Everyone knows that them losing against Mainz was not expected because there is no point that is shown that Mainz performed better than Bayern Munich. All that happened as a result of luck; that is why they were able to win the game, which was the first lost game for Bayern Munich. Although it is not still bad because there are 4 points ahead of their threat, which is Bayer Leverkusen, if Bayern Munich is more consistent in their performance, then this will be their best season to win the trophy. That means Kane will be able to raise his first trophy in his career because he deserves it, and we all know that because Kane's performance as a striker is already at the next level, he is doing his best.

I feel like they are surely doing fine enough that they will not go down this season. They just realized, they can't do great at the top, that won't happen and they also know that they are not going to do that badly and go down, so they are in a limbo. When a team finishes 12th, there is nothing for them, no relegation, no uefa games, nothing. So there is no bravery in firing your coach, considering how bad could you get. This is why Union Berlin did this move at a comforting place, they knew that the results couldn't be that bad and that's why they were in a good situation to handle without a doubt.

I can see why this could be a bit of a trouble for some people because they are always shocked when a manager gets fired, and I do agree that Union Berlin wasn't really expected to do awesome neither, so there isn't some unexpected results from them, this is what they are capable of doing, so why fire the manager right?

Well, because he hasn't overachieved, and there is no bad return when they are not careful with this neither. This is why they had easy time firing Bo Svensson, he wasn't giving them something they couldn't live without, and not like they are going to get some world class level manager neither, they are not going to chase Ancelotti lol. So they can find someone decent enough I am sure.

I said it might be the reason for their poor form not that playing in the champions league is the main issue and I agree with you about the players being tired. Is not easy to go all out last season without losing a game and becoming a champion, I believe last season was the biggest challenge they have had in a very long while and it paid well for them. I also love how they play this season, they're facing each game with that same seriousness of last season but you'd agree with me that Leverkusen isn't as aggressive as they were last season compared to this season. But they (Leverkusen) are still on track and is giving Bayern Munich a bit of pressure on the title race even as the Barbarians are topping they know is not safe yet knowing very well that Bayer Leverkusen are very close.

From the current position of Union Berlin in the league the team has been struggling to win matches despite having a very solid defense, they have collected 17 points after playing 15 matches and they are currently occupying the 12th position in the league which is not a good position for a team that was doing well in the league before now. The team will only get better if their attacking force increases and they are able to play more of attacking football instead of focusing only on defense when they still losses matches at the end of the day. Union Berlin still has chances of escaping the relegation zone that's if the team is going to get better in performance but it they lose their next game against Heidenheim they may face the risk of going down to 14th position which is closer to the relegation zone. They only have to win matches and score goals if they want to remind in the league despite doing well in the defense.

Munich and leverkusen can be said to be the closest team that has the potential to win the title at the end of the season, although actually frankfurt and also leipzig still have the potential to enter the championship competition at this time, but we must admit if the tighter competition occurs between leverkusen and munich at this time.
the match later will be very decisive for leverkusen who are ambitious to catch up with them from munich, although indeed facing dortmund is not an easy job, but I think with the consistency and performance possessed by leverkusen allows them to win 3 points at dortmund home later, especially in another match munchen will face gladbach which has often made it difficult for them, so it will indirectly motivate alonso squad to get win over dortmund in the match later.

They should be have done earlier already weeks ago and tried to get a new Coach before the end of the year.
I guess that every new Coach who will getting the job there will be not lead them to the top or near the places in the table.
As Odohu has mentioned already there main target should be this season to avoid the relegation places and start fresh next season.

It is a big match, and I don't think anyone will expect the game to be easy for either of the team. Even if we judge based on their performance, both Dortmund and Leverkusen are playing well. However, the only difference is that Leverkusen are on a winning streak. Still, that doesn't guarantee they will beat Dortmund.

These kinds of matches are always unpredictable because anything can happen. Both teams are strong, and each will prepare well for the match, as it holds significant importance for them. Let's just see what happens in the match. If I were to predict, I would say the game may likely end in a draw.

At the current stage of the league, Union Berlin should only focus on evading relegationthis season because they are not doing so well like they are known to be in the past. No doubt they have strong defense line and this is the reason they have conceding less goals this season and if they had been scoring goals while ensure they defend they way they do, their position in the league would have been much better. I only hope the adjustments being made in the club will lead to some major changes in playing tactics and put the team on the attacking side as much as they are defending.

Xabi will have a stronger intention to win the match to compete for the Bundesliga title this season. Their performance is very good now although not like last season, but they still play well.
Dortmund also has a strong motivation to win this match, previously they also held Munich to a draw. The results of this match may also be the same, but making betting predictions will be quite difficult to choose a win.
I don't see Dortmund being very bad, but maybe they have to work harder to force a win from Leverkusen.

In my opinion, the steps taken by Union Berlin management are quite brave regarding the dismissal of their coach. This is Bo Svensson's first season in charge of Union Berlin, yes, the coach has not shown his good work and has only been able to lead Union Berlin to 12th place in the standings, but this is only approaching the second half of the season, besides that I see Bo Svensson quite successful. Union Berlin has become a team with a strong defense this season, he only needs to fix the attack line, that's where Union Berlin's problem lies, I'm quite sure that if they bring in quality attacking players, Union Berlin can become a team that can be respected like in the 22/23 season, they managed to occupy the top 4 at the end of the season.

But what else can we do, the dismissal has happened and we might see Union Berlin sink even further this season.

The Bundesliga title is between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen. These top clubs have something in common and that's precisely streak winning. They can't separate these differences other than improving in all games. Borrusia Dortmund hosts Bayer Leverkusen at Signal-Iduna Park and what are your expectations for this clash? Reference from bothsides, Dortmund are ranked 6th position while Leverkusen are climbing closer to first spot. This is one of the big games in Bundesliga following their previous records in the league. Their last meetings, it ended in a draw, that's absolutely not going to happen because Nuri Sahin is giving high hopes to bounce back to the top four. While Xabi Alonso have been special in his own ways, taking good responsibility of Leverkusen and showing competent evidence.

I am not expecting an easy match either but Leverkusen still remains the favourite here. Dortmund might not want to concede to Leverkusen that easily but from the performance of Leverkusen this season and their recent winning streaks Dortmund will just have to prepare  twice what they would have done on a normal day.

A draw is also visible but I am not too sure Leverkusen will want to stain their position in the table. I mean the need to keep their winning consistent so the stand a big chance to contend for the title this season.
 

I hope the match will be interesting, because currently Borussia Dortmund is in serious trouble with their performance this season. While Leverkusen has just regained their lost performance at the beginning of the season, they look more prepared.
I agree that this will not be an easy match for any team playing at Borussia Dortmund's home ground, every opponent will definitely get a lot of pressure from Borussia Dortmund supporters. But on the other hand this is also not an easy match for Borussia Dortmund, because they will face an opponent with a fairly promising game at this time.

a very late coach sacking was announced today . union berlin sacks its coach Bo Svensson with immediate effect. the team of union berlin has already
not won 9 matches in a row and last lost against werder bremen with 1:4. it is not yet known who will be the new coach at union berlin.
the new coach should then lead the team from 12th place to the top. but that will not be easy for the new coach either

I also see Xabi Alanso seems to have learned from his mistakes and seems to have found his best formation which has made Leverkusen return to its best performance lately. Leverkusen is even currently pressing Bayern Munich because they have managed to reduce the gap to only 4 points. Although currently many football observers and even bookies place Bayern Munich as big favorites, but if they start to lose points, I think Leverkusen can do it in a row.

That could happen, last season Leverkusen even made an extraordinary comeback in almost every match in every match, this season it is not impossible that Leverkusen will give a surprise by overthrowing Bayern Munich in first place because Leverkusen's mentality under Xabi Alanso has been formed since last season. Even last season Bayer Leverkusen became a team that could destroy the Munich dynasty in the Bundesliga, they made a crazy transformation, they will also do that for this season. Leverkusen's tough test begins in their next match against Dortmund, if they manage to steal a point in this match then the possibilities I have mentioned above may come true.

Dortmund will indeed not give an easy way to every opponent including a team like Leverkusen when competing at Signal Iduna Park, but when I see the quality of Dortmund's team strength this season it seems that they will also not find it easy to stop Leverkusen's progress when visiting their headquarters so that the more difficult pressure will definitely be felt by Dortmund itself than the Leverkusen team which has also started to improve again. However, for this week and next week there will be no matches in the Bundesliga so that each team can have time to improve their respective conditions.

Having the mentality of winning trophies is different from having the right players to win the trophy. Like what Weawant said, because Kompany was coaching an average team is the reason why he hasn't won any trophy, since he doesn't have the players to win the league. Bayern is a big club with quality players, and that has given Kompany the opportunity to showcase his talent with these players so that he can win his first trophy this season.

Many don't quite appreciate how much of a big thing it was for Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga last season. Before that, Bayern won 11 years in a row and Leverkusen broke that streak.
It seemed like all the other clubs just accepted the status quo of Bayern as the hegemon and haven't been showing much interest in investing in their squads to become more competitive. It's worth noting that German clubs historically tended to spend a lower percentage of their revenues on player salaries compared to clubs in other major European leagues.
I don't think Leverkusen's success was due to heavy investing as much as it was due to Xabi Alonso being able to build a great team from what he had, but they managed to break the mold and make things more interesting. So I'm hoping that Leverkusen will keep putting pressure on Bayern in this and the following seasons.

The match against Dortmund is very important for Leverkusen because if Leverkusen can get the result in their favor, they will move into a very strong position in terms of points and their points will be almost equal to Bayern Munich's points. Currently, Bayern Munich is already under pressure, if Bayern Munich loses points in any match, other teams can occupy their position, so they have to play very carefully.

Leverkusen went undefeated last season and won the league title so this team is not to be taken lightly. In each of the remaining matches, Bayern Munich will have to perform in such a way that they can overtake all the other teams with more points and make the German league title easier for them.

Kompany is still doing a pretty good work in the Bundesliga.    Maybe that Mainz loss was unexpected but the way they made up for that was amazing. A 5-1 win over Leipzig even in a game that Kane doesn't score...

Maybe this is finally going to be Kane's season to win his first official trophy in his career. But there is a serious Leverkusen threat right behind. Let's see Xabi Alonso hunts Bayern Munich down once again.

Normally I would really wish that to happen. But thinking about Kane no, I can't.    I'm sad for him that he has 0 trophies in his career despite being one of the best strikers in the world.
