⚽ Bundesliga 2024/25 discussion and predictions thread ⚽

[$crypto$]

Borussia Dortmund is one of the big teams in the Bundesliga, almost every season they are always below Bayern Munich, except last season, they had to be eliminated far from the second rank they usually occupy.

I want to see their journey this season, seeing the beginning of the Bundesliga I can't see fully whether they will be able to be better or not. However, from the 2 matches they have played, they have won 1 and drawn 1.

They would always finish at the top of the table, but they haven't won the league in over 12 years, the last time they reached for the title was in the 2011/12 season. They were very close in 2022/23 though, when they ended up with the same number of points as Bayern.
It seems like Dortmund's owners are quite content with staying behind Bayern, as they don't tend to splash out money on expensive sign-ups etc.

Well that's what I can't understand about them, because if they want, they can actually show something better, it's just that they prioritize business over achievement.

I know that in football business cannot be separated, but I mean it would be much better if they put them in the same position. In addition to doing business, they also have to pursue achievements in the competitions they play.

Sebastian Kehl says they want to perform at the top level to compete in the Bundesliga, DFB Pokal, Champions League, and Club World Cup but their squad doesn't look promising, although results so far have not been too bad.
They were lucky last year to reach that far. Unfortunately, they don't deserve it, anyone who can only play in the Champions League and sometimes plays underground in the league is not the best team.

Leverkusen lost the game despite having a two-goal lead. Early loss for Leverkusen this season means that they will not be able to defend their Bundesliga title. The focus of Xabi Alonso's team should be bigger than just winning the Bundesliga but also involve performing well in the Champions League that has a new format. If Leverkusen are able to do well in the Champions League, their fans may be able to permit a slip in the defense for the Bundesliga title. The game ended 2-3; Leipzig won the game.

It was a bad result for Leverkusen. They missed 3 points and it makes Bayern Munich and Leipzig to lead the table. It is not a good start for Leverkusen and they failed to keep their unbeaten record. I think Leverkusen didn't performance as well as in the previous season. It may be caused some players leaving the club. Or other teams in Bundesliga have improved their strengthen.

In UCL, I think Leverkusen won't have a big chance to win the title. There are many strong teams in UCL, Leverkusen looks not a favorite team in UCL. Man City, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Inter Milan, and Bayern Munich look to be the favorite teams in UCL this season. I think Xabi won't target to reach the final.

All this is a learning experience , for Xabi Alonso all this will be feedback to his team, they know that they are doing things well, but there is something that is costing them, it is how to maintain the result, or to stay calm when they should defend well

Yes, that's right, this is important feedback and evaluation for all of them. Because, in the future, there will be many difficult matches that they have to face, not only in the Bundesliga, but also the UCL that awaits them.

snipped..

In the next match, Leverkusen will compete against a regular team. At least they can neutralize their emotions and disappointment over the defeat.

Don't worry., Leverkusen still hold more winnings than TSG Hoffenheim. So, I still believe in Xabi who can restore the confidence of all players quickly to fight much better. Because, they need continuous wins in the future. I'm sure Leverkusen will win.

Yes, Leverkusen's failure has put them in a rather sad and annoying position against Leipzig. Although their opponents are also big clubs. In the future, Leverkusen has a high chance of winning, so stay calm.

This is different from their opponents, namely Dortmund and Heidenheim, who have to fight each other in the early stages of the season. There are many pros and cons for both of them. It's just that, I think Dortmund might win. Eh, but I don't know, Heidenheim is not a weak opponent either.

Our discussion or question about Leverkusen to be able to maintain an unbeaten record in the Bundesliga is over after they suffered a defeat when facing Leipzig. Indeed, maintaining it will be much more difficult and that is what Leverkusen feels.

However, their chances of defending the title are still there and still very open for them. Now they have to learn from the defeat they received this season, they must be able to use it as a spur to make them even better.

Indeed, if you look at the head-to-head, Leverkusen should definitely win, hopefully Xabi and his friends will not make any mistakes in the match. Because, really, Leverkusen needs a full 3 points to be able to catch up with the clubs competing for the Bundesliga title. This is not easy, but it does not mean it is impossible, right?

Our discussion or question about Leverkusen to be able to maintain an unbeaten record in the Bundesliga is over after they suffered a defeat when facing Leipzig. Indeed, maintaining it will be much more difficult and that is what Leverkusen feels.

Yes, it's exactly finished.
And now, Leverkusen is struggling to be able to maintain as the winner of Bundesliga in which it is also going to be difficult. Because the competition in Bundesliga is much tighter and more competitors are starting to show the strength of their clubs that are more consistent in the future. This will be even more exciting, the Bundesliga is no longer like a few years ago which was quite boring. Now, there are many speculations and predictions in the Bundesliga, not only Bayern Munich dominates, but there are more and more clubs that have the potential to compete there. Moreover, the Bundesliga also sends a large number of clubs to the UCL match.

I like competition, the more competitive it is the better for the fans
A history filled with thrilling football, legendary clubs, great players, sportsmanship, and respect in this league.
This season the Bundesliga will present more entertaining and world-class football.IMO
For fans from Asia Pacific, the Bundesliga is more attractive because the Bundesliga has more Asian players than other European leagues, the best talents from Asia, and many Asian players become stars in the Bundesliga

Sebastian Kehl says they want to perform at the top level to compete in the Bundesliga, DFB Pokal, Champions League, and Club World Cup but their squad doesn't look promising, although results so far have not been too bad.

Talk is cheap. It doesn't seem like they are willing to put the money where their mouth is and invest in top-shelf players to stop being a permanent underdog in the European cups, counting mostly on luck.
As I said before, to me it looks like the club is content with staying in the shadow of Bayern (and maybe now Bayer as well), and they're not willing to risk any money to take the club to another level.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Yes, that's right, this is important feedback and evaluation for all of them. Because, in the future, there will be many difficult matches that they have to face, not only in the Bundesliga, but also the UCL that awaits them.

Yes, because basically everyone has their eyes set only on him, to see how they are going to play, and I am logical, because winning a Bundesliga being undefeated, it is obvious that all the tensions, attention and analysis will be on them, of course Byaern has stood out a bit, I also have a lot of faith in Dorun, because they are one of the teams that are most at the forefront right now, I think it will be difficult for another team to sneak in being undefeated, really right now this season I don't think they will leave like that, we need to see how Leverkusen has performed this season in the UCL.

Everyone can cook, but whether it tastes good is something else entirely
Dortmund has limited financial capabilities and Sebastian Kehl is willing to take risks in the transfer market, the recruitment of Nuri Sahin as a coach is proof of that.
Although there have been no outstanding achievements during his career as a coach,
In the end, BVB Legend is in the building. Wishing him luck. Anyway, Let’s see how it works out

This is what we expect that the competition will increase and make it more interesting to see the competition. Leverkusen is the team that is awaited this season, because they are the team that holds the status of defending champion.

Bayern Munich will also continue to pursue to regain the lost title, Borussia Dortmund should be motivated to do the same. Apart from them, other teams must also fight hard to be able to provide an extraordinary surprise.

Yes, Leverkusen failed to keep their unbeaten record because Leipzig defeated them. This season Leverkusen has no chance to finish the season with unbeaten record again. Everything looks to change in this season, Leverkusen is no longer as strong as the previous season.

It is true that they still have a chance to win Bundesliga title. It is still the beginning of the season, there are still too many matches left. But if we analyze their current performance, they look not really convincing anymore. I even consider Bayern Munich and Dortmund to be a better candidate of the champion this season.

Of course, because otherwise, it would be very boring, wouldn't it? Because for now, it's still a debate who will be the Bundesliga trophy holder this season, and it's fun. From when only Bayern Munich was dominant, it was boring because before the season started, we already knew that the winner would be Bayern Munich. But this season is different, we will really be curious.

Think about what happen in French League, it is still very predictable and dominant PSG as the winner, still not really interesting as other leagues whcih are very competitive.

I think this is right. Leverkusen lost to Leipzig so they can not go whole season without losing game. They do not seem as good as they were last season. They still have chance to win league but they have not been playing well lately.

Bayern Munich and Dortmund are looking stronger and have more chances to win. Unless Leverkusen gets a lot better it is hard to see them winning. There is still a lot of season left and things can change but right now it does not look like Leverkusen will win.
