⚽ Bundesliga 2024/25 discussion and predictions thread ⚽

After the first 10 rounds, I can honestly say that things are not going as I expected before the start of the season.
Bayern doesn't disappoint, I'd even say that Kompany, considering his lack of experience in managing a top team, is doing really well.
I expected much more from Leverkusen, Dortmund and, especially, from Stuttgart.

The dark horse of this season turned out to be Eintracht Frankfurt. But, even though they defeated Stuttgart on Sunday, I'm still not convinced they represent the top level and I expect them to drop down a bit as the season progresses. But my predictions were all crap, so who knows.

And yes, it's not what I expected either. a tight race just for second place. A boring season seems to be repeating itself...
All the amazing results achieved by Leverkusen last season seem to have evaporated without leaving a trace, Dortmund is poor, let alone Stuttgart.
The saddest thing is the appearance of Bundesliga clubs in the Europe Champion League or Europa League, they seem to have a hard time competing at the top

For a team with the strength of Bayern Munich, it is quite easy for them to return to their best performance after last season they failed to show it and it was the first time in a decade that they had to fail to defend the title.

Previously I also thought that they would be able to recover quickly, and we can see that now where they can play well. Yes, even though it is too maximal, they show positive things with the new coach.

Being in 7th position is not a good sight for Borussia Dortmund. We are used to seeing them right below Bayern Munich, and previously they were also a team that was expected to be a stumbling block for Bayern Munich.

However, this season they have to fall repeatedly at the beginning of this season, it makes the trust in them decrease drastically. There needs to be an evaluation carried out by the management to discuss the future of this team.

The Special Two are now in seventh place, It's not good at all.

Although the players are behind Sahin, it seems his magic has not worked optimally.
During his time as Assistant Coach under Edin Terzic, he built a strong bond of trust with the squad, and the board of directors also remained supportive of Sahin, but there would be no new players in the winter, despite injury concerns.
No new players being recruited means there will be no good surprises that we can expect from Dortmund.

Bayern Munich's dominance will continue in the Bundesliga even after this season likely because the only coach that has given them issues with the team he has managed which is Bayer Leverkusen, is strongly linked to Real Madrid after this season. When Xabi leaves, Leverkusen will struggle to adjust to life after him. It may take a long while before they will be able to be Bundesliga champions again because Vincent Kompany is looking like a coach that will dominate the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich again.

Yeah, all signs point to Xabi Alonso leaving Bayer Leverkusen at the end of the season and his joining Real Madrid next season is a hot rumor. Flick Ball vs. Xabi Ball is good for La Liga but bad for the Bundesliga...
The destiny of the Bundesliga seems only for Bayern, other clubs are just complements.
However, the season isn't over yet. After the international break, I still expect Leverkusen to bounce back, and Alonso will show that he is a great coach and deserves to be Ancelotti's successor in Madrid.

I personally would probably give Sahin time to be in his place, even though his team's performance is currently declining. Yes, time must still be given and there are still things that can be improved. Unless their performance is very bad, maybe I will insist that Sahin must go.

Borussia Dortmund supporters are very loyal, they should be able to appreciate the loyalty of the supporters more. The easiest way is to change their habits so far.

As it is the fact that Bayern Munich has been controlling the Bundesliga for the long time now, we have to agree to the thing that every change in team and coach is capable of meaning new opportunities for the competition. The suggestion is that losing Xabi could be a problem for Bayer Leverkusen but it also could be an opportunity to really bring in new players and construct a more durable strength for the long term. However, at the same time, using the example of Vincent Kompany at Bayern Munich, we should welcome that the teams are slowly searching for a way for developing stronger to create even more interesting games in the Bundesliga. A balance competition will always produce an exciting league and it will afford all the team an equal opportunity to grow.

Bundesliga is getting tighter this season, many clubs want to compete better. But unfortunately, Leverkusen, which we expect will be Bayern Munich's toughest rival again this season, has not performed optimally so far. In fact, Leverkusen has only been able to draw several times, even from small clubs, this raises doubts about Xabi to stay at the club or leave. But if he goes to Real Madrid, is Xabi really ready to manage Real Madrid with his abilities and experience? Hmm, for now it seems like not.

In week 11, Borussia Dortmund will host Freiburg. This will be a tough match for both teams, and although Borussia Dortmund will play at home, they also have the opportunity to get negative results again.

In terms of goal productivity, Borussia Dortmund is better than Freiburg. However, in terms of defense, Freiburg is better than Borussia Dortmund, so with this they both have their own advantages and disadvantages which may be the deciding factor in this match.

There is currently no discussion about a coaching change, The board still supports Sahin but with what is on the pitch every minute I fear the next failure.
If the downturn continues and Dortmund fails this season, it will not be entirely Sahin’s fault but it will be the management’s fault for getting rid of Terzic and letting Sahin come on board.
They decided to part ways with a coach who took them to the UCL finals for Sahin.
Sahin is not experienced or good enough at this level. IMO

No big games in the Bundesliga this weekend, Bayern and Bayer have relatively easy games with teams from the bottom of the table.
I think the most interesting one is Dortmund (currently 7th) Vs Freiburg (5th). Dortmund are horribly inconsistent this season mixing really good games with a really bad ones, so I wonder how will they perform against a solid team like Freiburg.

Potentially decent odds for Leipzig, who are playing away against Hoffenheim. Leipzig's recent games were far from perfect, but if they put themselves back together, they should manage to grab 3 points. The odds for that are x2.05.

Ever the decision to change the coach is fraught with risk, and it is usually on the pitch that success or failure is marked. If the performance of the particular team gets lower we would have to look at it as the time when we consider the general management approach, not the scapegoat. Therefore the current coach has to be backed which also means that the future moves will have to be well thought out. Change is only possible and desirable if the change is premised on the correct direction to take and people’s determined effort to make things better.

I know, and I agree with that but replacing a coach who has taken them to the UCL final with one with little experience is a Downgrade.
And the highlight was that Sahin often seemed too satisfied with the temporary lead when the match was still ongoing, he was too quick to make substitutions. This was seen when goalscorers Donyell Malen and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens were replaced by defender Waldemar Anton and defensive midfielder Pascal Gross early in the second half of their defeat to Madrid.
