Bundesliga

Bring your most baseless predictions for the Bundesliga season, and leave them here, where no one's stupidity will be judged.

Forget about Thorgan Hazard, Donyell Malen and Karim Adeyemi, because we already have the winger we need. Bayern Munich. Which Bundesliga coach was heralded as the second coming of Jürgen Klopp: Julian Nagelsmann. And who is going to be their coach to lead them to a Bundesliga title once the dust settles? He’s ripe like an avocado, and he just had his interview with Patrick Owomoyela at this season’s training camp! I approached my response to this question as such: if Colin Cowherd were a Bundesliga pundit, what would his take be coming into the season? So which team would love to jettison their coach as soon as someone mutters the word complacency? I also predict that Karim Adeyemi will earn the European Golden Boy award for 22-23, and Marco Reus will have an injury-free season. Bayern turns to their perfect replacement: Mauricio Pochettino... who has just signed a deal with some Mediterranean club. To bring this series to a satisfying end, we thought it appropriate to finish with something a little bit fun that can get all the writers and readers involved. Or is it Freiburg’s year to go all the way in the Europa League? Even BVB got in on the action and hosted their own Red Wedding for Marco Rose this offseason. Perhaps we’ll see Germany’s heavyweights both languishing around midtable in the first half of the season. Look, Bayern Munich are always one game away from kicking up a stink about absolutely nothing (and somehow continuing to win despite it), and it hasn’t felt like Nagelsmann, for all his talent, has won everybody over yet.

Sport-Club Freiburg, 9:30 a.m. 1899 Hoffenheim, 9:30 a.m. Hertha BSC, 9:30 a.m. Eintracht Frankfurt playing FC Bayern Munich on Friday is naturally a must-watch if it means seeing Bayern’s newest addition in Sadio Mané. After Lewandowski’s departure, it is likely we will see Mané play a more central role for the defending Bundesliga champions. FC Bayern Munich will look to extend their title streak after winning their 10th consecutive Bundesliga title last season and 32nd title overall.

Nikola Velickovic is a sports journalist who loves to write and read on all sports. They invested wisely during the transfer window, unlike RB and Eintracht, who didn’t solve their biggest questions and could be in problems if they sell players near the deadline, as they won’t have enough time to react and bring proper replacements. Right now, it seems that Leverkusen and Dortmund have the highest chances of reaching the UCL spot. The same goes for Eintracht and Leverkusen, who have several players waiting for transfers abroad. That is the key to why they can’t challenge Bayern, who has a roster formed years ago, that suffers minimal changes from year to year. The German national championship is rich with goals, teams prefer an attacking-minded style of play with a high tempo and very quick transition from defense to offense.

It was the Senegalese forward’s first Bundesliga goal following his transfer from Liverpool. Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp, who was expecting a cross, was late to react. It sent a huge cloud of smoke over the Frankfurt goal and may even have aided the visitors as Joshua Kimmich scored through the haze with a free kick in off the right post in the fifth minute.

Sadio Mané has scored on his league debut and Bayern Munich has routed Eintracht Frankfurt 6-1 to start the new Bundesliga.

It was the Senegalese forward’s first Bundesliga goal following his transfer from Liverpool. “With the two early goals, the game took a certain direction,” Frankfurt coach Oliver Glasner said. Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp, who was expecting a cross, was late to react.

"He turns tight games in our favour with his goals and his assists; that's hugely important for us and for the fans," Leipzig's young coach, Domenico Tedesco, ...

"I can’t say whether we’re good enough to win the league but we will be in the hunt and we will give it our best shot." "I prefer to use my free afternoons to get back out on the pitch," he said. We want to take our chances to win a title in every competition [and] I’m happy to be part of this strong team spirit," the player capped six times for France added. Whatever happens, it's set to be an exciting spectacle, with 50 goals scored between the teams across those 15 games, suggesting we're in for a monumental battle in a rivalry that is growing by the season. When Nkunku is on fire, as is the case more often than not, Leipzig are capable of beating anyone. A 4-1 deficit was reduced to 4-3, with Nkunku among the goals as Leipzig surged for an unlikely equaliser.

The stunning Allianz Arena has been the home of the record German champions since Bayern moved from the Munich Olympic Stadium to its current home in time for ...

Construction on the Wohninvest Weserstadion - its official name as of July 2019 - was originally completed in 1947, but it has since undergone a number of renovations. Add to that the arena’s retractable pitch (it's often used for music concerts) and roof, plus four-screen video cube to ensure every fan has a fantastic view of the pitch itself and the replays, and you have a stadium that is the envy of clubs around the world. With a capacity of 27,599, the ground - which has borne the name of sponsor Vonovia since 2016 - has staged a number of international matches since Germany faced Hungary there in 1922. Having well and truly established themselves in the Bundesliga at the end of the 1990s, Wolfsburg commissioned construction of the Volkswagen Arena in 2001. TSG played their football at the Dietmar-Hopp-Stadion until moving to the Rhein-Neckar-Arena - which operates now as the PreZero Arena - in 2009 as the club's home had to match its soaring ambitions. Since 1985, the stadium has hosted the DFB Cup final each May. In previous years when Hertha have not been in the Bundesliga, they have often played home games away from the Olympiastadion at smaller grounds in Berlin, such as the Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Sportpark, the Poststadion and previously at the “Plumpe” Stadion am Gesundbrunnen before its demolition. It is located in the southeast of Berlin in the district of Köpenick and currently holds 22,012 spectators. The ground was opened in 1974 as a result of Dortmund needing a stadium fit to host the 1974 World Cup after the city replaced Cologne. It wasn't until Dortmund's top-flight promotion in 1976 that Bundesliga football was played at the stadium, while six matches of the 2006 World Cup were held at the Signal Iduna Park, including Germany's 2-0 defeat to Italy in the semis. The homely feel at the Försterei was taken to another level during the 2014 World Cup as the club set up 750 sofas on the pitch in front of a big screen so that fans could watch matches from their very own living room in the house of Union. The stadium is now seen as an important part of the club’s - and wider community's - very identity. Leipzig’s Red Bull Arena has stood in its current form since 2004, when it was reconstructed within the city’s old Zentralstadion in a manner similar to Chicago’s Soldier Field. Having provided the backdrop to three FIFA Confederations Cup matches in 2005, the stadium was the only ground in the former East Germany to host 2006 World Cup games, with five played there. Six 2006 FIFA World Cup matches, and four UEFA Euro 2020 games were played at the venue, while the Allianz Arena will welcome five Euro 2024 fixtures, including the semi-final on 7 July. With an overall capacity of 75, 024 for domestic matches and 70,000 for internationals, it is the second-largest stadium in the country. At its heart is the iconic Yellow Wall which is the largest terrace in European football and holds 24,451 fans on its own.
