In the previous article, Bettor.com had a look at the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Bayern as potential title contenders for the upcoming campaign and discussed the possibilities of the two teams’ success in the next term.
Bettor.com will analyse two more teams who have the potential of going far in the Bundesliga next season and their chances of lifting the trophy at the end of the campaign. There is a great possibility that the winner is amongst
the previously mentioned two teams, but you never know what happens in the Bundesliga, a league which has produced five different champions in the last ten years.
Schalke
Die Knappen had a fantastic campaign last term as they finished in third place with an impressive 64 points in the end, hence automatically qualifying for the UEFA Champions League group stage. The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Royal-95-c40387 Blues showed a considerable
improvement from the 2010-11 season when they finished a disappointing 14th.
A lot of things went right for the Gelsenkirchen outfit last term as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Klaas-Jan-Huntelaar-c21175 peaked form at the club and scored a brilliant 29 league goals, which made him the highest scorer ahead of the likes of Mario Gomez and Robert
Lewandowski. The Dutchman’s partnership with Raul was also another thing that worked hugely in the favour of the German outfit.
However, the departure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tranquillo-Barnetta-c35516
and Roman Neustadter, both on a free transfer.
Many have predicted that the club will not be able to hold on to their top four place next season considering heavy spending from the likes of Bayer Leverkusen, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfL-Wolfsburg-c40881 and Hoffenheim, but Schalke have great quality in their
squad and a good mix of youth and experience could do the trick for them.
Borussia Monchengladbach
Lucien Favre’s side were certainly the surprise package last season as they achieved the amazing feat of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League. What makes the achievement even more impressive is that the Foals were fighting
to stay in the first division in the 2009-10 campaign.
The amazing success however, meant that many star players were linked with some of the top clubs at the end of the season. The club suffered a huge blow when the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dante-c10236 and Roman Neustadter, who all played a
significant role in the side’s top-four feat, left to join Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Schalke respectively.
But the former German champions utilised the money received from selling these players to the fullest to sign some very talented young players, who could play a huge role for the team in the years to come.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Twente-c39233 respectively as possible replacements to the departing players. Most analysts have regarded Monchengladbach’s signings as
the best business of the summer and are predicting a great campaign ahead for the club.
However, the inexperience of these young players and the lack of similarity to German football could also be a factor when the team begins the season in a week’s time.
