The Bundesliga champions and the two teams directly below them get a guaranteed spot in the Champions League group stage while the fourth placed side are entered into the playoff round of qualifying. Therefore, Bundesliga Outright odds don’t just include the winner market but also markets about who will grab a place in the top four. There are also German Bundesliga odds on head-to-head leagues, specials for individual teams and for which teams will finish fifth and sixth as they qualify for the Europa League group stage and qualifying round respectively. It’s not just in Outright odds where a bettor can thrive. With the popularity of the Bundesliga growing within betting circles, most bookies offer a great selection of individual match odds and markets which can offer plenty of betting value all season round. You’ll find betting classics such as Match Result, Correct Score and Both Teams To Score at pretty much every bookmaker around, but most of these bookies offer a much more thorough betting experience. Other Bundesliga odds available include Half-Time/Full-Time, Asian Handicap, Anytime Goalscorer and Total Goals Over/Under - markets that are generally priced longer than standard Match Result markets. Betting on corners, free-kicks and throw-ins has become common in recent times, and many bookies offer these markets on the Bundesliga too. Whatever your favourite betting markets are, the Bundesliga is a great league to find them.
Bundesliga Odds - Outright Winner
Bayern Munich have monopolised the Bundesliga in recent years. The Bavarian side have won the title a record 25 times, including in each of the last four seasons. Bayern are so full of quality that you will often find fairly big Bundesliga winner odds on high quality teams like Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen and Schalke. Bayern also dominate the player markets - preseason Bundesliga top scorer odds will always favour their most talented strikers. As with all Bundesliga odds, title odds will fluctuate as the season progresses. It may be worth keeping your eye on the teams expected to finish around the higher echelons of the table, as their odds can prove valuable if they can mount a serious challenge for the championship crown. As well as straightforward title odds, there are also opportunities for variations on this market. Some bookmakers will offer you odds on how many points a particular side will win the division by, or with how many games left in the season will they have wrapped up the title. Odds on these variations tend to be slightly longer than Outright title odds, so take a look at where the value lies.
Bundesliga Odds - Relegation
You will find that markets containing Bundesliga relegation odds are extremely competitive and a little different to those you’ll find in the English leagues. For the bottom two sides, the situation is simple - they are automatically relegated to the Bundesliga 2. But at the end of the season, the 16th placed Bundesliga side and the third-placed Bundesliga 2 team face off in a two-legged playoff with the winner grabbing a place in the top flight. Generally, the sides who have just achieved promotion to the Bundesliga will be the shortest-priced. There may be value, though, in looking at the sides who have hovered around the relegation zone in the most recent previous campaigns, as these teams may finally succumb to the drop.
Bundesliga Odds In-Play
Betting in-play is a fantastic way of finding betting value and covering your pre-match bets. As the Bundesliga is popular with viewers and bettors alike, bookmakers are keen to offer extensive in-play BUNDESLIGA odds on every game of the season. With Next Goalscorer, Next Team To Score and Final Score markets commonly available, there are lots of opportunities to make profit when betting on the Bundesliga. The bookies have cottoned on to the popularity of German football in recent years, and given the number of games broadcast on television internationally, there is always a healthy selection of Bundesliga betting odds available. Make sure to catch some of the action if you can as there is an abundance of quality and excitement amongst some excellent teams and players in Germany’s top flight.
Top Goalscorer Bundesliga Odds
Bayern Munich seem to have the conglomerate of the best-attacking players in German football. As such, you’ll find the Bundesliga top goalscorer market to consist of mainly Bayern players, most of whom are priced short. However, in recent years strikers from other sides have dominated the golden boot awards, with only two Bayern players finishing as top scorer in the last ten years. This means it’s a good idea to look around at strikers plying their trade away from Munich. There is plenty of value to be found if you look at other attacking teams who score heavily, with Bundesliga odds on occasion much longer, meaning more profit if your selection comes in. Betting on the Top Goalscorer market can provide a huge amount of excitement, with interest lasting from the start to the very end of the campaign.
Bundesliga Odds Without Dortmund and Bayern
If you ask any football fan who the two strongest sides in the Bundesliga are, they are likely to reply with Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. Both clubs are home to some of the most exciting players in European football, both defensively and going forward. This is why a number of bookmakers offer Bundesliga odds on who will finish top of the league if Bayern and Dortmund were discounted - in other words, who will finish third. The Bundesliga is becoming a lot more competitive, with teams like RB Leipzig beginning to make a huge impression on the top flight of German football. You can find some decent odds on third place finishers, make sure you take the best possible price.
Bundesliga Odds - Top 2 Finish?
Another Outright that might take your betting fancy is the Bundesliga Top Two Finish market. Bayern Munich and Dortmund in this market are priced extremely short, but if you reckon another side could break into the top two, the odds will be more favourable. Variations of this market that are available with most bookies include Top Three Finish, Top Four Finish, Top Six Finish and Top Ten Finish. Study each market thoroughly to accurately assess where the betting value lies.
Bundesliga Odds - Finish Last?
The relegation market is incredibly popular, but you can also place bets on who you think will finish dead last in the Bundesliga table. These Bundesliga odds are generally slightly longer than straight relegation odds, meaning you might find extra value and potentially more profitable bets.
Bundesliga Odds - Domestic Double Winner
Doubles markets can provide excellent value, particularly in countries where only one or two sides can realistically challenge for trophies. Betting on a team to win both their domestic league and domestic cup will, if you’re successful, result in greater profit than single bets. There are a few bookies who offer Bundesliga odds on Domestic Double Winners, with the clubs with the largest squad depths usually favourites. You can also find odds on No Double Winner.
