Bundesliga Odds: Top 4 Teams to Win this Season

Most of the major European domestic leagues have already started, but the opening weekend in Germany is coming our way this weekend.

Bayer Leverkusen are coming into the new season as the defending champions, which is sure to be a surprise to some, given that it is usually Bayern Munich who come in with that label.

My Analysis

Yes, last season was a surprise in the Bundesliga, but was that a one-off situation, or will we see someone other than the Munich giants win it again this season?

The bookies certainly have an idea as to how they think things will go, so let’s take a closer look at the odds for the 2024-25 Bundesliga season.

Bayern Munich Bundesliga Pick -202

Heading into last season, Bayern Munich were looking to win their 12th straight Bundesliga title, and with Harry Kane in as their new striker for the season, there looked to be no reason why they wouldn’t win it.

Kane definitely held up his end of the bargain, scoring a staggering number of goals in his first year with Bayen, but the rest of it was a total disaster.

Munich ended up down in 3rd, which resulted in a manager change this off season. They have made some other changes this season and should come back stronger.

I would be surprised if they are not back on top this season.

Bundesliga Time⏰ 🇩🇪

Ahead of the Bundesliga's return, we're asking four key questions:

— Can Bayer Leverkusen run it back?
— Will Harry Kane ever win a trophy?
— Can the chasing pack challenge?
— Who are the new boys?@DavidSegar_ has those covered:https://t.co/37tLPbUn6u

Bayer Leverkusen Bundesliga Pick +255

Only time will tell.

RB Leipzig Bundesliga Pick +1250

Realistically speaking, I don’t think that anyone believes that Leipzig will be challenging for the Bundesliga title this season.

In reality, they will be looking for a top 4 finish and a spot in the Champions League next season. The money made by getting into that competition is usually more than enough to help teams bring in new players in the off season.

Over the last 9 years, Leipzig has finished in the top 3 no less than 5 times. They were 4th last season and may well need to settle for that type of finish again.

As long as they get Champions League football, the season will likely be seen as a success.
