Bundesliga Betting

The Bundesliga is the top football league in Germany. Fans around the world eagerly tune in to every Bundesliga match as they bet on their favourite teams and hope for a win. If you want to bet, we’ve put together a comprehensive betting guide to help make the process a straightforward one if you’re looking to bet on German football.

About the German Bundesliga

The idea of football leagues is not a new one in Germany. The first regional league was created in 1898, in fact, and was known as the Southern German Football Championship (Süddeutsche Meisterschaft). In 1963, the top clubs in the country were invited to serve as the 16 founders of the Bundesliga, the top tier of Germany’s football league system. It was established by the German Football Association (DFB), but since 2001, it has been organized by Deutsche Fußball Liga.

How to Bet on the Bundesliga

As the top football league in Germany, it is not surprising that the Bundesliga has fans all around the world. Are you looking for an easy way to bet on your favourite Bundesliga players or teams? If so, you’re in the right place.

Simply select your betting market from our sportsbook, decide how much money you would like to bet, and place your wager. It really is that simple. However, understanding a bit more about the various Bundesliga betting markets available to you might make the process a bit easier.

Bundesliga Outright Betting Markets

If you want to place a bet on the Bundesliga winner, you should look into outright betting markets. The Bundesliga’s outright betting markets give you the chance to pick your favourite team for the title and wager in their favour. Note that this is not a bet for a single game. There is another market concerning individual matchups, which we’ll discuss below. The outright winner is for the championship title.

Due to the domination of one specific Bundesliga team, the odds for the outright betting markets are usually fairly one-sided, though this can change with surprise entries.

Bundesliga Match Betting Markets

Bundesliga match betting markets are the right choice if you want to bet on individual matchups. If you want to bet on the winner of a Bayern Munich v RB Leipzig game, for example, you can use the Bundesliga game betting market to wager. Note that the odds here can vary sharply depending on the specific teams involved, so make sure that you do a bit of research before placing your bet.

Bundesliga Player Betting Markets

The Bundesliga is full of exceptional players. From Bayern Munich to the more recent rise of RB Leipzig and Frankfurt, there are many incredibly talented teams in the league. As you might expect, this means that there is a variety of elite players involved in the matches.

If you want to bet on a player rather than a team or a match, this is the betting market for you. Bundesliga player betting markets give you the ability to place wagers on which player will score the most goals during the season, for example, or even which player will score the most during an individual match.

2023 Bundesliga Betting Odds

Who will be the standout teams and players in the 2023 Bundesliga season? Who will win the title, and who will score the most goals across the league campaign?

2023 Bundesliga Winner

In 2022, Bayern Munich made it 10 seasons in a row that they’ve finished the Bundesliga season top of the pile and will be confident of doing so again. Borussia Dortmund seem to be their most realistic rivals, although they ultimately fell short by 8 points in the end.

Elsewhere, the likes of Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig will be looking to stay in the title discussion for a longer period this time around, while Union Berlin and SC Freiburg are the other teams who could mount a challenge if everything comes together for them this season.

2023 Bundesliga Top Scorer

Last season’s Bundesliga top scorer was Robert Lewandowski, who scored an impressive 35 goals across the season. However, now that he has moved on to Barcelona in La Liga, who will take his crown in 2023?

Patrik Schick of Bayer Leverkusen was second to Lewandowski last year, and might be a worthy selection to come out on top this time around. Further afield, there is speculation that the likes of Leipzig’s Christopher Nkunku and Marcus Thuram of Borussia Mönchengladbach could step up this season. Frankfurt’s Randal Kolo Muani also has the potential to deliver following his impressive World Cup and transfer from Nantes.

Bundesliga Betting FAQs

Which Teams Are Consistently in the Bundesliga Title Race?

While all of the clubs competing in the Bundesliga have talented players, some offer a more consistent performance than others. Bayern Munich, for example, are a mainstay of the title race, along with fellow giants Borussia Dortmund and, more recently, RB Leipzig. There are other names that routinely feature in the title race, but you can count on these three teams to be at or near the top of the table at the end of the season.

Which Teams Are Outsiders For European Positions in the Bundesliga?

Some recent outsiders for European positions include SC Freiburg, Union Berlin, and FSV Mainz 05, who may offer slightly better odds to finish in the top six than the likes of Dortmund, Bayern, and Leipzig. With this said, it is important to look at the latest numbers before making a bet, as things can change incredibly quickly in the Bundesliga.

Which Surprise Teams Could be Relegated From the Bundesliga in the Next Few Years?

The Bundesliga relegates the two lowest-placed teams every season. These two teams switch places with the top two teams in 2.Bundesliga, the second division in the German football system. There is also a two-legged playoff between the third-lowest-placed team in the Bundesliga and the third-highest team in the 2.Bundesliga.

So, which surprise teams are potentially looking at relegation within the next few years? Some of our picks include VfL Bochum 1848, FC Augsburg, Hertha BSC, and VfB Stuttgart. Do these picks align with yours?

Who Has Won the Bundesliga the Most?

One team have absolutely dominated the Bundesliga competition. With more than 30 title wins, Bayern Munich are an almost unbeatable force in the tournament.

Which Bundesliga Side Have Been Relegated the Most?

The team with the most relegations in Bundesliga history are Nuremberg. They have been relegated from the Bundesliga nine times, though it should be noted that they have bounced back at their first attempt on four separate occasions.
