Betting on the Bundesliga can give you great excitement. Considered one of the top leagues in the world, the Bundesliga is the top football division in Germany. There are 18 competing teams who face each other home and away to determine the German champions. At the end of the 34 matchday season, the top six teams qualify for the European competitions. The clubs finishing in the top five all qualified for the Champions Leagu Group Stag. Behind them, the sixth and seventh-placed teams qualified for the Europa League and the eighth-placed club for the Europa Conference League. Down at the bottom end of the table, the clubs finished 17th and 18th are automatically relegated. The side finishing 16th goes into a play-off with the team finishing third in Bundesliga II.
There are some great clubs playing in the Bundesliga. First of all, how can we not mention the great Bayern Munich, record holder of titles on the national scene? With world-class players, a heavenly Allianz Arena and top-notch supporters, Bayern have all the assets they need to win the title at the end of the season. It wouldn't be surprising, as every year the sports betting sites see them as the ultimate favourites to win the title. Behind the Bavarian club, other institutions are also dreaming, from Borussia Dortmund to RB Leipzig, through Leverkusen or Borussia Mönchengladbach. All these great football clubs make the Bundesliga prediction one of the favourites of European bettors.

Here's a look at key stats from the 2023/24 Bundesliga season.
See all the Bundesliga odds now!
Last season saw a bit of a shock as Bayer Leverkusen won their first-ever Bundesliga title. Xabi Alonso has proven himself to be an exceptional coach with the team not tasting defeat in any of their 34 league matches. Whether they are going to be able to repeat, the dose will be interesting as the other teams have had a chance to find ways to beat them and repeating is difficult.
Bayern Munich will start the season with a chip on their shoulder. Not only did they not win the league which, given the arrival of Harry Kane, they would have expected to do, and they did not even finish second. They are going to be like a wounded animal and with a team of their class, that is going to make them a very dangerous proposition both at home and in Europe. They have a point to prove and they are taken to prove it in style and take themselves back to the summit.
