Bundesliga predictions

The German top flight is one of the best leagues in the world and that’s been the case since Bundesliga’s inception in 1963, which is much later compared to other major European leagues.

Bundesliga consists of 18 teams playing in a round-robin format, so it’s the only Big Five league next to Ligue 1 that doesn’t have 20 teams.

Here we have every twist and turn covered with our Bundesliga betting tips, but if you want to see daily predictions and tips for all the best leagues, check out our football betting tips today.

Most likely winners – Bavarians to dominate again

After a one-season break in which Bayer Leverkusen lifted the Bundesliga trophy, Bayern Munich promptly proved once again just how dominant they are in German football and won the Bundesliga twice in a row, each time quite comfortably.

So, ahead of the 2026-27 season, Bayern Munich are favoured to win again and they are the favourites by a wide margin.

Other teams that are seen as the most likely winners, after Bayern, are Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, and Bayer Leverkusen, with Stuttgart and Hoffenheim even further behind.

Relegation candidates – Elversberg and Paderborn topping the list

The newly promoted Elversberg and Paderborn are seen as the main relegation candidates by the bookies, while Schalke, the third promoted team, are behind Koln when it comes to potential relegation, according to the odds.

Other teams that the bookies could see relegated include Hamburg, Augsburg, Mainz, Werder, and Union Berlin.

Top scorer favourites – Can anybody catch Harry Kane?

After scoring a whopping 36 goals in his first season with Bayern Munich, Harry Kane scored a more modest 26 goals in his second season. Last season, he once again reached 36 goals, winning his third Golden Boot in a row in the Bundesliga.

So, it’s hardly a surprise that the bookies see Kane as the overwhelming favourite to finish as Bundesliga’s top scorer once again.

Far behind England’s captain are Serhou Guirassy, Deniz Undav, Luis Diaz, Patrik Schick, and Michael Olise.
