After 24 rounds of action in the Bundesliga, it’s still looking increasingly likely that the title will be returning to familiar territory
Let's take a look at the latest outright winner odds.
Best Bundesliga outright winner odds
Bayern Munich – 1/100
Bayern Munich’s odds to reclaim the title are now as short as 1/100. Vincent Kompany’s side kept their eight-point lead at the top of the table intact by claiming an impressive 3-1 win away at Stuttgart on Friday night.
With just 12 games remaining, it would now take an unexpected collapse from Bayern in their pursuit of what would be a 12th German top-flight crown in 13 years. With two of the Bavarian’s next four league games at home, there is plenty of scope for them to strengthen their position at the summit of the standings.
Bayer Leverkusen – 22/1
Defending Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen have drifted out to 22/1 in their quest for back-to-back titles. Xabi Alonso's side's title momentum has been dented after drawing three of their last five games. Leverkusen remain eight points behind Bayern Munich despite their thumping 4-1 away at Frankfurt on Saturday.
With Leverkusen’s title hopes now fading, they could put all of their eggs in one basket and focus on the Champions League.
Best Bayer Leverkusen odds to win the Bundesliga without Bayern: 1/50
Eintracht Frankfurt 600/1
The bookmakers don’t consider Frankfurt a title contender, as evidenced by their lofty odds of 600/1. Securing a top-four finish and Champions League qualification will be the priority for Dino Toppmoller’s team. The bookmakers' odds suggest they will do just that, with Frankfurt as short as 4/11 to bag a top-four berth.
That being said, the Eagles will now be looking nervously over their shoulder after their aforementioned heavy 4-1 defeat at home to Leverkusen last time out.
Best Eintracht Frankfurt Odds Without Bayern Munich: 50/1
RB Leipzig – 800/1
The early season form which saw RB Leipzig briefly challenge at the top of the Bundesliga now seems like a distant memory. The Red Bulls are now facing a fiercely competitive battle to finish inside the top four.
Marco Rose’ men dropped down to sixth place in the table after slumping to a 2-1 defeat at home to Mainz on Saturday. If Leipzig are to make a quickfire return to Europe’s premier club competition, their Bundesliga away form will almost certainly have to improve between now and the end of the season.
Best RB Leipzig odds to win the Bundesliga without Bayern: 250/1
Who will win the Bundesliga? Here’s our prediction
With Bayern Munich in the box seat and unbackable in the battle to win the Bundesliga, instead look to Mainz to finish in the top four at 9/4.
Bo Henriksen’s side have moved into the top four thanks to three successive wins, winning 2-1 away at RB Leipzig on Saturday. If the 05ers can come through their up and coming games with Borussia Dortmund and Freiburg unscathed, the aforementioned 9/4 price is likely to shorten.
