After 19 rounds of action in the Bundesliga, it’s looking increasingly likely that it will be a two horse race for the title.
Let's take a look at the latest outright winner odds.
Best Bundesliga outright winner odds
Bayern Munich – 1/10
Bayern Munich’s odds to reclaim the title have shortened to 1/10. Vincent Kompany’s side made it five Bundesliga wins on the bounce with a hard-fought 2-1 victory away at Freiburg at the weekend.
That triumph coupled with results elsewhere means the Bavarians now hold a six point lead at the top of the table. With three of Bayern’s next four league games at home, it’s easy to see why they are red-hot favourites to secure what would be a 12th German top-flight crown in 13 years.
Bayer Leverkusen – 9/1
Defending Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen have drifted out to 9/1 in their quest for back-to-back titles. Xabi Alonso's side saw their eight-game winning run in the Bundesliga come to an end when drawing 2-2 away at RB Leipzig last time out. That setback has left them six points behind pacesetters Bayern Munich.
Leverkusen’s title hopes could now rest on the outcome of their battle with the Bavarians in mid-February.
Best Bayer Leverkusen odds to win the Bundesliga without Bayern Munich: 1/16
Eintracht Frankfurt 200/1
After falling further behind Bayern Munich at the weekend, Frankfurt are now a whopping 200/1 shot for a shock title triumph. The Eagles came flying out of the traps after the winter break with three straight victories before being held to a 2-2 draw at Hoffenheim on Saturday.
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 2/7 to bag a top four berth.
Best Eintracht Frankfurt Odds Without Bayern Munich: 14/1
RB Leipzig – 250/1
The early season form which saw RB Leipzig briefly challenge at the top of the Bundesliga now seems like a distant memory. The fifth-placed Red Bulls are now facing a fiercely competitive battle to finish inside the top four. However, their early exit from Europe this season could prove a blessing in disguise in their bid to return to the Champions League. If Marco Rose’s men are to make a quickfire return to Europe’s premier club competition, their Bundesliga away form will have to improve between now and the end of the season.
Best RB Leipzig odds to win the Bundesliga without Bayern Munich: 80/1
Who will win the Bundesliga? Here’s our prediction
With Bayern Munich in the box seat and unbackable at the odds on offer in the battle to win the Bundesliga, instead look to RB Leipzig to finish in the top four at 6/4. The Red Bulls will bow out of Europe this week and will likely put all of their eggs in a Bundesliga top four shaped basket. Leipzig have a relatively soft schedule on paper during the month of February, so now could be the time to pull the trigger on Rose’s team for a top four berth.
