Bundesliga Betting Previews: Best Bets
Borussia Dortmund vs Mainz
Asian Handicap - Borussia Dortmund (-2.5)
It’s simple for Dortmund. Win and they’re champions.
Bayern’s dominance at the top of Bundesliga could be broken this weekend, and Dortmund have the benefit of facing a mid-table Mainz, who have lost four in a row.
BVB are football betting favourites. They have been dominant at home, winning 11 in a row. Mainz haven’t won in their last three road matches, and have lost four in a row to Dortmund.
With Mainz clearly switched off and with nothing to play for, we like Dortmund’s chances of securing a ninth Bundesliga title in style. Back the hosts -2.5 at Evens.
Koln vs Bayern Munich
Total Goals Over/Under - Under (2.5)
Defeat to Leipzig last time out took the title race out of Bayern’s hands. Thomas Tuchel’s team must win and hope Dortmund drop points.
With four defeats in their last seven away matches across all competitions, a victory at Koln is far from a foregone conclusion.
Yes, the hosts are massive Bundesliga betting underdogs, but they have only lost once in their last eight fixtures. They also battled for a draw at the Allianz Arena earlier this term and recently got a result against Bayer Leverkusen.
We can see Koln at least making this difficult. They have seen under 2.5 land more frequently than any other Bundesliga club. It’s a good bet at a lengthy price of 11/4.
Union Berlin vs Werder Bremen
Both Teams to Score - Yes
The only unbeaten team at home this season, Union Berlin are heavy odds-on sports betting favourites for the visit of Werder Bremen.
Union know a win will see them qualify for the Champions League, but if they drop points, they will be very vulnerable with Freiburg facing out-of-form Eintracht Frankfurt.
Werder Bremen have claimed one of the last 12 available points. The visitors have one win from their last 11 league matches, yet have secured their Bundesliga status for next season and have nothing to play for here.
Bremen have scored plenty of goals, and have often been on the wrong side of a result with both teams to score. BTTS is the pick here are 10/11.
Bundesliga Predictions 2022/23
It would be foolish to look past BAYERN MUNICH in the Bundesliga title race this season. Despite a change in management, Bayern are the dominant force in German football and another Bundesliga success looks likely.
In fact, you'd go as far as to state that anything other than a Bayern title triumph would go down as the shock of the campaign. While the likes of RB Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund and VfL Wolfsburg are decent outfits, the Bavarians are a class above.
Bundesliga Top Scorer Prediction
The Bundesliga top scorer award was almost ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI's to lose in years gone by but the Poland international joined Barcelona earlier this summer.
With goal-scoring rival Erling Haaland also leaving Germany's top flight for pastures new, there is an opportunity for someone else to step up and take the coveted Bundesliga top scorer award.
The Bundesliga goal scorer odds are likely to be tougher to predict this season but an exciting 2022/23 campaign awaits. Bet on German football today with 888sport and best of luck with your predictions!
Betting Tips 1x2
The 59th edition of the Bundesliga promises to be as captivating as ever and kicks off on August 13th, running right through to mid-May 2022. 1x2 betting tips this week can be found here throughout the season...
Bayern Munich start as strong football betting favourites and how can they not when they last finished outside of the top two all the way back in 2007.
In Robert Lewandowski, the Bavarian giants possess a striker who breaks goal-scoring records for fun and last season, he became the first player to score 40+ goals in the German top-flight since Gerd Muller in 1972.
At the back, a defence that played a big part in Bayern losing just four games in 2020/21 has been further strengthened by the arrival of Dayot Upamecano from their closest rivals RB Leipzig but of most interest is the change in the technical area, with Julian Nagelsmann also making the switch from last term’s runners-up.
Might the highly-rated young coach need time to implement his ideas at the Allianz Arena? Given Bayern’s formidable squad that may represent the best hope for the chasing pack.
Yet still, the nine-time consecutive champions face more robust competition this time out than last.
Borussia Dortmund will be looking to improve on last season’s problematic campaign that needed a late run of victories to secure third.
New coach Marco Rose inherits an immensely talented group and he will surely demand the attacking, dynamic football he is known for. Key to this aim will be retaining the services of Erling Haaland, the only forward who can come close to matching Lewandowski.
Leipzig meanwhile aspire to finally dethrone Bayern and already incoming coach Jesse Marsch has made some intriguing signings.
If the over-riding narrative of the 2021/22 Bundesliga season is that the league’s three leading clubs all have new men at the helm the league also has an unfamiliar look elsewhere.
Greuther Furth and Vfl Bochum are promoted, the latter as champions, and they replace Bundesliga stalwarts Schalke and Werder Bremen who together have been fixtures of the top-flight since 1990. It will be strange without them.
All told, 18 teams compete across 34 rounds of fixtures with a normal winter break planned after a one-off shortened hiatus last year due to Covid.
It will be fun, fiercely cutthroat and hopefully unpredictable too, and along every step of the journey stay with 888sport for the best weekly betting updates and advice from our German football experts.

Bundesliga Outright Predictions
When trying to nail down an outright winner for the forthcoming season it is difficult to look past the mighty Bayern, especially as they have strengthened over the summer at the expense of their direct rivals.
The luring of Nagelsmann to Bavaria is a significant coup and should the much-vaunted coach quickly settle on a preferred starting eleven and formation we can expect a smooth transition from Hansi Flick’s brief but very successful period in charge.
This is likely as Nagelsmann is not known for his heavy rotation or any change for the mere sake of it.
A swift readjustment is important because first up is an away trip to Monchengladbach, who have realistic ambitions to replicate their fourth-place finish two years ago and then in early September they travel to Leipzig who are intent on depriving Die Roten of a tenth straight title.
Dortmund will also feature prominently at or near the top while Bayer Leverkusen are dark horses to secure Champions League qualification.
Top Bundesliga Betting Teams
Few leagues have historically been so dominated by a single entity as the Bundesliga. If you follow 1x2 betting predictions for this week, you'll know Bayern are clear of their rivals.
In just shy of 60 years of existence in its current format the German top division has been claimed 30 times by Bayern and what is striking is that the monopoly is only escalating.
Prior to an astonishing nine-year winning streak they are looking to build on this term, Bayern managed to string together three consecutive titles across three different eras (the 1970s, 80s, and turn of this century).
Yet each time the Bavarians were reined in by rivals such as Hamburger SV, Kaiserslautern, and Dortmund. Can any side reach the consistently towering levels needed to topple them again? That remains to be seen.
