Our BT4Y’s outright predictions season moves forward as we turn our focus to Germany’s impending Bundesliga season.
Borussia Dortmund nearly prevented Bayern Munich from securing their 11th consecutive Bundesliga crown last season, but their efforts were hindered by goal difference. Their chances this year might be dampened following the departure of their standout midfielder, Jude Bellingham, to Real Madrid.
With the reigning champions augmenting their squad even further with the arrival of Harry Kane, they’re the apparent front-runners to clinch the title once more. Our analyst has looked at the betting options to identify the best lucrative betting opportunities in the Bundesliga outright market.

Bundesliga 2023: The Titans, the Challengers, and the Dark Horses
Key Stats
– Leipzig’s New Gun: Benjamin Sesko scored 16 in 30 games last season, matching Bundesliga’s top scorers.
– Leverkusen’s Surge: Achieved the fourth-best league record post Xabi Alonso’s mid-season arrival.
The battle for Bundesliga dominance heats up as teams prepare to hit the ground running, with a string of player movements and managerial tactics set to shape the 2023 season. In this analysis, we’ll dive deep into the most promising prospects and potential underdogs as they take on the reigning champions.
Bayern Munich: The Colossus to Topple
From Dortmund to Munich: Bayern Munich, after a nail-biting finish last season, made no qualms about strengthening their squad. By signing Raphael Guerreiro from their closest competitors, Borussia Dortmund, and Konrad Laimer from RB Leipzig, they’ve set a powerful message.
The inclusion of Kim Min-jae, the linchpin of Napoli’s Serie A-winning defence, only cements their ambition further. Add to this the latest acquisition of Harry Kane, and the side looks practically unbeatable. One could argue that such a star-studded lineup might face challenges in terms of coordination, but with a manager like Thomas Tuchel at the helm, cohesion is likely to be the least of worries.
However, their recent Super Cup performance against RB Leipzig, where they were trounced 3-0, shows potential chinks in their armour. Tuchel’s stark criticism of the team’s performance indicates that Bayern’s pre-season hasn’t been ideal. The addition of Harry Kane, whose transfer was a record-breaking sum, aims to address their conversion rate upfront, a challenge they’ve faced since Lewandowski’s departure.
Betting Odds and Predictions: At 1.33 (1/3), Bayern Munich’s dominance in the Bundesliga isn’t just historical data—it’s a probable prediction. Yet, considering the volatility of football, placing a large bet on them might not yield lucrative returns.
Teams to Watch: Dortmund, Leipzig, and Leverkusen
Dortmund’s Dilemma: Last season’s title chase saw Dortmund coming extremely close. Their heartbreaking performance against Mainz, where they conceded two early goals, underscores the challenge they face this season, especially with the exit of Jude Bellingham to Real Madrid. They’re priced at 6.00 (5/1) currently, and while they’ve historically been the primary challengers to Bayern’s throne, this season might be an uphill battle.
Leipzig’s Reinvention: Leipzig’s transformation under Marco Rose is fascinating. After seeing key players like Nkunku, Szoboszlai, and Gvardiol transfer to the Premier League, their prompt replacements are noteworthy. The standout being Slovenian forward Benjamin Sesko, who has displayed his prowess at Red Bull Salzburg with a tally that rivals Bundesliga’s top scorers. With odds of 8.00 (7/1), they are dark horses to challenge for the title, especially given their solid performance against Bayern in recent times, and might be well-worth a small bet which could return a great profit if things will go well for them.
Leverkusen’s New Dawn: Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen, priced at 51.00 (50/1), has seen notable improvements, finishing last season with the fourth-best record post his arrival. The loss of Moussa Diaby to Aston Villa might hurt them, but Alonso’s managerial acumen could be their wildcard.
Predictions
1. Bundesliga Title Winner: Despite their almost intimidating lineup, Bayern’s recent performance hiccups and the short odds make them a safe but a poor value bet. An ambitious punt would be RB Leipzig. Their rebuilding, combined with a strong end to the last season, makes them a potential contender to disrupt Bayern’s streak.

2. Top Four Finish: While Bayern, Dortmund, and Leipzig are obvious contenders for the top 4, the fourth spot is up for grabs. Based on last season’s performance and managerial promise, Bayer Leverkusen, at 4/5, is our prediction to secure a top-four finish.
