From 2013 through 2023, Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga every season. The Bavarians are the marquee franchise of the Bundesliga. Bayern Munich would compare with the New York Yankees as far as soccer betting odds branding. However, in the 2023-24 season, it was Bayer Leverkusen who took the crown. It was the first Bundesliga crown in the history of Bayer Leverkusen. But Bayern Munich has built up significant trust and credibility with the gambling public. Hence, the Bavarians are the future market favorite to rebound with a championship in 2024-25.

2024-25 Bundesliga Overview
For too long, Germany’s top pro league has been top-heavy. Of course, Munich has been the flagship sports betting franchise. Every once in a while, there would be a meek challenge from a few other clubs, such as Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen.
At the beginning of future odds action, there were only two serious contenders in the eyes of gamblers with two moderate long shots. The betting odds are indicative of a top-heavy league with little in the way of parity.
Bayern Munich -200
As mentioned earlier, Bayern Munich is the marquee franchise in the Bundesliga. The Bavarians have 33 Bundesliga championships and eight UEFA Champions League titles. Also, Bayern Munich owns two FIFA Club World Cup championships.
Despite such consistent dominance with the Soccer lines, Bayern Munich has gone through a revolving door with its coaches. Since 2007, there have been 15 coaches for the Bavarians. The latest coach is Vincent Kompany, who arrives from Burnley in the English Premier League. What is stunning is that Kompany has a career win percentage of .432. So why did the greatest franchise in German football history and one of the world’s best clubs hire a man who just had his EPL team relegated?
Certainly, Kompany arrives without the credentials expected of a Bayern Munich coach. What is forgotten is that Bayern Munich was unable to attract other better-known candidates. The Bavarians’ habit of firing coaches continuously has become a problem for prospective candidates who otherwise would love the opportunity to lead a powerhouse.
First among Munich stars is the marquee man Harry Kane. Of course, Kane is best known as the star of the English national team for the World Cup. In the English Premier League, Kane scored 213 goals in 317 apps. So far as a member of Bayern Munich, Kane has 36 goals in 32 apps. For Team England, Kane has 64 goals in 94 apps.
Namely, Kane is in the running for being the best-known soccer player on Earth. Cause of his popularity and the powerhouse brand name of Bayern Munich, the Bavarians are the big betting favorite.
Bayer Leverkusen +275
Following runners-up finishes in 1997, 1999, 2000, 2002, and 2011, Bayer Leverkusen finally won the Bundesliga championship. Since October 5, 2022, head coach Xabi Alonso has been at the helm. His record is 61 wins, 19 draws, and 11 losses.
First among scorers for Bayer Leverkusen was Victor Boniface with 14 goals. He is a member of the Nigerian national team. Boniface is coming off his first season with Bayer Leverkusen.
