Few of the European top leagues are more even than the Bundesliga. Granted, the dominance of Bayern Munich and, lately, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig, make German football look like it’s a forgone conclusion. However, if you want a glimpse into how competitive and level the Bundesliga is, you only have to check out the league below it, the 2. Bundesliga, to see how many big teams have dropped out of the German top tier and are now desperately fighting to get back. Yes, the 2. Bundesliga is a place where fallen giants such as Hamburger SV, Hannover 96 and Nürnberg slug it out week in and week out, while smaller teams like Bochum, Osnabrück, Greuther Fürth and Holstein Kiel will provide plenty of fight and upsets throughout the season. The openness of German football even means that outsiders can outplay the favourites and go straight for promotion, such as SC Paderborn, Darmstadt, Energie Cottbus and, most recently, Arminia Bielefeld have done. Similarly, former Bundesliga teams, including Karlsruhe, Kaiserslautern and Hansa Rostock, have faced the ignominy of falling straight through the 2. Bundesliga and into the 3. Liga. With such an open league comes amazing odds and, at bwin, you can find good betting options on both individual matches as well as the outright winner of the league, throughout the 2020/21 season.

Bundesliga, you can find matching winner odds on bwin, as well as get match odds on every game during the season.
