Last season
Bayern Munich won the 2025-26 Bundesliga with 89 points from 34 games: 28 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss. They scored 122 goals.
Dortmund finished second on 73 points, 16 behind. After four games of the new season, they are the ones on top.
How Bundesliga betting works here
The main market is the three-way moneyline: home win, draw or away win, settled on the score after 90 minutes plus stoppage time. A bet on either team loses when the game is level. Schalke 04 and SV Elversberg drew 0-0 on 20 September, and only the draw paid.
The Asian handicap takes the draw away. At -1.5 they must win by two or more; at -1 a one-goal win refunds your stake; at a quarter line such as -0.75, half the stake rides on -0.5 and half on -1.
The total is the number of goals both teams score, and you bet over or under a line such as 2.5. The first 36 games this season produced 137 goals, 3.8 a game. Mainz’s 4-3 win at Borussia Mönchengladbach on 19 September went over any line up to 6.5.
