Bundesliga Odds: Bayern Munich Betting Favorite to Repeat as German Champions

To say Bayern Munich was the class of the Bundesliga last season would be an understatement.They suffered just two losses all season and were 19 points clear of second-place finisher Borussia Dortmund.Bayern is loaded all over the pitch and have one of the best goalies in the world in Manuel Neuer, who won the Golden Glove at the World Cup. Bayern Munich is at 1-6 to win the Bundesliga title with Borussia Dortmund at 6-1, according to soccer betting shops monitored by Odds Shark.All of the other squads are long shots in terms of betting odds with Schalke 04 and Bayer Leverkusen the nearest challengers, both at 33-1.Germany won the World Cup, and many of the players on the squad play for Bayern including Neuer, Philipp Lahm and Bastian Schweinsteiger. Also with Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben, who also had a good World Cup despite his flopping antics, Bayern has a ton of world-class talent. It would be a major surprise if they did not win the league title.Even the summer transfer of Mario Mandzukic to Atletico Madrid wont knock them down a peg on the league betting ladder. Borussia Dortmund lost Robert Lewandowski to Bayern Munich, but they still have a good squad that finished second last season. However, they have not made any big moves to improve their squad, which is why they dont have great odds.They finished far behind Bayern last season but did beat them 4-2 in the German Super Cup.Schalke 04 is obviously a long shot at 33-1, but they have a good attack with the likes of Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, Julian Draxler and newcomer Christian Clemens. They finished third last season in the league and have to avoid the poor start that hurt their title chances last season.Bayer Leverkusen (33-1) finished fourth in league play last season, and they let a few players go on loans. However, they have not made any moves of note in the off-season and must improve their road record, as they recorded seven losses last season.Here are the odds to win the Bundesliga per Odds Shark as of July 28.Bayern Munich 1-6Borussia Dortmund 6-1Schalke 04 33-1Bayer Leverkusen 33-1VfL Wolfsburg 50-1Monchengladbach 200-1Hoffenheim 250-1Mainz 05 500-1VfB Stuttgart 500-1Hamburg 500-1Hannover 96 1000-1Augsburg 1000-1FC Koln 1000-1Werden Bremen 1000-1Freiburg 1500-1Hertha Berlin 1500-1Eintracht Frankfurt 1500-1Paderborn 2500-1Read more World Football news on BleacherReport.com
