The Bundesliga in 2022-23 is proving to be one of the tightest yet with a number of teams battling it out to take the number one spot away from last season’s winners Bayern Munich.
After a number of years of Bayern dominance, this season’s Bundesliga is breaking the trend as Borussia Dortmund, Union Berlin, Freiburg and RB Leipzig all fight it out over the final matches of the season.
Over its history, some of the greatest players to have ever played soccer have graced the field during Bundesliga matches. One such player was Gerd Müller – a striker who scored 365 goals throughout his 13-year career with Bayern Munich. In doing so, he became not only one of the all-time top scorers in Bundesliga history but also Europe’s record holder for goals scored with any club team in any competition. Other notable top scorers include Klaus Fischer (268 goals) and Jupp Heynckes (220 goals).
As far as successful teams are concerned, it doesn’t get much better than Bayern and Dortmund when it comes to Bundesliga success over its history. With 28 German Championship titles between them, these two clubs have been dominant forces within the league since its inception and remain today true contenders for the championship title each season.
Additionally, other teams such as Hamburger SV and Werder Bremen have also made their mark on Bundesliga history by winning several titles over their respective histories as well.
Some of the greatest games within Bundesliga history were those that pitted Bayern against FC Schalke 04, also known as ‘Der Klassiker’. This fierce rivalry dates back more than 60 years and has seen countless epic battles between teams who both vie for dominance each season they meet on the pitch. In total, 80 games have been played out between these two sides which have resulted in 30 wins for Bayern Munich and 24 draws while Schalke 04 has won 26 matches dating back to 1950s.
In the exciting world of German professional football, positions matter. The top two teams get promoted to the Bundesliga while unfortunately, it’s all downhill for 17th and 18th placed clubs who are relegated down into 2nd division play.
An added element of drama occurs when 16th place in Germany’s first tier league must compete against 3rd place from its second tier counterpart over a series of matches; with only one victor gaining promotion onto next season’s highest playing field.
With the sport science of the Premier League and decisive tactical play seen in Serie A, German football is an ideal ground for betting. Home to powerhouse teams like Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund plus boasting some of the world’s highest attendance figures, Bundesliga takes gambling to a whole new level.
