Will Dortmund even slip from the top 4 this year? 2.65x multiplier to…
We are not even halfway through the season, but the fallback of the black and yellows is already huge and they may even miss the Champions League qualification.
The 2023/24 Bundesliga season continues this week, on Friday, January 12, with the match between Bayern Munich and Hoffenheim. Due to the European Championship due in the summer, the winter break in the German top flight is shorter than usual, but we can only be happy about that.
As is well known, in an unusual way, it was not the record champion Bayern, but the never-before-conquered Salad Bowl Leverkusen who took Christmas in first place, but it is at least as big a surprise that last year’s silver medalist Dortmund has already accumulated a huge deficit. Die Borussen are already 15 points behind Bayer, but they have drifted to six points behind Leipzig, who are in fourth place, after only 16 rounds. If the drop of points continues at this rate, the team will almost certainly slip out of the Champions League spots, now let’s see what the bookies have to say about this.
Did you know? The pride of Dortmund, 35-year-old Mats Hummels, is already in his 16th season in the Bundesliga and has scored a goal in every season so far, equaling the league record!
According to the bookmakers, now we can’t even bet on the top 4 places of Bayer and Bayern among the leaders, it seems so certain. It is much more interesting that the bookmakers take the Champions League place of Leipzig as cash (@1.06.). Even so, last year the Bulls secured their top 4 position with a relly strong finish run, and this year only two rental positions are expected to remain here.
It is interesting that Union Berlin, which sensationally finished in 4th place last year, has completely melted down this year, its UCL place would already bring a 1000-fold return!
One of the surprise teams of the season, Stuttgart, which has 17-goaler Guirassy, is also bidding for this (@1.19). If we look at it realistically, perhaps Dortmund’s only chance will be to outlast the Swabians in the final matchday. It can be a bit frustrating and sobering for the Wasps’ fans that their beloved team is not considered a contender for the championship gold, but not even for the top 4, since the bookies are slowly giving 3 times the money for this. Although they were only 90 minutes away from the trophy last May, things can change dramatically in the world of football in a few months…
