Bundesliga Tips

DortmundStadium

Germany's premier league has gone through some rough years, but it has undergone a resurgence of late with its sustainable business models being considered a more responsible footballing blueprint than the wild-spending clubs of England and Spain.

Bayern Munich are the country's biggest club, but have only won the title in two of the last five seasons having done so six out of the previous eight.

The league is currently ranked as the third-strongest in Europe by UEFA, but it has the highest average attendance figures of any football league in the world. In fact, the only sports competition in the world with a higher average is America's NFL - proving that the popular Bundesliga is definitely getting something right.

Bundesliga Champions

The Bundesliga consists of 18 clubs. Fiftyone clubs have competed in the Bundesliga since its founding, with the most successful team being Bayern Munich, claiming 21 titles, while others clubs also claiming titles including Borussia Dortmund, Hamburger SV, Werder Bremen, Borussia Monchengladbach and VfB Stuttgart.
