Is Bayern Munich really that good? Currently, the football club has the best odds to win the UEFA League and is undefeated with a 3-0 record. Their odds sit at 11/4 with Manchester United right behind as the No. 1 contender. Bayern has a pretty impressive resume in 2020, which makes the team a favorite to win another championship.
Looking forward to the future, Bayern has the opportunity to become the second team to ever win the Champions League in the sport’s history. Only one other team has accomplished that feat. Real Madrid won the cup three consecutive years from 2016 to 2018. Some believe that the German champion was not the best team to win last year, but none of that matters. Bayern has the chance to accomplish history.
Can’t Stop Winning
The most eye-popping stat is that the team won 23 straight matches. The win streak began back in February against Cologne and ended at the end of September against Hoffenheim. However, Bayern rebounded with an 8-2 beatdown over Barcelone of the Champions League quarter finals. Bayern has been one of the best sports betting teams to cover, scoring a league-leading 27 goals in seven matches, and only got better in the offseason.
Thanks to bringing in Leroy Sane from Manchester United and Marc Roca, the team is one of the stronger football clubs in the world. There is no reason to believe that Bayern can’t hang with any team on the field with their offensive firepower. The second-most goals come from RB Leipzig and Dortmund with 15 each. That is an astounding difference.
The Competition
Manchester United is ready to avenge last year’s quarter-final exit. The team has endured plenty of criticism for not being able to get over the hump. However, the team owns one of the best rosters in the league. Adding Ruben Dias and Nathan Ake will solidify the defense. Carrying the mental baggage of coming up short has to be a key motivator, so look out for Manchester United.
Nobody can count out Real Madrid. The three-time champions have one of the best coaches in the league with Zidane. Also, the team still has some of the best veterans in the game in Serio Ramos, Karim Benzema, Luka Modric, and Toni Kroos. The latter in Kroos has even called Bayern the best team in the world.
Can It Be Done?
History shows that repeating as a champion is not likely, but it’s not completely out of the realm. Bayern is not considered a dynasty in terms of the soccer world. Their 2020 title was their first major title since winning in 2013. If Bayern can repeat, this would be not just a historical moment for soccer, but their franchise as well.
Given the roster, schedule, and returning hype that this team has, making a bet on the team repeating is not the craziest play in the world. With the given odds, this would be the time to make a bet because Bayern could potentially win another Champions League.
