Borussia Dortmund to win the Bundesliga without Bayern Munich
Normal service resumed in the Bundesliga last season as Bayern Munich won the title by 13 points from Bayer Leverkusen, a year after Xabi Alonso’s side had shocked Europe and lifted the crown themselves.
However, there has been plenty of change for Leverkusen over the summer, with Alonso and star man Florian Wirtz both departing and Erik Ten Hag taking over at the club.
Bayern Munich have splashed the cash on Luis Diaz after Kingsley Coman’s departure but they are set to be without Jamal Musiala for a considerable spell after he suffered a broken leg at the Club World Cup.
Here we pick out the best bets in what should be a fascinating campaign.

BVB on the up
Leverkusen have been the team to run Bayern close in recent seasons but they are worth taking on this season after a summer of upheaval.
The departure of manager Alonso has been enough to deal with but there has been a real exodus of players over the close season.
Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Granit Xhaka, Lukas Hradecky, Jonathan Tah and Odilon Kossounou have all departed and any team experiencing that amount of change is hard to have faith in.
Dortmund finished like a train last season, winning seven of their last eight league games to sneak fourth.
BVB have broadly retained their squad from last season, added Jobe Bellingham, and look set for a big run behind Bayern Munich.
The Bavarians may end up having too much quality in the end, so backing Dortmund to win the Bundesliga without Bayern is the bet.

Leipzig fancied for solid campaign
RB Leipzig had a poor campaign last time around, missing out on European football altogether, but that could play into their hands under new boss Ole Werner.
The new head coach had Werder Bremen punching well above their weight and while he has suffered the loss of Benjamin Sesko, Yan Diomande and Johan Bakayoko are exciting additions.
With some teams forecast to go backwards this term, Leipzig could pick up the pieces and are fancied for a top-four finish.

Burkardt overpriced to be top scorer
Harry Kane was the Bundesliga top scorer with 26 goals last season but the exciting striker Jonathan Burkardt was not far behind him with 18 and his summer transfer to Eintracht Frankfurt makes him a big runner.
The Germany international has left Mainz to join the Eagles and they have shown in recent years their attacking style of play can bring out the best in forwards, with Hugo Ekitike and Omar Marmoush previously on the books.
