German Super Cup Odds and Betting Lines

Believe it or not, the German Super Cup, as we know it, was founded in 2010. Prior to that, the match between the Bundesliga champions and the DFB Pokal winners was played intermittently and under other names such as DFB-Ligapokal and T-Home Super Cup.

No other team has won more German Super Cup titles than Bayern Munich with 10. In fact, since 2010, only Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have been able to win it. The Black and Yellows won it for the last time in 2019, while the Reds won the last three editions.

The Bundesliga winners always come in as the German Super Cup betting favorites. The reason is clear: including DFB-Ligapokal days, the Bundesliga champions have won the German Super Cup 15 times. On the other hand, the DFB Pokal winners have won it four times.

Individually, Robert Lewandowski is the tournament’s all-time top scorer with seven goals. He played for Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich. He’s followed by Thomas Muller, who still plays for Bayern Munich, with five.

How the Tournament Works

The German Super Cup is an annual match in which the Bundesliga champions and the DFB Pokal winners collide. If the same team wins both, the match is played between the Bundesliga champions and the Bundesliga runner-up.

Usually, the cup holders play as the host or the Bundesliga runner-up, but that’s not set in stone since the organization can change the venue at any time. If the match ends with a draw, there’s no extra time, the winner is decided by a penalty shootout.

The winner of the German Super Cup gets a trophy that stands 53 centimeters and it’s valued at 40,000 euros.

Since we’re talking about a one-match tournament, betting on the German Super Cup can be tricky. As if that wasn’t enough, the match is scheduled a week before the Bundesliga season begins. In other words, it’s the first official match of the season, which also means that the teams aren’t in their best form.

The next edition is scheduled for August 12. Bayern Munich will play as Bundesliga champions, while RB Leipzig will play as DFB Pokal winners. As expected, the Reds are in control of the German Super Cup odds, but again, a lot can change in a month and a half.

That’s why it’s also very important to keep track of the transfer window, injury reports, coaching staff changes, and the latest soccer news.

German Super Cup Betting Options: Odds, Handicaps, and Prop Bets

As mentioned before, the German Super Cup lines are already up, which means that you don’t have to wait until matchday to place a wager. At the time of writing, Bayern Munich is offering a -160 price, while RB Leipzig is +370. Wagering on the Red Bulls give you the chance of winning $370 for every $100 wagered.

You can also bet on the total, which is set at three goals with the over offering a -115 price. The total has gone over three goals in four of the last five editions of the German Super Cup.

Finally, we have the handicap and the outrights. The handicap is Bayern Munich -1 at +105. That basically means that the Reds must win by at least two goals. Why? Because if they win, for example, 2-1, that -1 would make it 1-1. You would lose the bet. Regarding the outrights, the Bundesliga champions are -325 to lift the cup. When it comes to outrights, the final score doesn’t matter.

Wait! We also have Prop Bets, which give you more opportunities to win. With Prop Bets you can pick what team is going to score first, which player will score at any time, and the total of yellow cards and corners, to name a few. Summing up, the possibilities are endless!
