Bundesliga title odds: Bayer Leverkusen underline favourites tag as unbeaten streak continues

Goals from Florian Wirtz, Adam Hlozek and Patrik Schick helped Xabi Alonso’s side to a record-breaking 22nd league win.

Bayer have never won as many games in a single Bundesliga season and the team are well on course for their first ever league title.

Leverkusen are currently priced at 1/33 to lift the Meisterschale at the end of the season.

The club finished runners-up in the competition five times over the last 27 years as getting over the line has always proved a step too far.

Their greatest heartbreak came in the summer of 2002 when Leverkusen lost two of their final three league matches – a run which saw them lose the title to Borussia Dortmund in the final two weeks of the season.

That year, Bayer also lost the DFB Pokal and Champions League finals in one of the most disappointing conclusions to a season ever witnessed.

Alonso’s men don’t seem to be paying any attention to history as the club continues to power towards the championship.

Bayern Munich, who remain their only realistic title challengers, are 10 points adrift with just eight matches to go.

The defending title holders are priced at 9/1 to snap the trophy away from Leverkusen.

The Bavarians face a tricky match after the international break as they host an in-form Borussia Dortmund side in Der Klassiker.

Leverkusen, on the other hand, will return to action with a home clash against Hoffenheim.
