- Elversberg and Paderborn in the relegation zone
- Several long-established clubs face the threat of relegation
- Bayern once again the clear favourites for the title
FC Schalke 04 are back in the Bundesliga – and the bookmakers’ predictions are likely to catch the attention of the Royal Blues’ fans: according to the latest Tipico league table forecast, the historic club will finish at least ahead of Elversberg and Paderborn. Analysts expect both teams to occupy the direct relegation places.
Above them, according to an analysis by the Tipico Sports Data Centre, an extremely exciting four-way battle is likely to unfold. Tipico analyst Benny Hupfer: “With Schalke, Hamburg, Bremen and Union Berlin, four historic clubs are all at a very similar level in the predictions. At present, we’re talking about minimal differences. Subtle factors are likely to decide which of these teams will end up in the relegation play-offs.” It’s by no means a certainty for S04 – but on the whole, the odds suggest that the Royal Blues will avoid relegation.
The situation is considerably more relaxed for 1. FC Köln and FC Augsburg. Both clubs are currently expected to finish safely in mid-table. Based on the data available today, a close battle against relegation would be rather surprising.
Bayern crowned champions early – a thrilling race for European places
Behind FC Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, several teams are likely to be locked in a thrilling race for the Champions League places. Bayer Leverkusen, RB Leipzig and VfB Stuttgart, in particular, have a good chance of qualifying for the Champions League.
However, the Tipico league table forecast currently predicts only fifth place for the Swabians, and thus qualification for the Europa League. Eintracht Frankfurt and TSG Hoffenheim are also considered to have promising chances of securing a place in European competition. Behind them, with some reservations, come SC Freiburg and FSV Mainz 05.
