German Handball Champion Betting: Who are the favorites?
Who are the favorites in the handball champion odds of the betting providers in Germany for the 2024/25 season?
SC Magdeburg is at the top of the HBL championship odds in the predictions of bookmakers and experts before the start of the season.
SC Magdeburg is the reigning champion of the HBL. Last season, Magdeburg won the title with a five-point lead.
SCM scored the most goals and conceded the fewest over the course of the season. Will this also be the case in the 2024/25 season?
What speaks in favor of Magdeburg in the handball champion betting: Manuel Zehnder was last season’s top scorer
HBL champion odds: The co-favorites
There are three strong challengers behind the current champions SC Magdeburg, all of whom can be expected to win the title.
Experts rate the Berlin Foxes as very strong this season. This is also reflected in the bookmakers’ German Handball Champion odds before the start of the season.
In the previous season, the Berlin team finished second behind Magdeburg. However, they defeated the SCM in the Supercup. A good omen for the title fight?
The two northern clubs – SG Flensburg and THW Kiel – are also among the favorites for handball champion bets in Germany.
Kiel were the German handball champions in 2023 and 2021, while Flensburg last lifted the championship trophy in 2019. What’s in their favor this season?
Kiel, who only finished fourth in the previous season, have brought in goalkeeping legend Andreas Wolff and set an example. But: The team is in a state of upheaval
The Danish power could speak for SG Flensburg, who finished third last season: A total of six players in the Flensburg squad come from Denmark, five of them were there in Paris and came back with Olympic gold.
According to the HLA champion odds, the other teams are given very little or basically no chance of winning the championship. Germany’s top 4 are likely to be too strong.
The German Handball Champion 2025 will probably come from the quartet of favorites Magdeburg, Füchse, Kiel and Flensburg.
Melsungen, Rhein-Neckar-Löwen, Hannover and Gummersbach will be fighting for the international places behind the title candidates and Champions League contenders – the German Handball Champions betting odds give these teams very slim chances of winning the title in advance

Tips for HLA champion bets What is important when betting on handball champions?
On the one hand: The German Handball League (HLA) season lasts 34 match days – just like the Bundesliga. There is a first and second round. This means that all 18 teams play each other twice. Once at home, once away.
The density in the German handball league is much closer at the top than in soccer with Bayern Munich. The list of German handball champions shows that there have been four different champions since 2016.
Handball champion bets are therefore a slightly higher risk than the Bayern champion bet in soccer. However, the German handball champion odds are also slightly higher.
As the championship odds are offered throughout the entire season, you can wait a little longer to bet on the HLA champions – even until shortly before the end of the season if in doubt
