Bayern Munich before BBL finals: Can they beat Ulm?
Tomorrow, Sunday, June 15, 2025, there will be a real highlight on the program in the Basketball Bundesliga. At 6:00 p.m. Bayern Munich will host SSV Ulm in the first game of the BBL finals. The signs are good for Bayern, who go into the game as clear favorites. Wettfreunde reports that the betting odds for Bayern to score 20 points first are 1.49. Not least because of the enthusiastic team under coach Gordon Herbert, who played at home in the Munich Arena.
Although Ulm won the title as surprise champions last year, Bayern Munich is seen as more stable. The conditions speak for Bayern, who have one of the most expensive and deepest squads in the league in the current 2024/25 season. Players like Vladimir Lučić and Carsen Edwards should provide important support for the defending champions.
The starting position of the league
The new BBL season began with a changed field of participants. Only 17 teams are taking part because the PS Karlsruhe Lions have not received a license. As Sportwetten24 reports, the teams play in home and away games, which makes a total of 34 match days. The top six teams qualify for the playoff quarterfinals, while places 7 to 10 play a pre-playoff round in best-of-three mode. From the quarterfinals onwards it will continue in best-of-five mode.
The odds for the championship are also clear: Bayern Munich remains the top favorite with 1.49, followed by Alba Berlin with 4.90. Surprise team Ulm already has a foothold in the playoff final with 14.0, while teams like MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg and EWE Baskets Oldenburg are at 16.0. Tipico adds that Bayern are also considered title favorites by the bookmakers in the playoffs, with odds of 1.20, while Ulm is listed at 4.50.
A look back at the past season
Last season was more than exciting, with Bayern as champions and the surprising Ulm triumphing in 2023. Over the last ten years, Bayern has been the dominant force in German basketball and has won four titles so far. The fans can look forward to the upcoming final, which is very important not only for the two teams, but also for the entire league.
In general, it remains to be seen whether Ulm can cause another surprise or whether Bayern, supported by the home fans, will have the upper hand. The weather entries have already been set and we can look forward to a thrilling game.
