Bovada Bundesliga Relegation
18 teams contest the Bundesliga and while each club would love to be crowned the champions, they don’t all share the same lofty ambitions as Bayern Munich. There can only be one winner but up to three teams can be relegated from German football’s top tier and into the Bundesliga 2. For some teams, simply surviving in the Bundesliga is an achievement in itself.
The teams in the bottom two positions of the table after playing 34 games are automatically relegated. The team who finishes third from bottom (in 16th place) have to face a playoff against the side who finish third in the Bundesliga 2. These playoffs are two-legged affairs with each team playing one game at home and one away. The winning side on aggregate is given a spot in the top flight for the following season. It’s worth noting that Bundesliga teams don’t always have the best of these playoffs as the lower ranked side can often make the most of their stronger form going into the crucial matches.
