For men's handball, in Europe, the best professional leagues are the German Handball Bundesliga (HBL), the French Starligue and the Spanish Liga Asobal. Place your bets on Liga Asobal. Based on their combined dominance of the intra-European Champions League competition, few would attempt to dispute their superiority over other European national leagues.

Betting on the Bundesliga of handball

The dominance of THW Kiel — a team from northern Germany and geographically close to Denmark, has prevailed since 2004. Rare are the seasons when Kiel has not won a trophy. In fact, Kiel has won about two-thirds of the championship titles in the last two decades.

The season runs from September to June in two-legged matches for all eighteen teams. Bundesliga matches are traditionally played on Thursday evenings and Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

There is no playoff at the end of the season, and the champions are the ones with the most wins. Goal difference comes into play in case of a tie.

The top two teams in the league play in the next season in the Champions League, and the third and fourth teams play in the EHF European Cup. Make bets on the European Handball Cup on our online sports betting platform.

The last two teams are relegated to the 2—Bundesliga handball.

Since 2009, the prestigious Handball Champions League's four-team finals have always been held in Cologne. This is an advantage for the German players since they are likely to benefit from the support of the local fans in decisive matches. Place your bets on the Handball Champions League.

By nations, Germany is the most successful country in the Champions League with 20 wins, ahead of Spain. Other countries are far from getting anywhere near this record since no other nation has won more than four Champions League victories.

The best teams worldwide from all five continents compete in the Handball Club World Cup, and there has always been a German team in the final since 2015.

Recommended bets in the Bundesliga handball

The sheer competitiveness of the German league makes the Bundesliga different. New teams rise to the top of the league, while others disappear in the middle of the table every year, keeping the tournament wide open and unpredictable throughout the season.

The average number of goals in the Bundesliga has been 54.3 to 55.29 per game for the past few seasons.

A recommended bet on Bundesliga handball is to bet on the total number of goals in a match. Betting on/under several goals scored is the second most common type of betting in handball after betting on the point spread.
