Is Harry Kane Set to End His Trophy Drought at Bayern Munich?

Harry Kane’s move to Bayern Munich in the summer of 2023 was seen as his best chance to finally secure a major trophy. While the Bavarian giants are strong contenders in the Bundesliga, questions linger about whether this could be the year Kane finally ends his silverware drought—and perhaps even lifts the Champions League trophy at the Allianz Arena.

A Rocky Start but Bundesliga Glory in Sight

Bayern’s recent exit from the DFB-Pokal after a 1-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen was a disappointment, especially as Kane missed the match due to injury. Critics were quick to draw comparisons to Tottenham’s infamous inability to secure trophies, with some accusing the England captain of bringing a “Spursy” vibe to Munich.

Despite the setback, Bayern remain firmly on course to claim their 34th Bundesliga title. Kane has been in phenomenal form, scoring 14 goals in 12 appearances and smashing records along the way. With Bayern currently six points clear at the top and a commanding 95.9% chance of winning the league, the Bundesliga trophy seems destined for Kane’s hands.

Champions League Dreams Still Alive

Kane’s Champions League ambitions remain intact, and Bayern’s odds of winning Europe’s elite competition stand at a respectable 9.7%. Their current 13th place in the new 36-team format is somewhat misleading, as they have a 60.1% likelihood of finishing in the top eight, avoiding the play-offs.

Intriguingly, the 2024 Champions League final will be held at Bayern’s home ground, the Allianz Arena, a potential advantage. The last team to host the final at their own stadium was also Bayern in 2012, although that campaign ended in heartbreak.

With Kane leading the line and Bayern’s domestic dominance providing opportunities for squad rotation, the Bavarians are still an enticing prospect for bettors. Their odds of 4.5 for Champions League glory reflect their pedigree and Kane’s influence on the pitch.

Should You Back Kane to Lift Trophies?

As Kane recovers from his thigh injury, he’s set to return against RB Leipzig on December 20. This sets the stage for a strong finish to the season, with Bayern vying for domestic and European glory. Whether you’re backing Kane to claim his first major silverware in the Bundesliga or taking a punt on the Champions League, the odds look favourable for the England striker to finally end his trophy drought.
