Most Popular Football Tournaments & Leagues
From the bright lights of the Premier League to the rugged grounds of Argentina’s Primera División, you have the option of over 100 different tournaments to bet on. Here is a rundown of some of the most popular.
Premier League
The Premier League is the pinnacle of men’s football in England and home to the wealthiest clubs and best players. Throughout the action-packed 38-game season, you can bet on various markets that include which club will win the title, or who will finish Top 4. As well as which teams will qualify for European competitions, including the Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League, and which teams will face relegation to the Championship.
Championship
The Championship is the second tier of English football and one of the most unpredictable leagues in the world. With 24 teams in the mix, you can bet on the race for the title, the battle for promotion to the Premier League, as well as who might face relegation to League One at the end of the 46-game season.
Champions League
The Champions League sees the best 36 teams in Europe compete for the honour of being crowned the best team on the continent. Here, you can view multiple markets across both Outright and individual matches. Popular Outright markets include tournament winner, and top goal scorer.
FIFA World Cup
The FIFA World Cup takes place every four years and will now see 48 teams compete for the ultimate international honour. Some of the the most popular markets include outright winner, group stage winners and Golden Boot (Top Scorer).
In-Play Football Betting
In-play football betting allows you to place live football bets after a match has begun. In essence, the in-play market enables you to monitor the ebb and flow of a game before backing your hunch as you weigh up real-time analysis of the match so far. You can choose to bet on football in-play, either on this page, or by navigating to the specific in-play section.
How to Bet on Football
To give yourself the best chance of your football bet landing, it’s important to stay informed.
Consider the below aspects to provide yourself with the information you need to place a bet.
Team vs. Team Head-to-Head Record
Analysing the head-to-head record between two teams can provide invaluable insights into whether one team has historically outperformed the other.
Player & Team Form
Always consider the form of both players and teams before placing a bet as it can offer clues about how a match may unfold based on recent evidence.
The Influence of Referees
It’s essential to consider whether a particular referee has a reputation for being a disciplinarian or prefers to let the game flow. In short, the actions of a referee can influence the overall rhythm of the match and, ultimately, the outcome.
Contrasting Playing Styles
When assessing a match before betting, it’s always wise to pay close attention to contrasting playing styles. For instance, a team that likes to “park the bus” can frustrate a high-pressing side which might potentially lead to a match short of genuine chances and goals.
