If you’re new to betting on Serie A, or you want to take your game to the next level, this guide is the perfect tool. Below, explain how to bet on Serie A, check out all the top markets and explain how the season works.

How to Bet on Serie A

Let’s kick things off by going over the most popular Serie A betting markets out there. All the best soccer sportsbooks will offer match betting, futures, live betting and props, with multiple markets falling into each category.

Betting on Serie A Matches

When it comes to wagering on Serie A, match betting is where most people start. Predicting the winner of a game is the simplest option here, but you can also make use of markets like both teams to score, over/under goals, correct score, double chance, scorecast and first goalscorer.

Serie A Futures Betting

If you want to wager on the winner of the Serie A title or an end-of-season award, futures betting is for you. Also referred to as outright betting, these markets allow you to place wagers at the beginning of the season and (hopefully!) land a tasty profit at the end of the campaign.

Live Serie A Betting

Live betting is another exciting way to gamble on Serie A. For example, you might come across a sportsbook that enables you to bet on the scorer of the next goal or the recipient of the next card while the game is taking place.

Serie A Props Betting

Prop bets allow you to wager on an outcome occurring or not occurring in a match or during the season. For instance, you could bet on a player to score a certain number of goals across the campaign, or you might wager on the total number of red cards handed out during the season.

How Does the Serie A Season Work?

Italy’s top-flight league contains 20 teams and uses a regular season-long format. Once each team has played every other side home and away, the team with the most points after 38 matches wins the title (scudetto).

At the opposite end of the table, there are three relegation spots. The bottom three teams at the end of each season are relegated to Serie B, while the top two teams and the playoff winner from Serie B are promoted to the top tier.

You can bet on both the title race and relegation battle, and you can also wager on the hunt for European soccer, with the top six teams at the end of the campaign qualifying for continental tournaments.
