Football is the world’s most popular sport, of that there is no doubt. There are currently over 3 billion fans enjoying football games around the globe, many of whom play the game for fun as well. However, those who don’t enjoy playing the game, enjoy wagering on it.

Football and Betting

Football has a loyal and dedicated betting audience. Estimates put the total amount of money bet on soccer at over 200 billion dollars, worldwide. The online sports betting market has significantly contributed to the popularity of sports betting, and especially football wagers.

For the unaware, online bookies are sites that cover notable sports events, and come out with fair and balanced odds. One of the most notable of these websites is Novibet, a bookie that is famous for its detailed coverage and pretty respectable bonuses.

With online sports betting, many football events have grown in popularity. Which begs the question, what are the most popular football leagues to bet on? In this article, we will answer that very question.

The English Premier League

If we focus on the seasonal leagues that take place every year, then we certainly can’t do a list like this without bringing up the English Premier League. The EPL is England’s top-tier football league, featuring some of the most popular sports clubs worldwide, including Manchester City and Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool.

Of course, it is the most popular sports competition in England, but what makes the EPL special is that it gets attention worldwide. When most people consider getting into football, they don’t look at their own local leagues, but rather turn on the English Premier League instead. Naturally, that means that there is a lot of money that goes into betting on the EPL. To be precise, over 60 billion Euros were wagered on the EPL in 2021/2022. Who knows how much that amount has grown since.

The Spanish La Liga

The Spanish League, known in Spain as the Campeonato Nacional de Liga de Prima, and better known as La Liga to the rest of the world, is the second most popular football league in the world. It is to be expected, as it is the stomping ground of Real Madrid, the club that currently holds the honor of being the most popular football club in the world. Real Madrid’s greatest rivals, Barcelona, are also a staple of the league, and its current champions.

Much like with the Premier League, La Liga attracts fans from all over the world. Which means it attracts bettors from all over the world. Going by the same statistical analysis done in 2022, estimates state that 42 billion Euros were spent on La Liga wagers during the 2021/22 season. Which places La Liga comfortably on the second spot on our list.

Honorable Mentions

The five major European football leagues are all incredibly popular betting events. We already discussed the EPL and the La Liga, but that doesn’t mean that Bundesliga, Serie A, Euro and Ligue 1 are any less popular. All of these leagues see upwards of tens of billions of Euros in wagers every year.

Catanzaro is 5th in the SB and has just lost a big option in the top 4 by taking only two points from its last three matches in the league including a heavy defeat on the pitch of Cesena 3-1 and two successive draws against Modena in a match with 3 red cards including 1 for Catanzaro 1-1 and during the previous day on the pitch of Avellino 1-1, with, once again, an expulsion for Catanzaro. Before this bad dynamic, Catanzaro had lost only one of its last 11 matches in SB for a total of 6 victories against Reggiana 2-0, on the lawn of Pescara 0-2, for the reception of Mantova 2-0, on the side of Entella 1-3, Empoli 3-2 and on the lawn of Padova 1-3. On the other side of the median, Modena has not taken off in recent weeks having won only 2 of its last 7 matches in the league, at home each time against Spezia 3-0 and Mantova 2-1, for a total of 3 defeats against Padova 1-2, on the lawn of Entella 2-1 and on the lawn of Bari 3-1.

In the wake of this defeat in Bari, the visiting team was held to the Südtirol pitch 1-1. More generally, Modena has won 5 of its last 13 matches, or not even one match in two.

Well installed in the soft underbelly of the ranking, Pau FC can approach these last days without real pressure. Having dropped out of the race for the play-offs and already assured of its continuation, this team can therefore calmly await the outcome of this exercise. Despite this observation, Thierry Debès' players seem to remain concerned by these last posters of the season and they have only lost one of their last 5 matches. It was against Le Mans 4-0 on April 6. The Béarnais still reacted rather well by winning in numerical superiority against an Amiens team which nevertheless played its skin 0-1.

Guingamp, for its part is in a very similar situation to that of its opponent of the day. Unlike last year when it was in the fight for a place in the play-offs, En Avant has had to lower its ambitions this season since it now finds itself in 11th place in the ranking, far from the battle for potential accession to the elite. Since their last success at home against Amiens 1-0, the Bretons have been dominated by Reims 0-2 and by Annecy 1-0 before having to share the points with Grenoble last week after another unconvincing 1-1 performance.

On the Inter side, potential starting defender Bisseck is missing, injured. Hard blow also with the injury of top scorer Lautaro Martinez (16 goals) who is out today. However, no other absences are to be deplored since the interesting left-back Carlos Augusto is no longer suspended. The last day was marked by the return from injury of captain Lautaro Martinez (16 goals and 4 assists in SA), who stood out with a double. He was associated with Marcus Thuram (8 goals and 5 assists in SA), who also scored as did important midfielders Calhanoglu (9 goals and 3 assists in SA) and Barella (2 goals and 6 assists in SA). Particularly in view on his left side, the piston Dimarco (6 goals and 14 assists in SA) is available.

For this meeting, the Cagliari coach remains deprived of potential starters Idrissi (defender) and Felici (midfielder) as well as striker Pavoletti, injured. On the other hand, senior defender Dossena is back from suspension. The influential Esposito (5 goals and 5 assists in SA) scored on the last day. He was supported by Gaetano (2 goals and 3 assists in SA) and Folorunsho (2 goals in SA) while the attackers Kiliscoy (4 goals in SA) and Borrelli (3 goals in SA) came into play. Also note the presence of Italian international full-back Palestra (4 assists in SA). The probable line-ups for Inter – Cagliari:

On the Sassuolo side, the potentially starting defender Candé is missing as well as the replacements Pieragnolo (side) and Boloca (midfield), insufficiently recovered from their physical problems. Arriving from OM this winter, left back Garcia scored on the last day. This is also the case for the important striker Pinamonti (8 goals and 3 assists in SA). He could still be supported by wingers Berardi (7 goals and 4 assists in SA) and Laurienté (5 goals and 7 assists in SA). For this meeting, the Como coach should recover the usual starters Ramon (defender) and Jesus Rodriguez (winger) who are announced to return.

It is also necessary to mention the withdrawal of replacement winger Addai (3 goals in 12 SA matches), whose season is already over. The influential Nico Paz (10 goals and 6 assists in SA) and Douvikas (11 goals in SA) play a leading role in this formation. Wingers Diao (1 goal in SA) and Baturina (6 goals and 3 assists in SA) apply to complete the attacking trio. Note that Como has the best defense in the championship.
