Football in Italy
Serie A was founded in 1898 and remains one of the most well-supported leagues in the world, operating a relegation and promotion system with Serie B. Serie A offers qualification places for the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League.
Juventus is the most successful club in the league's history, having won the Scudetto for nine consecutive seasons between 2012 and 2020. Inter Milan and AC Milan are the other two leading clubs in terms of title success.
The Coppa Italia is Italy's main cup competition, which has been running for more than a century. The top Serie A teams enter the draw at the Third Round stage, and typically, one of them goes on to lift the silverware. The winners of the Coppa Italia meet the league winners in the Supercoppa Italiana.
Italy has produced some of the world's greatest players, including legends like Paolo Rossi, Gianluigi Buffon, Paolo Maldini, and technical geniuses like Alessandro del Piero and Roberto Baggio.
Popular Football Betting Markets
There is a vast array of Italian football betting markets at Betsson, from a forecast of the Serie A winner to live in-play odds on the total goals in a match. You can typically find 150+ bet options available pre-match for a football bet.
Italian Football Betting Outrights
For a Serie A or Coppa Italia football bet, a selection of the 'Outright Winner' can be made, and there are many other areas of long-term forecasts:
- League Winner
- Relegation
- Top Goalscorer
- Top Half Finish
- Team Season Points Over/Under
- Team Season League Wins Over/Under
Thanks to the intense races to qualify for competitions like the Champions League and Europa League, markets like 'Top 5' and 'Top 7 Finish' are also popular. An outright football bet can also focus on teams, like how many points Juventus will earn or how many goals Inter will tally for the campaign.
Italian Football Betting Match Odds
Football bet coverage is extensive, with the 'Match Result' being the most frequented market and often used to create accumulators. We display where money has been placed on the market to show how public support is going.
Other popular markets for Italian football betting are the 'Handicap' and 'Total Goals.' Backing the specific '1st Half Result' or '2nd Half Result' divides the game, while 'Intervals' for football betting go further, with a range of periods during which the match's first goal will be scored, for example:
- Home Team Total Goals
- First Goalscorer
- 1st Half Result
- Total Goals Odd/Even
- Half-Time/Full-Time
- Double Chance
- Both Teams to Score
The Betsson bet builder tool can also be used to creatively pull together Serie A odds markets like 'Match Result,' 'Handicap,' and 'Total Corners' for a same-game multi-bet. Look for specials in our pre-built menu, where selected special trebles for the match can be found.
