Barcelona and Real Madrid are the traditional titans, but placing a La Liga bet involves far more than just these legendary teams. Atletico Madrid, under the long-standing and ferocious Argentine manager Diego Simeone, has tasted much success in recent years. At the same time, other clubs like Athletic Bilbao and Sevilla are regulars at the top end of the table. Nevertheless, Barcelona or Real Madrid have lifted the trophy seventeen times in the last nineteen seasons, so La Liga odds still routinely feature these two major favourites.
Recent developments have started to shift the football landscape in Spain, with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo's departures from Barcelona and Madrid marking a turning point for both clubs. The Catalans are struggling financially, while Los Blancos have undergone a mild identity crisis after the reconfiguration of the ‘Galacticos’ era. Placing a bet on La Liga hasn't been as exciting in a while as new teams look to get involved and disrupt the traditional order.

La Liga: Current Stage
There have been big surprises since the start of the 2023/24 La Liga season, spanning from August 11th, 2023, to May 26th, 2024. The La Liga odds for the league winner have always predicted FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, with Atlético Madrid coming up as champions a few times. This season, however, there’s a new name in the top three: Girona. After 20 games played in La Liga this season, Girona topped the table. The team has only lost three matches so farr. Their first loss came against Real Madrid in September 2023. Interestingly, they won against FC Barcelona in December 2023 and against Atlético Madrid in January 2023.
Last-time winners FC Barcelona have yet to be at their best in the 2023/24 season. The club is currently ranked third on the table, with an eight-point gap from Real Madrid in first place. Real Madrid has been in better form, as the team has only recorded one loss. Their summer signing from Borussia Dortmund has proved to be a massive investment. The Englishman is currently the joint top scorer, and many fans agree that he’ll win the Pichichi Trophy at the end of the season.
La Liga 2023/24 Predictions
The odds for betting on La Liga predict Los Blancos in Madrid to lift the title after match day 38. Real Madrid won the Spanish Super Cup with a commanding 4-1 El Clasico victory in January. The team may be looking to finally get their shot at a treble if they win La Liga and emerge victorious in the biggest European club football competition. Girona is the second-best team to win the title. All it will take is one or two unfavourable results for Real Madrid, and the surprise team will top the table.
At Betsson, you can bet on La Liga odds for the most popular markets. We cover all the match days in the league so that you won’t miss any game.
2022/2023 La Liga Odds: Season Recap
La Liga odds at the beginning of the 2022/2023 season heavily favoured Real Madrid, as Carlo Ancelotti's side looked to kick on from a dominant display after winning the 2021/2022 edition. Meanwhile, Barcelona were in dire straits after a financial crisis restricted transfers and cast a cloud on the Catalan club.Most tipsters fancied Real Madrid when placing a bet on La Liga at the start of the season, but Barça ended up winning the title by a huge ten-point margin under their iconic ex-player, Xavi. A young team galvanised by experienced players like Robert Lewandowski romped to victory, setting up a mouthwatering clash between the league's top two teams going into the 2023/2024 calendar.
Elsewhere, Atletico Madrid narrowly missed out on second by a point, while Real Sociedad qualified for the Champions League for the first time in almost a decade. There was also jubilation for Villarreal and Real Betis, who will be available for Europa League bets in 2023/2024 after securing qualification.
La Liga Odds & Favourites 2023/2024
The 2023/2024 La Liga odds are extremely close to call. Most experts forecast Barcelona and Real Madrid as the main competitors for the title. However, you can never write off the likes of Atletico Madrid, who have been steadily closing the gap in recent seasons.And don't forget plucky little Girona, the Catalan club who were only promoted from the second division last season but are currently league leaders. Could they do the unthinkable and provide club football's biggest upset since Leicester won the 2015/2016 Premier League? If they can keep up their show-stopping form and football, they might just have a shot.
Realistically, Real Madrid or Barcelona should have too much firepower over the course of the season. Los Blancos, in particular, look like an ominous force. You cannot look past them when placing a bet on La Liga with players like Jude Bellingham and Vinicus in their ranks.
