We are approaching the halfway point of another European season. However, it is still more than time to study to specialize in some of the top leagues of the Old Continent. Better still, at this stage of the competition, it is already possible to have exciting data that can help you choose the tournament that best fits your betting profile. We analyzed the six major national leagues in Europe and separated three, bringing great options.
A championship that never had great prominence in this issue appears with good numbers for those who like to invest in over and under bets. For those who prefer to invest in results selections, we also found a statistic on a league that can change the view of the tournament. Finally, a national tournament that does not usually attract much attention has data to change that perception. Check out our picks!
Bundesliga has the highest goal average
When we talk about national tournaments in Europe having a high goal average, we almost always think of the Premier League or La Liga. However, this season, among the six major European leagues, the one has seen the most goals scored in the Bundesliga. Thanks in no small part to Bayern Munich’s attacking prowess, the German championship has had some excellent results.
After 16 rounds of matches, Bundesliga games have delivered 454 goals. That means that in 144 games, the average number of goals per game is 3.15. So, for those who like to bet on the over-under market, the German league can offer great opportunities and deserves attention. Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig are the best attacking teams. They have had the best attacks in the competition so far.
La Liga is good for the home team
For those who like to bet on results, or more specifically, on handicapping, one of the best European leagues to find good options is Spain. The country’s footballing elite, La Liga, is the tournament where the best home advantage is seen. In all, after 17 rounds of the competition, 74 percent of matches have been home wins or draws. In other words, only 26% of the games ended in a victory for the visitors.
Therefore, it is worthwhile investing in bets related to the home team. For handicapped teams, for example, options of -0.25, +0.25, or even 0.0 can be precious when linked to the home team. However, as with any rule, there are exceptions. Osasuna, Levante, Celta de Vigo, and Cadiz are the sides with the worst home form. These are the teams with the worst home record in La Liga.
Portugal in the spotlight among European leagues
Portugal’s Primeira Liga is hardly treated as one of the top competitions in European football. Due to the difference in technical level between most of the teams, we can see some good options to invest in the competition. The low profile in continental tournaments such as the Champions League, for example, may help justify this. However, the Portuguese championship can be very well exploited for the bettors.
Some defenses, for example, like Sporting and Porto, have been performing brilliantly in the Primeira Liga. In the same way, but in the opposite way, the attack of Belenenses has shown a terrible performance. The two opposites indicate good options for two betting markets that the Portuguese league can offer. Choices related to the underscoring and the ‘not’ of both teams’ scores can have odds of good value in the duels of the competition.
Follow the Bet365 odds based on these suggestions and see how you can find plenty of value odds. Also, keep an eye on our more varied tips, both for these as for other major European leagues.
