La Liga Betting Odds
Every club plays other clubs twice during the season, once at home and once away, totaling 38 matches for the season.
Of course, the team that finishes first is crowned champion of Spain. While the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th-placed teams secure direct qualification to the group stages of the Champions League next season.
The past decade saw La Liga dominated by three teams in particular: Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid.
On the other side of the table, the bottom three teams get relegated to La Liga 2, and the best three teams from the second division replace them. The top two teams from the Segunda qualify directly for La Liga. The third ticket is played between the clubs that took places from 3 to 6.
It is difficult to say what is the most common bet for La Liga, but there are plenty of betting options if you want to start wagering on the competition. However, you need to get more familiar with the La Liga betting odds before you begin your journey, so let’s take a closer look at that aspect.

La Liga Relegation Odds
As briefly mentioned above, a team that finishes in the bottom three of every La Liga season will go down to the "Segunda División," the second division of Spanish football.
There are different La Liga relegation odds each season for different teams. Every soccer team competing in La Liga does not have much room for error during the season, and the La Liga odds shift as the teams' form changes.
There are only three teams that have never been relegated from La Liga throughout history: Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Athletic Bilbao. So, the La Liga betting odds for these teams to get relegated will be high.
As for the 2021/22 season, Granada, Levante, and Alavés were the teams relegated from La Liga, with Real Valladolid, Almeria, and Girona going up from La Liga 2 for the 2022/23 season.
Overall, the table in La Liga fluctuates all the time, so it is difficult to determine which three teams will drop to the second division in 2022/23. All reliable bookmakers have the odds on for Elche to get relegated, as they stand rock bottom with more than 10 points separating them from safety.

La Liga Top Scorer Odds
Over the past decade, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were the main contenders to win the Golden Boot in La Liga, but since they left, the landscape has changed.
First, it was Ronaldo who left Real in 2018, and Messi won the following three Golden Boots. Messi himself left for PSG, and last season, Karim Benzema was the most prolific striker in La Liga with 27 goals, 10 more than second-placed Iago Aspas.
Robert Lewandowski leads the La Liga top scorer odds, but be cautious. Benzema, the ever-present Iago Aspas, and Joselu, who is in fine goalscoring form, should also be taken into consideration.
FAQ La Liga
Who are the favorites to win La Liga in 2022/23?
Barcelona and Real Madrid are set to battle for who gets crowned Champions of Spain in 2022/23. Currently, Barcelona leads the way, but anything can happen until May.
What factors do I need to consider when betting on La Liga?
As seen in the table above, La Liga is mainly dominated by two teams: Real Madrid and Barcelona. A rare exception is Atletico Madrid, but this season, Diego Simeone’s men look like a shadow of themselves.
Barcelona and Real Madrid will go head-to-head once again for the La Liga title. However, Barcelona may have a slight advantage, as Xavi’s team dropped out of the Champions League group stage. Moreover, Barcelona may hold a psychological advantage, as they beat Real in the Spanish Super Cup with a 3-1 scoreline.
It was Xavi’s first trophy as a Barcelona manager, and given how much he was backed by the Barca board in terms of transfers, expectations will be high. Xavi needs to win a major trophy, and La Liga seems like the perfect opportunity to prove himself. Real Madrid, on the other hand, fall behind in the La Liga table, so Carlo Ancelotti’s men may see the Champions League as a better opportunity for a big trophy.
