The status of the league is boosted by the presence of both Real Madrid and Barcelona, two of the most famous clubs in the world. The duo usually dominates title races in the Spanish top flight.
The main focus of La Liga betting is predicting who will top the table at the end of the current season. The winner will move on to the Spanish Super Cup to meet the Copa del Rey winners at the start of the following season. But further football betting options can be found in areas like relegation and the races for European spots.
NordicBet presents the most current competitive La Liga odds for bettors to enjoy, encompassing comprehensive betting markets and incorporating various special features. Keep reading for a breakdown of what's on offer, a season preview, and essential La Liga betting tips.
La Liga Overview
La Liga is one of the world's most famous professional football leagues, responsible for arguably two of the greatest teams in history: Real Madrid and Barcelona. The league was established in 1929, with Barcelona lifting the first-ever trophy.Real Madrid, however, are the all-time leaders for the most La Liga titles won. Their 2021/22 title saw them collect their lead-extending 35th top-flight crown, and since the turn of the century, they have never finished a season outside the top three.
Barcelona and Real Madrid are naturally listed as strong contenders in the 'La Liga Winner' market. They are the clubs that have attracted some of the biggest stars in the world, none bigger than the Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo rivalry.
Twenty teams compete over the 38-game season, playing home and away fixtures from August to May. That's 380 matches in total to explore La Liga odds. NordicBet offers extensive pre-match and in-play betting football odds across every single fixture.
The 2023/24 LA Liga Season So Far
The remarkable La Liga title challenge of Girona powered on into the new year. After going into the winter break at the summit with only one loss, they immediately picked up where they left off by convincingly winning their first league game of 2024.
Despite the unexpected challenge from Girona, Real Madrid remain heavy favourites in 'La Liga Winner' odds. They are followed by Girona, who are only just shy of double figures, with reigning champions Barcelona a little longer in the outright market. Real Madrid vs Girona is the big match to look out for in mid-February.
Atlético Madrid joins the trio as the main protagonists for a 'Top Four' finish. The only other team that looks capable of mounting a challenge on that front over the second half of the season are Athletic Bilbao, if their strong home form can be sustained.
The experience of Real Madrid in hunting down league titles gives them a lot of favouritism. They have been in this position time and time again and have proven that they know how to get the job done.
In stark contrast, Girona are in search of their first-ever La Liga title. They were only promoted back to the top flight last season after three campaigns in the second tier.
At the start of the season, Girona were roughly 750.0 to win La Liga, raising memories of Leicester City's famous Premier League title in 2016 after being 500.0 pre-season odds.
La Liga Relegation
With just six points on the board and no wins from their first 21 fixtures of the season, Almeria look resigned to suffering relegation at the end of the campaign.
Also struggling at the foot of the table with them are Cádiz and the newly-promoted Granada.
After a mid-table finish last season, the surprise name in the La Liga relegation betting odds is Sevilla after a horrendous run of form with six defeats in seven matches through December and January.
La Liga 2022/2023 Season Recap
Barcelona ended a barren spell of three seasons without the La Liga title to claim the 2022/23 crown. They defied the odds on La Liga to get there, as their great rivals Real Madrid have been the pre-season favourites in the 'Outright Winner' market.Despite financial restrictions, under the guidance of club legend Xavi, Barcelona rallied together to mount the title challenge. The Catalans got over the line easily in the end, finishing 10 points clear of Real Madrid.
Known most for their attacking brand of football, it was a remarkable defensive effort that got them to the line. Barca conceded only 20 goals all season and won all but three of their fixtures at the Camp Nou.

La Liga Odds
Learning to read La Liga odds is fundamental to long-term enjoyment and success. NordicBet is committed to using the most straightforward approach, with decimal odds easily letting you see the favourites and calculate your potential payout.The main rule to remember is that the smaller the decimal number, whether pre-match or live football odds the bigger the favourite or the possibility of an event happening. To determine your potential payout, multiply your stake by the odds. For example, if we placed a €10 bet on Barcelona with theoretical La Liga winner odds of 2.50, we would win €25 back and make a €15 profit.
La Liga Winner Odds
The La Liga winner odds attract plenty of pre-season and in-season attention. The seasonal duel between Barca and Real Madrid is always a high point, not only in the title race but when they come together on the pitch.'El Clasico' is the name for the Barcelona and Real Madrid matches. It is one of the biggest football betting fixtures in the world. There is a massive battle of pride between the two giants of Europe, and in the last couple of decades, they have had a huge impact on settling where the La Liga title eventually ends up.
As well as 'El Clasico', every other Spanish top-flight fixture has an extensive range of La Liga odds. The 'Match Winner' is the most popular area of focus. However, more than 80 pre-match bet options can be found for most La Liga fixtures.
When kick-off in a match drops, then the pre-match odds shift into the La Liga live betting zone. That's where calls can be made on the current state of play by studying the constantly updated live odds on markets like 'Match Winner', 'Next Team To Score', 'Total Corners', and 'Under/Over'.
The NordicBet Bet Builder feature is easy to use, allowing punters to customise bets and pick from selected markets to forge a same-game multi-bet. That's all available in our fantastic in-play section, where in-game statistics bolster live matches.
The longer-term La Liga betting markets offer an alternative view of the season. A selection of the title winner, plus 'La Liga Relegation' and 'Top Half Finish', offers alternative paths into our La Liga betting odds. The race to see who will be among the teams available via our Europa League odds the following season is another popular area.
