Tips for betting on football

Our focus when it comes to tips, predictions and analyzes is of course on football. The most popular sport in the world is also the absolute king in the area of ​​sports betting and therefore deserves to be given some preferential treatment. We at Bettingformat therefore offer you well over 80 different leagues and events. We pay particular attention to being able to provide a certain number of games every day. While the leagues play their champions between August and May, we can offer you up to 20 tips per day. During the summer break, however, we usually focus on more exotic leagues, so you will always receive at least 4-5 tips from us per day.

FC Bayern München, Germany, Bundesliga

The forecasts always consist of an introduction, a detailed analysis of both teams and a tip forecast . In these predictions, the focus is always on the tips and on the fact that we can give you a lucrative but also safe recommendation. We usually don't just insist on one betting market, but rather give you 2-3 betting options. In football, we provide you with 11 different betting options. In each case you will find the bookmakers who provide you with the highest odds for the respective betting market. In addition, you will always find the right bonus or voucher from each betting provider in the main teaser.

Betting on football leagues

We try to cover as many events as possible in the area of ​​football tips, in numbers there are currently over 80 leagues that we cover. You can currently find all available leagues under the “Bet Tips” and “Bet Tips Football” buttons. You can see how you get there in more detail in the following picture.

We also offer you lots of lower-class leagues such as the 3rd German league, Ligue 2 or the 2nd Austrian league. We also don't ignore the cup competitions and in addition to the cup games of the most important leagues you will also find the Argentine Cup and the Russian Football Cup. We also pay particular attention to major events such as the World Cup or the European Championships. For such events, we analyze every game and give you appropriate tips. During the summer break between June and August every year, leagues such as the Swedish Allsvenskan or the Norwegian Eliteserien increasingly come into play. The quantity naturally decreases slightly during this period, but the quality of our football tips remains the same throughout the year. So that you have an overview of which leagues play during which period and so that you can submit your tips all year round, we have created the following table for you. This will provide you with tips all year round.

Betting on the Premier League

The English Premier League is considered the best league in the world. The championship is highly competitive every year, as are the international places. The quality of the teams is so high that they are among the best in the world when compared internationally. Over the course of the season, 5-6 teams emerge that are a little clearer at the top. A favorite bet would be worthwhile, especially for home games. In addition, the offensive quality often seems to be able to prevail in England. In the 2018/19 season, for example, there were 2.8 goals per game. Therefore, an over/under bet is also a popular betting option. With long-term bets becoming increasingly popular, a bet on “Goals/Players” would be worthwhile in England. The quality of individual players has been so high for years that a tip on Sergio Aguero, Mohamed Salah or Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang with more than 20 goals in a season could be worthwhile. If you want to bet on the next Premier League champion, we will show you the title winners from the last few years below

  • Champion 2022/23: Manchester City
  • Champion 2021/22: Manchester City
  • Champion 2020/21: Manchester City
  • Champion 2019/20: Liverpool FC
  • Champion 2018/19: Manchester City
  • Champion 2017/18: Manchester City
  • Champion 2016/17: Chelsea FC
  • Champion 2015/16: Leicester City

For football tips on the Premier League, we can recommend the bookmaker Betway, among others. This is also a sponsor of West Ham United. bwin and bet365 also offer strong betting offerings in the Premier League. We will show you the test reports of these bookmakers under the following links, where you will also find the respective bonus offers:

Betting on the 1st and 2nd German Bundesliga

The most popular league for football tips is the Bundesliga and the 2nd league in Germany. In contrast to England, there is always a clear championship favorite in Germany and that name is Bayern Munich. In addition to these, there are 2 to 3 teams that fight for the international places every year. But with Bayern in particular, a win bet seems to be worthwhile; this can often be combined with a tip on “Win ​​to zero” or “Win ​​both halves” . On average, a whopping 3.21 goals were scored in the 2019/20 season, more than ever since 1986/87.

The same applies in the 2nd Bundesliga, where an average of 2.9 goals were scored per game in the 2019/20 season. This season it is also noticeable that an above-average number of games end in a draw. 13 out of 18 teams ended more than 10 games with a draw in the 2019/20 season. The often very risky tip X should therefore pay off more often here than in other leagues. As a rule, those relegated from the Bundesliga are usually the favorites for promotion. The relegated team has been promoted back to the Bundesliga the following season 5 times since the 2014/15 season.

If you now have a taste for placing bets on the 1st and 2nd German Bundesliga, we can recommend Interwetten as a suitable bookmaker. Simply select the button, secure your bonus and place your bet. The German betting provider tipico offers you a large range of long-term bets .

Betting strategies for the Italian Serie A

Italian football is often described as being very defensive-oriented, but some teams have refuted this in recent years. In addition to series champions Juventus Turin, who have always managed to score at least 70 goals per game over the past 8 years, teams like Atalanta Bergamo (98 goals in the 2019/20 season) and Lazio Rome (89 goals in the 2017/18 season) getting stronger offensively. With such teams it is definitely worth placing a high over/under bet. When it comes to long-term bets, the choice seems to have become increasingly easy in recent years, as Juventus Turin recently became Italian champions 9 times in a row. It is also noticeable that the teams in Serie A do not end their games with very many draws. In the final table of the 2019/20 season there were only 2 teams in the top 10 of the table that drew more often than they suffered defeats. That's why a double chance bet 1/2 is recommended above average.

Tips for the Spanish Primera Division

The Spanish league has always been considered an offensive and attractive football league, but does this correspond to the facts? Not quite, because in the 2018/19 season there were only 2.5 goals per game on average, which is less than in the Premier League, Serie A or the German Bundesliga. A bit surprising, because this means that a tip on less than 4.5 or less than 3.5 goals in the Spanish league is more worthwhile. The main exceptions here are the two dominators FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. In the past 5 years, these two have always fought for the championship title, usually scoring more than 90 goals per season. A long-term bet on the upcoming Primera Division champion is therefore often a 50:50 chance. In addition, a certain Lionel Messi plays in Spain, which is why a bet on the top scorer could also be very likely to win. We can recommend another explicit bet on Atletico Madrid. They have had the best defense in the league for years. In the past 7 seasons they have never conceded more than 30 goals, which is why it is often worth betting on under 2.5 goals or “win to nil” for Atletico games.

Football tips on Champions League and Europa League

Among the European competitions we primarily include the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League. In contrast to the national leagues, teams from different countries meet here to play for the ultimate title. The favorites are usually the same teams, because in the last 6 years only 3 different teams have won the Champions League. The so-called favorite bets are particularly worthwhile in this competition, especially in the group phase. In order to achieve an attractive odds here, we recommend that you place several tips in a combination bet. In such clear-cut games, a sweeping win is often likely, which is why bets on over 3.5 or 4.5 goals should also be worthwhile.

The situation is similar in the Europa League; teams from the top European leagues have been able to win here in recent years. In addition, there is the special feature that the 3rd table of each Champions League group can compete in the Europa League knockout phase. In the 2018/19 season, for example, all four teams that were in the Champions League group stage 3 were able to advance to the round of 16 of the Europa League. The quality is often higher, which is why a football tip here is worth it. In general it can be said that the teams from the top European leagues such as Spain or England usually have an advantage against opponents from leagues with a slightly lower level.

Betting on minor European leagues

In addition to the top leagues already presented, we also regularly provide you with tips from smaller and lesser-known leagues around the world. It would be wrong to present a strategy or statistics here, because every league has its peculiarities. However, these betting tips should be particularly helpful to you, because we analyze these games in the same way as we do in the top leagues. However, since the teams here usually disappear under the radar, a detailed analysis is often worth its weight in gold to find out the right tip. With the help of our forecast, you save yourself hours of researching relatively unknown teams and get all the important information at a glance.

Background information on football betting

Although our football tips were written by proven experts and each game was subjected to a detailed analysis, there is of course no guarantee that you will win safely. By recommending 2-3 tips per encounter, we try to cover both lucrative, somewhat risky and safe bets. Our tips are usually online at least 2 days before the game starts, so you have enough time to form your own opinion about the upcoming game. In general, we always advise our users to only submit a tip on the same day or shortly before the game starts. Otherwise there is a risk that the odds will still fluctuate greatly and this can become a major disadvantage. We'll show you which bookmaker gives you the most lucrative odds in our odds comparison. We work with more than 90 bookmakers so you can be sure you are getting the best odds.

A normal football tip is structured as follows
  • 1. Teaser with the most important game information
  • 2. Short compact introduction
  • 3. Home team analysis
  • 4. Analysis of the away team
  • 5. Our betting tip suggestions
  • 6. The odds comparison with the most lucrative odds

Tips for football betting

We at Bettingformat strive to provide you with the most important football tips no later than 2 days before kick-off. Our priority is based on the strength and popularity of the league. In well-known leagues such as the Premier League or the German Bundesliga, you will often find the games several days before the game starts. The same applies to major events such as the World Cup or the Super Bowl. Especially in football, however, it must be noted that teams often play the Champions League on Wednesday and play the next league game on Saturday. Of course, we make sure that we only analyze the current game. In our navigation we also offer you the opportunity to choose between the betting tips “Today”, “Tomorrow” or “Weekend”. We also recommend that you compare the odds before placing your bet. Here you can find the best providers for your tip.

Betting markets for sports betting on football?

Of course you will find even more and more detailed betting markets at the bookmakers, but with the ones we offer you you will be well prepared for future football bets. You can always find out which tips we recommend in the last paragraph under “Bet Tips and Forecasts”. We will explain to you in detail which tips tend to be more risky and which are considered a “safe bet”. As soon as you have decided on a suitable tip, you can see which bookmaker offers the best odds for it. You can then easily visit it with just one click.

In order to be optimally covered when it comes to football tips, we present you with 11 different betting options in Betting Format. You can see what these are in the following comparison.

  • Tip: 1/X/2
  • Double chance
  • Draw no bet bet
  • over/under bet
  • Half time 1
  • Half time 2
  • Both teams score
  • Wins to zero
  • Win both halves

Football Betting Strategies

  • The most well-known and often very promising strategy is the favorite bet. You should choose several games over several days that have a clear favorite. In combination, these often very low odds result in a reasonable profit with manageable risk.
  • Betting on a draw is also a popular strategy. Certain leagues (like the 2nd Bundesliga in Germany) and certain teams are known for often ending a game in a draw. However, this strategy is only worthwhile if you follow it consistently. An example would be: You place 5 bets on a draw with a stake of €10 each. Each bet has an average odds of 3.50. If you only win 2 tips, you would exceed your stake of €50 and make a profit.
  • Betting markets where you can hedge your tips are also becoming increasingly popular. With a double chance bet you have the opportunity to choose 2 of 3 game outcomes. With a tip 1/X, 1/2 or X/2 there is a 66.6% chance that you will win it.

Betting analyzes from experts

It would probably be unprofessional to give a number here, because the number of football tips is of course based on the events currently available. While the European leagues run between mid-August and the end of May, we often provide you with up to 90 tips per week. In the summer, when most competitions take a break, the number naturally falls slightly. You can still expect at least 40 forecasts per week throughout the year. Since most leagues hold their games on the weekend, we offer you a majority of the games, especially on Saturday and Sunday. In general, however, it can be said that we make sure that we provide at least 4-5 analyzes every day.

Bookmaker for football betting

This question cannot be answered explicitly with a betting provider, because almost every bookmaker focuses on football. As we were able to briefly show you above, there are also providers who concentrate a little more on one league or another and offer a number of betting markets there. Given the general range of football betting tips, Bet-at-Home is certainly one of the best on the market.

However, we don't want to leave out any bookmaker here, because everyone we work with has a sufficient range of betting options in the field of football. There is also no clear trend in the odds section, because in almost every betting market another betting provider offers you the highest odds. You can see who did particularly well in these categories on our bookmaker comparison page. With the help of this, choosing a new provider will definitely be easier for you.

When should I find out about the tips?

The site is available to you around the clock for a whole year and is packed with upcoming games. There is no wrong time to take a closer look at the football tips. As a rule, it is advisable to look at and explore the tips for the coming days at the beginning of the week . International games usually take place Tuesday to Thursday. However, if you want to concentrate exclusively on the weekend, we recommend that you visit on Thursday at the latest. At this point, the fluctuation range in the odds is no longer too high and the majority of the betting tips we offer are already available for free selection. All in all, there is no wrong time to read the tips because football is played around the clock all over the world.
