Nine teams have won the title with Barcelona winning the first-ever La Liga and Real Madrid holding the record for the most titles with 36. Madrid is also the most recent champion, winning the title in the 2023–24 season.

According to UEFA, La Liga was the best league in Europe for seven years in a row from 2013 to 2019.

Why Bet on La Liga
Most soccer fans and punters want to watch and bet on the best players in the world and La Liga certainly has this in spades. The matches are exciting as most teams in the league prefer to play an attacking style rather than being defensive. One of the most attractive aspects of the league is that any team can win on the day, regardless of their league position. This is great news for punters as upset wins generally mean huge payouts.
It was feared that the departure of Ronaldo and Messi would see a drop in viewership but that has not been the case. Their absence has been filled by emerging talents and seasoned players alike. Players like Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior, Robert Lewandowski, and Antoine Griezmann have stepped up, showcasing their skills and contributing to the league’s continued success. The latest star to join is Kylian Mbappe and he is sure to send the interest levels to new heights. Their performances, among others, have kept fans engaged and maintained La Liga’s reputation for high-quality football.
The emergence of young talents such as Yamal, Pedri and Rodrigo Riquelme, who made a significant impact with Barcelona and Girona, signifies the league’s ability to nurture and showcase emerging football stars. This infusion of young talent ensures that La Liga remains competitive and engaging for fans worldwide.

Popular Betting Markets for La Liga
Betting on La Liga has grown exponentially in the last decade, thanks to there being hundreds of betting markets on a single game. Mzansibet will have you spoilt for choice when it comes to betting on La Liga as we have odds on every possible match event. Some of the bets are straightforward and easy to understand while some of the other bets are a little more complicated. We have formulated a list of some of the most popular bets on the Mzansibet site.
Three way bet (1x2): This traditional bet used to be the most common type of bet as there were not a lot of options available to punters when sports betting was first introduced. You could either choose Team 1(Home) or Team 2(Away) to win while the third option was the draw (x). There was a 33.3% chance of winning your bet which was not great odds. These days you can choose a double chance bet (1x) which increases your chances to 66.7% although the odds are low for this bet.
Accumulator bet: The accumulator/multi bet is the most popular bet as punters can win huge sums of money for a small bet. The principle of high risk, high reward is very prevalent as we encourage this bet by offering promotions like Odds Booster and Returning your Stake if the accumulator is one leg out.
Both teams to score (BTTS): This is another bet that punters love specially if the teams that are playing are renowned for scoring many goals and not having the best defence, The BTTS bet is often used in football accumulators.
Specials: Special bets are unique betting options that differ from standard bets and can vary widely depending on the event. These bets typically focus on less common events and offer opportunities beyond regular sports outcomes. Examples include markets on who will be the next England football manager or enhanced odds for a specific Ballon d'Or candidate. Specials provide punters with the chance to engage in more creative and specific betting scenarios.
Over/Under bet: In this type of bet the bookie comes up with a total for goals eg.2.5 goals and the punter must decide if the total goals scored in the match will be over or under 2.5 goals. This is an excellent bet when two attack minded teams are playing as the over bet is usually a winner. Likewise when two teams that struggle to score, the under bet is a great bet.
Correct score bet: If you enjoy betting on the exact number of goals, you might like correct score wagers, which many bettors prefer. Guessing the correct score is difficult as you need to guess the total number of goals both teams will score by the end of the game. The chances of predicting the correct score is slim but the exceptional odds make it worth the risk.
Handicap betting: In handicap betting, bookies remove an advantage for a team or player over another by adding or reducing goals. The aim is to make the match tighter especially if a strong team is facing a weak team. Also known as the spread, handicap betting is a betting market that most major bookmakers offer and is commonly offered in such sports as soccer.
Tips and Strategies for Betting on La Liga
La Liga has constantly been one of the highest scoring leagues in Europe which has meant that the Over Goals bet is a winner more often than not. There are numerous other tips and strategies that you can adopt to help you win your bets. These are some other helpful tips on betting on La Liga.
Research the form of teams: The league table can show a team's current form, but it doesn't always tell the whole story. For example, a team in 13th place might have recently dropped from 7th after losing five games in a row while the team in 14th could have just won three games in a row to climb out of the relegation zone. Based on this, it is clear that you should bet on the 14th placed team.
Make Goal based bets: Goals markets are often overlooked betting options with great profit potential. Like betting on corners, the outcome of the game doesn't matter for this type of bet. This makes it easier to predict and offers better odds compared to betting on match results.
Monitor injuries of the teams: It’s easy to stay on top of who’s fit and who’s facing a spell on the sidelines in the digital age we live in. Stats are easily available that you can use to find out about the availability of each squad while there are other apps and sites that you can use for real-time updates. One or two injuries or suspensions can drastically harm a team’s chances of winning and maybe turn their scintillating run of form into a desperate scramble to pick up points – remember this as you create the best soccer betting strategy.
Home ground form: The pattern for decades in soccer has suggested that home advantage plays a huge role in a team’s season. Taking advantage of the noise of fans in their stadium and becoming used to familiar surroundings is important for a club’s success and this is usually reflected in the odds. Take Real Madrid for example as they have proven very difficult to beat at their fortress, Santiago Bernabéu, so they can be used as a banker in accumulator bets.
Don't bet with your heart: If you want to win your soccer bets, use your head instead of your heart. Always check the team's recent performance and how they play at home and away. Some teams consistently perform well against certain opponents and you can find this information in the head-to-head records. One of the most important points to remember is to always control your budget and never chase your losses. Set aside a predetermined amount to bet and if you lose, then that is fine as you budgeted that amount, win or lose.
