Serie A is one of the most watched football leagues in the world and is home to some of the best footballers on the planet. With a global fanbase, it is no wonder that there are so many opportunities for Serie A football betting. Here at Betsson, we have so many different markets for Italy’s top flight and great odds available for our customers. So, to help you place a bet on a Serie A match or matches, here is some handy information on one of Europe’s biggest football divisions.
Serie A through the years
Serie A is one of the oldest football leagues in Europe having first been founded way back in 1898. Then in 1929, the division started operating as a round-robin tournament, a format it continues to follow. Juventus have won the most Serie A titles with 36, with current champions Inter Milan triumphing 20 times in their history and AC Milan lifting the trophies on 19 occasions. Thirteen other teams have won the league since its inception, including Genoa, Napoli, Roma, Torino, Bologna, Lazio, Fiorentina, Cagliari and Sampdoria.
Italian football sides have also enjoyed huge success in European competitions. AC Milan have won five Champions League titles, while Inter Milan and Juventus have three and two wins respectively.
Serie A’s popularity peaked in the 1990s, when all the world’s best footballers were desperate to play in the division. Ronaldo Nazario, Zinedine Zidane, Gabriel Batistuta, Roberto Baggio, Diego Maradona, Hernan Crespo, George Weah and Paul Gascoigne are just some of the stars who lit up the Italian top flight during the 90s. Serie A still has the ability to attract talented footballers from abroad but the huge pulling power the league possessed in the 90s has disappeared somewhat.
Some of the most impressive Serie A records
Most appearances: Italian legend Gianluigi Buffon racked up an astonishing 657 appearances for Parma and Juventus, 10 more than fellow icon Paolo Maldini. Most league titles: Buffon also holds the record for most league titles won thanks to his 10 with Juventus.

Consecutive titles: Juventus won all nine titles between 2011-12 and 2019-20.
Consecutive wins: Inter Milan won 17 games in row during the 2006-07 season.
Most hat-tricks: Swedish legend Gunnar Nordahl scored 17 hat-tricks in Serie A.
Betting on Serie A
When you choose to place a wager on Serie A matches with Betsson, there are so many different betting markets to choose from, just like with the Jupiler Pro League and La Liga. You can obviously predict the match result but there are so many other options to enhance your winner odds. We have the option to bet on first goalscorer, total goals scored, BTTS (both teams to score), correct score, amount of corner kicks taken, number of cards and many, many more.
And one of the best ways to place a bet on Serie A is by using Betsson’s Multiway+ feature, which allows you to combine multiple selections into one wager. For example, if Inter Milan and AC Milan are facing off in a fierce derby, you can predict multiple legs such as Inter to win, Lautaro Martinez to score and over 2.5 goals in the match. But if one match is not enough, there is the ability to place an accumulator bet. The Acca is a tool which has grown hugely in popularity in recent years and the increase in odds means you can win big.
Serie A betting tips
But while we have so many different ways to bet on Serie A here at Betsson, it is important to have a clear strategy before wagering real money. Before adding any selection to a bet slip, make sure you have conducted thorough research on the teams and players involved. Do not forget, there is a lot of important information available on our dedicated Serie A page.
Check the form of the teams heading into the match, as well as the head-to-head record between the two sides involved. It is also vital to be up to date with information on the key players and whether they could be absent through injury, suspension or another matter. But perhaps most importantly, gamble responsibly.
Set yourself a budget before placing a bet on Serie A football and do not go chasing losses. If needed, set a deposit limit with Betsson.
