The Italian second division (Seris B) comprises twenty teams. Many of them have something to play for throughout the season, as the top eight teams battle it out for promotion to Serie A while the bottom five fight to avoid the drop to Serie C. Make Serie A bets on our online sports betting platform.

At the end of the Serie B season, three teams will be promoted and four relegated. In Serie B, if the 3rd placed team is 10 points or more ahead of the 4th placed team, they are also automatically promoted.

The regular season without play-offs lasts from August to May with 380 matches. Make your football bets on Italian leagues and dozens of other football leagues around the world.

Important factors in Serie B

Fans have unconditional love for their clubs, and the clubs treat them with great respect. Italian football is a cultural right for the people — a culture where the football club can define and affect the city in which it resides.

Moreover, the stadiums are built to encourage singing, celebrations and even pyrotechnics.

However, the dark side of Serie B is that once promoted, a near-miracle is needed to stay up. The power of Serie A over the Italian second division is enormous.

Betting on the Italian second division

With seven new teams joining the league every season, the Serie B panorama is constantly being redefined.

The second division has many teams with an excellent defensive base. Each season, we see players compete on an equal level, having the same skillsets and talent. However, the clubs themselves don't have what it takes to compete against the elite in Serie A.

Recommended Serie B betting

Sometimes it's worth looking at the strikers who operate for relegated clubs when it comes to a top striker bet, as they may have previous experience of playing at a higher level.

Before and during a match with live betting, there is a wide variety of football betting available in the Italian football league.
