Season Performance of La Liga 2 Teams
To make La Liga 2 predictions and bet on a team, you'll need to look at the matches from previous seasons to identify trends in performance.
In addition to identifying the straightforward wins or losses of a team, you'll also need to consider the following aspects:
- Games that end in a draw
- Games that result in a home win
- Games that result in an away win
Knowing the conditions in which your favoured team thrives will help in making value bets. Paying closer attention to the nuances of the game will give you an advantage over the bookkeeper sites that are primarily basing their odds on stats.
Watching the squads performing over the season and getting to know them is necessary to make accurate predictions on games that take place closer to the finals. This is also an ideal time to make a multiple bet (also known as an accumulator or acca bet).
Due to the numerous teams in Spain Segunda, there are many matches to analyse. Because teams get promoted if they win and other teams come down from the Spanish premier divisions, one cannot entirely rely on long-term multi-season trends for most betting markets.
The constant mix-up of 1st, 2nd and 3rd tier teams in the Spain Segunda Division means that there are always different factors to consider each season.
It may be easier to predict a winner in a match between a delegated top-tier team and a 3rd-level promoted team. On the other hand, it may be less so when you have a 3rd or 4th placing Segunda Division team playing a delegated Primera Division team.
La Liga 2 Predictions
According to the current standings for the 2022-2023 season, the top 5 teams are as follows:
- Eibar (64 points)
- Las Palmas (62 points)
- Granada (61 points)
- Alaves (60 points)
- Levante (60 points)
Because there are still a couple of months until the 2022-2023 season draws to a close, there is still the potential for movement. To make Segunda Division predictions going forward, it would be beneficial to look at a multitude of aforementioned factors in addition to the recent goal-scoring trends.
For example, home and away games affect teams differently:
- Eibar has 38 points from home games & 26 from away games
- Las Palmas has 33 points from home games & 29 from away games
- Granada has 45 points from home games & 16 from away games-
- Alaves has 38 points from home games & 22 from away games
- Levante has 33 points from home games & 27 from away games
Depending on how many games are played home and away, teams could shift dramatically. For example, if Las Palmas has a good amount of home games to play, they may not advance to first place and could even lose their standing to teams who are winning home and away games at a more equal ratio.
If Granada has several away games to play, then they would likely lose to someone who plays better on their own home grounds. However, if Las Palmas and Granada played on LP's home turf, then the stats still show that LP would have higher odds of winning against Granada who seems to only thrive at home.
It will be very a close call for the 2022-2023 season as there are 9 games remaining for both LP and Eibar. However, LP, a team that dominates in away games has 5 at-home and 4 away games left to play. Eibar, a team that does better at home, has 5 away and 4 home games left to play.
To make accurate Segunda Division predictions based on the remaining games, research would have to be done into each one. Specifically into the history LP and Eibar have with their upcoming game competitors. Also check out our guide to making La Liga predictions.
Segunda Division Betting Tips to Consider
The most interesting part of betting on the Segunda Division is that the same team cannot win every year as the top two winners head to the primary La Liga division.
This means that bets made on this division of Spanish football require proper analysis of previous competitions and a dedicated following on the current season's games.
Regardless of who wins, a popular La Liga 2 betting market is the per-game goal predictions. Statistics show that the average goals of each winning team have been between 2 to 2.5 per game over the last several years.
Of course, there are various factors at play and there are exceptions, but the Segunda Division is known for its low-scoring games that result in tight wins. This makes betting on La Liga 2 more suited to expert tipsters who have experience and can make predictions with confidence.
If you are newer to betting on predictions, it may be a better idea to follow the La Liga Primera Division season, where the odds of Barcelona or Real Madrid winning are quite high.
