Football in Sweden
The Swedish Football Association was formed in 1904. Football arrived in Sweden long before that, but with the founding of the SFA, the professional game developed, and the Allsvenkan was introduced in 1925 as the country's first national league.
The Allsvenskan still sits at the top of Swedish football, and there are many tiers beneath it offering a variety of football odds. The Superettan is the second of those, and it has a competitive race for promotion to the top flight. Beyond that, there are a couple of Division 1 leagues and numerous Division 2 and Division 3 levels.
While the Allsvenskan dominates the football betting scene in Sweden, the leading cup competition is the Svenska Cupen, featuring all 32 teams from the top two tiers plus 64 teams from Sweden's lower divisions.
Popular Football Betting Markets
Outright markets are popular for exploring a football bet on the Allsvenskan or any other league or cup in Sweden. Picking the Allsvenskan winner or selecting a team for a 'Top 3 Finish' provides angles into the long-term outlook for the season. Allsvenskan relegation and the 'Top Goalscorer' markets are also major areas for football betting in Sweden.
Many of the top-flight matches in Sweden have 180+ bet options available pre-game. That ranges from the popular 'Match Result' market to 'Handicap', 'Total Goals', and 'Both Teams To Score'. Other popular markets that can be found for both pre-match and in-play bet options include:
- First Half Result
- First Half Goals
- Double Chance
- Draw No Bet
- Half-Time/Full-Time
- Goal In Both Halves
- Team To Score First Goal
Special markets like a 'Bet Builder' feature many common markets for a same-game multi, and pre-built bets like curated trebles focus on different game elements. The Intervals market is another exciting type of football bet.
Interval bets focus on the outcome of specific periods, like '5 Minutes' or '10 Minutes'. The 'Race To 2 Goals' and other tallies can be explored, along with prop markets on match events like 'Goal in Both Nets' and '2nd Half - Both Teams To Score'.
Live Football Bet Options
After kick-off, dynamic live football odds become available for further betting options on Swedish football. Waiting to see how a game is unfolding before jumping on the Allsvenskan betting markets is a popular approach bettors take.
The live markets, which are supported by in-game stats, can lead to hedging opportunities and other in-play strategies. The fast Betsson mobile app makes it convenient to keep up with the current in-play odds and Swedish football bet options. Many live betting markets have coverage from Betsson's cash-out feature, which allows the early settlement of a bet.
