Mourinho back at Madrid, Inter defending in Serie A, and Bayern is chasing a three-peat — European football is back. Full 2026/27 odds, best bets, and how to place them at Housebets with crypto.
It is officially football season at Housebets, as the 2026/2027 campaign fully kicked into gear last weekend. However, while the 2026/2027 season is underway, the big leagues are still a few days away from starting.
In this piece, we will take a look at the title races in LaLiga, Serie A, the Bundesliga, and Ligue 1. The title race is one of the most interesting battles in every football season, and we will look at the favourites in each league, according to odds from Housebets.
Housebets remains the home of football betting, including the 2026/2027 European football campaign, which is already underway. To place your bets on the football games across Europe this season, log in to your account (or create one if you don't already have one), deposit your preferred cryptocurrency, then go to the sports section to bet on these games.
The 2026/2027 LaLiga season kicked off last weekend, but Real Madrid and Barcelona did not play, as their players were given an extended week-long break due to their exertions at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
However, the break time is over for the two teams as they start their campaigns this week. The two are the favourites for the title again this season, with Barcelona slightly priced ahead of Real Madrid.
The Catalan giants are currently priced at 1.71 to win the title again, and that is hard to go against, considering they have been the best team in the league for the last two years. Hansi Flick’s men have won the last two league titles and looked primed to complete a three-peat this season.
While they might not have splurged the cash, they have made two major additions to improve the squad. The Catalan giants brought in Karim Adeyemi from Borussia Dortmund and Anthony Gordon from Newcastle.
They are also close to signing Rodri from Manchester City, an addition that will significantly improve their midfield. Considering they still have a core of their squad from last season, these three additions make Barcelona stronger going into the new season.
One thing that could work against Barcelona, especially early this season, is that a major core of their Spanish players just came back, so it could take a while before they get back to fitness.
Also, they are up against a Real Madrid side that is highly motivated to end Barcelona’s dominance in the league. Los Blancos had a disastrous campaign last year that saw them finish second last season.
While finishing second should not be considered a disaster, it was the mood around Real Madrid’s camp that was concerning. From players fighting to coaches getting fired, last season was not ideal for the Los Blancos.
As a result, the board agreed to appoint Jose Mourinho this summer to come in and lay down the law. While his appointment may look counterproductive on the surface because Jose is volatile, he is also the kind of manager who can get the egos in Madrid’s dressing room to work together.
The Portuguese tactician has already been backed in the summer transfer market, with Madrid signing Yan Diomandé, Marc Cucurella, Carlos Espí, Denzel Dumfries, Ibrahima Konaté, and Bernardo Silva.
These are big names who definitely will improve an already stacked Madrid squad that has the likes of Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham. On paper, Los Blancos have individual players who are better than what Barcelona have, but the issue is having to play together as a squad.
This is what Mourinho will try to do in his second return as the club’s manager. Madrid are currently priced at 2.25 to win the title, but if Mourinho can get the squad going, he might just end Barcelona’s dominance just like he did in his first stint.
The Italian Serie A is another league to watch this season as Inter Milan aim to successfully defend their title. Unlike LaLiga, Serie A has about four to five teams that could realistically win the title.
Inter, obviously, remain the favourites, priced at 2.00 to win the title, according to odds from Housebets. The Nerazzurri have the best squad in the league and have even made more additions to improve their squad.
The champions have brought in the likes of Djed Spence, John Stones and Aleksandar Stanković to bolster their squad. Considering their rivals have not done enough to address the gap, Inter look set to win the title again.
However, despite their struggles, Inter’s major rivals will be eager to stop Christian Chivu’s men from winning the title again. Napoli are the second favourites after Inter, priced at 5.60 to win the title.
The Neapolitans have a new manager in Massimiliano Allegri, but the Neapolitans will have to dig deep if they are to dethrone Inter. Napoli have only made a few additions to their squad, but it remains to be seen if they are good enough to help the team.
Aside from Napoli, Juventus are also one of the sides that could challenge Inter for the title. The Old Lady are priced at 6.00 to win the title, which may be a good value, given they are the most successful side in the league's history.
With Luciano Spalletti having a full summer of pre-season, Juventus might just surprise many people this season. As for the others, it is hard to imagine either AC Milan or Roma winning the title.
The Rossoneri missed out on European qualification last season, but nothing from their pre-season form has suggested they are ready to improve on that. Although they have appointed Ruben Amorim, the Portuguese comes in trying to rebuild his reputation after a disastrous time at Manchester United.
Milan are priced at 6.60 to win the league title, but given they have not made big signings, a top-four position at 1.48 could be the best bet.
All eyes will be on Paris Saint-Germain when Ligue 1 kicks off this weekend. PSG are the two-time defending champions and are the overwhelming favourites to win it all again.
In fairness, other teams in the league will be playing catch-up, as the Parisians are clearly the best team in the league. Not only are Luis Enrique’s men best in the division, but they are also the two-time defending European champions, which highlights the magnitude of the challenge for the rest of the league.
PSG are priced at 1.13 to win the title again, according to odds from Housebets. Enrique’s men's obvious target will be to win the Champions League again, but they have made a few improvements to their squad as they aim to navigate both the league and the UCL.
With PSG likely to win the league, other teams will battle for the remaining European qualification spots. Right now, Olympique Marseille are seen as the next best team in the league, with the Olympians priced at 2.10 for a top-three finish.
Behind Marseille are AS Monaco, priced at 2.55 for a top-three finish, ahead of RC Lens, priced at 3.10 to qualify for the UCL.
Like Ligue 1, the Bundesliga also has a champion-elect, even though a ball has not even been kicked. Bayern Munich have dominated the last two seasons and are the overwhelming favourites to win it all again.
They have the best squad by a mile and have even made minor improvements by bringing in Ismael Sabairi. However, even without the addition of Sabairi, Vincent Kompany’s men are still in a league of their own.
The Bavaria giants are priced at 1.13 to win the league, as per odds from Housebets. The next closest team is Borussia Dortmund, priced at 11.00 to win. However, the truth is that Dortmund and the rest are all fighting for other spots aside from the top position.
