Serie B Outrights Tips for 2025/2026 Season
Outright betting in Serie B focuses on season-long outcomes across Italy’s second division. The most popular outright markets to bet on for Serie B include To Win the League, To Be Relegated, and To Finish as Top Scorer. These market bets reward punters who evaluate squad depth, transfer activity, and who know how to turn that knowledge into accurate football predictions that identify genuine value before the odds shift.
Who is most likely to win Serie B this season?
Priced at 9/5 (64.3%) by leading bookmakers, Palermo are the main contenders for the 2025/26 Serie B title. Their chances rest on two key pillars, the first being strong financial backing from City Football Group, and the second, one of the most loyal fan bases in Italian football.
Palermo’s push to win the tournament would crown years of rebuilding at the Stadio Renzo Barbera, which seats more than 36,000 and drew average crowds of over 20,000 last season. That level of support, combined with substantial investment from their owners, gives them a major edge in a division where many clubs face strict financial limits. Under Filippo Inzaghi, who arrived after a successful spell at Pisa, Palermo have assembled a balanced squad built to perform across a long campaign. With serious resources, stability, and passionate home support, they stand as the clear favourites to lift the 2025/26 Serie B title.
Who is most likely to be relegated from Serie B this season?
In 2025/26, Padova and Pescara are the leading candidates for relegation from Serie B, with Avellino not far behind. Padova look weakened in attack after the departure of key players, while Pescara face defensive fragility and a poor away record. Avellino, back in the second tier, lack both experience and established names, making it another likely contender for relegation.
More information about the 3 main clubs at risk of relegation from Serie B is given below.
- Padova. Padova is one of the main teams at risk of relegation from Serie B due to the loss of Michael Liguori and their thin attacking options. Having just returned from Serie C, their promotion momentum could fade quickly without reliable goals.
- Pescara. Pescara is at serious risk of relegation from Serie B due to their shaky defence and struggles on the road. Promoted through the playoffs, they are likely to find the step up in quality harsh when away from home.
- Avellino. Avellino is another club at risk of relegation from Serie B due to their lack of experience and absence of high-profile players. The jump from Serie C is steep, and without proven performers, survival looks difficult.
Who is most likely to finish as Top Scorer in Serie B this season?
Pietro Iemmello is the most likely candidate to finish as Serie B’s top scorer in 2025/26. The Catanzaro forward hit 16 goals last season and continues to stand out for his clinical finishing, making him one of the division’s most reliable top scorer contenders. Looking deeper at his 2024/25 numbers, Iemmello’s 16 league goals came with an expected goals (xG) tally of 16.93, showing that his finishing closely matches the chances he generates. He ranked in the 97th percentile for goals scored with 0.46 goals per 90 minutes and contributed 18 goal involvements overall, positioning him well ahead of other contenders in the race for Serie B’s Top Scorer title.

What are Serie B Predictions?
Serie B predictions are expert evaluations of likely outcomes in Italy’s second tier. Our football predictions for Serie B include outright markets such as promotion and relegation battles, as well as weekly tips on match winners, total goals, and other popular bets. Using a mix of statistical models, team news, and betting market analysis, our football predictions for Serie B are designed to give punters an informed edge throughout the current season.
How are Serie B Predictions determined?
Our analysts build accurate Serie B predictions using a structured process that combines statistical analysis, tactical insight, and market evaluation. The unique balance of tight scorelines and strong home advantages in Serie B demands a method tailored to its specific patterns.
The 3 main steps behind our Serie B predictions are as follows.
- Evaluating match-level statistical profiles
- Assessing squad availability, injuries, and experience
- Aligning insight with betting markets and implied probabilities
- Evaluating match-level statistical profiles. The first step in shaping accurate Serie B predictions is to analyse advanced indicators such as expected goals, shot efficiency, and defensive solidity. Serie B often produces fewer goals than other European leagues, with averages consistently between 2.3 and 2.6 goals per match over recent seasons. Identifying which teams outperform or underperform their expected data allows Serie B forecasts to reflect true strength rather than short-term results.
- Assessing squad availability, injuries, and experience. The second step required to shape accurate Serie B predictions evaluates squad availability and experience. In Serie B, the presence of experienced defenders and midfielders is often decisive in close contests. Teams lacking veterans tend to struggle in high-pressure fixtures, while clubs with seasoned players in key positions sustain performance across the 38-match campaign.
- Aligning insight with betting markets and implied probabilities. The third step in creating reliable Serie B predictions involves translating bookmaker odds into implied probabilities and highlighting mismatches between market perception and actual on-field trends. By systematically comparing probabilities with odds, Serie B predictions identify the markets where punters have the strongest long-term edge.
When are Serie B Predictions released?
Serie B predictions are published twice a week, every Tuesday at 12:30 AM London Time and once again on midweek matchdays at the same hour, after the previous round has concluded. This release pattern keeps forecasts aligned with the latest results, squad updates, and betting opportunities.
What are the most appealing Betting Markets to bet on for Serie B?
The three most appealing football betting markets in Serie B are Under 2.5 Goals, Both Teams to Score (BTTS), and Clean Sheets. These markets stand out because the league averages relatively few goals per match and features defensively strong teams that often produce low-scoring encounters with narrow margins.
More information on the 3 best betting markets to bet on for Serie B is given below.
- Under 2.5 Goals. Under 2.5 Goals is the most profitable option in Serie B. With seasonal averages between 2.33 and 2.53 goals per game, matches rarely open up into high-scoring affairs. For example, in 2022/23, 60% of fixtures ended under 2.5 goals, and in 2020/21 the rate was 56%, proving this market consistently rewards Serie B punters.
- Both Teams to Score (BTTS). The BTTS market has remained steady across the last four Serie B seasons, with results hovering around 49–56%. In 2023/24, the figure reached 56%, while in 2020/21 it was exactly 50%. This balance makes BTTS appealing for Serie B betting when combined with situational factors such as home form or attacking injuries.
- Clean Sheets. Clean Sheets are particularly common in Serie B due to its defensive style. In 2020/21, 60% of Serie B matches saw at least one team fail to score, and even the lowest recent figure was 54% in 2023/24, making this one of the most valuable markets for Serie B.
The table below summarises key Serie B’s betting data across the last five seasons.

How are Serie B Fixtures built up?
The fixture list is built up by Lega Serie B in consultation with clubs, broadcasters, and local authorities. Care is taken to avoid long sequences of consecutive home or away matches and to ensure that local derbies are scheduled with security coordination. The Serie B calendar is adjusted to account for Coppa Italia rounds and clubs’ stadium availability.
