Football Betting
TOP-5 European national championships are held in a round robin system, where each team plays two matches with rivals (home and away). But there are also a number of championships in which the second stage starts after the regular draw.

In accordance with the occupied places, the teams are divided into two groups, in which they continue to fight:
- Playoff Championship – the best clubs in the championship;
- The relegation group is the worst teams of the regular stage.
In some championships, all the points that were scored during the first stage are saved. In others, teams can lose a solid amount of points.

Championships where points are saved
In some championships, teams move to the second stage with the full number of points they earned during the preliminary stage (championships of Ukraine, Greece, Poland). In total, they spend four full circles, according to the results of which the winner is determined.
Relegation Group – Total Under
Usually in the lower half of the table there are teams that frankly do not match the leaders in terms of the quality of play. In the relegation group, the matches are more nervous, as the cost of each mistake can be too high. For this reason, almost all the “bottom” fights in the playoffs are dry.

For example, in the UPL there are six teams in the relegation group. Only two of them (Dnipro-1 and Mariupol) score on average more than one goal per match. And the rest have big problems with creating chances and implementing them.

In a situation like this, you can choose two good betting options:
- Both will score – no;
- Total under 2.5 goals.
Championship Playoffs – “Both To Score”
The leading group usually includes teams that have a strong attacking line. And therefore, matches in the Championship playoffs usually resemble an exchange of blows, where each of the teams demonstrates their potential.

In such a situation, it is quite dangerous to bet on a high total of matches, since the defensive lines of the teams are in a big order. But, as a rule, one ball into the opponents' goal is drawn up.
Departure group in Greece – red card
The Greek championship is famous for its intensity of passions, especially in principled confrontations. But after the start of the second part of the championship, all the best teams begin to act carefully in order to consistently gain points. And in the relegation group, the real heat begins, since not all performers have enough moral peace and individual skill.

Fans of high odds will be able to find two decent options for a bet in the departure group at once:
- Red card – yes;
- Penalty – yes.
A rare match of the second stage of the Greek national championship takes place without one of these components.

Championships where points burn out
In such championships, four laps are also held, but after the first two, the points are recalculated. Only those points are taken into the team's piggy bank, which were obtained in matches with representatives of “their” group. Therefore, it is much more difficult to fight for the championship in the Austrian championship, since the lion's share of the points scored in fights with outsiders simply burns out.

Championship Playoffs – Big Total
Even with such a distribution of teams into groups, there is a situation when the leaders and main favorites lose a large number of points, therefore they are forced to start the fight for the title anew. As a rule, they are two heads ahead of their rivals in the playoffs. Therefore, the matches turn out to be hammered, rich in events.

Here you can bet on two possible betting options at once:
- Both will score – yes;
- Total over 2.5 goals.
As an exception, it is worth noting the face-to-face matches of the representatives of the top three. They act very carefully and rarely score many goals.
There is always drought in the departure group
In such championships, teams that have played quite well against the favorites and have lost the lion's share of points are often at the bottom of the table. They do not want to leave the elite division, so they start to play accurately, minimizing mistakes. And outsiders do get on the bus and methodically ward off the threat from their own possessions.

For this reason, you can bet on the lower total (less than 2.5) in almost every match. If the outsider team does not openly fall down, the defeat can not be expected. But the bet on “Both will score – no” should be abandoned, since often teams give out an effective draw (1: 1).
conclusions
Many European football championships began to move to a system in which, after the regular draw, the second stage starts – the playoff stage. Some give the teams all the points, the second take away the points that were obtained with the representatives of the foreign group. But the general trends can be traced very clearly:
- Championship – playoffs are usually very bright and eventful, resulting in a large number of goals scored;
- In the relegation group, the teams are fiercely fighting for survival, so there is practically no place for risk and interesting moves.
The above features should be kept in mind during the betting process in order to always remain in the black.
