UEFA Europa League Betting

21 October 2020

Features of Odds for the Europa League

The main feature of the Europa League is the dark horses. Almost every year there are several teams that reach the decisive stages of the playoffs, although most of the experts were written off at the group stage. The most recent example is Red Bull Salzburg, who managed to reach the semifinals in the last draw. Undoubtedly, there will also be dark horses in the 2018/2019 season, and if you take the time to analyse and see a strong underdog in one of the participants, you can very well make money on it.

The performance of the tournament is quite high, and therefore it is safe to use strategies for betting on football. Again, there are a lot of bets on outsider goals, which will bring profit in the long term. Before betting on any match of the Europa League with the participation of clubs from the top 5, be sure to look into the calendar. Closer to the quarterfinals you can place advantageous long-term bets on the winner of the tournament. In the last few seasons the cup went to the main favourite:

  • Sevilla
  • Manchester United
  • Atletico Madrid

Types of  Bets for Europa League

Traditionally, bookmakers accept pre-match and live bets for all the matches of the UEFA Europa League, including the qualifying round. And also a long-term bet on the winner of the tournament, the top scorer, the statistics of the game day, or a particular match is available at bookmakers. 

Bets on the Winner of the UEFA Cup: The favourites of the Europa League this season are two representatives of London - Chelsea and Arsenal. The chances of the aristocrats on the trophy are quoted a little higher and are estimated by the odds of 8.00 for Chelsea, and the Arsenal chances are accepted with odds of 10Sevilla - 17 closes the top three candidates for the victory in the Europa League.


Arsenal vs Chelsea

Also, bookmakers appreciate the prospects of Marseille - 16, Leipzig - 17, Bayer - 18.46, and Lazio - 17. Further Villarreal - 23, Betis and Zenit - 29. Making long-term forecasts for the Europa League betting is difficult, and even pointless because eight more teams that took third place in the group stage of the Champions League are involved in the playoffs of the tournament. If you still choose among the favourites, then the best option is the victory of Arsenal with odds of 10 - the Gunners were led by Unai Emery, who won the European League with Seville three years in a row.

UEFA Europa League Betting on the Stats

Most bookmakers open markets with stakes on statistics of the group stage matches of the Europa League. When the playoff begins, then there is an opportunity to bet on any match. The range is not as extensive as the Champions League, but at least you can always place a bet on yellow cards and corners.

Live Betting UEFA Europa League

If at the stage of the playoffs, especially at the 1/8 finals, the motivation of the team for the tournament and its possibilities becomes clear, then it is difficult to make a correct pre-match analysis at the group stage. And therefore bets on the group stage matches and the round of 16 of the Europa League are better in live mode when the compositions will be known and for the first 10-15 minutes of the match, you can understand the mood of the team. For live betting on the UEFA Europa League today, bookmakers offer very good conditions both in terms of odds and live streaming.
