Europa League Betting

Europa League Odds

The UEFA Europa League, which came into effect from the 2009/10 season, is the newest version of the UEFA Cup and sees introduction of a new competition format in an attempt to increase the popularity of Europe's 'second' cup. This seems to have had an effect on the gambling industry as Europa League odds are now more competitive than ever before.

The Europa League spans 193 teams and the first season ran from July 2nd 2009 to the final in the HSH Nordbank Arena, Hamburg, on 12th May 2010. The most significant structural change is the introduction of a group stage comprising 12 banks of 4, as opposed to the old system which had 8 groups of 5. This allows each side in the group to play both home and away fixtures against each of the other 3 clubs in their group. The 8 clubs who finished 3rd from the Champions League group stages will join the competition when the 1st knockout round begins.

Only one British club in the last 25 years has won the Europa League in any guise (Liverpool in 2001) but Europa League betting odds on any Premier League club are normally short because of the strength of the division.

When considering Europa League bets, clubs from Russia and Spain are worth particularly strong consideration: these two nations have won 5 of the last 7 between them. Last year, the trophy was won by Atletico Madrid, who defeated Fulham 2-1 after extra-time in Hamburg, Germany.
