Latest Europa League 2017/18 Winner Odds
Europa League Outright Odds
The bookmakers offer Europa League betting odds at the start of every season and continue to offer their outright markets to the very end. Prior to the start of the group stage punters will be putting their bets on who they expect to go all the way in this competition, but that pre-season list is not the final line-up so those Europa League betting odds on offer could soon change.
The losing teams from the Champions League qualifying play-off round drop into this competition for the group stage and once that phase of the tournament is completed, the eight teams that finish third in the Champions League group stage also enter the Europa League. When the later happens you can expect the Europa League betting odds to undergo some significant changes because there will almost certainly be some big clubs entering the competition at the last-32 stage – one of which could be the actual winner.
This rule has been in place since the 2009/10 season and a Champions League drop-out has won the tournament on two occasions with Chelsea achieving the feat in 2012/13 and Sevilla matching that in 2015/16.
The Winner market is not the only outright market available for the competition, with bookmakers offering Europa League betting odds for who will reach the final and who will win the Golden Boot. Those markets tend to become available from the group stage onwards and, like the Winner market, those prices are sure to change when the tournament is underway.
Europa League Top Goalscorer Odds
Another outright market available to punters in the Europa League Top Goalscorer odds market, which is available to customers throughout the entire competition. With a large group stage, teams dropping into the competition from the Champions League and a bigger knockout phase than that competition, there are plenty of opportunities for players to rack up goals and that means there are plenty of options for punters in the Europa League Top Goalscorer odds market.
History would suggest that no matter how tempting the Europa League betting odds are, you should not back a player from a team that you expect to win the competition because a Winner/Top Goalscorer Double is not something that has been a regular occurrence.
Since the final became a one-legged affair in 1997/98, the double has been done on only six occasions and the last time that happened was back in the 2011/12 campaign when Radamel Falcao top-scored as Atletico Madrid won the competition, one season after he top-scored while firing Porto to glory.
During that same period only two English-based players, Alan Shearer and Romelu Lukaku, have won the Golden Boot, while an interesting thing to note is that South American players have dominated this award over the past 15 years with 10 players from the continent finishing the tournament as the Europa League Top Goalscorer.
Much of that is down to the fact Spanish clubs have dominated this competition since 2003/04, with La Liga providing the winner on no less than eight occasions. Therefore history would suggest that when you are looking at Europa League betting odds, you should back a South American player who plys his trade for a Spanish club in the Europa League Top Goalscorer odds market… if history is your thing of course.
