UEFA Champions League Betting Odds

From the opening round to the final, Champions League betting odds are available all season long! With a brand new format, Champions League betting has changed forever! With the group stages being converted into a League format consisting of eight matches, which means more Champions League football for all! Even if a team wins their first four games, they may not be guaranteed to make it to the next round.

This unique new format offers more opportunities for betting with top eight betting in the group stage as well as top 24 betting as bettors get the opportunities to bet on whether or not teams will be eliminated in the league stage or whether they'll progress to the play-off or directly through to the next round of the Champions League.

Champions League Match Betting Odds

What the new format of the Champions League delivers is more matches during the tournament, which means more opportunities to bet on your favourite teams. When betting on Champions League matches, there are thousands of opportunities to bet available at your fingertips.

Champions League matches tend to be cagier affairs that what you traditionally see in the Premier League, this is because with less games, there are less opportunities to for teams to pick up the important wins. However, with fast-flowing counter-attacking football the most common style, we tend to find a large number of goals in group stage games but games in the knockout rounds follow the cagey style of play with a large number teams looking to keep the scores low.

The removal of the away goals rule has led to a different style of play being utilised, when teams are away from home, they won't look to score goals to give them the advantage, they would often rather keep the scores low and have the game determined on their home turf.

Betting on the Champions League Group Stage

The Champions League's group stage is being renamed the League phrase, which won't roll off the tongue as well but it will provide more betting opportunities during the season. From the first round where you can bet on teams such as the Ireland Champions Shamrock Rovers who will be desperate to make the League stage. These teams are almost certain to be ranked in tier four, each team will play eight games.

Group stages matches will see each team play two teams from the four seeds, two teams in the first seed, two teams in the second seed, two teams in the third seed and four teams in the fourth seed, in an attempt to keep the league phase as even as possible.

This means we could see the likes of Manchester City Vs Bayern Munich as an opening group stage game, meaning that the competition will see better games every single week.

With this, you'll be able to find top eight odds for teams to achieve automatic progression to the next stage or top 24 odds for the teams to make it through to the play-off stage. Similar to betting on stages in big international competitions.

Bet Live on the Champions League

When looking at individual matches, you have two football betting options, the first is to bet outright pre-match. This is the bet type that allows you to place a bet before the match based on what will happen during the game, the alternative is live betting, where you place a bet on the match as it happens, from the 1st minute to the 90th minute, you can place bets on Europe's premier club competition at any point. This allows you to place a bet on a match while it happens, giving you the opportunity to use your knowledge of the UEFA Champions League to bet on what will happen during the game such as goals, yellow cards, corners etc;

UEFA Champions League Betting Markets

Our Champions League betting markets boil down to three main types: in-play match markets, per-stage markets and futures markets. You can bet on live football odds via Bet UK for every Champions League game each season and get the best odds on outcomes such as match winner, correct score and first goalscorer.

You can also wager on individual groups and which teams will progress in the knockout stages. These are great bet types if you want to back outsiders to advance with great odds.

And of course, our Champions League winner markets are available for punters who prefer to wager on the eventual winner. The Champions League has been won by one of the favourites every year for the past decade or so, since relative underdogs Inter Milan claimed the trophy in 2010.

Per-stage betting is particularly popular because this features mid-term bet types that players can rely upon for profits. For example, betting on teams to win their Champions League groups at the beginning of the group stage is often a smarter option than waiting for the odds to drop later in the autumn, and maximise profits come December. Likewise, backing teams to advance to the quarter-finals and semi-finals once the last-16 draw has been made will squeeze out more potential profits.

UEFA Champions League betting markets: Outright Winner

When looking for Champions League winner odds, you'll likely be able to find some good betting odds for the Champions League winner at the start of the season. The likes of Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich are always strong favourites and it's highly unlikely that the group stage will alter their chances of success but their odds will decrease following this, so we recommend checking betting odds at two stages, at the start of the season and during the quarter-final. As at the quarter-final, you have at least six teams who could still win the competition and two teams who are big outsiders.

UEFA Champions League Final Betting
