Best bookmakers for betting on the Europa League
The Europa League has become one of the most exciting markets for bookmakers for a handful of reasons. First, it features some of the biggest names in European football every year. Second, almost all games are played on a Thursday night, so it rarely competes with domestic fixtures.
Most bookmakers now see the value of these fixtures. English clubs such as Manchester United and Chelsea have lifted the trophy in past editions. In addition, fan interest builds as the tournament progresses and the chance of silverware increases.
As a result, you can find Europa League betting offers and enhanced accumulators every Thursday throughout the season. The bookmakers below are our favourites for this particular competition.
What other competitions do you offer tips for?
Of course, the Europa League’s matches are mostly scheduled for a Thursday evening. There generally aren’t games in other competitions taking place then. However, if you’re looking for tips for another day, we’ve got you covered. Squawka Bet also covers a whole range of tournaments, competitions and leagues. See our pages for tips on the biggest footballing leagues across the globe:
- Champions League
- Premier League
