Europa League Predictions & Betting Tips

Europa League 2024/25

The Europa League is the secondary competition in European football and every year the ‘best of the rest’ from across the top leagues on the continent for the chance to lift the famous trophy.

Atalanta are the defending champions, beating Bayer Leverkusen in the 2023/24 final to claim the Europa League crown but they won’t be defending their crown, in the first instance at least, as they’ll take their place in the Champions League.

So who will be the newest name on the trophy?

Who are the 2024/25 Europa League favourites?

With much to be decided in the qualifying rounds, it remains to be seen which teams will be playing in the Europa League this year.

We do know several of the teams that will take part though, with Man United, Tottenham, Roma, Real Sociedad and Porto all being assured of a place in the league phase.

A Full Time result bet is the most popular style of bet on any given match in any competition. The premise is quite simple here, you’re just backing what you expect the outcome to be – a victory for either side or a draw. Many punters often combine several of our Europa League betting tips in this market in order to create a longer-odds accumulator, a particularly intriguing idea in this competition with so many games tending to be played at the same time.

As above, Both Teams To Score is a market that you will find to be particularly popular in the earlier stages of the competition when there’s a raft of games being played at the same time on a Thursday evening. You are betting on both teams to find the net over the course of the 90 minutes and it’s a bet that lends itself to long accumulators with the same selection backed on a range of different matches. Coral are a bookmaker that offers an easy route to a BTTS coupon.

The Squawka Bet experts love a stats market too! You can now bet on how many shots or even shots on target a player will take over the course of the 90-minute match, a market that is likely to be utilised later in the campaign when you’re settling down to watch a specific tie. You can also bet on a certain player to make a certain amount of tackles during a game – with some bookmakers offering a large amount of different numbers of tackles to be made.

How about those players that are set to mistime their tackles? You can back teams to receive over a certain number of bookings in a game, or the match to have a certain amount of bookings – or even a specific player to be shown a card during the game such will be the depth of markets available on Europa League games in the 2023/2024 season.

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. Not only does it possess some of the biggest names in European football each and every year, including some that drop out of the Champions League after the group stages, but almost all games are played on a Thursday night, meaning it is rarely competing with domestic fixtures or Champions League games.

Now, most bookmakers really see the value of these fixtures, with English teams such as Manchester United and Chelsea lifting the trophy in the last few years and fans tending to show more and more interest as the tournament progresses and the chance of silverware increases.

That means you can find a host of Europa League betting offers and enhanced accumulators every Thursday throughout the season with most bookmakers, including the ones below – which we have selected as our favourites in this particular competition.

• Bet365
• Sky Bet
• BetMGM
• Midnite
• BetUK
