The 2024/25 Europa League saw Tottenham Hotspur lift the trophy after a tense all-English final against Manchester United. The decisive match at San Mamés in Bilbao ended 1-0, with only one goal being scored before half-time, securing Spurs' third Europa League title and their first major honour since 2008. The season also marked the competition's first under the revamped format: a 36-team league phase replaced the traditional group stage, increasing the pre-knockout matches from 141 to 189.
Europa League Football Betting
In 2009, the amalgamation of two former continental club competitions produced the Europa League, the second-tier club cup competition in Europe. The tournament has undergone many format changes throughout and took on a new shape for the start of the 2024/25 campaign.
The tournament evolved into a 36-team league phase, replacing the former group stage featuring 32 teams. Unlike previous seasons, the Europa League main draw will not include teams in the season's Champions League winner odds picture.
Spanish side Sevilla is the all-time most successful club in Europa League history, with Spain having produced more winners in total than any other nation.
Great Europa League Moments
The competition has produced some great moments, and one of the most memorable early finals was in 2010, when English side Fulham, in just their second European season, were surprise finalists against Atlético Madrid but lost 2-1.
En route to the final, Fulham had staged a stunning comeback from 4-1 down against Juventus to win 5-4 on aggregate in the Round of 16 in one of the greatest Europa League matches ever.
The 2013 final ended in dramatic fashion when Chelsea scored a winner in the third minute of stoppage time to give the Blues the title over Benfica. The high-scoring 2015 final between Dnipro and Sevilla was also a classic, with Sevilla winning 3-2.
The Spaniards were back at it the following season, defeating Liverpool 3-1 to win the title for the third consecutive season. Sevilla's 2023 title against Roma saw them win their seventh Europa League crown.
Popular Europa League Markets
From outright to match betting, you can find Europa League odds across many markets to fit your football betting strategy.
Qualification
While some teams qualify automatically for the league stage, others must grind through qualification rounds. Teams can be backed to survive the qualification route with a bet on Europa League odds at Betsson.
League Stage
The final standings from the 36-team league stage offer more opportunities for Europa League bets. Will a team qualifying in the top eight automatically reach the round of 16? Or will they have to go through a knockout playoff route or perhaps miss altogether?
Stage of Elimination
You can select a team in the Europa League winner odds from pre-season. Teams can also be backed for how far they will get in the draw. For a stronger team, it could be a quarter- or semi final option.
To Reach Final
When placing a bet on the Europa League, the options go beyond who will lift the trophy. A good example of this is to back a team you think is likely to reach the final, regardless of what happens in the decider.
Match Betting
There is an abundance of Europa League bets on popular markets like 'Match Result', 'Both Teams To Score', and 'Draw No Bet' that are specific to that match.

Tips for Smarter Europa League Bets
If you want to place better Europa League bets, look beyond the headlines. Consider the finer details that often influence results:
- Squad Rotation: Most teams will be balancing domestic leagues, which forces them to rest key players in the Europa League.
- Underdog Value: Upsets are common, and underdogs can offer great Europa League odds.
- Motivation: All clubs might not treat the competition with the same priority, as there are still other important leagues to play.
- Away Form: Some clubs perform poorly on foreign soil, especially in high-pressure knockout games.
- Head-to-Head Stats: These are available at Betsson to help guide your betting on Europa League markets.
