2023/23 UEFA Europa League Winner Odds
The entrants of Champions League teams have altered the betting landscape, but three-time winners Liverpool remain the favourites to win the 2023/24 Europa League, according to top bookmaker Betano
The Reds are safely through to the round of 16 after comfortably topping their group. Manager Jurgen Klopp reached the 2015/16 final in his first season with the Reds and will be looking to end his last season at Anfield on a high note. Betano has Liverpool at 3.25 odds to lift the trophy for a fourth time.
Not far behind at 5.50 odds are Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen. The Germans are the only unbeaten team across all competitions in Europe’s top five leagues. Manager Xabi Alonso is the bookmakers’ favourite to replace Klopp at Anfield, where he spent five years as a player. A European trophy will add gloss to a managerial career that, while in its infancy, is already very impressive.
Further afield, Italian giants AC Milan are now third favourites at 10 odds to win the Europa League after dropping into the competition from the Champions League. They have been drawn against Rennes (50 0dds) in the playoff round and are expected to defeat the French side and go far in the competition.
English clubs Brighton & Hove Albion and West Ham United, the reigning UEFA Europa Conference League champions, are both priced at 18 odds to go all the way.
Meanwhile, Roma are at the same price and face Feyernood (35 odds) in a repeat of the 2021 Europa Conference League final. Benfica, priced at 20 odds, will play Toulouse (100 odds) in the round of 16.
Villarreal, Sporting Lisbon, Atalanta and Galatasaray are all at 25 odds, while Olympique Marseille, RC Lens and Braga are at 35 odds on Betano to go all the way.

No team outside Europe’s big five leagues have won the Europa League in 12 years. Still, football often throws up curveballs, and who knows what could happen this season.
Think of going against the grain? Then you could back any one of Rangers (50 odds), Slavia Prague (75 odds), Young Boys (75 odds), Shakhtar Donetsk (75 odds), Sparta Prague (200 odds), and Qarabag (75 odds) to upend twelve years of Europa League history.
