UEFA Champions League Betting

The UEFA Champions League is the world’s most prominent club football competition, with a global audience tuning in every year. You can bet on Champions League matches throughout the campaign at Betano. 

Read on to discover the best Champions League odds in the UK and how to back your favourite teams as they take on Europe’s elite in this year’s competition. 

Popular Champions League Betting Markets  

There are numerous ways to bet on the Champions League at Betano, including:  

Match Betting  

You can bet on Champions League matches by picking the team you think will win. You can do this in the competition's league or knockout phase. For example, you might fancy Aston Villa to beat Celtic in their league phase fixture, so you could bet on the Villains to secure a comprehensive win at home under the lights in this battle of Britain contest. If you bet on matches in the knockout phase, remember they are two-legged affairs.  

Goals Markets 

Several Champions League goals markets are available, including over/under and the player you think will score the first goal in a match. We also love the both-teams-to-score (BTTS) market, which is popular among football fans.  

For instance, holders Real Madrid get their campaign underway with a home tie against Stuttgart, so rather than picking one of the teams to win, you could bet on both teams to score at the Bernabeu. It doesn’t matter which players score or the full-time score – provided both teams score, you win your bet. 

Handicap Betting  

Handicap betting is a viable way to level the playing field when betting on the UEFA Champions League. The new format means more teams compete, pitting some European giants against minnows at this level.  

Take the matchday eight fixture between Bayern Munich and Bratislava as an example. Most would fancy the German giants to secure a big victory at the Allianz Arena, so backing Bayern to win with a -1.5 handicap is a great way to improve your odds ahead of the fixture. 

Outright Betting  

Another popular betting option among UEFA Champions League fans is picking the competition's winner. Real Madrid are the current European champions and one of the favourites to win again this season. Manchester City, Arsenal, and Bayern Munich will all fancy their chances, too, so you can back your favourites early in the campaign to lock them in at a great price.  

Special Bets  

You can also get involved in Champions League betting at Betano with exciting special bets to crank things up a notch. For example, bet on a player to score in any fixture or the correct score between two European heavyweights in any game week.

Tips and Strategies for Champions League Betting

Now that you know how to bet on the UEFA Champions League, here are some tips to inform your football betting strategy:  

• Research and analysis: Always research a team’s current form, injuries, and past performance before backing them in a UCL wager.   
• Betting on the league stage vs knockout stage: This year’s Champions League is the first campaign with the new format, consisting of a single league phase followed by knockout rounds. Familiarise yourself with the new format and understand that the stakes are raised during the knockout phase!  
• Live betting on Champions League matches: At Betano, we offer live, in-play markets for you to bet on the Champions League in real-time.

Live betting is a brilliant way to build value into your betting slip and may help you profit from the UCL this season.
