Europa League Format

The 2024-25 season saw a huge change in the Europa League format, one that is crucial to understand before looking at the Europa League odds at Bet777. Instead of a group stage followed by a knockout phase, the opening round after all the qualifiers have concluded is now designated as the ‘League Phase’. This is a 36-team table where each side plays eight games (four home, four away), from which only the top eight teams progress directly to the Round of 16. Teams which finish in places 9th-24th are entered into a knockout play-off round, with the winners of the two-legged ties securing progress to the Round of 16. After that, the Europa League follows a standard tournament format, with quarter-finals, semi-finals and the final itself. This new system implemented by UEFA also means that teams from the Champions League do not drop down into the Europa League, unlike in older editions. But the overall winner of the tournament does secure a place in next season’s Champions League, which really does add to the excitement!

Top Europa League Betting Markets

Match Result: Predict whether the selected Europa League match will finish as a home win, draw or away win.

Accumulator: This is probably the most popular way to bet on the tournament, given the fact 18 games can be played on a single Thursday evening. Add markets from multiple matches into your bet slip to then form one single bet with increased Europa League odds. All selected legs have to come in for the bet to win.

Bet Builder: A unique option available at Bet777. Combine multiple selections on one match into a single bet with increased Europa League odds.

Over/Under: A great way to bet on the Europa League without necessarily relying on the match result. Predict whether the number of goals/corners in a match will be over or under a specified value. For example, over 2.5 goals in the match.

Europa League Betting Tips & Strategies

Home vs Away: Some teams in European competition perform far better at home than on the road. So before looking at the Europa League odds, make sure you are fully aware of each team’s home vs away record. This data could help you discover a trend, and therefore value, in a specific market.

Team News & Stats: The internet is your dearest friend when it comes to Europa League betting. Online, you will find all the information and stats you need before looking to place bets. Team news, injury/suspension updates, head-to-head records, recent form, all of this is available to view from reputable sources and it can really help you make informed decisions on the Europa League betting markets.

Value of Outright Markets: The ‘Outright’ section on our Europa League page is often a great way to find value in Europa League odds. Wagering on match results can yield small returns, particularly if you are betting on the favourites (which is not always advised given the prevalence of underdog stories in this competition). But outright markets, from ‘Winner’ to ‘Top Goalscorer’, can often provide far longer odds and higher potential winnings.

Live Europa League Betting

Live Europa League betting, or in-play Europa League betting, is a great method to use on this exciting, fast-paced tournament. Because Europa League games can be unpredictable, it is easier to make informed betting decisions once the action has already begun. Using your knowledge of the game and understanding of the available betting markets, you can capitalise on the real-time events unfolding in a Europa League match and boost your chances of winning. Notice one team is dominating possession and creating chances for fun? Either bet on them to score the next goal in the match or bet on a high number of corners, due to the opposing goalkeeper being forced into making saves. Live Europa League betting has an extra layer of flexibility, allowing bettors to break away from the pre-match algorithms.
