Popular Europa League Betting Markets
To improve your UEFA Europa League betting experience, it’s important to be aware of the various markets available for sports betting. Familiarising yourself with the most popular markets can be considered one of the best betting tips for the Europa League. Here are some of the top markets to explore:
Outright Betting
One of the most popular markets in UEFA Europa League betting is the outright market, which requires you to bet on the team you believe will win. This can be either the winner of the entire tournament or the winner of a specific match. To place an outright bet, check the Europa League betting odds for the team you want to back at various bookmakers and proceed to place your wager on them. It’s as simple as that.
Both Teams To Score
Both Teams To Score (BTTS) is a popular betting market in football and is increasingly becoming popular in Europa League betting as well. It’s a straightforward bet that simply requires both teams in a match to score at least one goal each during the match, regardless of the final outcome.
The BTTS market provides a great alternative to traditional outright betting and can often offer more appealing odds. It’s important to note that the market is only concerned with the number of goals scored by each team, not the actual winner of the match. This makes it an exciting market to bet on, as you don’t necessarily need to pick the winner to make a profit.
Over/Under
Looking for profitable betting options that involve goal scoring? Consider placing a wager on whether the total number of goals scored in a game will surpass or fall short of a specified threshold. For example, if you’re interested in a Europa League game featuring Valencia and Atalanta, and the over/under 3.5 goals market offers favourable odds, you can bet on the over option if you think that the match will produce more than 3 goals.
Draw No Bet
This market offers two potential outcomes – a home win or an away win – in other words, you can choose team A or team B to emerge victorious. If the game results in a draw, you’ll receive a refund of your stake. This market is a great option when you’re confident about which team will ultimately win.
Anytime Goalscorer
If you think that a specific player will score a goal during a game, then you can back them to do that at any point in the match. The less likely the player is to score a goal, the higher the odds will be on them doing so. You can also opt for the first goalscorer option, but if you’re newer to the football betting scene, you may want to go with the anytime goalscorer instead. It’s not as limiting.
Correct Score
Perhaps you’ll want to get involved in betting on the final score of a game. A variety of odds will be provided on options like 0-0, 1-0, 1-1, 0-1 and so on. If you think you’ve got what it takes to predict the score in an upcoming match accurately, then this is quite the ideal market for you to get involved in.
Player To Be Carded
Perhaps you know about one or more players’ attitudes when they’re on the pitch, and so you think they’ll be on the receiving end of a yellow card or possibly a yellow and a red card. To try and be a little more successful with this market, you can also check into the tendencies of the referees in the respective matches they’re involved in. Some are harsher than others, so just be sure you know as much as possible about them.
Double Chance
Operating in a similar way to the final result or outright winner market, the double chance gives you the opportunity to back two outcomes of a game. You’ll be given the chance to back Team A and a Draw, Team B and a Draw or Team A and Team B. This way, you have the opportunity to back both the favourite and the underdog, but keep in mind that odds won’t be quite as good as with a standard match winner bet.
European Handicap
Many sportsbooks also offer betting odds on the Europa League with European handicaps in place. With this, one side will begin with a pre-determined goal advantage. This can be quite a lucrative market for those teams that are considered heavy favourites, but also for those that are notable underdogs. Should you want to bet on the clear frontrunner, then handicap bets are ideal.
Asian Handicap
Another handicap bet that you can place is the Asian handicap. This is not too dissimilar to the one mentioned above, but there is one distinctive difference. Asian handicap is aimed to eliminate draws from the final result.
