Champions League 2024-25 favorite

Liverpool (+400)
 

Liverpool are becoming like a runaway train. They are trading at a minus in the Premier League odds and now have become favorites to win the Champions League as well.

The Reds' win over Real Madrid was a microcosm of the team's entire campaign so far. They have played another match shutting down some of the most dangerous players in European soccer. Following that impressive win, the Reds followed up with another clean sheet victory over Girona on Matchday 6.

The only danger for Liverpool is that they may run out of steam, performing at such a high level in two major competitions. At this stage, they look the favorites, but there is still a long way to go.

Best odds: +400 via bet365 | Odds: 20%

My team to watch in the Champions League
Man City (+700)

This is the worst result for Manchester City since Guardiola took charge of the team in 2016. It's too early to say that this is the end of City's dynastic streak, but a streak of one win in nine matches is unheard of. I can safely say that this is no longer just a slump.

While the significance of Rodri's injury cannot be overstated, City should be good enough to get wins in the absence of their supporting midfielder. But that hasn't happened.

Things got even worse and more disgusting in Week 6. A 2-0 loss to Juventus resulted in three consecutive winless games in the Champions League.

If they play the way they are now, I don't think they'll stand a chance in Paris against PSG in the 7th round. In previous years, City have usually gone on an impressive winning streak starting in January. However, the current team is just a shadow of its former self, and no one should expect a repeat of this usual scenario.

Best odds: +700 at DraftKings | Estimated odds: 12.50%.

Changes to the Champions League 2024-25 format

There have been major changes to the group stage of the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League. We are now treated to a single 36-team league stage, with each team facing eight different teams (four home, four away).

The top eight teams directly qualify for the Round of 16. The teams ranked ninth through 24th will then meet in an elimination playoff, from which eight more teams will advance. Once those 16 teams are determined, the playoffs will turn into a straight knockout, as they have in previous years.

How to read Champions League title odds

Champions League odds reflect the probability that each Champions League team will win the championship and are usually presented in American odds format (+XXX). Lower odds indicate favoritism, while higher odds indicate outsider status.

A team with +750 odds will win the Champions League with an 11.76% probability of winning, while a $10 bet will yield a $75 profit if they win. A team with +1500 odds has higher or longer odds and a lower implied probability of 6.25%, but a win on a $10 bet would yield a profit of $150.

When evaluating odds, bettors should consider team results, lineups, injuries and historical trends. People can make informed betting decisions during the Champions League season by comparing odds at different sportsbooks.
