Europa League Outright Odds
The opening knockout round of the Europa League was drawn today. With 8 teams dropping out of the Champions League to join the 24 qualifiers from the group stages there are some strong teams in this competition to make for an exciting knockout stage.
The bookmakers have Liverpool favourites because of their previous record in the Champions League. This year they look dreadful and I don't give them a chance of winning this tournament. Their odds are far too short to touch. The value is currently with reigning holders Shakhtar Donetsk, while many people are liking Benfica because of their performances over Everton in the group stage. None of the Spanish and German teams should be ignored either but I have to question how seriously Juventus and Liverpool will take this competition with pressure on them in their own domestic leagues. Here are the favourites amongst other selected teams I am not completely writing off with the best places to find the best odds:
Liverpool 13/2 Totesport
Valencia 12/1 Stan James
Juventus 14/1 VC Bet
Benfica 14/1 Bet365
Shakhtar Donetsk 14/1 Bet365
Roma 16/1 Stan James
Hamburg 16/1 Paddy Power
Werder Bremen 16/1 Bet365
Villarreal 25/1 Stan James
Marseille 22/1 Stan James
Everton 25/1 Skybet
Galatasaray 25/1 Bet365
Rubin Kazan 33/1 Ladbrokes
Atletico Madrid 33/1 Stan James
Wolfsburg 33/1 Boylesports
Athletico Bilbao 50/1 Skybet
Salzburg 661/1 Skybet
