Once overshadowed by the Champions League, the Europa League has now become one of the most prestigious club competitions on the continent as 36 teams fight it out to claim a coveted piece of European silverware.
Here at interwetten, we’ve long been passionate about this tournament and even offered odds on the UEFA Cup some 12 years before it rebranded to the Europa League in 2009.
Indeed, when we launched our online sports betting operation in 1997, we were one of the only bookmakers to offer markets on the competition.
What does this mean you might ask? The answer is that we understand the unique nature of the Europa League like few others do. This is evident in our extensive betting markets and dynamic odds for Europa League matches as we know all too well that anything can happen in this tournament.
In short, our unrivalled experience makes our claim to be the home of Europa League betting an indisputable one.
Over this betting guide, we’ll walk you through the different Europa League betting odds and markets you’ll find at interwetten, as well as provide helpful tips when betting on this tournament.
How to read Europa League odds
Reading UEFA Europa League odds correctly is crucial when making educated bets. However, it's fairly straightforward to grasp if you remember this simple formula: lower odds represent a more likely outcome while higher odds indicate a less probable result.
For example, let’s consider some hypothetical Europa League odds for the outright winner where Tottenham Hotspur are at 2.88 to win the competition while Qarabag are at 201.
Spurs’ low price suggests that the North London side have a good chance of going all the way, while Qarabag’s high odds indicate that the Azerbaijani side aren’t likely to win the Europa League.
Europa League odds and potential payouts
To determine your potential winnings from a Europa League bet, multiply your stake by the odds you choose.
For instance, if you placed a €10 bet on Tottenham Hotspur to win the Europa League at odds of 2.88, you would calculate your payout by multiplying €10 by 2.88. This would give you an overall return of €28.80 and a profit of €18.80.
Europa League winner odds
The Europa League outright winner odds reflect the likelihood of each club winning the tournament. These odds will naturally change as the competition progresses and teams are eliminated.
In other words, the earlier you pick a potential outright winner, the more value you’re likely to receive.
Should you correctly select the eventual winner from the latest odds in the Europa League winner market, then we will pay you out at the odds you place your bet.
Odds on the Europa League Final
Reaching the final of the Europa League is no mean feat as clubs have to see their way through the group stages before running the gauntlet of knockout football where upsets frequently happen.
Here at interwetten, we give you the chance to bet on which club might successfully do this by reaching the final of the Europa League. Throughout the season, you’ll find the latest odds on Europa League final contenders on our site.
In the event you correctly pick the Europa League finalists, we’ll instantly pay you out at the odds you placed your bet.
Europa League Top Scorer Odds
The Europa League is renowned for goals and has been home to some of the deadliest marksmen in the history of the beautiful game like Dennis Bergkamp, Alan Shearer, and recently, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Here at interwetten, we give the chance to bet on the player that you think will score the most goals during the competition.
If your selection finishes as the top scorer in the Europa League or ties for the highest number of goals, we will pay out at the odds you placed your bet.
Europa League live odds
Our live Europa League odds hand the power back to you as we give you the opportunity to place a bet after a game has begun.

Europa League betting tips
Here at interwetten, we strongly advocate making well-informed betting choices that are supported by relevant facts.
This approach extends beyond just football betting; it applies to all sports you find on our website or app.
In other words, whether you're accessing basketball betting odds or exploring tennis betting markets, there is no substitute for doing your homework before placing your bet.
For a successful Europa League betting strategy, you can read match previews and prediction pieces in the lead-up to a fixture.
Essentially, by carefully considering factors such as team performance, player injuries, suspensions, and historical head-to-head results, you’re benefiting from a far more informed picture and are increasing your chances of landing a successful bet.
Of course, while research is always of paramount importance, the reality is that any form of betting carries an element of risk. Indeed, whether you bet on Europa League markets or on our latest casino slots, winning is never guaranteed so always bet with this in mind.
