The first round of the UEFA Europa League play-offs ended last week and the draw for the 1/8 finals of the Europa Cup was held. At the end of the group stage, the best teams will meet the winners of the 1/16 finals and the first favorites for the title have already been revealed.
The betting company Betsity has set the odds of who will win the second most important European tournament in the 2021/22 season. You can see them on the bookmaker’s website, and for those who can not find it, it is available on the RB portal Betsy working mirror.
The selection of teams for the 1/8 finals looks impressive for the Europa League – some of them are worthy of playing in the Champions League play-offs in terms of composition and play, so LE promises us something interesting this season.
As expected, bookmakers consider Barcelona to be the main favorite – their chances of winning the final are 4.0. In the eighth final, the Blues will meet Turkish Galatasaray and have an excellent chance to advance. The first round of the playoffs gave football fans a pair worthy of the final – Barcelona – Napoli. Xavi’s team looked very decent in matches with an excellent opponent: the first meeting ended in a draw, 1: 1, but fell behind the obvious advantage of the Catalans, and in the second, Barcelona completely managed and defeated. Neapolitans with the score 4: 2.
Barcelona has good performers in every line. Even Obamayang, whose transfer seemed ambiguous, justifies his move so far – three goals against Valencia in La Liga and one goal in the return match against Napoli.
Sevilla is considered to be the next contender to win the LE – its chances are 6.5. Sevilla is the most titled club in the history of the Europa League, the Andalusians have won this title six times. For several years this team has been approaching the grand or European level, then at least the Spanish level. This season, Julen Lopetegui’s team is close to taking a step forward. Sevilla are second in the Spanish league, ahead of Barcelona and Atletico, but a few points behind Real Madrid. If winning the La Liga title is a difficult task for Real Madrid this year, winning the European Cup is a great and real chance to earn a name for themselves.
In the first round, the Andalusians easily defeated Dinamo Zagreb (3: 1 and 0: 1), but in the quarterfinals they will face a serious test – West Ham in London, which also wants a loud announcement.
Two somewhat similar teams have the same chances of success in the Europa League: RB Laipzig (7.0) and Atalanta (9.0). Both teams play good offensive football under intense pressure and have both strengths and weaknesses in the teams. A significant difference can be seen in the team mentors: if Leipzig has been led by the young and energetic Domenico Tedesco since December, then Atalanta has been led by 64-year-old disciple Jan Piero Gasperini for six years. Now. The confrontation between these two coaches promises a battle of youth and experience.
With all due respect to Spartak, it is worth acknowledging that Atalanta took on a tougher opponent in the quarter-finals and one of the toughest draws – Bayer Leverkusen. Leipzig, in turn, will have an advantage in matches with the Moscow team, as the first game will be held in Germany, the second – on a neutral field.
The odds of several clubs simultaneously being considered by bookmakers are close: West Ham (15.0), Porto (15.0), Betis (17.0), Lyon (17.0), Bayer Leverkusen (19.0) and Monaco (20.0).
