Few nations have won the Europa League in the last 10 years

Spanish teams have frequently lifted the Europa League trophy in the last decade. Over the last ten seasons, 6 of the teams that have won the final were Spanish - 3 were English, and 1 German.

To secure the league, stay competitive and make winning Europa League bets, you need to look at teams in the big leagues that have a large roster — those that can juggle a hectic schedule: league and the national cups on the weekend and the European cup in the middle of the week.

It's crucial to remember that the majority of Europa League matches take place on Thursday nights, with a week between the first and second leg. The two preferred times are 7 pm and 9 pm for Europa League matches.

Recommended betting for the Europa League

Going forward, the away goals rule has been abolished. This promises more competitive matches. We recommend betting on knockout matches with more than 2.5 goals scored, especially for the return matches and with teams that have a winning mentality capable of turning match scenarios in their favour.

Betting on the winner of the Europa League

For long-term betting on the winner of this season's Europa League, it is best to wait and choose from the teams still in the tournament following the end of the group stage.

The favourites in the competition are often the teams that have just been drafted out of the C1 Champions League. The winner of the Europa League gets a place in the next edition of the Champions League.
