UEFA Champions League Betting Picks

Paris Saint-Germain's win last year marked the first time in 15 years that the UEFA Champions League winner wasn't from Spain, England, or Germany. You have to go back over 20 years to find back-to-back seasons in which one of those three nations didn't win the UCL.

Barcelona (+600)

The combination of veteran Robert Lewandowski and phenom Lamine Yamal forms a potent scoring partnership. Barcelona has won five UCL titles but none since 2015.

Paris Saint-Germain (+650)

The French club finally got over the top after years of heartbreak. PSG was the first French side to win the UCL since Marseille in 1992-93.

Arsenal (+700)

Exiting in the UCL semifinals and finishing second in the EPL for the second consecutive season, Arsenal seems cursed to forever be a runner-up. Will the summer additions of Viktor Gyokeres and Eberechi Eze finally make the difference?

Liverpool (+700)

Winning the league stage last season, Liverpool made a weak exit in the quarterfinals. The EPL champions retooled, adding Hugo Ekitike, Alexander Isak, Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, and Milos Kerkez through the transfer window. The tragic death of Diogo Jota in a car accident is serving as a motivator.

Real Madrid (+800)

No club has won more UCL titles than the 15 earned by Real Madrid. But this Spanish powerhouse that won in 2021-22 and 2023-24 looked disjointed last season. Chemistry between Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr never seemed to develop.

Manchester City (+900)

The 2022-23 UCL champions are also in the midst of retooling the side. A 1-2 start to the EPL season, the worst-ever under manager Pep Guardiola, indicates that there's still work to be done.

Best UCL Prop Bets

Kairat Almaty is given +125 odds as the favorite to finish at the bottom of the league stage. The club from the Kazakhstan Premier League is in the UCL for the first time. Bayer Leverkussen, Borussia Dortmund, and Juventus are -275 co-favorites to record a finish between 9-24 in league-stage play.

Barcelona is the -225 favorite to be among the top eight finishers in the league stage and the +450 chalk to be the league stage winner. Liverpool and Barcelona are the +275 co-favorites to reach the final. An English club is the even-money favorite to be the UEFA Champions League winner.

Haaland, Mbappe Co-Favorites To Be Top Goal Scorer

Manchester City's Erling Haaland and Real Madrid's Mbappe are the +600 co-favorites to finish as the top goal scorer in this season's UEFA Champions League competition.

Norwegian international Haaland is off to a fast start this season. He's scored three goals in Man City's first three EPL matches. Last year, eight of his 34 goals came in Haaland's nine UCL matches.

In his first season with Real Madrid last year, after transferring from PSG, French international captain Mbappe tallied 44 goals in 59 matches. He netted seven of those goals in Real Madrid's 14 UCL matches.

Liverpool's Mo Salah and Barcelona's Lewandowski are both given betting lines of +800 to be this season's top UCL goal poacher. Salah endured a quiet UCL last season, netting just three goals. His best season with Liverpool in the competition came in 2017-18, when the Egyptian international scored 11 goals.

That's how many goals Polish international Lewandowski scored in this competition last season for Barcelona. England captain Harry Kane (+1000) also scored 11 goals for Bayern Munich.

Barcelona's Raphina and Serhou Guirassy of Borussia Dortmund shared the goal-scoring lead in the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League. Each netted 13 goals. Bettors can access +1600 odds on Raphina and a betting line of +5000 on Guirassy to repeat that performance this season.

UEFA Champions League Betting Pick

PSG will be a tough out as the French side looks to repeat as UCL winners. The club was a loss in the Club World Cup final away from completing an impressive quintet of titles last season.
