UEFA ECL Betting Picks

Since this competition began in 2021-22, two nations have dominated when it comes to winning the UECL title. English clubs have captured the most titles, with two. However, Italian clubs have appeared in a record three finals.

Along with Chelsea, West Ham (2022-23) also brought this title to England. AS Roma won for Italy in 2021-22. The lone outlier was Olimpiacos. The Greek club lifted the UECL trophy in 2023-24.

Crystal Palace (+650)

Led by Austrian manager Oliver Glasner, Palace stunned heavily-favored Manchester City to win the 2025 FA Cup. That was supposed to earn the club a berth in the Europa League. However, since American businessman John Textor had ownership control or influence at both Palace and French club Lyon, UEFA rules stated an owner could have only one club per competition.

— Crystal Palace F.C. (@CPFC) September 20, 2025

Crystal Palace were demoted from the Europa League and put into the Conference League in July. They immediately appealed the bid. It went to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), which ruled in UEFA's favor.

Led by captain Marc Guehi and goalkeeper Dean Henderson, both of them England internationals, Palace is unbeaten this season in the English Premier League with two wins and three draws. The club also beat reigning EPL champions Liverpool in the FA Charity Shield. That's Liverpool's only defeat this season.

Fiorentina (+650)

No side has played in more UECL finals than Fiorentina. The Italian club was in the 2022-23 and 2023-24 title matches. And no club has lost more UECL finals than Fiorentina. West Ham beat them 2-1 in 2023. Olimpiacos won 1-0 over Fiorentina in extra time in the 2024 final.

Manager Stefano Pioli's side has played 40 Conference League games. That's four more than any other side. They have scored 92 goals in the competition, 41 more than anyone else. Fiorentina is led by Moise Kean, Edin Džeko, Albert Gudmundsson, and new signing Roberto Piccoli.

Strasbourg (+700)

This will be the first UECL appearance for the French side. Strasbourg has taken part in 52 European games since 1961.

Rayo Vallecano (+700)

Just the third Spanish side to play in this competition, Rayo Vallecano is back in Europe for the first time since playing in the 2000-01 UEFA Cup.

Spain's Real Betis lost 4-1 to Chelsea in last year's UECL final.

Shakhtar Donetsk (+900)

Also in the UECL for the first time, Shakhtar Donetsk currently owns a share of the Ukrainian Premier League lead with Dynamo Kiev. Each club shows 14 points from 4-2 records. Dynamo Kiev (+2200) is also entered into the UECL.

Shakhtar Donetsk plays Scotland's Aberdeen on Match Day 1. The club was UEFA Cup champions in 2009.

AZ Alkmaar (+1000)

A consistent presence in this event, the Dutch club is playing in the UECL for the fourth time in five years, and is returning following a one-year absence. AZ Alkmaar previously participated in 2021-22, 2022-23, and 2023-24.

AZ Alkmaar reached the semifinals in 2022-23, bowing out to eventual champions West Ham United.

Best UECL Prop Bets

In UEFA ECL prop bets, Crystal Palace is the +275 betting pick to be in the final. You'll get odds of +300 on Fiorentina reaching a third UECL final, or a betting line of +350 if you go with Strasbourg getting to the final for the first time.

Rayo Vallecano and Shakhtar Donetsk are both given +450 odds in this betting market. Mainz (+500), AZ Alkmaar (+550) and Dynamo Kiev (+900) are all assigned betting lines shorter than +1000 to reach the final.

Perhaps you prefer to get longer odds on your UECL prop wagers. Among the 36 clubs entered in the competition, Malta's Hamrun Spartans (+15000) and Lincoln Red Imps FC of Gibraltar (+25000) offer the longest betting lines on the board to be final participants.

Lincoln Red Imps FC are +100000 to win the UECL title.
