Champions League: Most Popular Markets
One of the most popular Champions League bets is a wager on the team you think will lift the famous trophy. Chelsea will hope to put up a strong defense of their title, but this is Europe’s top competition and the contenders are lining up to dethrone the Londoners.
Paris Saint-Germain are pre-season favourites after securing the signing of Lionel Messi from Barcelona, with 2020 champions Bayern Munich also strong contenders as usual.
Manchester City reached the final for the first time last season, and their short Champions League winner odds reflect their position as one of the growing forces of European soccer.
Many people involved in Champions League betting online will be looking at other English clubs such as Liverpool and Manchester United, both with strong European pedigree, as serious possibilities.
Spanish trio Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona may not look as powerful as in previous seasons, but they will all still be optimistic of making an impact in the tournament.
The list of Champions League odds for the top goalscorer is a who’s who of the world’s greatest strikers.
Erling Haaland took the prize last season with 10 goals, but will face stiff competition from previous winners including Robert Lewandowski, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar.
The likes of Romelu Lukaku, Kylian Mbappe, Mohamed Salah and Bruno Fernandes will also be hoping to take home the prize for the first time in their respective careers.
Many Champions League betting sites offer you the opportunity to win by selecting the two teams who will end up contesting the final in St Petersburg. This is a difficult Champions League bet to get right - not least because some of the main contenders could meet early in the knock-out stages.
But once the draw is made for the last eight it is possible to plot a route for the side you fancy and take advantage of these Champions League final odds.
Champions Chelsea will hope to make it back to the final, while Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Liverpool will all be optimistic of getting there too.
However, the competition in the latter stages of the Champions League is always ferociously intense and the last three seasons have seen teams, in Tottenham, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City, reach the final for the first time in their history.
Champions League Final
Gazprom Arena
Saint Petersburg, Russia

The Gazprom Arena, in St Petersburg, was built for the 2018 World Cup in Russia and has hosted plenty of big games since.
It was due to stage the 2021 Champions League final, but that fixture was switched because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian venue now has the honor in 2022.
