The Conference League is the third-tier competition in European football and the most recently developed addition. The tournament originated in 2021, and no clubs qualify directly for the group/league stage. Instead, teams eliminated from qualifying and playoff rounds of the Europa League compete against those who make it through the Conference League qualifications.
In 2024, the tournament changed its name and format, entering a new era of European competitions with a league structure. Instead of separating teams into multiple smaller groups, they all compete in one group and face more teams during the base stage. After six games each, the 24 top-ranking teams enter the following stages, with the eight best going straight to the round of 16 while the remaining teams battle it out for the remaining eight spots.
Being a part of the elite group makes Conference League odds highly interesting to all football fans across the globe. So, these games are favoured among punters, and football betting is very popular, especially in the elimination rounds.
Bet on the Conference League
Conference League betting works similarly to betting on any other football game or competition. To start, here are some of the main markets available:
- Match Winner
- Match Winner with a Handicap
- Total Goals Scored
- Total Goals Scored By a Team
- Player to Score
- Tournament Winner
- Tournament Top Scorer
‘Match Winner’ and ‘Total Goals Scored’ are the most common bets in football. They are simple to understand even for those who don't follow the sport and often come with good odds. If you're expecting a dominant performance from one team, handicap betting is the best option. Or, if you believe the underdog will put up a fight, the same market should be your choice.
For those who prefer analysing player performances over team results, the 'Player to score' market is perfect. Find the matchup that might provide opportunities for goal scoring, and make your pick.
And, of course, if you wish to have an active parlay throughout the entire competition, betting the outrights is the simplest choice. Choose your winner ahead of the competition, or find a team with potential and predict their title before everyone else.
Conference League Betting Tips
Like with all betting, results require research. To find the best odds for the Conference League, you'll need to learn about the teams and players in the competition.
Before analysing a game, you need to know which national leagues the teams come from and if those countries are known for success in European competitions. Champions League odds and Europa League odds may unveil information about how teams from the same league are doing, and if your teams faced them successfully, they might have a good chance of beating a lower-ranked squad.
Additionally, pay attention to player forms. If a striker hasn't scored any goals in the Conference League so far but had a hattrick over the weekend in the domestic league, this might be his chance. Good form can transfer from one competition to another, so staying up to date with local games can pay off.
Conference League Winner Odds
After six games by each team, we have the 24 best who proceed to the next stage. The top eight teams have the best Conference League odds at a trophy since they already qualified for the round of 16.
The competition winner will qualify for the Europa League 2025/26 unless they also qualify for the Champions League through their domestic competition. So, the stakes are high ahead of every knockout game.
Conference League 2024/25 Predictions
The elimination round of Conference League 2024/25 is about to begin, and the competition has a clear favourite. Chelsea was the most successful team on the league stage, with all wins and a +21 goal difference. If the English club continues this dedication to the Conference League, they will likely add to their trophy case.
Fiorentina is also doing well this season and already has experience in European competitions. If there's one team with a chance to upset a motivated Chelsea squad, it might be Fiorentina.
