Europa League Winners Odds

Here we take a look at the Europa League's winners' odds for the 2024-25 season following the conclusion of the summer transfer window.

Spurs are coming into this season's competition as the bookies' favourites. Under Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham have big expectations after spending a large sum of money in the summer, even if some of the arrivals were young players.

At least in terms of performances, Spurs have had a good start to the season and have shown enough to suggest they can be very competitive if they continue to improve as the season progresses. There are aspects of their play that need to be refined, particularly defensively, but there is plenty to be built on.

The form of Son Heung-min will be important if Tottenham are to win this trophy, as will the contributions of new signing Dominic Solanke, and Spurs are likely to give this competition quite a high priority given their well-publicised struggles to win a trophy, a duck they'll be desperate to finally break.

Erik ten Hag's men are in as second favourites at 11/2. United's fortunes are very tough to predict given how hot and cold they blow but they'll feel like they're well set up to be successful in tournaments, which last season's FA Cup win - mainly the performance in the final - would demonstrate.

United won this competition in 2016-17 but will want to avoid a repeat of the 2022-23 season where they were hammered 5-2 by Sevilla, and the 2020-21 season where they lost to Villarreal in the final.

United's mid-term prospects are still very uncertain this season so it's hard to say how justified their value placement is here, but if they play to their potential then they have every chance.

Danielle De Rossi's Roma side are looking to right the wrongs of last season and claim what would be a first-ever Europa League trophy.

Roma saw a marked improvement in their performances after De Rossi took the reigns midway through last season but their Europa League bid was ended in the semi-finals with a 4-2 aggregate defeat to Bayer Leverkusen.

This season, Roma had very high hopes of continuing their progression under their former captain, but their start to the season has been very unconvincing, with the team putting in a number of poor performances.

Roma have more than enough quality to win this competition but they're going to have to improve on their early season showings as a collective.

Real Sociedad come into this competition as a team fancied as outsiders. The Spanish side finished 6th in La Liga and have some top-quality players, most notably Spanish international midfielder Martín Zubimendi and Japanese winger Takefusa Kubo.

The team were hurt in the summer by the departures of centre-back Robin Le Normand and midfielder Mikel Merino, who departed to Atlético Madrid and Arsenal respectively.

Their start to the season has been slow and much of that could be adapting to life without the two aforementioned names. It feels likely La Real will improve as the season progresses, and if they hit top form they could be a real threat in this competition.

Portuguese giants Porto are looking for a first European trophy since 2005 as they come in at 12/1 for the Europa League title.

Porto finished 3rd in the Primera Liga last season and had a good run in the Champions League too, where they narrowly lost to Arsenal in the last 16 on penalties.

Porto's last 16 showing was very commendable and they gave Arsenal a lot of problems, with manager Sérgio Conceição setting the team up in a very organised and well-drilled fashion.

There's been a fair bit of turnover in personnel over the summer with Francisco Conceição heading to Juventus on loan, Evanilson leaving for Bournemouth, Pepe returning and Mehdi Taremi leaving for Milan.

Porto have added some high-quality replacements through the likes of Samu Omorodion and Fábio Vieira so they don't feel a majorly weakened outfit.

Their chances this season feel very good, and at 12/1 we think they represent good value.

Another Spanish side come next as Athletic Bilbao look to claim what would be a maiden European trophy.

The Basque club finished 5th in La Liga last season while winning the Copa Del Rey, and were it not for a late collapse in form they could have mounted a stronger push for a Champions League spot.

Bilbao are managed by Ernesto Valverde and are a very well-coached unit, and having retained the services of star player Nico Williams over the summer they'll be confident about their prospects this season.

They'll have to fend off some stiff competition if they want to win this trophy, but they could well be in the running come April next year.

Lazio are an outside bet for the Europa League trophy at 16/1. The Serie A side secured a 7th place finish last season, while losing 3-1 on aggregate to Bayern Munich in the last 16 of the Champions League.

The Rome-based club made a number of additions to their squad in the summer, notably Dutch winger Tijjani Noslin from Hellas Verona, while Mattéo Guendouzi's loan move from Marseille was made permanent.

Lazio have made a mixed start to this season and if early performances are anything to go by they'll be a very similar level to the side they were last season.

It will take a huge effort for Lazio to win this trophy but while they are admittedly outsiders, they're by no means ill-equipped to contend.

Ligue 1 side Lyon are considered contenders for this trophy on paper, but right now they look fairly distant outsiders. Lyon have started the season pretty poorly, despite a myriad of incomings in the summer.

Lyon spent big money on the likes of Moussa Niakhaté and Orel Mangala, both fairly questionable signings, while also bringing in players like Wilfried Zaha, Jordan Veretout and Tanner Tessmann.

Their start to the season has been less than convincing though, and with reported turmoil in the background it could turn out to be a long season for French side.

They have the players to make noise in this competition, that is not in doubt, but they're going to have to improve as a unit to threaten the better sides.
