Man City remains UEFA Champions League betting favorites after bright campaign start

Despite failing to retain their European Cup last season, Premier League champions, Man City remain the current bookie’s favorites to win the UEFA Champions League this season – following an impressive start to their campaign.

City, who won the European Cup two seasons ago in a narrow victory against Serie A champions, Internazionale, were drawn against Simone Inzaghi’s side as part of this season’s new tournament format.

And riding an impressive spree of back-to-back wins over both Slovan Bratislava and Sparta Praha following a nil-all draw with the Italian side, Man City can count themselves as decent betting favorites to win the crown this season.

Man City current betting favorites to win UEFA Champions League

Currently boasting favorite odds of -275 to win the UEFA Champions League this season – fans of the massive European competition can find all their champions league betting odds at the link provided, including outright tournament winners, as well as other prop bets and odds on who will scoop the golden boot this season. 

Scoring three times inside the opening three fixtures, Citizen striker, Erling Haaland netting against both Bratislava and then Praha – twice against the latter, having fired a blank in their home fixture against Internazionale.

However, without the injury-ridden midfield maestro, Rodri – who is expected to win the FIFA Ballon d’Or this week, Man City remain heads and shoulders above defending champions, Real Madrid to win the European Cup.

Themselves holding current odds of +350 to retain the UEFA Champions League, following their stunning battering by FC Barcelona in El Clasico over the course of the weekends, odds on the Hansi Flick-led side to end their drought in Europe are sure to drop.

Nine years since their most recent UEFA Champions League victory, La Liga leaders, FC Barcelona can be backed at a current price of +650 to end their drought in European competition – now under the tutelage of high-flying German manager, Flick. 

Dumping Man City out at the quarter-final stage last season with a tense penalty shootout at the Etihad Stadium, Madrid, still under the guidance of decorated Italian head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, the Spanish side would go on to then brush aside both Bayern Munich and then Borussia Dortmund – the latter of which to guide them to another UEFA Champions League trophy win. 

And last season’s finalists, Dortmund – who are without a Champions League win since 1996 when substitute Lars Ricken found the net in some style, are massive outsiders to win the European Cup, with punters and bettors able to catch the Bundesliga side at odds of +2,800. 

Themselves also hoping to snap their winless run in UEFA Champions League competition following their final loss to FC Barcelona in the noughties, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal side look to rebound from a recent falter following a draw with Liverpool, drawing odds of +750 as the current fifth best-rated team to win the European Cup. 

And amid links to a massive move to Man United following the departure of Dutch coach, Erik ten Hag, Sporting Lisbon manager, Ruben Amorim has guided the club to prior Portuguese league success and is +5,000 to win the European Cup.
