The UEFA Champions League pits some of the world’s greatest football teams against one another and as a result, is of huge interest to football bettors. Here are our best bets and predictions for the UEFA Champions League. 

How to pick a Champions League bet

It’s slightly different than tipping in domestic leagues as often these teams go years without playing each other, rather than playing multiple times a season. Our specialists focus in on their respective teams’ statistics, team news, form and other trends to make sure our tips are as strong as possible. You’ll see our in-depth Champions League game predictions and team stats above.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Champions League work?
arrow down

Prior to the tournament starting properly, some teams will play qualifiers to get into the UEFA Champions League, while higher-ranked teams are placed straight into the group stage.

Once the qualifiers are over, the group stages take place with eight groups of four teams playing mini-leagues. Each team plays everyone in their group twice, home and away. The top two qualify for the knockout rounds. There is an advantage to finishing in first place; you’ll then be seeded for the knockouts and play a team in the next round that qualified in second position.

There are three knockout stages before the Champions League Final: last 16, quarter-finals, and semi-finals. Each tie is made up of two legs, one home and one away. The final is a standalone one-off game.
