The UEFA Europa competition draw for the season is out already. Bookmakers have drawn various bookings on numerous teams, with teams such as Tottenham, As Roma, Ajax, and Manchester United competing. The just-concluded transfer market has seen innumerable exchanges of players and potentials among clubs, part of which is representing the beauty of the game. However, the new competition format came along with specific changes, including eradicating a previously existing group-stage playoff among clubs. Can Tottenham Hotspur live up to the billing and win this season’s Europa League title? Below are the odds table and analyses of the top clubs.
Bet on UEFA Europa League with Bet365UEFA Europa League New Format
The Europa League will take a new format this season, just like the Champions League. The League, which used to be a 32-team tournament, will now have 36 teams. The new format will have a single league table, where each team will play eight matches against different home and away opponents. The first eight teams will make the round of 16, and the teams that make the ninth up to the twenty-fourth position will play a two-legged knockout to add another eight teams to the round of 16. Teams making 25th and below are eliminated from the competition. The round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals will follow the same format as it was. This new format allows each team to prove themselves on a more worthy challenge.

Odds from Bet365 as of 8th August 2024.
Bet on UEFA Europa League with Bet365Manchester United
Manchester United are getting their glory days back as the biggest club in England. The Red Devils secured a spot in European competition despite finishing in 8th place last season. After winning the FA Cup final against Manchester City, Manchester United was in the abyss of playing in European competition and with a history of a rich Europa League play, winning the trophy in 2016/2017, reaching the final in 2020/2021, and recently, in 2022/2023, reaching the quarter-finals before getting knocked out.
Man United Coach Erik ten Hag got the backing he wanted, from player signings to great backroom staff. He also has a record of winning one silverware per season since joining the Manchester Red—the best record after city rivals Manchester City. With this, I expect Erik ten Hag to win this title.
Bet: Manchester United to Win the Europa League at 6.00 oddsTottenham FC
After a season of no European competition, Tottenham returned, securing a place in the Europa League, with a club history of winning the title twice and reaching the final of the Champions League in 2019. Spurs are expected to reach the finals of this season’s Europa League, and with the presence of players like Heung-min Son, Spurs can put a stop to their trophy drought by winning the 2024/2025 Europa. However, it will be a hard bone to crack due to the calibre of teams that are currently in the competition. Regardless, a top 8 finish is certain at 1.33 odds, and there is a high possibility of the team getting to the final.
Bet: Tottenham to reach final at 3.75 oddsGalatasaray
Galatasaray made a surprising move for the current African best player, Victor Osimhen, which has commanded the fans' love and renewed support. Osimhen, who won the Scudetto for Napoli in 2023 after 30 years of wait, is expected to add lots of value to the team.
Bet: Galatasaray to finish top eight 2.50 oddsAthletic Bilbao
The Athletic Club are stacked with youngsters with ambitions and hunger to win rather than just to play for the funds. With a mix of both youngsters taking the team to the highest highlight of football, which is to win trophies, we also have veterans whose experience serves as a critical backbone in the pursuit of silverware. The likes of Inaki Williams, Nico Williams, Ander Herrera, and Iker Munian, with other young prospects and veterans, are expected to take the team to the quarter-final.
Bet: Athletic Bilbao to finish top eight 1.90 oddsTop Eight Finishers
The Europa League is expected to be full of actions from various European clubs this season. Fenerbahçe got a new coach, José Mourinho, and Galatasaray added the best African player, Victor Osimhen, to the team. It will be a survival of the fittest, and the clubs below are likely to make the top 8.
