How to Find a Champions League-Winning Bet
Football betting and UEFA Champions League predictions can be difficult, but by doing some research and taking certain factors into consideration before making your selections, you can maximise your chances of success. Here are a few things to consider having a winning bet in the Champions League in terms of a match result.
-
Form – How has the team you are wanting to back performed domestically in recent weeks. If a team has been going through a difficult period in the league you may be less inclined to plump for them to win a Champions League tie. Champions League recent form, goal scoring trends, clean sheets record all need to be considered, along with Champions League head to head stats, historical matchups.
-
Venue - In the latter stages particularly, the venue can play a large part in influencing the result of a football game. Hostile environments that players are not used to such as travelling to take on Galatasaray can often be difficult for teams from other countries. Champions League home advantage statistics, home win percentages are key here.
-
Game Context – Has the team you are wanting to place a bet on already qualified for the knockout stage and doesn’t necessarily ‘need to win’?
Is the tie played over two legs? Does one team have an advantage from the first leg?
These are questions which you should look at to be able to give context to the game ahead and make better decisions that hopefully lead to a winning bet. Champions League fixture congestion, upcoming matches, rest days, travel distance can impact the odds available.
Mistakes to Avoid for Your Champions League Predictions
To give yourself the best chance of success with your Champions League predictions today, try to avoid these common mistakes.
-
Check Team News – Football managers often rotate their starting XI and waiting until team news is announced an hour before kick-off allows you to see if any unexpected changes have been made with Champions League player injuries and player fitness.
-
Shop Around – Bookmaker prices can vary quite drastically. Here at bettingodds we provide a comparison of odds from a wide range of bookmakers. Over the long-term, taking the best price available should help to maximise any potential profits.
