The UEFA Europa league is the second most prestigious European club competition. It involves teams from the domestic leagues around Europe that finish high in their divisions, but not high enough for a place in the UEFA Champions League. The exact qualifying criteria varies between different countries, with many domestic cup winners also qualifying.

The format of the Europa league is quite a complicated one. The qualifying round is expanded to include those teams that were knocked out in Champions League qualifying rounds. In addition to the winners of the Europa League qualifying round, the 10 losers from the final round of Champions League qualifying join the main Europa League. The main part of the competition begins with group matches, with all the clubs being put in 12 groups of four teams. The clubs in each group play each other home and away and the top two teams then advance to the knock-out stages, along with the 3rd placed teams from the Champions League groups. The competition then progresses in a two-leg (home and away) knock-out tournament format down to the final, which is a single match played at a pre-selected neutral venue.

The complicated and varied structure of the Europa League and its status as the second best European club competition mean that there are many different betting opportunities. As well as betting on the outcome of matches, their half-time scores and a wide range of in-play options, there is also the potential to win a long odds bet by predicting the final positions of the teams in the group stages. Finally, there is the opportunity to predict the winners. As the Europa League competition has proved to be quite unpredictable over the years, with a wide variety of winners, there are some excellent odds available.
