Betting the 2024–25 UEFA Champions League Odds

The next 10 days or so are going to be huge for the teams that are still involved in the Champions League.

The league phase of the tournament is over, with the top 8 teams now getting a break as they wait to see who they will play in the Round of 16.

The new tournament format takes another twist, with the teams that finish 9 through 24 going into a playoff to decide the next 8 teams to move on.

These games will be played over two legs, home and away, with the aggregate winners going into the pot for the next round.

With all of that said, let’s take a look at the 8 games coming our way this week, with predictions for all.

After that, we will get into how to wager on these games, as well as the overall odds to win the Champions League.

Writer’s Picks for the Champions League Games

Betting UCL Round of 16 Games

Brest Vs PSG

Stade municipal de Roudourou, Guingamp, France
Tuesday February 11, 2025

These are a pair of teams familiar with one another given that they both play in Ligue 1 in France.

It probably comes as no surprise to learn that PSG have dominated this matchup over the years, with their last visit to Brest ending in a 5-2 win.

Besides taking PSG to win this one, I would also look at the over, as this is a matchup that always seems to deliver a lot of goals.

Game Score Prediction: Brest 1 Vs 3 PSG
UCL Pick: PSG

Juventus Vs PSV

Allianz Stadium, Torino, Italy
Tuesday February 11, 2025

We have a rematch taking place here, with these two teams meeting up in the league phase of the Champions League.

Juventus played at home in that one and cruised to a 3-1 win.

They would certainly be happy with a similar result here, and they are coming in on decent form, winning their last 2 games while outscoring the opposition 7-2.

Game Score Prediction: Juventus 2 Vs 0 PSV
UCL Pick: Juventus

Manchester City Vs Real Madrid

Etihad Stadium, Manchester, England
Tuesday February 11, 2025

This is arguably the biggest game in the playoff stage, as it was expected that both of these teams would easily be in the top 8 in the league.

Both struggled, though, with City barely scraping their way into this stage of the tournament.

City has been awful over the last couple of months, and while Madrid have been up and down, they have been better of late.

Game Score Prediction: Manchester City 1 Vs 2 Real Madrid
UCL Pick: Real Madrid

Sporting CP Vs Borussia Dortmund

Estádio José Alvalade, Lisbon, Portugal
Wednesday February 12, 2025

This is arguably one of the toughest playoff matchups to predict, as these teams strike me as being rather evenly matched.

Sporting started the tournament well, but they fell off the pace after seeing their manager leave to take over at Manchester United.

Dortmund has been unpredictable all season long and are coming off a loss over the weekend.

Game Score Prediction: Sporting CP 1 Vs 1 Borussia Dortmund
UCL Pick: Borussia

Brugge Vs Atalanta

Jan Breydelstadion, Brugge, Belgium
Tuesday February 11, 2025

This is the first ever meeting between these clubs, so it should be an interesting one to check out.

Neither team is playing particularly well right now, but Atalanta is coming off a big weekend where they racked up an impressive 5-0 road win in Serie A.

Brugge snapped a 4-game winless streak with a win over the weekend.

Game Score Prediction: Brugge 0 Vs 2 Atalanta
UCL Pick: Atalanta

Celtic Vs Bayern Munich

Celtic Park, Glasgow, Scotland
Tuesday February 11, 2025

This is a surprising matchup in a couple of different ways.

Celtic were not given much hope of progressing out of the league stage, while many believed that Bayern Munich would finish in the top 8 and get an automatic spot in the playoff round.

It is never easy to go to Glasgow and get a win, but I think that’s exactly what Bayern will do.

Game Score Prediction: Celtic 1 Vs 3 Bayern Munich
UCL Pick: Bayern Munich

Feyenoord Vs Milan

Stadion Feijenoord, Rotterdam, Netherlands
Tuesday February 11, 2025

Once again, we have another matchup between a pair of teams that have never met in the past.

Feyenoord snapped a 3-game losing skid with a win over the weekend, but their 6-1 loss to Lille in their last Champions League game cannot be ignored.

Milan has 2 wins and a draw in their last 3 games and should be high on confidence heading into this one.

Game Score Prediction: Feyenoord 0 Vs 2 Milan
UCL Pick: Milan

Monaco Vs Benfica

Stade Louis-II, Monaco, France
Tuesday February 11, 2025

These two teams do have a history against one another in European competitions, including meeting in the league phase this season.

Benfica has 3 wins and a draw against Monaco in the 4 meetings, although it has to be said that things tend to be close.

The earlier meeting in the league phase ended in a 3-2 win for Benfica.

Game Score Prediction: Monaco 1 Vs 2 Benfica
UCL Pick: Benfica

Let’s Talk About Champions League Futures

Besides the individual games in the Champions League, we also have several different futures bets that we can talk about.

Of course, the overall winner is the best that most people are probably interested in, but we will get to that, as well as the odd in that category, in a moment.

For now, we are going to look at some of the other futures that you can wager on right now, so let’s get to it.

Part of the fun of the Champions League is seeing teams from different nations go head-to-head, but which country has the best teams?

2025 Champions League Betting Odds

There are a couple of different wagers here, starting with a final that features teams from the same nation, such as:

Even if we don’t get a final that features teams from the same nation, you can still wager on which country will be the home of the eventual winner.

The UCL odds here are as follows:

Bet on the UCL Round of 16 Games

You can also do a YES or NO bet on each team reaching the Round of 16, so be sure to look at the matchups listed above as you try to figure out which 8 teams will be joining the 8 that have already clinched their spots.

Besides the team wagers, there are a couple of different individual player futures that you can get in on now, although the odds for these are not as great as they would have been had you placed these wagers at the start of the competition.

We are talking about individual goals and assists in the tournament, but while some picks seem obvious.

Keep in mind that a player at or near the top right now might be about to make an exit from the competition, which means they cannot pad those stats.

Here are the current odds for goals and assists, as well as the current number each player on the board has at this stage of the tournament:

Champions League Odds to Win and Prediction

It would be easy to suggest that the teams who landed in the top 8 in the league phase, getting an automatic spot in the next round in the process, would be the favorites to win this tournament.

That does seem like clear thinking, but there are some teams in the playoff stage that cannot be ignored, including the current champion, Real Madrid.

I do have a definite opinion on who I believe will hoist the iconic trophy later this year, but before I make my pick, let’s take a look at the current odds:

The interesting thing here is that 3 of the 5 teams at the top of the bookies board will be playing in the playoff, which includes two of them, City and Madrid, going head-to-head.

MyBookie’s Picks in the Next UCL Knockout Phase Play-offs

I like Real Madrid to win that contest over the 2 legs, which eliminates Manchester City.

I also don’t trust Arsenal to win a major competition, so they are out, in my humble opinion.

What I do believe is that the winner will come from that group of 5, and for me, there is a very obvious choice.

Barcelona can score a ton of goals, but they have been inconsistent on defense, which has hurt their results.

Real Madrid has also not looked anywhere near as good as the team that won it all last year, but they still have to be seen as a legitimate threat.

That leaves Liverpool, who cruised through the league phase and finished at the top.

Going out of the FA Cup over the weekend may prove to be a blessing in disguise, as it loosens their load a little.

They are a team with almost zero weaknesses, which is why I think Liverpool wins the Champions League this season.
