Europa Conference League Predictions and Betting Tips

Europa Conference League Predictions

In the 2023/24 season, another team from Serie A managed to reach the final of the UEFA competition. We always had high expectations from Premier League teams, but they always prove that they are the top league with Manchester City being the best team in the world. West Ham is their representative in the Conference League.

The 2024/25 season has a few changed in the format and this will probably affect your betting decisions. It’s the perfect time to check what our experts think about it and how they manage their bets.

Teams Competing in Europa Conference League

Compared to the other two European competitions, the Champions League and the Europa League, no team is able to earn a direct spot in the Europa Conference League. Instead, the top teams from the top five European leagues will still need to qualify through the Play-Off round, something that should greatly be considered in our Europa Conference League predictions.

A lot of teams will have the opportunity to play in the UEFA Europa Conference League because everyone who loses in the knockout stages will be transferred to the ECL. Everything depends on the league but it was meant for the teams that couldn’t reach the top UEFA Europa leagues to get some experience in European competitions. This also means that the Europa Conference League predictions are a bit harder compared to CL and EL, but not for our expert tipsters.

Europa Conference League Competition Format

Starting from the 2024/25 season, the Europa Conference League will feature a new format. The number of participating teams will increase to 36, all competing in a single league table. Each team will play six matches against different opponents (three home and three away). Teams will be seeded into four pots, and will face two teams from each pot.

The top eight teams from the league phase will automatically advance to the round of 16. Teams ranked 9th to 24th will enter playoffs to secure the remaining eight spots in the round of 16. These changes aim to enhance competition and provide broader opportunities for clubs across Europe.

Conference League Stats

Here’s a breakdown of key stats for the UEFA Europa Conference League:

Average Goals per Match:

The UEFA Conference League tends to have a relatively high average goals per match, around 2.82 goals per game in the group and knockout stages. This suggests matches often see a fair share of goals, especially with teams from lesser-known leagues participating.

Clean Sheet Percentage:

The clean sheet percentage is lower compared to the Champions League or Europa League, sitting around 25%. This indicates that many teams struggle defensively, especially when facing more experienced European sides.

Failed to Score (FTS) Percentage:

On average, about 22-23% of teams fail to score in the Conference League matches. This figure highlights that while there’s a fair number of goals, a decent percentage of teams struggle in attack, particularly those from smaller footballing nations.

Points per Game (PPG) for Group Stage Top Teams:

The top teams in the group stages typically accumulate around 2.35 PPG, similar to the Europa League. Dominant teams from smaller leagues, or mid-tier clubs from major leagues, tend to perform well against weaker opposition, making them reliable for betting on match outcomes.

These stats provide insight into the Conference League’s goal-scoring patterns and defensive vulnerabilities, making it attractive for “Both Teams to Score” (BTS) or Over/Under markets.

Europa Conference League Past Winners

Being that the Europe Conference League is the youngest European competition, there is not much history that goes along with it. This is going to be only the second season this championship takes place, with Roma being the original winner.

Last season, Jose Mourinho’s Roma ousted Feyenoord in the final held at the Arena Kombetare in Tirana. The Italian giant managed to win their first ever European trophy thanks to an effort from Nicolo Zaniolo in the 32nd minute of the game for a 1:0 Giallorossi win.
