Europa League odds

Leicester City are the clear favourites to win the Europa League, ahead of the draw later this morning.  

Brendan Rodgers side are the 12/1 market leaders, narrowly ahead of Italian outfits Napoli (14/1) and Lazio (16/1).  

The other Premier League representative in West Ham are considerably longer in the betting, currently priced at 25/1 fourth favourites. 

A host of top European sides are next in the betting, with Lyon (25/1), Real Sociedad (25/1) and Bayer Leverkusen (25/1) all the same price.  

Eintracht Frankfurt (28/1), Real Betis (33/1) and Marseille follow next, rounding off the group of teams shorter than 50/1.  

Despite reaching the last 16 in the previous season’s campaign, Rangers are 66/1 to win the Europa League, followed by Celtic at 66/1.  

At the bottom of the market, Rapid Vienna (125/1) and Antwerp (150/1) are the least likely in the betting, according to the bookies.  

Oddschecker spokesperson Callum Wilson: "The Europa League market is fascinating this year, with perhaps the most eye-catching thing being West Ham sitting as third-favourites to win a major European trophy. 

"David Moyes' men have started their Premier League campaign off nicely, and Hammers fans would like nothing more than a prolonged European adventure alongside it.”
