2017-18 Champions League Title Odds

The Champions League has entered the Round of 16 stage, headlined by an incredible matchup of Real Madrid vs. PSG. Both clubs have been the top favorites all season, but only one will progress to the semifinal.

The 2017-18 Champions League Final will take place at NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium in Kiev, Ukraine in June of 2018. We’ll continue to update odds throughout the tourney as well as providing betting previews in each round.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TITLE ODDS

  • PSG and Real Madrid will meet in the Round of 16, which means both clubs’ odds to win the title got worse. It’s possibly one of the best Round of 16 matchups this tournament has ever seen. PSG had been the favorites to win the title, but now have the second-best odds at +510. Real Madrid saw their odds increase to +750, fifth-best odds in the field.
  • All five English Premier League teams have odds of +3000 or better to win the title with Man City leading the way at +310. Chelsea are the biggest longshots at +3000.
  • Atletico Madrid were the biggest disappointments this season and failed to reach the knockout stages. They were listed at +1400 to win the Champions League before the tournament started.

Since more than 30% of the teams remaining are from the English Premier League, there are a number of prop bets available at BetOnline on how many will advance to each stage:
