Champions League teams that finish third in their group enter the EUROPA cup after the group stage.

Final Word
The odds will fluctuate as the tournament progresses so look out for value at this stage and cover (insurance) bets as the tournament progresses. The odds will especially fluctuate after the group stages and may even lengthen when the Champions League teams enter.
When gambling on individual matches it is sensible to monitor injuries to star players that may affect team performances and also monitor weather conditions – a team with 6 South Americans, is not going to perform so well on a snowy November Tuesday night in a Russian stadium.
English teams will also often field weakened teams in the group stages so you can expect away draws or even surprise losses. Finally, an interesting stat is that since 2012 only a Spanish team or an English team have won the EUROPA League.
