Since the draw was made, the UEFA Europa League winner odds have altered slightly, with certain teams being given a perceived ‘easier' route to the knockout stages than others.
Check out the latest Europa League outright winners odds below.
Best UEFA Europa League winner odds – current leaders
Tottenham 11/2
Another ‘Spursy' performance from Tottenham saw them draw 1-1 with Rangers in a game which most would argue the London club probably deserved to lose.
Spurs were behind after a 47th-minute strike from Hamza Igamame before Dejan Kulusevski managed to claw his side back to level pegging.
Ange Postecoglou will be despairing as his team remain ninth on the Europa League table, having not won since their third game in the competition.
They are also no longer favourites to overcome their competition, with Manchester United now viewed to be in the driving seat by odds providers.
At 11/2, Spurs still provide good value, but their waning form should be a worry for punters.
Manchester United – 5/1
Odds shortened to 5/1 for Man United this week after they managed to defeat Viktoria Plzen 2-1 away from home, a victory which marked the club's first European away win since March 2023.
A Rasmus Hojlund brace capped a monumental win for Ruben Amorim's side, after United initially fell behind to a goal from former Burnley striker Matej Vydra.
Backing them now would be the best choice, as their odds will likely continue to shorten under their new manager, with Man United's price set at 5/1.
Athletic Bilbao – 6/1
Previously under-represented for their chances of winning the Europa League, contenders Athletic Bilbao continued to make their intentions clear with a statement 2-0 win away to Turkish giants Fenerbahce.
The club have won five out of six games in the tournament thus far, and have conceded only twice. Ernesto Valverde's side are emerging as somewhat of a dark horse, given their recent form, and punters should begin to take them seriously as contenders for the trophy.
Given they are also fourth in La Liga, their domestic form is being matched in Europe, so 6/1 is a good price for punters.
Lazio – 9/1
The Europa League's current first-place team are probably the best pick for punters at present at 9/1. Lazio are unbeaten in all six of their Europa League fixtures after defeating Ajax 3-1.
The club's goal difference of +11 also demonstrates the extent to which they have dominated thus far, with 14 goals scored and three conceded, a convincing record backed up by their results.
Surprisingly, the Italian side are still being viewed as rank outsiders, especially since their domestic form has matched their European quality, as they sit three points off the top of the Serie A table.
Punters should look to get behind them now before their price inevitably begins to fall.
Our prediction
Although the UEFA Europa League winner odds suggest that Man Utd and Tottenham are the two favourites to win the competition, we aren't backing either side to lift the trophy in May.
Tottenham have a mental block when it comes to winning trophies and Postecoglou has already proven during his time at the club that he is prepared to sacrifice cup competitions for league progression.
