The Europa League draw has now been made and all 36 teams competing in the tournament this year now know which eight teams they will be facing in the revamped league stage.
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.
Ahead of matchday one on 25 September, check out the latest Europa League outright winners odds below.
Best UEFA Europa League winner odds- current frontrunners
Tottenham – 9/2
Before the draw was made, Tottenham were the second favourites to win the competition but a combination of a favourable draw and Man Utd's poor start to the season has seen Spurs become the new outright favourites to win the Europa League.
Ange Postecoglou's men haven't been given any overly difficult away matches in the League Stage and will go into every match as favourites. It will therefore be a shock if they fail to finish inside the top eight. Winning any trophy would make Postecoglou an instant Tottenham legend but winning a European one would elevate him to even greater heights.
Man Utd – 11/2
Man Utd are not only the ‘biggest' team in the competition this year but they also know that no other European giants will be joining them after Christmas, as the Champions League ‘drop-down' rule has now been scrapped.
On paper, nobody should be beating Man Utd in the Europa League. But football isn't played on paper as we know, and Erik Ten Hag's current tactical system leaves much to be desired.
The club have won this competition once before, doing so back in 2017. They reached the final again in 2021, but lost on penalties to Villarreal. Winning the FA Cup saved Erik Ten Hag last season, could the Europa League be his insurance policy this time around?
Roma – 9/1
Roma have enjoyed playing in Europe in recent seasons, which makes their status as the third favourites to win the Europa League this season justified. They won the Europa Conference League in 2022 before finishing as runners-up in the Europa League a year later. Last season, they lost in the semi-finals of the competition to Bayer Leverkusen.
Daniele De Rossi has developed a more progressive style of football at the club since replacing Jose Mourinho midway through last season, and he will be keen to see how it matches up against the best teams in the Europa League.
Real Sociedad – 12/1
Real Sociedad have never appeared in a European final before but this could be their year. The best piece of business they completed this summer was keeping hold of Martin Zubimendi amid transfer interest from Liverpool, and the midfielder will be one of the best players to line up in the Europa League this season.
The Basque club haven't started the new La Liga season in brilliant form and have just four points from their opening four matches, but the season is still young and they have enough quality to turn things around.
Porto – 12/1
With Benfica and Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League this season, Porto are the biggest Portuguese club in the Europa League this season and they a strong squad to boot. The loss of Brazilian striker, Evanilson, in the last days of the transfer window was a blow, but they still have enough quality to cause problems for most teams in the competition.
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.
Man Utd, meanwhile, look as big a mess as they did last season, and it will be very difficult to win the Europa League playing the way they do. That said, the latest next manager to be sacked odds indicate that Erik Ten Hag could be out of the door soon, which could change things.
At present, we're backing Roma to win the 2024 Europa League. De Rossi has them playing some brilliant football, and they will be keen to avenge not only their semi-final defeat last season, but also their devastating loss in the final of 2023.
