Champions League Odds 2023
The odds-on favourite to win the 2023 Champions League is Man City at odds of 4/6. Pep Guardiola’s Man City side have come so close in this competition before but have never been able to get their hands on the title. They could complete a historic treble if they win in Istanbul this June.
Second favourite in the betting for this year’s Champions League is Real Madrid. The Spanish giants are 10/3 in the betting to defend their title and if they can get past Man City in the semi-final they will almost certainly go into the final as odds-on favourites.
Next in the betting is Inter Milan at odds of 13/2 to win this year’s Champions League. Inter are bidding to win their first Champions League title since 2010.
The least likely champions of Europe according to the latest betting odds is AC Milan who come in at odds of 15/2 to beat Inter Milan and then either Man City or Real Madrid and lift the trophy in Istanbul.
