Chelsea’s odds of winning the UEFA Championship
The world may have been shook by the COVID-19 pandemic, but our favorite sports are back! Now that our athletes have been cleared to compete again, we’ve also been cleared to take our chances and place our bets on our favorite teams, hoping that we share their victories, albeit in monetary form.
The UEFA Champions League returns for another season, marking the 66th season of Europe’s premier football club tournament.
Although the final match of the tournament to be held in Istanbul is a little way down the road at May 2021, who’s stopping us supporting our favorite team’s championship aspirations and putting our money behind them as early as now?
Sportsbettingdime’s opening odds currently have Bayern Munich and Man City as favorites, both with +450 odds to bring home the title.
Six-time title winner and current defending champs Bayern Munich are poised to make a repeat as they have retained the core that beat Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 at the league’s previous final.
On the other hand, Man City, despite their tumultuous banning saga with UEFA, is also primed to make a deep run at the tournament, having made some moves during the transfer window while still pushing for ways to strengthen their formidable lineup.
Betting on favorites, however, may be boring for some. First, neither of the two might be your favorite team, and it may amount to betrayal for you to root for the favorites just for a quick buck. Second, +450 odds may be too low for some. There’s no thrill in making just almost five times of your money if you can make bigger bank by betting on other teams.
This is why Chelsea fans are up for a treat. The London-based club is currently at +2000 odds to take home the UEFA Champions League title. For now, it might be a long shot indeed, but the club has made some big moves over the summer that may or may not lead them to experiencing the glory of 2012 all over again.
Chelsea didn’t hesitate to splurge on shoring up their lineup, having already spent more than a whopping $250 million to sign a number of high-profile players, including up-and-comers Timo Werner from RB Leipzig and Kai Havertz from Bayer Leverkusen. Rest assured that the club will do everything in its power to make sure that $250 million invoice is worth it.
The squad is definitely deep enough to make a decent run in the Champions League, but the question is if they have enough firepower to go all the way. That’s something for the future to answer but Chelsea fans and thrill-seeking bettors alike may already answer the question for themselves today.
It would indeed take a lot of fortitude not only for Chelsea to win the title, but also for fans to put their money behind the yet unproven squad. But +2000 odds might make it all worth it. For prospective bettors who want to put their money on the line as early as now and pray that Chelsea’s run at the UEFA Champions League will bring them wealth and glory, visit www.lines.com to see the best bets in the world of sports.
