The Champions League is the elite club competition in Europe, so how do you know where to look for the best betting site? And what happens if the odds are similar with different bookmakers?

There are a number of other factors that you need to look out for when it comes to Champions League betting.

• Make sure there is an extensive range of betting markets available. You might want to bet on single matches – but you also want a bit of choice as well.
• Promotions are a good sign. There is a lot of competition when it comes to your betting money so make sure you are rewarded by the betting sites you choose. You might find that Champions League matches regularly attract price boosts – or money back options. Make the most from your Champions League betting.

The betting odds are obviously important – but there is lot more besides.

See our best betting sites recommendation.

• Match result – Also known as the 1-x-2 bet, this is possibly the most popular when it comes to a bet on Champions League football. Just predict who will win – or if the game will end in a draw.
• Draw no bet – Give yourself a little more chance with this bet. Pick a winner and keep your stake if the game ends all square.
• Both teams to score – Predict both teams finding the net – or not.
• To win to nil – Think the home team’s keeper is the best in the business? Put your money where your mouth is and bet on a clean sheet.
• Correct Score – For a bigger return go for the correct score bet with your prediction – the odds will be good. You just need to predict the exact score line.

This is where a lot of money goes when it comes to Champions League betting. The outright winner and top goal scorer bet.

• Outright WInner – With so many top class clubs and players there are a number of teams that have a chance of lifting the famous old trophy. Make your selection early to get the best betting odds.
• Top Goalscorer – Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero, Mo Salah – the Champions League is full of goal scoring talent. But who will find the net on the most occasions?

If you want to bet on something a little bit different you could try one of the Champions League betting specials. Ignore the individual games, these bets can cover just about anything.

• English team to win – Liverpool and Spurs made the final last season. Will there be another English champion this time around?
• Stage of elimination – When will a club get knocked out of the competition. Make your prediction on a team’s downfall.
• Pick the winners – Every Champions League match day brings a chance to predict a group of winners. Will all your picks win?
• Group winners – Predict who will finish top of the group and the advantage going into the knock out rounds.

Finding the best betting strategy is key when it comes to the Champions League. One strategy that has become more important in the last few seasons is to bet on a comeback.

It used to be the case that you should almost always bet on whoever scored the first goal in a tie to go through, once we reach the knockout stages. But that has changed recently. It may be that teams are more resilient now – but it is actually more likely for the eventual winners to come from behind.

With more attacking football it follows that there are more away goals. This could be one reason for the trend. But as long as bookmakers still believe that home sides win ties when they go ahead, a good betting strategy is to find the value in the longer odds for a comeback.
