The European domestic soccer seasons are underway, which means UEFA Champions League is just around the corner!

The group draw took place today, which means we now have a clearer picture of what to expect this Champions League season.

Here are the odds to win each UEFA Champions League group on WynnBET now that the draw has taken place.

Group A

  • PSG +104
  • Manchester City +130
  • RB Leipzig +600
  • Club Brugge +5000

When the groups were originally announced last week, soccer fans thought we'd get to see a Lionel Messi vs Cristiano Ronald matchup in Group A, but Ronaldo shifted from signing with Manchester City at the last moment to return to his former club, Manchester United. Regardless, this group promises to bring fireworks as PSG and Manchester City are two of the most talented soccer clubs in the world.

Group B

  • Liverpool +120
  • Atlético Madrid +200
  • AC Milan +400
  • FC Porto +700

This group features some of the best competition in the league, but Liverpool should still win it. They are the deserving favorites, but Atletico Madrid or AC Milan could give them a run for their money. FC Porto likely won’t win it, but they have an outside shot to finish in second and advance to the knockout stage.

Group C

  • Borussia Dortmund -150
  • Ajax +350
  • Sporting Lisbon +500
  • Besiktas Istanbul +900

Arguably the weakest group of the bunch, Borussia Dortmund should have no issue coming out as victors. Ajax will try to mimic its Cinderella run in 2018-19 when they made it all the way to the semi-finals before losing out to Tottenham.

Group D

  • Real Madrid -275
  • Inter Milano +300
  • FC Shakhtar Donetsk +1100
  • FC Sheriff Tiraspol +7500

Soccer fans will be shocked if this group doesn’t pan out in the exact order that the odds are listed. Real Madrid is a step above the rest, and Inter Milano is leagues ahead of the other two clubs. Don’t expect riveting results among these teams in group play.

Group E

  • Bayern Munich -150
  • Barcelona +210
  • Benfica Lisbon +800
  • FC Dynamo Kiev +2000

Barcelona will try to move on in the post-Messi era, but they shouldn’t have much trouble finishing in second place in this group to advance to the knockout stage. Bayern Munich will be expected to clean sweep the board, but don’t count out a sneaky good Lisbon club.

Group F

  • Manchester United -140
  • Atalanta +300
  • Villarreal +550
  • Young Boys +800

Manchester United is the deserving favorite in this group, but if you’re looking to bet on an upset happening, this could be the one. Not only do I think Atalanta has value at +300, but I think Villarreal from La Liga does as well. Villareal defeated Manchester United in penalties in the Europa League Final last season, and then lost in penalties to Chelsea in the Super Cup, which is the yearly match between the Europa League champion and the Champions League winner. They’re a fantastic value bet to win Group F at +550.

Group G

  • Sevilla FC +160
  • Wolfsburg +275
  • Lille +300
  • FC Salzburg +475

There’s no top contender in Group G, but none of these four teams are a pushover either. Wolfsburg has been trending in the right direction lately, and Lille is coming off a Ligue 1 championship. Those two clubs would be the ones to bet on to win Group G.

Group H

  • Chelsea -125
  • Juventus +140
  • FK Zenit Saint Petersburg +1200
  • Malmo FF +3000

Chelsea is the defending Champions League winner, and they’re a near lock to advance to the knockout stage alongside Juventus. The other two clubs have next to no shot to best these top perennial teams, but it’s a true toss up between Chelsea and Juventus for who will claim the top spot.
