Odds to Win 2019-20 Europa League: Arsenal Atop Futures

Arsenal FC has struggled in recent Premier League and League Cup action, going winless in three of its past four outings. However, the Gunners have faced no such issues in the early stages of UEFA Europa League play, opening the group stage with a trio of impressive wins that have lifted them to the top of the odds to claim this season’s title as +500 favorites.
Gunners Outclassing Group Stage Competition
The Gunners were dominant in their first two group stage contests, posting clean-sheet victories over both Eintracht Frankfurt and Standard Liege. The club subsequently needed a big second-half comeback to take home a 3-2 victory over Vitoria Guimaraes, but with a perfect 3-0-0 win-draw-loss record and sizable +8 goal differential, Arsenal has vaulted to -2500 chalk to finish atop the Group F table.
But while the Gunners’ fast start leaves them well positioned to make a run back to the Europa League final for a second straight year, they remain closely pursued on the Europa League futures by Manchester United, pegged as +550 second favorites.
Red Devils Defense Rising to the Occasion
While the Red Devils enter the second half of group stage action riding a four-match win streak across all competitions, they have climbed to the top of the Group L table by the narrowest of margins, scoring just two goals while compiling a 2-1-0 record. The Manchester United defense has been stout, keeping clean sheets in each of the club’s first three outings, carrying over a trend from their play in this season’s Premier League where they have allowed just 10 total goals in 10 matches.
However, streaky play remains a major concern for the Red Devils, who have endured winless streaks lasting three or more matches on two occasions so far this season. Manchester United has also been feast or famine in past editions of the Europa League, claiming the tournament title two seasons ago after bowing out in the Round of 16 in their two previous appearances.
Sevilla Poised to Challenge for Record Sixth Title
Further down the Europa League championship odds, Sevilla trails the favorites at +900 odds, ahead of AS Roma at +1400, while the Wolverhampton Wanderers lag at +2000.
Winners of a record five Europa League titles, Sevilla has stormed out of the gate in this year’s tournament, outgunning opponents by a 7-0 margin in three victories, and now sits perched as massive -100000 chalk to win Group A.
