Champions League Prediction 2025/26
Betting on the Champions League is undoubtedly one of the most popular to place for gamblers for football predictions. The top clubs in Europe will be battling it out to become the winners of the Champions League final. This legendary competition is considered to be the most important in world football at club level. National champions and other high placing clubs all compete. Clubs such as Barcelona, Manchester City, Arsenal, PSG, Marseille, Bayern, Dortmund, Real Madrid (15 times winners), Atlético Madrid, Inter Milan, Juventus and even Benfica will all be fighting for the trophy.
A legendary competition, considered to be the most important in world football at club level, the Champions League is a competition that involves the best European teams every year. Comprising the champions of each country, as well as the teams that have finished among the national podiums for the major nations, this Champions League is the stuff of dreams for all football fans, and is divided into two distinct phases of competition. And since last year, there's been a new format!
Firstly, from mid-September to the end of January, the clubs involved meet in a single pool after numerous qualifying rounds and play-offs. The 36 competing teams then all play 8 matches against different opponents, with no home-and-away play. The top 8 teams from the regular season qualify, and the clubs in 9th to 24th place play off in the round of 32. Clubs in 25th to 36th place are eliminated from all European competitions, and there are no more teams in the Europa League.
After the play-offs, the Champions League pits the 16 qualified teams against each other in the always eagerly-awaited two-legged duels: round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and then the grand final, to crown the European champion team. So why not make the most of the 2025-2026 edition of the UEFA Champions League by making your own predictions? The Champions League odds on online betting sites are certainly the stuff of dreams.

To make the best possible Champions League predictions, you need to know a few key statistics.

Now that you've got the new format clearly in mind, let's move on to other topics that will be a great help to your predictions, such as the major statistics for the competition and our prediction on the future winner of the Champions League!
Champions League prediction: The statistics you need to know
To make the best possible Champions League prediction, you need to know a few key figures. Firstly, the number of goals scored. Over the last few years, and again in the last season, the average number of goals per game in the Champions League has been very high, reaching 3.17 goals per game. A very interesting figure, to which we must add 61% of matches validating the +2.5 goals, and 39% the +3.5 goals. As you can see, you'll need to bet on an avalanche of goals in 2025-2026 if you want to make some reliable predictions on sports betting sites.
In the same vein, note that home advantage plays a major role in the Champions League. Take into account that the home win ratio reached 50% for this latest edition (26% of draws, 34% of away wins). If in doubt, don't hesitate to try double chance 1 or 2 when placing your sports bets on the current tournament. With still so few draws in the competition, the N should be avoided for your Champions League sports bets.
Finally, as well as noting that the most common scoreline is still 1-0 (or 0-1), which was the case in over 16.8% of matches last year, you will also note that the most prolific quarter-hour of the competition is still the classic 76 to 90 minutes, with 22% of goals. In 2025-2026, the "Goal between the 76th and 90th" bet will therefore be one of the most interesting to accumulate over the course of the competition. Generally speaking, it will net you €60 for a €100 bet. So don't hesitate to give it a go, as it could boost your winnings with the bookmakers.
Champions League: Our free prediction for 2025/26
As they do every season, Europe's top teams are aiming to win the 2025-2026 edition of the Champions League. Last year, Paris Saint-Germain were crowned champions for the first time in their history and wrote their name into the legend of the competition!
This season, at the start of the season, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Liverpool and Barcelona are the favourites according to the odds offered by the bookmakers.

Even so, if we had to pick our favourites, we'd put Luis Enrique's PSG and Kylian Mbappé and Xabi Alonso's Real Madrid in the lead. Do you agree with us? Then don't hesitate to try your luck if you don't want to wait!
