Correct Scores

The top 5 most occurring Correct Scores over the past five seasons:

  • 2-0 = 45 (9% or 10/1)
  • 1-1 = 44 (9% or 10/1)
  • 2-1 = 37 (8% or 11/1)
  • 1-2 = 34 (7% or 13/1)
  • 1-0 = 31 (6% or 15/1)

Betting Strategies for Champions League Betting

When looking for betting strategies to use for your Champions League betting then you already have the figures above, You can see that a 2-0 outcome during the group stages is the most popular outcome of matches.

However, you are still talking about only 45 successful bets from a total of 480 group stages over the past five seasons which may not prove profitable.

You do, of course, have the option of dutching correct score, what this means is splitting your stake between outcomes so if any of them win then you receive around the same amount of a return.

Dutching Correct Scores

An example of that would be, say Manchester City is hosting Bayern Munich and you want to back the correct score and you have three different scores in mind, 1-1, 2-1 & 1-2 which are three of the top four correct scores in the UCL.

The prices of the outcomes are 13/2 for 1-1, 15/2 for 2-1 and 12/1 and you set yourself a total stake of £20 to spread over the three correct scores.

Your bets would work out as:

  • £8.13 on 1-1
  • £7.18 on 2-1
  • £4.69 on 1-2

If the match finishes with any of those correct scores then it's a winner and the return would be £60.99 meaning a profit of £40.99.

Those three correct scores (1-1, 2-1 & 1-2) have been the result in 122 of the 480 group matches which are just over 25% of the games.

You could also use the Champions League betting tips above, see what our football experts' betting predictions for the Champions League are and use those to Dutch.

Dutching Correct Scores

Dutching correct scores is a way of enhancing your chances of a winning bet, in the mentioned example it would work out as a 205% R.O.I (Return on Investment).

Siding With The Underdog

If you are someone who likes to find an underdog to bet on in the UCL then the statistics would say if backing in the group stages, get on early, a lot of our Champions League tips will also portray this!

For the first round of group matches, only 51% of favourites in the past five seasons won their games which for the quality of the tournament you would expect higher.

It does rise as the rounds go, the bookies getting wise as to which teams are serious that season in this competition, it jumps to 60% for the second round of matches and then 79% for the third round of matches.

Struggling Opening Favourites

Whilst the bookies work out who will produce in the UCL, they may get a few wrong early on, only 51% of favourites over the last past 5 seasons won their opening group game compared to 60% and 79% winning their 2nd & 3rd games.

It does dip for the final three games, you could expect that later on with teams who had already qualified for the knockout stages, it goes 68% for the fourth round of games, 63% for the fifth and then 63% for the final group matches.

In the knockout stages, it does vary, however, the second legs of the quarter-finals are not great for favourites with just 31% winning.

This will be similar to the latter group matches where if teams hold a decent advantage from the first leg then you can expect the other team to push hard.

This is the sort of information that our tipsters look at when deciding on their Champions League bet predictions to give them the edge over the bookies.
