Manchester City are now the outright favourites at 9/4 to win the Champions League
Manchester City are the 9/4 favourites with UK Betting Sites to finally win the Champions League this season as we approach the Quarter-Final stage of the competition.
Pep Guardiola's men face a tough task though coming up against Bayern Munich in the Quarters and it may be that the winner of the competition comes out of this tie.
With Erling Haaland firing in the goals for City this season it may be that he is the final piece of the puzzle for the club to win the European Cup for the first time.
The latest odds from Paddy Power give City a 30% chance of winning the Champions League and make them clear in the betting market for the outright winner.
| Champions League Winner 22/23 | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Man City | 9/4 | 30.8% |
| Napoli | 7/2 | 22.2% |
| Bayern Munich | 7/2 | 22.2% |
| Real Madrid | 13/2 | 13.3% |
| Benfica | 12/1 | 7.7% |
Napoli and Bayern Munich both joint second favourites in the betting
The betting market makes both Napoli and Bayern Munich the joint second favourites to win the Champions League this season and we could well see the pair meet in the final.
Bayern Munich face Man City and then the winner of Chelsea and Real Madrid and beating City in the Quarters would give them confidence to beat anyone in the latter stages of the Champions League.
Napoli on the other hand face AC Milan next in what looked like a straightforward game until AC Milan thumped Napoli 4-0 in Naples this past weekend.
That 4-0 defeat will make Napoli anxious going into the Champions League games with big questions now raised of the club ahead of the tie that they were expected to easily win.
Erling Haaland is as short as 1/12 to be the Top Goalscorer in the Champions League this season
The Champions League Golden Boot winner looks nailed on to be Erling Haaland this season with his odds now as short as 1/12 to win the award.
Haaland's latest game in the competition saw him score 5 goals in one game against RB Leipzig and he'll be looking for more of the same against Bayern next.
With 10 goals so far in the 22/23 Champions League season, Haaland sits 2 goals ahead of Mo Salah and 3 ahead of Kylian Mbappe who have both been knocked out of the tournament.
Vinicius Junior is the second favourite in the market and currently has 6 goals alongside Benfica's Joao Mario in joint 4th place in the Top Scorer table.
| Champions League Scorer 22/23 | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Erling Haaland | 1/12 | 92.3% |
| Vinicius Junior | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Joao Mario | 50/1 | 2% |
| Karim Benzema | 66/1 | 1.5% |
