What 2020/21 UCL Group Looks the Toughest?

Keep in mind, only the top two teams will qualify for the Champions League knockout stage.

Because of that, Group H looks the toughest to me. You have PSG, Manchester United and Leipzig in the same group. It’s going to be tough for the English side to advance.

Chelsea lucked out in Group E and should easily advance to the knockout stage.

Liverpool should also advance, but Ajax and Atalanta are experienced squads.

In Group A, it’ll be interesting to watch Bayern and Atletico battle it out for first place. In Group G, it’ll be interesting to see the battle between Juventus and Barcelona for first place as well.

2021 Champions League Outright Winner Odds

Bayern Munich (+400) are favored to repeat as UCL champions in 2020/21.

Bayern just defeated PSG (1-0) at the end of August to win the 2020 Champions League title. They’ll be top contenders to repeat, but Manchester City (+425) are right behind them in the market.

The only other team paying below 10/1 odds are Liverpool (+550).

This year’s runner-up, PSG (+1000) are next up in the outright winners market.

Barcelona (+1400) stand out to me as the team offering the best value. Barca are offering a big enough payout where you could potentially hedge as the tournament progresses.

In 2020, RB Leipzig (+6600) made the semifinals before being eliminated by Bayern.

Will another underdog emerge in 2021? Leipzig have a tough group to get out of, but if they can advance to the knockout stage again then anything can end up happening.

Here are the odds to win the 2020/21 Champions League title:

Bayern Munich (+400)

Manchester City (+425)

Liverpool (+550)

PSG (+1000)

Real Madrid (+1200)

Barcelona (+1400)

Juventus (+1400)

Atletico Madrid (+2000)

Chelsea (+2000)

Manchester United (+2500)

Borussia Dortmund (+2800)

Atalanta (+3300)

Inter Milan (+3300)
