The Conference League has a short history, but has already gained great popularity among specialists and fans. The same can be said about football clubs. The initial impression that third-rate teams would compete for the trophy quickly disappeared. Suffice it to say that Roma and Feyenoord met in the final of the first cup in 2022. These teams cannot be called weak, let alone third-rate ones.
The Conference League drew interest not only among specialists and fans, but also among bookmakers and bettors. Many people make successful bets in this tournament on the matches of their favorite teams at the Mostbet uz bookmaker. However, other entertainments are available on the bookmaker’s website. Particularly popular is the Aviator Mostbet uz section, where everyone can find a lot of exciting and profitable games.
Conference League favorites 2023
Today we will try to analyze the progress of the group stage and determine the contenders for the trophy in the 2022-2023 season.
Villarreal
In the Example, Villarreal celebrated a victory only once – in 2008, but on the international stage, the “yellow submarine” is much more successful. Suffice it to recall that the Valencians won the Europa League in 2021, and in the 2021-2022 season they reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. This year, the team also does not shine in the national championship, but the Spaniards have no problems in the group stage of the Conference League. In four matches, the “yellow submarine” won four victories and confidently leads the group, securing access to the playoffs. Forecast: the team will reach the semi-finals, the chances of a trophy are 1 to 7.
West Ham
Traditionally, the British fight for the championship in the European club arena with the Spaniards. It will be the same this season. Most predicted Conference League final: Villarreal – West Ham. “Hammers” started very hard in the Premier League, apparently, the main bet will be made on international matches. In Group B, West Ham have won four out of four possible victories and have already secured participation in the playoffs. The team has not won trophies for a long time, perhaps this Conference League draw will bring success to the Hammers. Forecast: reaching the semi-finals, the chances for the cup are estimated with a probability of 1 to 9.
Fiorentina
Another club from the top league, playing in the Conference League and really claiming the trophy. In the domestic championship, the “purple” are not doing very well. An uncertain start in Serie A and, as a result, 13th place in the table, after 10 rounds. In the Conference League, the team plays better, taking second place in Group A with a margin of four points over the closest pursuer. Apparently, the issue with access to the playoffs has already been resolved. Forecast: exit from the group, bookmakers estimate the chances of winning the tournament with a probability of 1 to 12.
AZ Alkmaar
“Cheese Farmers” this year successfully started on all fronts. In the national championship, the team is at the top of the standings, only two points behind the leader. Alkmaar started the group stage with three victories and confidently leads the standings, despite the defeat in the fourth match. The greatest achievement of AZ Alkmaar in the international arena remains participation in the UEFA Cup final in 1981. This season, the team aims to repeat their success of forty years ago. Forecast: exit from the group, the odds for a trophy are calculated by bookmakers based on a coefficient of 1 to 14.
Basaksehir
Basaksehir is a young and ambitious Turkish club, founded in 1992, which quickly broke into the elite of Turkish football.
