This year, all of the clubs have to pass through the qualifying rounds or play-offs, and no place is guaranteed in the Conference League's single pool. Take a look at our predictions for this qualifying phase, and look out for our prediction on the winner before the final play-off matches starting on 29 August.

Our prediction for the Conference League play-off qualifiers (9th to 24th place)

As you can see, with no qualified clubs, it's difficult to offer a prediction at the moment. However, if they manage to get through the qualifying and play-off rounds, the likes of Slovan Bratislava, Copenhagen, Istanbul Başakşehir and La Gantoise could well be in the running for a place in the last 16!

Beginners Guide to How the Europa Conference League works

The Europa Conference League is the third most important European football competition behind the Champions League and the Europa League, it pits some of Europe's best teams against each other in a competition that can be thrilling to follow. It is proving to be one of the most popular football predictions .

The famous new single pool system is fairly simple to understand: 36 clubs take part and are divided into a league table, with the top 8 qualifying for the round of 16 and the next 16 (9th to 24th place) going through the play-offs (round of 16). Those still behind, in 25th to 36th place, are eliminated.

From 3 October to 19 December, the 36 participating teams are divided into 8 groups of four, in which each team plays its opponents twice (first leg and second leg). At the end of the phase, the top team in each group qualifies for the Round of 16, while the second-placed team is drawn in a play-off round against a relegated Europa League team (one of the eight that finished 3rd in their group).

This play-off then marks the start of the knockout phase, with two legs leading up to the grand final on 29 May 2024. 

• Qualifying rounds during the summer (11 July to 15 August)
• Play-offs at the end of August (22 and 29)
• Draw for matches on 30 August
• League phase with 6 matches for each team (36 clubs in total)
• The top 8 teams qualify for the last 16
• The next 16 qualify for the play-offs (round of 16)
• The bottom 12 are eliminated
• Play-off draw on 20 December 2024
• Play-offs (return legs on 13 and 20 February 2025)
• Round of 16 draw on 21 February
• Round-robin knockout matches from the Round of 16 to the Final (28 May 2025)

The format of this Conference League is therefore similar to those of the other two European competitions, with the exception of the 6 matches in the single pool, instead of 8 for the Champions League and Europa League.

How to make good match bets and a reliable Europa Conference League prediction?

As with a Champions League prediction , for example, making a successful Europa Conference League prediction requires a number of factors to be taken into consideration.  

Since the first edition of the competition in 2021-2022, our betting experts have been paying attention to the smallest details to offer you the best possible bets. Here's what you need to do and the best advice for making the right bets:  

• Pay attention to the latest results
• Judging the motivation and desire to do well in the Europa Conference League
• Take note of the team news for each Europa Conference League match
• Consider the fixture list of each team participating in the ECL
• Know all the latest statistics

These are undoubtedly five excellent methods you absolutely must follow this season if you want to predict the Europa Conference League like an expert. For more details, please read the following paragraphs.

Pay attention to the latest results

The first tip, which is logical but not always applied by beginners, is to pay attention to the latest performances of the teams. We're not just talking about analyzing results, but also, and above all, what the various clubs have achieved recently in the game.

For example, let's say a team taking part in the Europa Conference League has suffered two 4-0 defeats in the league, with only two shots on target. The team would then appear to not be in the kind of form that will do well in the Europa Conference League. It is important to look at the strength of teams they have been facing. West Ham won the Europa Conference League despite battling relegation for most of the season. 

Teams that have been getting good domestic results may be worth betting on in this competition. Again look at the strength of the opposition they have been playing and who they are taking on in the Europa Conference League. 

A club's collective form is very important for its future performances. You should never forget this when betting with a football bookmaker.

Judging the motivation and desire to do well in the Europa Conference League

Another tip for betting well on the Europa Conference League is to judge the clubs' real motivation in this third European competition. For several years now, we have seen a difference in the interest shown by clubs in this third competition. There will be weakened line-ups fielded by many sides. They may well want to rest players for key domestic fixtures often played just three days later. Other sides may be more keen to do well and reap some financial rewards. This will grow as the tournament progresses. 

Between a club that takes advantage of the competition to rotate its squad and another that plays it to the hilt to make a name for itself on the European stage, your prediction needs to look at how strong a squad the rotating club has. Can they leave players out but still have enough quality players to get the win?

Take note of the team news for each Europa Conference League match

This third tip can be used in conjunction with the previous one: systematically consult the list of players announced as not scheduled to play in the Europa Conference League match on which you want to place a prediction. Suspension, rest, injury... the reasons for absence can be numerous, and can have an impact on a team's collective performance.

Imagine, for example, that Aston Villa's best players are all rested for their Conference League group game. In that case, beware: the loss of talent on the pitch could be costly and skew your analysis. Before making your Europa Conference League predictions, get into the habit of reading the squads for Thursday's matches. It's a sure-fire way of avoiding costly errors.

Consider the fixture list of each team taking part in the ECL

In view of the points mentioned above, the sporting calendar of the clubs is also a factor to be taken into account before making any predictions about the Europa League Conference. Is a club due to play a key fixture in its domestic league on the Sunday following its European duel?  It is likely that the side will place more emphasis on the upcoming match.. 

For your analysis of the Europa League Conference to be relevant at all levels, you need to look at the teams' past and future fixtures. A club that is facing a long run in the league, or even in the domestic cup, may be tempted to rest a few key players for this European football competition.

Get the latest European Cup stats for every team

Another key piece of advice is to analyse each team's statistics in the Europa Conference League. There are several aspects to consider here. As well as looking at each team's history in European competition, take a look at the major statistics obtained by the teams since the start of the season in the UEFA Europa Conference League.

The number of shots on target, possession ratio, successful passes, cards received, expected goals are all figures and indicators that will give you an idea of ​​a team's desire and form in the competition. According to SportyTrader's Europa Conference League predictors, here are the 5 keys to a reliable football prediction. Obviously they are not the only ones, but by using them you should undoubtedly improve your success rate for the European games.
