Champions League 2025/26 Season (League Phase Props)

The League Phase for the 2025 season of Champions League is set to start on Tuesday, September 16. PSG are the defending champions from last season, but they are not the favorite coming into the competition. There has been a different winner of the competition in each of the last 3 seasons and there has only been 1 repeat winner in the last 7 seasons as well. There is also plenty of value to be found in the League Phase. Now with the League Phase just around the corner, it is time to see which prop bets have some good value.

Liverpool +600: Liverpool is coming into this competition off of a great season as the Premier League champions. Winning the Premier League Title last year is going to push them to turn their focus to this competition, especially after falling so short. They lost to the eventual champions PSG, but they were knocked out in the Round of 16, right after winning the League Phase with a 7-0-1 record. Liverpool is coming to be more focused on Champions League this season though, and they did perform very well in the League Phase as they won it last season. They also have a very favorable schedule that is going to help them win the League Phase again since they still have one of the better teams in the competition. Liverpool at +600 is great value for them to win the League Phase again this season. 

Bayern Munich -120: Bayern Munich is coming off of a great season in Germany as Bundesliga champions and they have been good in this competition over the years as well. They were knocked out in the Quarterfinals by Inter Milan and they did not have an easy path as they finished 12th in the League Phase. They had 3 losses in their 8 matches which hurt them, but they are going to be more focused on performing better this season so they get a better path to the Final. They have the quality to pick up wins against the lesser opponents they play and they should not pick up 3 losses again. They have 2 tough away matches against PSG and Arsenal, but their match against Chelsea is at home and they have a weaker schedule other than those 3 matches. Bayern will be motivated to do better in the League Phase after last season and they have the quality to slip into that top 8. Bayern Munich at -120 is some good value to finish in the top 8. 

Chelsea +100: Chelsea is coming off of a great season with 2 trophies earned. They finished in 4th place in the Premier League last year, but they won the Conference League as well as the Club World Cup in the summer. Both of those competitions have given them some good experience in these kinds of tournaments and they are going to be razor focused in their return to Champions League this year. Chelsea has been improving a lot over the last 2 years and they have the quality to be a true threat in this competition. Chelsea does have some tough opponents on their schedule, but their toughest match is going to be an away match against Bayern which they can certainly get points from. They also have tough matches against Barcelona and Benfica, but both of those matches are at home so there is a path for Chelsea to be a top 8 team here. Chelsea at +100 is good value for them to finish in the top 8. 

Napoli +200: Napoli is coming off of a great season in Serie A as they won the title last year and have been one of the more dominant teams in Italy in recent years. They were not in Champions League last season, but that is only going to make them more focused this season in their return to the competition. They have the best defense in Italy and that is going to help them collect a lot of points in this League Phase. They do not have the toughest of schedules either. Their 2 away matches against strong opponents are Man City and Benfica who have both taken steps back this year, and their 2 toughest home matches are against Chelsea and Frankfurt. There is a wide open path here for Napoli to be a top team in this League Phase and the motivation is going to be there for the players as well. Napoli at +200 has a lot of value for them to finish in the top 8. 

Marseille -138: Marseille is coming off of a good season where they finished in 2nd place in Ligue 1 and they have been one of the more dominant teams in the league over the years. They do not have the quality to challenge a team like PSG in their own league and they are not going to be a big threat to win this competition, but they can certainly make it out of the group stage. They may struggle against some of the stronger opponents they face, but they have the quality to beat up on the lesser teams and that is going to have them finishing right in this 9-24 range. They have a few tough matches that are going to keep them out of the top 8, but this is not a team that is going to miss the knockouts. Marseille at -138 has some great value for them to finish anywhere from 9th to 24th. 

Monaco -138: Monaco is coming off of a good season where they finished in 3rd place in Ligue 1 and they have been a strong force in the league for years. They were in Champions League last season and they finished in 17th place in the League Phase, and there is a good chance that they land right in that range again this year. They do have some tough matches in their schedule this year, but they still have a lot of quality and are good enough to beat out some of the lesser teams who will underperform in every match. They are also a very good home team and should be able to get points from those matches, even when playing the tougher opponents. That tougher schedule is going to keep them from finishing in the top 8, but it would be shocking to see a team of this quality miss the knockouts. Monaco at -138 has some good value for them to finish anywhere from 9th to 24th.

Eintracht Frankfurt -120: Frankfurt is coming off of a great season as they finished in 3rd place in the Bundesliga last year. They have returned a lot of their quality this season as well so they are going to be a very good team in Germany once again. They are not a team that qualifies for Champions League often either, last qualifying in the 2022/23 season, so they are going to be motivated and extremely focused on winning in this competition. They have 2 very tough matches against Barcelona and Liverpool, but 1 of those is at home. They also have some very beatable teams on their schedule down the line so they are going to be able to get enough points to make it out of the League Phase. They do not have the quality to finish top 8 with some of the other teams around them being so much better, but they certainly have a lot more quality than some of the lesser opponents so they are likely going to finish right in this 9-24 range. Eintracht Frankfurt at -120 has some good value for them to finish anywhere from 9th to 24th. 

Benfica -110: Benfica is coming off of a good season where they finished in 2nd place in their own domestic league. They had to fight their way into this competition in the qualifying matches, but they beat out some good teams and they have a lot of experience playing in this competition over the years as well. They were in Champions League last season as well and they finished in 16th place. They do not have an easy schedule and that is what will keep them out of the top 8, but they still have a lot of quality that can compete with some of the elite teams in Europe and they are certainly no pushover in Champions League. They are going to be motivated to play well in Champions League and with the quality they have, they will likely land right in this 9-24 range. Benfica at -110 has some great value for them to finish anywhere from 9th to 24th.
