West Ham
English clubs are favourites for a clean sweep of all three major European trophies, with West Ham leading the way in the Europa Conference League like Manchester City and Arsenal in the more prestigious competitions.
The Hammers could not have been more impressive in reaching the last 16, becoming the first team in the competition to win all six of their group-stage matches.
David Moyes’s men reached the semi-finals of the Europa League last season and are now hoping to build on that experience by going all the way in the third tier of European football.
Europa Conference League winner odds: 4/1
Villarreal
Villarreal suffered a setback when Unai Emery quit as manager in October to take over at Aston Villa but his replacement will have plenty of time to stamp his mark on the team before the Spanish side are back in European action.
The Yellow Submarine topped Group C after winning their first four matches and have a proud record in European football.
They reached the Champions League semi-finals last season, 12 months after winning the Europa League, so are strong contenders for more success.
Europa Conference League winner odds: 9/2
Lazio
Lazio’s defeat at Feyenoord on Matchday 6 in the Europa League saw them miss out on qualification and drop down to the third-tier competition.
The Italians have former Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri in charge and have been going well in Serie A this season.
They face CFR Cluj in the knockout round play-offs and their strong home record should help them take control of the tie before travelling to Romania.
Europa Conference League winner odds: 6/1

Fiorentina
Another Italian team feature prominently in the Europa Conference League outright betting with Fiorentina also flying the flag for Serie A.
La Viola’s domestic results have been less impressive but they qualified from their group with ease, although 13 points was only enough to finish runners-up behind Basaksehir due to an inferior head-to-head record.
Portuguese side Braga await when the tournament resumes in February and the 12/1 shots will be a tough test, having reached the Europa League quarter-finals last season.
Europa Conference League winner odds: 9/1
Best of the rest
Bodo/Glimt have made a name for themselves in Europe in the last few seasons. Having failed to make it out of Arsenal’s Europa League group, they now face Lech of Poland and are 20/1 to go all the way.
🤩 Solbakken's run, Espejord's flick or Pellegrino finish? 🤔
