Europa League: You Bet Brits Could Be Major Players This Year

The Europa League group stages kick off on Thursday evening and William Hill make Tottenham the 5/4 favourites to be the British side to progress the furthest with Fulham 11/4. Spurs are the current 10/1 second favourites behind Paris St Germain to lift the trophy, although Hills are offering 2/1 that the winner comes from the Champions League. It would appear that Birmingham and Celtic have the toughest tasks of the British sides with them both being made odds on to fail to get through the group stages, both offered at 4/7 to exit at the first.

Despite being a lesser competition than the Champions League, the odds suggest that if some of the British teams play their strongest sides then they could well be major players this year, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

The Europa League first round kicks off on Thursday and William Hill make Tottenham the favourites of all the British sides taking part this year to progress the furthest. They are 9/4 ahead of Fulham at 3/1 and Stoke 7/2. Spurs look as though they are the most likely British side to lift the trophy offered at 14/1.

Hearts face a difficult challenge against Harry Redknapps men in the Battle of Brtain with the Jambos 1/12 to fail to qualify from their playoff match. Hills offer 5/6 that both Rangers and Celtic qualify for the group stage and 25/1 that all three Scottish sides progress. Hills go 9/2 about all of the English sides progressing.

It would appear that the English sides have the upper hand over the Scottish in this years competition, but Rangers and Celtic could give the boys from South of the border a run for their money, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
