Europa League Quarter-Finals: Aston Villa, Betis and Porto Favoured as Betting Odds Tighten for Semi-Final Race

Posted : 16 April 2026

The UEFA Europa League quarter-finals reach a decisive stage today, with four key second-leg matches shaping the race for the semi-finals. Bookmakers suggest closely contested ties, although several favourites hold narrow advantages based on first-leg results and current form.

Aston Villa remain one of the strongest contenders in the competition and are heavily backed to progress past Bologna. The Premier League side are priced around 4/7 to win the match, while Bologna are underdogs at roughly 21/4, reflecting Villa’s strong home advantage and superior squad depth.

In the same bracket, Nottingham Forest face a difficult challenge against Porto. The Portuguese side are slight favourites with odds around 23/10 for an away win, while Forest are priced at 16/11, indicating a very tight contest that could go either way depending on momentum.

Real Betis also enter their clash against Braga as marginal favourites. Betis are priced at around 9/10 to win, while Braga sit at approximately 18/5, highlighting how evenly matched the tie remains despite Betis’ home advantage.

Meanwhile, Freiburg travel to Celta Vigo in another finely balanced encounter. Odds show Celta slightly ahead at around 19/20, with Freiburg close behind at 16/5, suggesting a low-margin contest where tactical discipline could decide the outcome.

Betting markets indicate that while Aston Villa and Porto are viewed as stronger candidates to progress, the remaining ties involving Betis, Braga, Celta Vigo and Freiburg remain highly unpredictable. With semi-final places on the line, small margins and late-game moments are expected to decide all four fixtures. Check betting odds on our platform here.
