Europa Conference League Odds & Draw: Basel vs. Nice, Genk vs. West Ham

Eight teams are remaining in the UEFA Europa Conference League, and on Friday, they learned their respective paths to the Finals. The quarterfinals are officially set, with a couple of clubs vying to make history with their first-ever European Trophy.

Current favorites to win the competition, West Ham United, were given a relatively easy path to the semifinal, as they face a Gent side that has been struggling lately. AZ Alkmaar are on the hunt for their first-ever European Title but will have to overcome the historic Anderlecht. Poland’s Lech Poznan will go up against Fiorentina, while Swiss side Basel are taking on Ligue 1 outfit Nice to round out the quarterfinals.

As evidenced by the odds, it really is anyone’s tournament to win. West Ham (+220) are the current favorites as they are undefeated in the competition this year, but the next three teams all have equal chances to win at +430.
