United are now bookmakers' favorites to win the title, but with other strong teams, their odds are 3.40. Here are the quotes of other teams and I see some strange estimates:
Manchester United 3.40
Arsenal 3.95
Juventus 8.50 - why so low?
Union Berlin 12.00
Seville 14.00 - lol, why they here?
Roma 14.00 - why so low?
Juventus have one goal for the season - and that is the Europa League (which by the way gives a direct ticket to the Champions League! so they can avoid missing the next season), Mourinho's teams are always cup fighters. In general, I think that these two clubs are underestimated.
Asking why Juventus score is low is a good question. Someone was analysing how Juventus will need to win the Europa in order to be in the Champions League next season after the point deductions in their league.
I responded that it would have been possible if it was Europa of yesteryear but this season
Manchester United and Arsenal are favourites and they are coming from the opposite side of the divide, so they could possibly meet in the finals.
But isn't this an argument in favor of Juventus? Firstly, winning one game against a favorite (assuming United or Arsenal are strong favorites against Juventus, which I'm not sure about) is much easier than winning two games. Secondly, if the main rivals are in another part of the grid, then you obviously have an easier path to the final. And we do not take into account the fact that for United and Arsenal this is the second priority and not the first.
