Unfortunately, there are no outright odds of winning the UEFA Futsal Champions League 23-24 title even a day before the event. However, many bookies came up with the best futsal betting odds for semifinals, so let’s take a look at them.
Benfica Futsal come into this semi-final matchup as the slight favorites at 2.20 (6/5). A draw is offered at 5.0 (4/1), while the defending champions, Palma Futsal, are the small underdogs at 2.40 (7/5) to beat the Eagles.
Barcelona are the bigger favorite to reach the finals, with odds of 2.10 (11/10) to win in this semi-final matchup. A draw is offered at 4.33 (20/6), while Sporting Futsal are the underdogs at 2.70 (17/10) to beat Barca.
Benfica Futsal are having a successful season so far. They finished third in the 2023–24 Liga Placard regular season and qualified for the playoffs, and they will face Electrico in the quarterfinals. Benfica have been impressive in the Futsal UCL this season, winning all three of their games in Group B of the elite round. The Eagles reached two UCL finals, and they won the title only once, which was 14 years ago. They have a very balanced team that is capable of winning the championship.
Palma Futsal are the defending champions, but they are much weaker than last year. They won first place in the Primera Division regular season last season, but they are currently 6th in the league going into the last round. Palma won seven points to top Group D of the Futsal UCL elite round, but they weren’t very convincing. They have lost a lot of their key players from their championship win last year, so they will have a slim chance to defend their title.
Barcelona Futsal are back to the top of the 2023–24 Primera Division regular season. They won Group A of the UCL elite round with seven points, and they are tied for the best defense in this stage. Barca have won the second-most Futsal UCL titles (4), and they are looking to tie Inter FS by winning the championship this season. Barcelona are the team to bet on the Futsal Champions League 2024 finals, as they are the favorites to win the title.
Sporting CP have improved a lot in the last few years, as they have reached the Futsal UCL final in four of the last five editions, and they have won the title twice in that period. Sporting won all three of their UCL elite round games, and they won all of them comfortably by big margins. They have a bad semi-final draw against Barcelona, but if they manage to beat them, they will be the favorites to win the title.
The Futsal UCL tournament starts with 32 teams in the preliminary round, which are split across eight groups. Only nine of those 32 teams qualify for the main round, which is split into path A and path B. Path A includes 16 of the top teams in Europe, split into four groups, as the top three teams in each group qualify for the next round.
Path B consists of the nine preliminary qualifying teams, in addition to another seven teams, and all 16 teams are also split into four groups, but only the group winners qualify for the next round. The elite round consists of the 16 teams that qualify from paths A and B. They are split into four groups, with the group winners qualifying for the final tournament after a simple round-robin system.
Inter FS have won the most Futsal UCL titles (5), while Barcelona have won four championships, and three teams have won the title twice. Palma Futsal became the fifth team in history to win the title in their debut season.

According to the local bookies in Armenia, Benfica are the favorites to beat Palma Futsal. The Eagles are in great form right now, as they are on a six-game winning streak, and they have lost only once in their last nine games. Palma Futsal are the complete opposite, winning only once in their last six games, and they have a lot of defensive problems this season. This is a revenge game for Benfica after losing at this exact stage to Palma last year.
