Questions and answers
Who is favoured to win the 2026–27 Champions League?
Bayern Munich, at 18%, ahead of Arsenal (18%), Paris Saint-Germain (17%) and Barcelona (13%). That's from 10,000 simulations of the rest of the season with PodiumOracle's current ratings, updated 12 November 2026.
What are the odds for the next Champions League games?
According to PodiumOracle's model: Aston Villa at Galatasaray (24 November 2026): Aston Villa 47%, a draw 22%; LASK Linz at Bodo/Glimt (24 November 2026): Bodo/Glimt 71%, a draw 15%; FC Porto at Feyenoord Rotterdam (24 November 2026): FC Porto 57%, a draw 20%. Every upcoming one's chances are on this page and update until the start.
How accurate are PodiumOracle's Champions League predictions?
On 450 games from held-back seasons (2024–25 to 2026–27), which the model never saw while it was tuned, the side it favoured won 61% of the time. Its log loss was 0.857, against 0.977 for the base rate and 0.928 for recent form. Against the betting markets on the same finished games, its log loss was 0.826 against the bookmakers' 0.827 over 137 games, 0.878 against Polymarket's 0.862 over 237 games and 0.870 against Kalshi's 0.858 over 253 games (lower is better).
How are the Champions League predictions made?
Every team has a rating that moves after each result, by more when the result was a surprise. The gap between two ratings, plus home advantage, gives each game's chance, and the rest of the season is simulated 10,000 times, with the league's own format, for the Champions League odds. The settings are chosen on older seasons and tested on the most recent ones.
