EFL Trophy Winner Betting Odds

EFL Trophy Outright Odds at BetVictor, your home of Online Sports Betting. Here, we offer a complete EFL Trophy Outright Betting market, so you can bet on any of the 64 competing teams to finish as champions.

The history of the EFL Trophy stretches back to the start of the 1983/84 season, as the FA and the Football League aimed to create a competition for smaller sides to win an EFL recognised trophy.

Initially formatted as the Football League Group Cup, the competition was rebranded as the Football League Trophy in 1992 before becoming the EFL Trophy in 2016. It is open to all teams in League One and League Two, and 16 Premier League and Championship under-21 teams.

The EFL Trophy has received huge attention for its wide range of sponsorship deals over the years across industries as diverse as paints and pizza.

Whilst the competition attracts some level of novelty, Football League Trophy outright betting does represent an exciting market. Here at BetVictor, we have all the odds you’ll need when it comes to an EFL Trophy outright bet, with prices on every team competing.

Some big clubs have won the EFL Trophy, including Southampton, Wolves and Brentford. But which team will be the next to add their name to the roll of honour? With our EFL Trophy Outright Odds, you can lock in your bets, whether you think one of the favourites will triumph or an underdog will cause a shock.

As the EFL Trophy offers the chance for lower league clubs to taste the glory of a Wembley final, the betting is always worth keeping an eye on. Battling through the rounds, alongside the balancing act of a demanding league season, can be difficult, but the rewards can be massive if you go all the way to the final. And here at BetVictor, you can bet on your favourite team to go all the way and clinch the silverware with our EFL Trophy Outright Winner Betting market.

As with any cup competition, the most popular EFL Trophy betting market is predicting who will be crowned as outright winners at the end of the campaign. At BetVictor, we’ve got EFL Trophy Winner Odds on every single team from League One and League Two that is competing. Things tend to heat up as the final stages roll around in the second half of the season and calling a winner can often be a lottery. And that is not forgetting prices on each of the 16 under-21 sides from Premier League and Championship clubs. Our market is open from the first game to the final so that you can bet on the outright winner at any point during the season.

Harry Redknapp famously won the first ever title with his Bournemouth side in 1984 at Boothferry Park in Hull. Following its permanent move to Wembley since then, either side of a seven-season hiatus at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium, we’ve seen numerous different champions.

Alongside our Outright Winner Odds, you can also find EFL Trophy Betting markets for every individual game, including the final, on our Sportsbook. We offer everything from Match Betting and Both Teams to Score to Correct Score, Handicaps and a range of Goal Scorer, Card and Corner markets.

Bristol City have established themselves as the EFL Trophy’s most successful side. The Robins won the title in 1986, 2003 and 2015, while they were runners-up in 1987 and 2000.

However, when betting on the EFL Trophy outright winner, looking for patterns of success may not be the best option. No team has ever defended the title, and there tends to be a different winner each year. You can find a list of the most recent EFL Trophy champions below:

Changes in format in recent years have seen bigger teams, with a longer history in the Football League come to the fore as the competition’s more likely winners – although 2020 winners Salford City certainly have something to say about that.

Since 1999 onwards, the EFL Trophy has proven to be a springboard for league success and promotion up the Football League ladder into the Championship and on to the promised land of the Premier League. Can Salford emulate the success of the likes of Wigan Athletic, Stoke City and Swansea City, who all won the tournament in the 20th century before going on to bigger and better things?

Wigan won a fairy tale FA Cup final against Manchester City in 2013, alongside a runner’s up spot in the 2006 League Cup. Stoke City reached the 2011 FA Cup final and Swansea City won the 2013 League Cup.

Whilst Bristol City’s famous red and white are the trophy’s most worn colours, there have been other flickers of domination over the years, with Blackpool, Carlisle United, Birmingham City, Port Vale, Wigan Athletic, Stoke City and Swansea City all winning it twice.

Winning the EFL Trophy can often act as a springboard for success. Wigan Athletic went on to play in the Premier League and won the FA Cup after their triumph in 1999. And then there was Swansea City, who also reached the top flight and won the EFL Cup following their 2006 victory.
