How to Bet on the CAF Champions League
Betting on the CAF Champions League runs from one long outright bet to a full card of markets on every match — with a settling rule worth knowing across the two-legged knockout ties. Here is how it all works.
The main markets
- Outright winner — one club to win the competition; see the Caf Champions League odds page.
- Match result (1X2) — home, draw or away over 90 minutes.
- Over/under goals — over or under a goals line, well suited to the often cagey, low-scoring ties; see over/under betting.
- Both teams to score — will both sides find the net; see BTTS.
- Draw no bet — your stake is returned if it ends level; see draw no bet.
- Accumulator — several picks in one bet; see accumulators.
How two-legged ties settle
One rule trips up new bettors. The knockout ties are played over two legs and decided on aggregate, and a level aggregate can go to extra time and penalties — but standard match markets like 1X2 and over/under settle on a single leg's 90 minutes, not the whole tie or the shoot-out. So a 'draw' on the night can stand even though one club progresses on aggregate. Where you want the result over the full tie, use the dedicated to qualify market. A draw no bet can soften the risk on a single leg, and the CAF Champions League guide covers the rest.
Frequently asked questions
What is the easiest CAF Champions League bet to start with?
The match result — backing home, draw or away over 90 minutes. From there, over/under goals and both teams to score are simple, popular next steps, and these often low-scoring ties suit an under-goals play.
How do two-legged ties settle for betting?
Standard markets like 1X2 and over/under settle on a single leg's 90 minutes, so a level score can stand even if a club then goes through on aggregate or wins on penalties. Use the 'to qualify' market to back the result over the full tie.
