When the calendar turns to May, you can know one thing for sure: we are down to the nitty-gritty of the European football campaign.

This month, 12 teams, across three UEFA competitions, will look to book their places in the three finals that will take place at the end of May and the first 10 days of June.

Of course, everyone has their eyes on the main competition, the UEFA Champions League, which is in the semifinal round. But there are also the UEFA Europa League and Europa Conference League competitions, which will also kick off their first legs in the second week of May.

With that in mind, which of the six first leg ties offer the best value for real money players, bettors and fans with New York gambling sites?

Here is a look at a few of them, with an eye towards who might be playing in the finals, and a look as well at the futures odds for each tournament.

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TITLE FUTURES

Manchester City -143

Real Madrid +375

Inter +700

AC Milan +750

BEST FIRST LEG MATCHUP 

Real Madrid (+210) v Manchester City (+128), draw (+245)

This is a rematch of last season’s semifinals, which was won 6-5 on aggregate in dramatic fashion by Real Madrid with two goals in the final minutes of the second leg. This season, it might be down to Madrid to stop City from winning the treble. You can get great odds on either team at betMGM NY.

UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE TITLE FUTURES 

Juventus +190

Roma +275

Bayer Leverkusen +275

Sevilla +375

BEST FIRST LEG MATCHUP

Juventus (-110) v Sevilla (+350), draw (+240)

The Italian team is back in the Serie A top four after a points deduction was overturned, and can now advance to a final if they can beat Sevilla. The Spanish side has dominated this competition, but Juventus looks to be great value at home.

UEFA EUROPA CONFERENCE LEAGUE TITLE FUTURES 

West Ham United +185

Fiorentina +190

AZ Alkmaar +375

Basel +550

BEST FIRST LEG MATCHUP

Fiorentina (-190) v Basel (+525), draw (+335)

Serie A has five of the 12 teams left, and could have four teams playing in finals. In this contest, Fiorentina looks to be much too strong for Basel, and could win this game by multiple goals.
