Europa League later today, i'm looking forward to Arsenal vs Milan (Both teams to score @1.68 and Over 3.5 Goals @2.80), and Zenit vs RB Leipzig (Leipzig to qualify @1.39)

Got it right yesterday 

The draws for the quarters are up.  City drew LFC.    This sucks.  It feels like the draw is rigged.  Barca and Bayern have it easy and are going against Roma and Sevilla.

Then there's Real vs Juventus. 

http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=2018/draws/round=2000883/index.html#/

I bet Liverpool and Man City fans are disappointed right now. And the UEFA made sure the 4 favorites didn't face each other, bastards 

Europa League Quarter Finals

Atletico Madrid - Sporting

Lazio - RB Salzburg

Arsenal - CSKA Moscow

Red Bull Leipzig - Olympique Marseille

[DIA7]

The draw is as good expected i rather see it strong and that because most of the top teams have reached this round.

- Barcelona with Roma, everything is clear, experience, names and even ambition, a confrontation in which Barcelona seems to have no excuse not to qualify
- Juventus vs Real Madrid, the final of last season, with the difference that Real Madrid do not live good days, a chance to avenge the win in the face of the most dangerous teams in Europe at all, I can only say that 50-50 literally, a good test for the two to see where they can go.
- Liverpool vs Manchester City, the luck of the English team guaranteed in the semi-finals, and unfortunately both of them have been solid but Guardiola men have the better advantage to reach th next round.
- Bayern Munich vs Sevilla, Bayern is ​​certainly happy with the draw, but they know slacking against the Andalusian team can be very costy but Certainly Bayern have the strongest lines.

I will try to share me predictions and thoughts about UCL and UEL quarterfinals. Team which will advance bolded.
Barcelona - Roma
I think it's more or less clear who whil advance further. For Barca it's most important to not understimate their opponents
Juventus - Real Madrid
Real is very unlucky with playoffs draws so far. I think that Real will win, Juve isn't that powerful as last year. Real now can focus on CL only, while Juve have difficult fight for Scudetto in Italy.
Sevilla - Bayern
Another pair with obvious favorite. I hardly can imagine Sevilla winning against Bayern in two games sum
Liverpool - Man City
Maybe City are favorites, but Liverpool already proved that they can win against Man City. We can expect for exciting matches in this pair

Atletico Madrid - Sporting
Lazio - RB Salzburg
Arsenal - CSKA Moscow
Red Bull Leipzig - Olympique Marseille
Leipzig and Olympique pair looks most interesting, both teams looks really solid so far.

I do believe that Barcelona really got it easy this quarterfinals and Bayern Munich as with all the knockout stages and the Quarter Finals. Real Madrid seems to be having a very tough draw in all the stages that they have played in but i still fancy them to oust Juventus and with the English teams, I believe Manchester City have the edge there.

AC Milan thought they had the better of Arsenal for a few minutes, when Calhanoglu scored a goal well into the first half. Nobody in the Arsenal team thought it would be a good idea to close him down, inviting him to go for the goal which he duly converted. Unfortunately for AC Milan, Danny Welbeck  got a penalty after being brought down in the box. Arsenal and AC Milan are at 1-1 going into the second half.

Regardless of the controversial enough penalty, the second half did not go so well for AC Milan, and eventually they had to lose by aggregate quite a landslide. The proof of AC Milan is against a great team and in fact they are not playing so well against a great team like Arsenal.

the penalty (nonexistent foul) has affected the result.
Ac Milan did a good match and also had his chances for a resounding comeback.
Without Aubameyang and with Lacazette injured Arsenal has little chance of winning the Europa League.

Nice diving from Wellbeck and stupid decision from the referee. I'm not a fan of both team but looking at what was happening, AC Milan should be able to get a better result if the referee did not give the controversial penalty kick for Arsenal. Their spirit seems to be down after the controversial decision, so yeah it affected the match.

another obvious error was the penalty not granted to Chelsea against Barcelona.
 The technology Var must be used in all major competitions to avoid these resounding mistakes. in balanced matches these errors can influence the result and ruin a team's entire season.

I thought they were going to be using the camera technology in these competitions just not in la liga matches.
You would think they would atleast using them in knock out round stages such as in this championships match up.

Yeah man! At 2-1 down, Arsenal had every chance of collapsing and the way Welbeck dived... Yes he did... Perfectly demonstrates just how fragile they are as a team. Gattuso cut such a sad figure... He said before the match they could play with "tranquility" strange coming from one of the last genuine bulldogs of his era.

Anyway, as usual, Europa didn't do me favours. Lost the Dortmund bet, gained the Athletico ML win luckily, but still ended up with a slight 0.2 stakes loss.

Always said Athleti were my favourites. One last hurrah for Torres, please!

[wriizo]

Arsenal FC vs Milan is going to be an interesting game to watch most definitely. I personally as a fan of Arsenal see the Rossoneri winning with a goal difference, something like 1:2, either way both teams to score is the most secure thing to bet on. 

I staked a bet for AC Milan in the first leg and they disappointed me very much but i don't think i am going to do that today and i do believe that just as the Gunners won at the San Siro, They are going to win at the Emirates stadium again today.

Wow man, you were right about the game. Arsenal really won, and by a hefty margin. I placed a bet on both teams to score, but other games screwed me over.

I completely agree with your analysis, between Marseille and Rb Leipig maybe I see the Rb Leipzig slightly favored!

From the Europa League I am going to tip Atletico Madrid and Arsenal to win the trophy this time around but I would want the Gunners to win it more since that's the only way  they could get into the Champions League at his juncture because from the EPL, there is no chance.

[Rinsend]

why should a British representative fight against a British representative? I told my friend before drawing started, I do not want Liverpool to meet Manchester City, I want a British representative against representatives of Spain like Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but it turns out Liverpool have to fight Manchester City.
Anyway, It's still an exciting match to watch, I hold Liverpool for the first leg.

[DU18]

IMO most exciting match will be in QF is Real Madrid vs Juventus.Juvestus lost title last year against Real Madrid and now they have a chance to revenge RMA by knocking RMA our.But it will be hard task for them because Madrid is on very good form and just beat PSG on round of 16.

i hope in europa league can final ideal match
arsenal vs atletico madrid

[tokeweed]

As much as I hate Arsenal, I wish they win the Europa League.  We would have 5 EPL clubs in the CL once again, and it would set the club in better footing for the next manager once Wenger is kicked out of the club at the end of this season. 

Thank God!

From this predictions I am almost with you in every game , I disagree with you only wither real Madrid against juventus , the history shows that the Italian team has always an advantage in elimination turns with two games , they met last year in the final and Madrid did win but this was a one game final where juventus always miss luck on that stage. History shows that juventus is the most unlucky team in finals , he already lost 7 of 9 only in champions league . My prediction is that juventus could pass-through real Madrid in this turn .

There are 2 questions from me ..
1- Why Juventus always meet Real Madrid in the top 8 and always like that
2 - And Liverpool and Man City will meet in the Big 8 later, while both are from the British who usually meet

So who are saying that if it was a two game match, Juventus would have been able to resolve the deficit and win the game but i really think that it's highly unlikely and i agree that Real Madrid are going to oust Juventus from the competition.

There is nothing to predict everything is fixed like every single year Barcelona is going to win real madrid is going ti win and they both won't face each other in semi but the remaining 2 teams after that el clasico in finals uefa makes millions from viewers and have a sold out finals

I always wonder why doesn't UEFA arrange the fixtures for the Champions League the same way that the fixtures for FIFA World Cup is arranged so that every teams can know ahead the possible teams that they are going to face as the competition even starts.

I'm sure the bigger teams were already aware of this fixtures I mean I don't see the reason for any draw if you see during the group stage as well the last group in which real madrid was there they literally had the same group as last year quit weird isn't it

[ganlianshifu1]

I think the game between Manchester city and Liverpool will be fantastic!

I predict the final winner will be Manchester city, although in the premier league, Liverpool beat Manchester city!

But this season is the best chance for Manchester city to win the champions league!
