From the remaining Italian teams I see Sevilla knocking out Lazio, Napoli progressing against Zurich and I have a feeling that Inter could mess up against Rapid Vienna. They are more focused on ending 2nd in Serie A and Italian teams usually line up a mixed team selection for the Europa League matches.

Napoli, Arsenal & Chelsea must be amongst the favourites. This competition only gets interesting at this stage. The group stages have too many shit teams.

It is still early to be interesting. It is more competitive but still, there are teams that have a lot of difference in their dynamics and the players between them. I think that this year Chelsea is going to win Europa League. I am sad that Higuain will not be able to play but still, there are many top class players in the squad that can win the games.

That is why this is the second competition regarding importance and that is why Uefa has given the opportunity to many weak teams to take part in this competition to test these teams against strong ones and sometimes a weak team may go even to quarter finals but I agree to many shit teams reside in this league.

Today first game of Europa league playoffs was played, Fenerbahche won against Zenit 1:0. It's quite unexpected result considering that Fener is struggling this season - they are near to relegation zone in Turkish league. On the other hand it was first official game for Zenit after winter break.
Remaining games will be played on Thursday. For me Lazio - Sevilla pair looks most interesting. There few more pairs which looks difficult to predict like Celtic - Valencia, Krasnodar - Bayer, Rennes - Betis or Galatasaray - Benfica. Still didn't decided which matches to watch .

A number of fixtures form the Round of 32 have kicked off already, The one I'm most interested in is Bate vs Arsenal.
Arsenal are playing with very strong line up and bench already, Which shows they're might be seeing this as another route to feature is the next season champions league.
I think this should be an easy away win for them with at least 2 goals scored.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on the bench I don't know what strategy the coach used
Even though Arsenal controls the match without a striker like Aubameyang it seems difficult to score

Lol, Arsenal lost to BATE 1:0. It's probably weakest team that they can get in this stage. Also, it was just first official match for BATE after winter break. Probably Arsenal will win at home by 3-4 goals, but still it's shameful to lose against such small teams.
Rennes - Betis 3:3. Wow, unfortunately didn't saw this match, but it had to be fun. I think it's big surprise that match between these teams was high scoring.
Lazio - Sevilla 0:1. I'm disappointed about Lazio performance, they played really bad tonight and they are lucky that conceded just 1 goal.
Shakhtar - Eintracht. We saw plenty of things in just 10 minutes - big mistake by Shakhtar goalkeeper and his own goal, in next attack questionable penalty and Shakhtar goal. Few moments latter Shakhtar player fouled and got second yellow card. Now score is 1:1 and there is not much action in the game.

Arsenal was a big disappointment tonight, I was very impressed with Real Betis, They were fantastic during the group stages, they went 2 goals behind inside the first 10 minutes, and had to come back from 2 goals behind again after the break to earn a 3 - 3 away draw, which I think is a great result for them, and they could make it the round of 16.

Arsenal very much lol
Don't say some team is weak.BATE has good history in cups but yes it is very much lol

Zurich-Napoli 0-3 ten minuets to go
Easy game for Napoli
Ancelloti told that Napoli wants to win EL that year
I am giving them biggest chance to do that
English clubs can be tired of PL competition
Shakhtar  will be much better in second leg but Eintracht has few good players
Jovic 21 striker is new rising star.So game is very much open

Don't forget Sevilla just yet.
Spanish teams have a way of bullying teams towards the final stages of European competitions. At least this has been happening so many times in the past decade.

I was watching early minutes for match Arsenal vs BATE and when the match was beginning Arsenal almost made first goal and i thought it will be an easy match for them so i didin't continue to watch but after seeing the final results it seems yesterday was not Arsenal day but i'm sure on the second leg Arsenal can win at least 2 goals

Surprised to see Arsenal lose to BATE Borisov, where are they even from
It’s only a 1-0 deficitt though, I’m sure the Gunners will advance unless Borisov score 1st then it could become difficult.

They conceded the goal the moment when the first half was ending. Then Lacazette got a red card and the team paralyzed.
It was better to try and keep the 1-0 and not concede another goal than chase for the equalizer.
Arsenal will get its chances in the second round on Emirates where I think they will score over 2 goals.

I'd still expect them to qualify for the next stage indeed, but I'll not be expecting too much from them considering their mediocre performance yesterday, they should take this tournament with uttermost importance, since that is their only shot of winning a silverware this season. But it seems they are not just ready yet.

[meliquiades]

Amazed after last night's matches that Chelsea and Arsenal are favourties and third favourites respectively to win the whole thing.

Would expect both to lose to the first decent team they face (in Arsenal's case, the first half-decent team as we saw last night...)

I have forgot indeed
Sevilla is EL twice winner
Anyway Ancelotti told that they will do everything to win and Napoli was playing really great football in CL group stage

Bate is from Belarus
It is always hard to play against teams from that part of Europe at his home
Whatever that Arsenal lost is even more strange because it was Bate first game after winter break

No, point of correction Sevilla have won Europa League five times, in 2006 and 2007 and then 3 Consecutive times in 2014, 2015 and 2016, They sure do no how to play in the competition and could go very far this year in the tournament once again.
