⚽UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Winners: Eintracht Frankfurt!

[adamvp]

One should be careful betting on Europa League, but with lower stakes I will be taking Leicester win against AEK Athens who is having many missing players and team quality is way below English Premier league, and I am taking Tottenham win against Antwerp for similar reasons.
I am also going to watch some matches and try live betting.

Don't bet for english teams in Europa League, look at last matchday, they often plays shamefully  bad. Avoid  betting for english teams.

Bundesliga teams in the Uefa Europa seems like the way to go for a bet. Bayern leverkusen trashed Slavia Prague 4-0 while, with 32 minutes on the clock, Hoffenhiem is already winning Gent in a 2-0 goal lead.
I was greatly disturbed with the AS Roma play this evening against CSKA Sofia. Roma played as though they had nothing to loose, the already qualified mindset kind of play. If only they knew people placed bets on them, I would have hoped for more. Arsenal has just been amazing and they did themselves proud this evening by wining yet another 3 point in a Dundalk 2-4 Arsenal. It's just awful Dundalk would be living without winning a match.

In a dramatic match, Rijeka beat AZ with a goal in the last minute!
What a drama and the first victory of Rijeka.
If they had just had a little more luck in some group matches, they might have even been able to win second place and continue competing.
If Dinamo wins tonight, this could be a fantastic evening for Croatian football.

My boys (Rijeka) were good tonight and they brought us some well deserved points to finish this European season. It was unrealistic to expect more of them in a group with Napoli and Sociedad.

Dinamo won 3:1 tonight so as you said very good day for Croatian football. Should help with our coefficients in the years to come as well. They will be a little sad since they conceded first goal in Europe this season but first place in the group will erase that quickly. They were the only team that did not concede a single goal in group stages of both CL and EL. CSKA and Feynoord were really disappointing in this group.

Lists of clubs that going to the next round:
GROUP A: Roma, Young Boys
GROUP B: Arsenal, Molde
GROUP C: Leverkusen, Slavia Prague
GROUP D: Rangers, Benfica
GROUP E: PSV, Granada
GROUP F: Napoli, Real Sociedad
GROUP G: Leicester, Braga
GROUP H: AC Milan, Lille
GROUP I: Villareal, Tel-Aviv
GROUP J: Tottenham, Antwerp
GROUP K: Dinamo Zagreb, Wolfsburg
GROUP L: Hoffenhaim, Crvena Zvezda

AC Milan vs Sparta Prague is very entertaining in the last minutes, Milan makes around 3 counter attack but failed to find the net, and Sparta Prague have 1 counter attack, lucky for Milan because Tatarusanu make a good save to keep 3 points for Milan.

I had the exact same opinion as you and I decided to go a bit low on just a few teams parlay, but It was just AS Roma only that cost me my winnings, I was literally expecting one of the English team to fumble but, the fact that they're playing at home made me believe that there wouldn't much stress (with travelling e.t.c) so there is no reason not to  play a good Starting XI

With all due respect to the German teams and the Bundesliga, I have already forgotten when a German team did not just win, but simply reached the final of the UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League, so this is not such a clear statement of the question. Spain has already put on a winning streak in this tournament. Arsenal are playing quite well in this season's tournament, but the results in the Premier League are just terrible and I'm not sure that such success will inspire the club's management to continue working with the head coach in the event of failures in England.

GROUP J: Tottenham, Antwerp

I was surprised to see the Belgian side Antwerp which they are equally to be called underdog qualifying for the next round in group J, where the Bulgaria giant Ludogorets Razgrad got zero point, Ludo might at least scaled through even to 2nd position because of their champions league experience, its a shame on them winning no single match or draw any at all.

It is interesting and entertaining for the Sparta Prague vs AC Milan match, maybe because AC Milan only uses 2 main players
so the match looks balanced. So both teams have quite a lot of chances to score goals, like you said AC Milan's have 3 counter
attacks failed. But because the quality of AC Milan's players was still above Sparta Prague, AC Milan finally won the match.
With this victory, AC Milan will qualify for the next round as group winners.

Did you guys saw last minutes of Napoli - Real Sociedad? Both teams literally stopped playing because draw would let both teams into next round. Meanwhile, AZ surprisingly lost to underdog Rijeka and it cost them place in next round.
Dinamo Zagreb continue powerful performance, another easy win. It's only a bit pity that today they conceded 1st goal in group stage.
Quite big surprise is Wolfsberger win against Feyenoord. This result eliminated Feyenoord from competition.
Roma suffered big loss against CSKA Sofia, but it's meaningless game for both teams.
Bayer continue to destroy everything in their road. If they continue to play like now, I think it's possible to even win title for them, but still long road ahead.

I feel bad for missing out on a bet like this. I initially planned on placing single bets on Leicester city, Tottenham and  Ac milan all to win their game but couldn't do so due to a busy day. Now, All 3 teams won their games and finished their europa league group stage campaign on a high.

Sorry to everyone whose betslips got messed up by AS Roma. I knew we would've an upset like this, just didn't know which of our fav teams will fall short today. Roma had already qualify so they had little to nothing to lose.

Lol, this statement just make it seem like, Ac Milan were not out for the competitiveness of the game but a mare fulfilment of what I'd required by FIFA and it also portrays Sparta Prague like a weak team!!! I hate to see them that way. Though they lost, they had quite a game and I don't believe is due to AC Milan haven't reserved a couple of players.

It's in leagues such as this that the champions are really defined though, it has a lot to do with your grouping as a club though but then, every team can be top dogs in there league, not having to earn a point in leagues such as these shows how much work needs to be done on the team.

Told you that AS Roma odds was another trap

Too bad that Leverkusen was too good that their opponent couldn't manage a single goal which made me lose the bet.

@buwaytress that was close. Only two matches spoiled your 25/1 bet.

Moving on, who are your favorite/s or darkhorse/s to advance to the QF?

Arsenal performed well in their Europa games winning all the six matches with 100% record unfortunately could not transform their form in Europa to EPL, kudos to the new boy Folarin Balogun for scoring another goal in their match against Dundalk yesterday. I believed that result could trigger the resurgence of the gunner in EPL as the battle Burnsley this weekend.
Goals from Ünder and Barnes ensures a comfortable win for Leicester another EPL team in Europa who also top group G table and consequently qualified for the next 32 round.
Tottenham also lead their table with a defeat to Antwerp and moved to next group stages, EPL teams performed excellently in their Europa outings which is well remarkable and a good achievement.

[marioantonini]

I did not like the last 10 miutes of napoli-real sociedad at all. After the draw (which Napoli could probably also avoid) and after knowing that Alkmaar was losing and therefore both would pass, they stopped playing. 5 minutes of recovery made only of fake backwards passes from Napoli, they could at least pretend to attack, so it's ridiculous

[BIT-BENDER]

Roma was the bad team of last night for me, italian teams are making predictions hard when they are playing in Europe, it was English teams before but yesterday they all won their matches, then it started with Inter-milan and Roma, even Napoli could only make way with a draw, against the spanish season revelation, except that it was an exciting europa league seeing Arsenal scoring that amount of Goal is good for their confident after the derby loss.

[cryptofrka]

Shame, Dinamo was 15 minutes away from a unique record. To make it worse, a Croatian player playing for CSKA scored that goal - the only one Dinamo has conceded in 6 group stage games.

Rijeka did great as well, it seemed that their draw at Anoeta in the 5th game would kick Sociedad out of the group stage. But Rijeka played really well and got their 1st win against Alkmaar - deserved, considering they played well in most of their games.

Great result for Croatian club coefficient, hopefully Dinamo continues with great results in the knockouts as well.

Arsenal was perfect (never losing) from the start of the league.  This round of 32 was even more interesting with the appearance of MU who dropped from UCL.  curious whether MU will meet Arsenal, it will be very exciting if that happens!!

Arsenal play level is very good when compared to the teams in their group. Only Molde was the one that I thought had the potential of beating team but they defeated Molde in both matches. Good start with swiping teams in group stage but let's see if they can keep it in next stage as well or not.

Or Lille or AZ Alkmaar. Both those teams gave the weakest team in their group their wins too, and yes maybe because of qualification metrics they did not have to be so strenous in their midweek efforts,,, but on the other hand Celtic have been so poor plus Rijeka was never even supposed to win.

Arsenal can win games but they seem to not understand English teams.

@Chrystora123 if Arsenal end up facing Manchester United then they’ll be knocked out of this competition, but let’s hope that they don’t face them so soon maybe at a later stage in the tournament like the semi finals. Furthermore I would love to see Tottenham vs Manchester United in the finale, and to be honest I would support Mourinho to win it.
