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

[condoras]

so many games and some surprises:

Leicester 0 - 2 Slavia praha

i expected leicester to win this game, this defeat was a surprise to me... leicester managed to beat liverpool and then beat aston villa, i thought they would be able to win this game

Milan 1 - 1 estrela vermelha

I also expected Milan to win

Clube Brugge 0 - 1 dinamo

I expected Dinamo to win

In other circumstances, I will expect the same results with you but since there are surprises, I always "afraid" to bet on 2nd round matches. The next 1st leg of the upcoming round will be different for sure...

Leceister - Slavia Praga was not a big mistake. Did you watched Slavia playing before ? Did you watched them in UCL last year ? This team is the force of East Europe and Leicester simply had no chance to stop them even if they were playing 100 extra minutes. The fact that Slavia won without making a big sacrifice of effort , makes me think that they can reach semi-finals without big problems. They're facing Rangers now and they have high chances to win against them.

How many did you lose in the Hoffenheim vs Molde match   a team that was very strong and predicted to win easily lost 0-2 lol
74% possesion and 27 shots but cannot change the score   I think this is what's called the covid match so you should be more careful in the next bet there will be another covid match.

Of the many surprising results from the Europa League, Hoffenheim vs Molde match quite caught my attention. Even though I didn't bet on this match,
I know both teams. So I am surprised that Hoffenheim, who is more superior and has better quality players than Molde, can lose by a score of 0-2.
Even if we look at the statistics of Hoffenheim vs Molde match, it is clear that Hoffenheim really dominates the match. But not a single goal Hoffenheim
could create. As you said, we should be even more careful when betting on the next match in a COVID-19 situation. Because now there are many
surprising results. As long as it is still in the COVID-19 situation, maybe the solution is not too big in placing bets, so when the game results do not
go according to our predictions. The losses we experience are not too big.

These times are really crazy. There are so many games at the moment where you can be sure of a win and then the underdog wins.

MU - Milan is biggest game obviously. With all respect to Dinamo Zagreb, Spurs probably are most lucky about draw. Though, I wouldn't write-off Dinamo completely. Molde is weakest team remaining,they got Granada who kicked out Napoli, but from what I saw, they weren't something special, so Molde have chance.

Completely agree, I laready said several times that Slavia is very good team. Though, I'm not sure that they can go through Rangers, they look very powerful this season.

It's probably biggest upset so far. And first game of these teams was something similar. Fortunately, I haven't lost yesterday, odds for Hoffenheim was just too low.

[Soonandwaite]

where are the German teams in the list?  this is really a catastrophe. no German team has made it this time.
has German football really become so bad or have all the other teams become better?
i really thought that both teams,hoffenheim and leverkusen would reach the next round .but that was a big mistake and the bets were lost

It is incredible that Leicester got eliminated to Slavia prag, I know it was talked a lot already but I still can't believe it and I want to say how incredible that was as well. Plus Milan being tied to Redstar twice? That is incredible and I do not think that it would really be too shocking for us to handle something like that as gamblers who didn't see all of this coming, at least I didn't.

United had a tie as well but they had 4 goals before so I am sure they just didn't care, but that is another game we couldn't foresee neither, it is really incredible. Leverkuse losing to Young boys? They lost the first game as well so they are totally gone. Basically if you wagered on this leg of the Europa cup, you probably lost a lot of money, sure there could be some people who won but 90%+ of the people who wagered on this leg of the Europa cup you probably lost money.

It is really shocking to see that Leicester are eliminated from the Europa League. We can really see very interesting results in this tournament. Milan also surprised me by not winning any of the two games in their draw. I don't know maybe they didn't give much importance here. Because if they really took it seriously, I think the results would be totally different than these.

The match between Milan and Manchester United is an early final. Both teams wanted to get the European Cup this year. After this match, a team will not be able to continue. It will be as exciting as the champions league matches. my favorite is Manchester.

[Altryist]

Crvena Zvezda isn't team that Milan should be afraid of. Yeah, draw is enough for them to go further, but I doubt that such result would satisfy them. 1.50 odds isn't something amazing, but maybe it's worth to put bigger stake.

How did you like Crvena Zvezda yesterday? They moved faster and deserved more than they received. But Milan are a very experienced team and they went through yesterday just by experience. For the referee, Milan was the favorite yesterday. But it's normal, if in the playoffs the referee makes a mistake not in favor of a big club, then his career can be in doubt.

Milan passed simply because they had a lot more luck in both games with the Red Star.
Milan saved the goalkeeper and the inexperience of the Red Star defenders who made beginner's mistakes.
Only Dinamo remained in the competition from clubs from this part of Europe.
Tottenham have to save the season in the game against Dinamo and it will not be easy for them even though they are the favorites to win.

Yes, probably it would have been better for both teams to visit themselves some time in the future but that is not the case this time and therefore I agree with you.
The team that is going to pass the turn can have a huge advantage going forward as the only other good teams I see able to win EL are Roma and Tottenham.

I was really surprised about Crvena Zvezda performance. Especially because I considered them as a team which play well at home only.
But Milan looks very disappointin in recent weeks, in this game only luck and maybe referee helped them.

Yep ...
Even with one player less, Milan had a lot of work to be able to hold that draw and qualify for the round of 16, merits for to VAR who caught the ball in Gobeljic's hand and canceled out another goal by Nabouhane later.
Crvena Zvezda played better than Milan and deserved to have won and qualified, sometimes it's good to renew the championship with a "not favorite" team, unfortunately, that wasn't possible here.

Ps.: I bet on the draw for that game

[dre1982]

Ajax Young Boys could be an interesting match. Ajax could had a worst draw. If Ajax plays like the first match against Lyon theybgot a good chance.

[ILuckyGuyI]

In the last 16 round, there is a very interesting draw, Manchester Utd-Milan. This is like one of the early finals in this tournament.    Manchester Utd literally destroyed Real Sociedad. But Milan had so much difficulty in eliminating FK Crvena zvezda. I see Manchester Utd closer to advancing to the quarter finals. The first game of the draw will give us some opinion about which team can manage to do it.

[StartupAnalyst]

Milan and Manchester United both deserve to be in the Europa League final. But this year one of them will be unlucky. This is the main match of the tour for me.

And of course it will be interesting to watch the match Roma - Shakhtar. Although I think Roma will win, but I'll be rooting for Shakhtar.

[tyz]

It is incredible that Leicester got eliminated to Slavia prag, ...

Same to Leverkusen, that got elimiated by Young Boys Bern. For me, Molde and Young Boys Bern have been the big surprises in the Euro League this season. If nothing extraordinary happens, then Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester or AC Milan should take the title. Maybe Ajax Amsterdam could cause a surprise too.

[Red Pie]

Slavia eliminated Leicester, but I don't think their chance against Rangers will be enough.  Glasgow is having an excellent season this year.  They're way ahead of Celtic in the scotch league.  I think the Uefa cup will be one of the finalist teams.

It looks like Rangers take this tournament seriously. They want the title in the Premiership and to do their best in the Europa League too. For this season, I think Slavia have no chance against them and Rangers will finish the job already in the first match.
