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

[BITCOIN4X]

Waiting for April 9, four matches will take place together.
Arsenal vs Slavia Prague
Granada vs Man United
Ajax  vs  Roma
Dinamo Zagrep vs Villareal

Perhaps the most interesting is Roma vs Ajax.  Arsenal, Man United and Villareal will be the seeds here. I think the three of them are superior in terms of players, and maybe they will qualify for the next phase. For Roma and Ajax, this match is difficult to predict, the win in the first leg of this match is very useful for the second leg.

It is not certain that the seeds team will win easily against its opponent, but it is true that the odds are much greater when the comparison is the quality of the players. Manchester United, Villareal and Arsenal are predicted to win in the first leg but if their opponent play badly enough. It seem that Ajax vs Roma will be a tough match for both of them. But I think Roma will qualify this time.

Are you pretty sure Arsenal and Villarreal will win easily?
Look at their opponents, the big name teams here are not a benchmark and you can see from the previous results that Zagreb got a comeback from Tottenham. Wow, Arsenal and Tottenham who are better in the EPL?
The match is still uncertain as even these are the best teams full of surprises including Granada. So. anyone still has a chance to win and I'm really not sure the big names you guys mention will win easily here, they still need a big effort to win.

[BITCOIN4X]

Are you pretty sure Arsenal and Villarreal will win easily?

No, I'm not too sure about Arsenal. They are not as good as I thought this season. But I don't think Slavia Prague will be a tough enough opponent for Arsenal mentally and in the composition of the team even though statistically Slavia Prague are better in the domestic league. Slavia are the leaders in the top Czech league, but it will be quite difficult in my opinion against Arsenal. My Plan B is a draw.

I agree with you to say that anything is still possible because football is a team game that can't be accurately predicted. Everyone still has a chance, but only a win will take them to the next stage.

For Roma and Ajax, this match is difficult to predict, the win in the first leg of this match is very useful for the second leg.

Ajax vs Roma will be a very tough one. But it feels like Roma will get an advantageous result away in the first leg.

Slavia and Granada eliminated much tougher opponents than them in the last round. Therefore, Arsenal and Manchester Utd should be very careful against them and shouldn't underestimate them.

The same thing is valid for Villarreal also as their opponent managed to eliminate one of the favorites in the tournament in the last round, Tottenham.

[Koal-84]

Yes Manchester united are the favorite, but i think Arsenal, Roma and Ajax have also a good chance to win.

I agree that Manchester United and Ajax have good chances of winning, Roma and Arsenal, they are weaker and I'm even a little surprised that Arsenal has a lower odds than Ajax. I would be interested to watch the final of Manchester United - Ajax. But Manchester United looks like the strongest of the above teams.

That would be a good final with big names, I would be happy. But there is still a long way to go and the quarter-final opponents have to be eliminated. Is the final even possible Ajax against Manchester United?

The current betting odds:



Seen nobody has Prague and Dinamo on their list 

The odds of 28 on Granade are way too high. They are playing really well and the Spanish league is not at all as weak this year as it was last year. Note that Manchester is a 2.8 favorite which is weak and unrealistic. This team is too unstable.

[Luzin]

Is the final even possible Ajax against Manchester United?

I'm sure, a lot of people are championing Manchester United for the European Cup this year. As a Manchester United fan I agree with you. But in football anything can happen. Many big clubs lose to smaller clubs. Ajak and Manchester have to fight hard to get into the final. There will still be four more matches to reach the final. If this happens I think it is the ideal final. They have players who deserve to meet in the final.

Ajax and Manchester were in the finals a few years ago. Manchester won easily but Ajax is nowadays a lot better. But as mentioned before there are a lot more games to play.

Too bad for Ajax Blind got injured and can't play the rest of the season.

[Trofo]

Seen nobody has Prague and Dinamo on their list 

Sure there is


These odds were taken from my local fiat bookie (Croatia), since I knew they will have odds for Dinamo. Probably lots of other bookies have them on offer as well.

[boltz]

Lewandowski to miss both of the UCL games against PSG and I'm afraid that the Bayern dream to win 2 consecutive UCL will end with this game. PSG will most likely play in the finals against City and I hope this will be the case just because right now this teams seems to play to best and most enjoyable football right now. Another fact for Bayern is that half of the team who lost against North Macedonia are playing for Bayern so they are not coming with a great morale at trainings.

As you can see here, it isn't possible to see Ajax - Manchester Utd final. But they could get a draw against each other in the semi finals. And then, I think Manchester Utd's chance for advancing to the final will be higher.

[cryptofrka]

Roma is a really good shot at 11 odds. I feel they are better than Ajax who is placed at 7.

I think I will go step by step here, so I will first bet on Roma to go through to the semis. If they will be paired with United, the odds on them going through will be higher so I'll just keep stacking my winnings. But yeah, I plan to bet on Roma to lift the trophy.

I don't think Manchester United is that much better in quality compared to Ajax,Arsenal and Roma.I think they are in a similar level when comparing these teams quality and I may add that Roma is truly an unpredictable team and you can wait anything from them even winning the Europa League this year.I think we have a very balanced number of contenders to win the Europa League and I don't think the odds from the bookmakers represent truly the quality of each team,it is just a bookmaker estimation.

Thanks, I was looking for a list of what is possible, since I've been an Ajax fan for a long time, I would like the final Ajax against Arsenal. But there is still a long way to go. The half-final duels Ajax against Manchester United and Roma against Arsenal would be very interesting, but others have a say as well.

My favorites in the European league for this leg Arsenal, Manchester United, Roma and Villareal.I think ManU will win the trophy.There are matches between much stronger teams compared to last years.It is very difficult to determine two teams for the final. I am waiting for April 9 with curiosity.

[ILuckyGuyI]

It's always very difficult to assess the balance of power in the final laps. The teams are not in the quarter-finals just because of luck, they have already shown performance. It will certainly depend on the form of the day in the next two games.

Also Ajax and Roma will play each other, and only one team will be left. Villareal will be playing Zagreb and both of those teams do not look like they will be capable of winning the title if you ask me, only team left is Arsenal and we all know they are not that great this year if you look at premier league, even if they came this far, it still means they may not end up winning. Long story short I believe it's quite possible that we may end up with United at the finals against a weaker team.

I am not saying they are guaranteed, but Ajax and Roma could have faced Zagreb and Villareal each and that would have been harder for United, this way they are already eliminated each other, which is why Uniteds job became easier if you ask me. That's why I think it's quite clear that if we do see United winning it this year it will not be a shock to anyone.

It wouldn't be a shock for people seeing Manchester Utd winning the title of course as they are one of the biggest favourites in the tournament.

I have also a feeling like we could see a final game between Arsenal and Manchester Utd. It would be very delightful to watch certainly.  

@ILuckyGuyI I don’t know how serious are Manchester United about winning this league, because they have almost secured their champions league spot, and hence I worry that they won’t be motivated enough to win it. Also Arsenal form is patchy this season hence I don’t expect them to make it to the finals.

It is true. If Manchester Utd would be having a bad season in the EPL, they could have given a big importance on here. But now, they may not show their best performance. But Arsenal have a really low chance to qualify for any tournament considering their place in the table. So, they may want to focus really much on the EL and win the title.

I am not so sure about Roma, they do not look possible to win that much but if you ask me Ajax and Arsenal are the other two teams that could win this aside from UNited.

However lets be real with each other it is obvious that we are going to see United win this whole thing, sure it looks like we could have something else because other teams are good too but the reality is that I do not think that those teams being good will help them that much when United is playing so well, we are talking about united playing at a level that should have been at champions league right now, and I mean like quarter finals of champions league at least, probably even semi finals if there is a good draw for them but with europa they are just way too good and that is why I think they are going to end up winning the whole cup and going home as the champions.

[Pulsar77]

We are only 4 days away from the first leg of the quarter finals. I'm gonna watch Ajax - Roma definitely. It will be a very nice game for sure. We can say that Ajax are already champions in their league and it is guaranteed for them to qualify for the Champions League also. But Roma don't have a similar situation. They had many bad results consecutively in the Serie A and it isn't certain for them to qualify for any tournament. So, I expect them to be more willing to advance to the semi finals compared to Ajax.

In a few days the Europa League will begin, indeed the most interesting match is Ajax vs Roma. Because the two are big teams with a large
number of supporters, compared to other quarter finals matches Ajax vs Roma is the most awaited a lot of people. But I predict that Ajax will
dominate the game more, especially when Ajax's performance is more stable in the Eredivisie. Compared to Roma, whose performance was poor
in Serie A, even from the last five matches in Serie A, Roma were only able to win twice. Looking at this data, it is likely that Ajax will win the match.

I also expect Ajax to win the first game by using their advantage of playing home. But it could be a win with a 1-goal difference. Because I don't expect Roma to play too bad. It is very likely to see both teams scoring in this one also.
