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

[mv1986]

i am 100% sure there will be an English team in the final or maybe you meant an English final which means the two sides would be from England, which also really close to happen, Man utd can beat Roma and qualify easily, i mean not easily but they're the closest, my guess is Man utd vs Arsenal will be the final, and Arsenal will win the title, we"ll see.

Not really, maybe 75% of both to be the winner, if the TOS arsenal and Mu meet in the semifinal the chance wouldn't happen. the same as the champion league the chance wouldn't happen if the city meets Chelsea. however, there are already results below.



now, we could have chance to bet all the England finalists.

Champions League; Manchester City vs Chelsea
Uefa League: Manchester United vs Arsenal.

my sat guess 1 of manchester (the city or red devil) will get one of the trophies.

Really big possibilty that we will have an england final in the europe league.It happened before i think it will happen again
Manchester has a harder opponent while Arsenal can struggle in most of matches

You mean an English final in both competitions, yes, but I'd prefer a different final in the Champions League. Manchester will get through, but Arsenal can struggle anytime.

ajax? are you sure!
this time Roma vs Ajax will take place at the Olympic stadium, which is Rome's home. very confident that Roma will exert full strength against Ajax. a thin score will definitely create in this match, 1-0 possibility for Rome's victory.

Why not? Ajax is still a good team (if you watched the first leg then you know what I mean).
Ajax was unlucky on the 1st leg, they dominated the game but failed to score more goals (even a missed penalty kick by Tadic).
Both team still has the same chance although AS Roma has more advantages than Ajax.

what I said, once unlucky it will keep happening 'lol'...
I know that Ajax is much more qualified than Roma but their unlucky in the 1st leg makes the confidence of the Roman players stronger than Ajax. *no debate, at least I won the bet yesterday

Oh well, totally no surprises last night. Even Roma and Ajax drawing honestly was just a normal result, kudos to the Italians for beating their more fancied opponents though!

I didn't watch any games but very happy with the outcomes as I parlayed both English teams and got it nice on a big bet;)

Made up for my big losses on Dortmund!

I had seen the match of Ajax yesterday and they were again the better team. Too bad their second goal was rejected by the far. The goal of AS Roma came out of nothing.

Roma is not a pushover so we shouldn't underate them yet when they play Man Utd in the semi-final although the odd favors Man Utd however I think Arsenal will scale through at the expense of Villarreal because they know what is at stake now  is to win and utilize this opportunity, they are already eyeing the finals so their is no room for any complacency.

[swogerino]

I have lost so many bets betting against Slavia Prague in the previous rounds in Europa League and I am now finally happy to see a team from my preferred league the Epl beating Slavia like they deserved for making so many upsets before.Well done to Arsenal.

[buwaytress]

So did you end up making this bet? I hope you dont lol. I know the 5x odds was really tempting and I took it lol. Ikr Arsenal will be trying to win in the 2nd leg but was expecting this match to be another close match like the 1st leg but it turns out to be a nightmare for slavia

Haha no I didn't, but the underdogs I picked were behind at half time anyway (Granada and Dinamo Zagreb) so don't worry, I still lost heh.

On the other hand, I took a pretty Arsenal Betbuilder at 3/1 that was almost won by HT, I was ready to take 6/1 for adding Pepe in as anytime goalscorer but ah well. The betbuilder alone evened me out, so was nice to pocket the HT wins as well

Very happy! As a final step, Gunners were parlayed with another 4 games today as a hedge, so I did well in Europa haha.

[Woodie]

Slavia Prague - Arsenal I bet on Slavia Prague to qualify.

I really dont know what happened with Slavia Prague, they did everything right, talk of ball possession.. they had over 60% of it, i know it doesn't always win you games but it buys you a chance to get the ball where you want it to be, but unfortunately these guys were pathetic in front of goal could not even register a shot on target in the 90 minutes played!!

Worse off they had the home advantage playing from a turf they know very well, whats even disappointing is the gave Arsenal a scare when they played away giving their fans hope of a possible qualification by winning when the game comes home.

Maybe we blame the ref for some bad calls, or was this a fixed match?

[Jackl87]

It looks like Arsenal have already destroyed Slavia Prague in the first half, 3-0. I was expecting Arsenal to finish the job here but I must admit that I wasn't expecting them to finish Slavia in the first half already.    So, the result of the first leg shouldn't mislead you as Arsenal are a PL team and they are way more powerful team than Slavia normally. I know also that D. Zagreb managed to eliminate one of the EPL teams but I didn't have an expectation from Slavia to do the same.

That clear victory of Arsenal came completely unexpected to me. I mean if you watched the game Arsenal did not even look that good as Slavia Praha had more ball possession and therefore more control over the game but they did not manage to make even one shot on target during the whole game, so the victory of Arsenal is a deserved one. You have to admit though that everything went for arsenal in this game i mean they scored 3 goals within 6 Minutes after that it was pretty clear that slavia had no chance anymore.

[W Jr.]

Arsenal won by a clear score. 4-0 is a very good score. They have paid for the good game. Rome's draw and pass the tour met the expectations. Manchester United eliminated Granada with 4 goals in total. At UEFA, I had surprise expectations, but favorites won.

[cryptofrka]

I really dislike VAR more and more. It is a great technical improvement but if you give a computer to a monkey, he'll probably break it.

I don't know how it's even possible, but they drew the lines during Villarreal - Dinamo game at the wrong moment. I think it would still be onside, but we cannot be sure because they didn't measure properly.

Tough for Dinamo to take, both opening Villarreal goals are doubtful. It was never a penalty in the 1st game and yesterday's goal was not 100% clear as well.

Champions League; Manchester City vs Chelsea

my sat guess 1 of manchester (the city or red devil) will get one of the trophies.

Manchester United are not strong enough to 100% win the Europa League trophy. The same for Manchester City in Champions League.

I would like to see PSG win the Champions League the first time with the Arabian owners. It will be a booster for the club and the next season will be more interesting when PSG, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich will have more transfers to strengthen their power.

I think you are too optimistic with 2 internal England final matches. Chelsea and Arsenal are not too strong and they will have many challenges from opponents in the semi final matches.

my sat guess 1 of manchester (the city or red devil) will get one of the trophies.

Now imagine the red half of Manchester celebrating EL and 3 days later the blue half celebrating CL!
ManU could really win this year, Roma barely survived Ajax and ain't mission impossible for the red Devils. Arsenal and Villarreal aren't also stronger than them. After missing EPL this year easily, ManU should take EL. At the opposite, for City the mission is very hard. Might the best win!

I guess that now their main objective is to take EL and I can't see them losing it. But until the final, we never know.
As for Man City, it might be hard but not impossible. They have the team to overcome and qualify. Why not?

Manchester United will play AS Roma in El. Roma is a good enough team. Winning against them will not be easy. On the other hand, Manchester City will play against PSG in CL. I look forward to seeing how Manchester City's defenders perform against PSG's tough attacking lineup. Basically, both matches are hard to predict.

[jostorres]

I know that Zagreb is a good team and they managed to come here by beating Tottenham so they did proved themselves to be a great team, but I believe Villareal will be the winners again, not just to go to next stage but winners again as in they will win the game. However I am going to avoid that game, it is just way too risky for me, Zagreb could end up winning, they proved that they could play better than most teams if they are on their best day.

Arsenal game will be easy to bet, I believe they are going to win, I know first game was a tie and that seemed very bad for Arsenal, but I believe we are going to see much better result from Arsenal today, it will definitely be easier game. Plus tomorrow is better, United will surely win and I think Roma could hold off Ajax as well at least on their own home court, so I think 3 games total for this week would be enough for me.

Many time that people have mentioned that Villareal would win it and Zagreb was good but they were good so far and would be eliminated. Knew that Villareal will go up but also knew that they would win it as well, that was a good bet and brought a decent amount. I have came out 3/4 from this week, knew the Villareal win, knew that Arsenal game, didn't even assumed it would be that great, I thought it would be like 1-0 or 2-0 win at best, they got it at 4-0 that is marvelous, doesn't matter really as long as they won I got my money.

United game was known by everyone, that game should had 1.00 odds, it should have been not even be available to gamble, anyone who wagered on Granada is just throwing paper out in the air and waiting for it to turn into dollar by the time it came down. Which is why I really do not think that many people did, only a handful I suppose, I am not proud of that win, it was too obvious.

Easy for England to be honest.
The money in football is unbalanced is so easy for Uk's team to get better coaches, players, doctors, stadiums, etc when you have 2 times or even 3 times the money of the other European's team.
The EuroLeague should be a thing to permit a fair competition, In England, they have 3 Billion € from TVs while the other countries can receive around 1 Billion, so an easy game for them...

It's like going to a 3 stars Michelin restaurant with 10€... You will be not able to eat.

Yes but see how Arsenal played against Prague, three goals within a couple of minutes. That's lucky, they won't reproduce it, but games can go that way and why shouldn't it go that way for other teams as well on a lucky day? I think in a semifinal chances are relatively equal for any team although you still have the home and away game, which gives a slight edge to the team which seems to be better on paper.

[3meek]

I think that in the final we will see the match Man U vs Villareal... I don't think Arsenal can beat the Spanish club, and I don't think Roma will win against the Red Devils...
Too many English clubs are playing in the finals of the European Championships this season!

I agree with you on this lol; Unai Emery face Arsenal with a point to proof since their unceremonious exit few years back; but the true question is can arsenal challenge ? Manchester United play Roma over 2 legs; Roma meanwhile plays a high line that favors Ole and mufc playing style; with few players suspended for the first leg; would Roma change tactics to contain MUFC? is there a midfield in Europa league that can contain Pogba, Bruno, Fred and Scott? i do not think so.
