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

[poldanmig]

we will have many games, here are my games that I will analyze for a possible bet:

Spartak Moscow - Legia Warszawa

FK Crvena Zvezda - SC Braga

GNK Dinamo Zagreb - West Ham

Galatasaray - SS Lazio

Real Betis Balompie - Celtic Glasgow

AS Monaco FC - SK Sturm Graz

Leicester City - Napoli

Olympiacos - Royal Antwerp FC

Eintracht Frankfurt - Fenerbahce

I agree with most, for West Ham I think we might see a draw too. Betis is better than Celtic. Olympiacos and Monaco to win tho. Leicester vs Napoli is the hardest and best match in the upcoming games.

Of the several existing matches, the Leicester City and Napoli match is one bigmatch that is worth watching, Of course the match against Napoli could be an opportunity for Leicester City to improve their performance and return to winning ways after they were previously beaten by Manchester City in the league, and of course this will be a pretty exciting and balanced match, because this season Napoli are also in a pretty positive trend and unbeaten in the league and victory against Juventus in the third week of Serie A will certainly increase the enthusiasm for Napoli to get 3 points in that match.

I really don't think that Dinamo Zagreb can beat West Ham. I know that they are playing at home but they lost against Sheriff and I don't see how they could win this game. Then again, maybe they get extra motivation because they are playing against a big club like West Ham. That happend in the past when they won big games just to lose against some small club like Sheriff.

I didn't say Dinamo Zagreb can beat West Ham although it might be possible if WHU played miserably, I rather think that it might end with a draw if WHU isn't fit in that game or Dinamo showing an exceptional performance. If I have to choose, I think double chance West Ham or draw but the odds aren't interesting @1.37...

The Turkish clubs in the tournament have matches like this tomorrow:

Galatasaray - Lazio : This can be a really interesting match I think. To be honest, even if the match is in Turkey, I think that Lazio are the favourite side. They have really dangerous players and they started the Serie A really good also. They were beaten by Milan the last time though. But they are still a powerful team in the end. On the other hand, Galatasaray are struggling when it comes to defense. If Lazio make use of this weakness, they would finish their opponent in the first half already.

E. Frankfurt - Fenerbahce : This should be a very competitive match I think. Both teams are one of the best teams in their leagues. As it is going to be played in Germany, maybe Frankfurt can get an advantageous result but I wouldn't like to be so sure. Fenerbahce are normally one step ahead of them now. We can see goals from both sides and it can end in a draw.

Yeah, I misread your post. West Ham could understimate Dinamo like other big teams did in the past do a draw is quite possible. If I were betting, I'd take x2 (draw or guest win) even though the odds are quite low.

Betting a double chance with odds like that, I think it's pretty decent too and not too bad. But by the way, Zagreb is the strongest team in 1. HNL and vice versa, West Ham seems to have lost something terrible and unlike in the first two games in the EPL. That way maybe I will assume these two teams currently have a level that is not much different. Because of that too, I think both teams are able to make goals so I believe this match will be colored by goals from both teams and about who wins, I think both have the same chance to win.

@snipe I personally feel that West Ham have what it takes to win, and they very well know that winning the premier league is going to be difficult hence I’m hoping that they’ll focus a lot on prioritising the Europa League. Lastly I just hope that they don’t announce a weak lineup, because they’re facing Manchester United this weekend in the premier league.

Uh, I wouldn't go that far to say that both teams have equal chance to win. True, Dinamo is the strongest team in the 1. HNL, but since I'm from Croatia, I know that it doesn't mean that much when it comes to European teams. I would not be happier if Dinamo wins, but I really don't think they have what it takes. We'll see tomorrow.

One of the interesting games tonight is Leicester - Napoli. These teams both are really powerful. Playing home is a good advantage for Leicester here. I think that they are the favourite side and Napoli will have an even tougher game. But I still expect goals from both teams. And at the end, Leicester can win this by one goal at least.

[KTChampions]

Spartak - Legia 0 - 1
Quite an unexpected result (and quite offensive as Legia scored the winning goal already in the added minutes). The game was equal, but Spartak could not realize a single moment of his own. Considering the defeat to a direct competitor and the general composition of the group, Spartak made an application to take 4th place in the group.

So far the two teams have never met once, so we can be sure that the match will be quite fierce to aim for a good record in their first meeting, although playing at home will certainly not provide significant benefits for Leicester City, especially since they have just recently defeated by manchester city in front of their own supporters, even though acting as a guest team but i think napoli will be very difficult for leicester in this match, because napoli are currently in pretty good condition and are unbeaten in the league this season.
 My prediction is leicester city 1 vs 2 Napoli.

Most likely, they will really take 4th place in the group, because I doubt they can beat Leicester or Napoli even once. And since they were beaten by Legia, they have no chance of at least 3rd place. But if you think about it, what's the point of 3rd place? They won't make the playoffs from that spot in the group anyway.

On the other hand, Galatasaray are struggling when it comes to defense. If Lazio make use of this weakness, they would finish their opponent in the first half already.

Considering how difficult it was for Galatasaray in the qualifying matches, I think that Lazio should win tomorrow and the match should be productive, because Galatasaray's defense is conceding a lot of goals. Lazio lost the last game to Milan, but Milan is a strong club. in two previous games Lazio scored 9 goals, which is a very good indicator. I think tomorrow Lazio will also score 2 or 3 goals and win.

I know you are from Russia, therefore, you must understand the nuances around the Spartak team, especially in the 21-22 season, which is an anniversary for it. Fans will forgive the poor results with Leicester and Napoli, but the defeat to Legia (and most likely not the last) has already caused a huge amount of negativity towards the club's management today.

Napoli were in a good trend at the start of the season so in this match even though they are away, I think Napoli are still capable of scoring goals. I personally bet on total goals/over goals because predicting who will win I think is difficult, because even though Leicester don't look promising this time, I'm just anticipating big changes that might happen in this match. So yes, betting on both teams to score or betting on total goals, I think can be a good betting option for this match.

The first match I'm interested in is Lokomotiv vs Marseille... Traditionally Russian clubs have been losing in Euro tournaments lately and this match will most probably not be an exception, although Loko is not a bad club in principle, but Marseille is still stronger...
Next up is Dinamo Zagreb vs West Ham... Judging by the latest games of Dinamo, they haven`t lost on home field for a long time, so I`m not so sure about the English victory! I don't understand why bookmakers are favouring them...
Well another match I'd be willing to bet on is Leicester vs Napoli! That'll be a really interesting match! I think the Italians will win!

Clubs from Premiership will always be favorites against any Croatian club, no matter what is their position in the Premiership. Dinamo is dominating Croatian 1. HNL but that doesn't mean they can be favorites against West Ham. I'd say that at least two thirds of Premiership clubs are definitely favorites against Dinamo or any other Croatian club. That doesn't mean Dinamo can't win tonight because in football surprises are normal (like when Dinamo won against Totenham last spring), but for me West Ham is by far stronger team than Dinamo.

I think tomorrow Lazio will also score 2 or 3 goals and win.

Even though playing at home, it doesn't seem like it will make much difference to galatasaray, the poor performances and results that galatasaray have in their last 3 matches in the Turkish League are the reasons for me to bet on lazio win in that match, even though lazio lost in his last match 2-0 from ac milan, but in this case lazio performance is still much better than galasaray.
I believe lazio will win the match with a score of more than 2.

The first match I'm interested in is Lokomotiv vs Marseille...

I didn't get a chance to enjoy the gameplay or the match between these two teams. However, since I will watch the Europa League matches, I have checked the results of the past matches of these two teams. Lokomtiv Moscow have not lost a single match in their last five matches, and have won three and drawn the other two. Marseille, on the other hand, have won three of their last five matches, a defeat and a draw. They have scored 8 goals and conceded 6 goals in the last 5 matches. Lokomtiv, on the other hand, has scored 8 goals in the last 5 matches and conceded 4 goals.

We'll see tomorrow.

Initially or in the past I always thought they had different levels or castes, so when they compete at European level or in this case the Europa League and or UCL in other competitions I have the same opinion as you. But for now, we can no longer distinguish or view them by level or caste because even rich teams with a myriad of star players can still slip up against mediocre teams. Therefore, these two teams still have equal chances because their level looks the same unlike rich team and poor team, these two teams have good management and that's why I say they have a chance to win.

Leicester - Napoli should be nice game to watch.
Celtic become so bad that Betis now is obvious favorite in this game.
Nice odds for West Ham win against Dinamo Zagreb.
Rangers - Lyon sounds nice. There is no favorite in this game, but I think that I'd give little advantage to Rangers.
Eintracht and Olympiacos wins is quite safe picks IMO.
