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

[Kusman]

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.

It is true that Leicester v Napoli match should be a very competitive match. They are both strong teams and I can't say that Leicester have a big advantage just because they are playing home. Napoli are a very capable team to defeat them there also.
I'm not sure if Frankfurt win is a safe option. Because I don't think that Fenerbahce are a team to be underestimated. And if you noticed, Frankfurt are performing a little worse compared to the last season. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a draw at the end.

They are two teams that lost their tickets to Champions League in final days of the last season. I meant their quality are as good as many clubs in Champions League. It is a big match in Europa League.

Don't forget that Napoli has very good results in Serie A and they just got three points from Juventus last weekend. Anyway this match will happen in England so Leicester City will have some advantages with their home stadium and fans.

Nice odds for West Ham win against Dinamo Zagreb.

nice odds, but I not sure that West ham is closer to win in Zagreb than Dinamo, will be interesting dough, and match could go on each side
Zvezda is playing Braga at home, and I think that win should not be a question, while the odds have value

Roma should be a winner, and Gent should not have a problem in Estonia

maybe best match from my perspective could be PSV - Sociedad, expect goals, BTTS and over3.5 as riskier option

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.

Statistics are a thing of estimation!
Marseille looks stronger, personally, in my opinion... They play in a completely different league to other, stronger clubs than Russian Lokomotiv! Although everything can be... There have been a lot of surprises in Eurocups lately... But I think that Marseille will beat Lokomotiv today!

Don't forget that Napoli has very good results in Serie A and they just got three points from Juventus last weekend. Anyway this match will happen in England so Leicester City will have some advantages with their home stadium and fans.

Napoli's position in Serie A is good this time, but Leicester's position is not that much good. They lost 4-1 against West Ham. Leicester's main problem is their lack of consistency in performance. However, since this is their home match and Leicester is not a weak team, they have a chance to win this match.

[jakdanyel]

I think that the match of the day is Leicester v Napoli. Leicester started with 2 wins and 2 losses in the EPL. But one of them was against Manchester City and the other one happened as a result of getting a red card. They are playing decently normally I mean. Napoli won all of their league matches so far. And they defeated Juventus 2-1 the last time. They are in a better form so I don't think that they will lose this match also. I think that both teams will score and Napoli won't lose this.

[Balmain]

Everything looks good in the league for the Napoli team, so far they haven't lost any points. Leicester City will struggle well in this match, but my favorite is Napoli. The other match that I will definitely watch today will be the Galatasaray-Lazio match. I want Galatasaray to win, if we are realistic, things are not very good in galatasaray. Likewise, I watched the Lazio-Milan match last week. Lazio's game is not very effective, Milan did not have any difficulties. I don't think there will be many goals in this game.

[Spack17]

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.

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.

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.

I see that Lazio have a 2.21 odd for their victory. This is quite favorable for me to be honest. Galatasaray have a really low chance with their defense like I said. They can focus on scoring more but their attacking power is not bigger than Lazio's. So, Lazio shouldn't have too much problem on getting ahead every time. Lazio might win by one or two goals.

Leicester's main problem is their lack of consistency in performance. However, since this is their home match and Leicester is not a weak team, they have a chance to win this match.

Essentially, the problem of any top team that can't finish top of their league every season (and yes, even Liverpool at some point lacked that consistency, though their problems were easier to identify). Europa is truly the poisoned chalice. Play well and you can navigate far, and pick up not a bad amount of prize money either. But you also sacrifice performance domestically -- probably at the expense of league cups and FA cups (which carry a UCL ticket).

I do fancy Napoli, but I know Vardy fancies a home win too. Vardy to score, and BTTS -- a yellow card each. I'd make that my "sure bet".

The other match that I will definitely watch today will be the Galatasaray-Lazio match. I want Galatasaray to win, if we are realistic, things are not very good in galatasaray. Likewise, I watched the Lazio-Milan match last week. Lazio's game is not very effective, Milan did not have any difficulties. I don't think there will be many goals in this game.

Don’t think the Lazio team is weak. Despite a 2-0 defeat to AC Milan, Lazio had a huge 6-1 win over Spezia in the previous match. Lazio also performs well against weaker teams. Galatasaray's defense on the other hand is not very good. Weak teams in the Super Liga and Galatasaray can score against it. If Galatasaray's defenders can't perform well today, Lazio will win the match.

[ShowOff]

Leicester - Napoli should be nice game to watch.

Before we head to the Leicester City vs Napoli match, then I think the Galatasaray vs Lazio match also looks interesting to watch. These two teams seem to have equal strength in my opinion, but Galatasaray are playing quite well in the domestic league and are unbeaten in the last 4 match. I will be support Galatasaray today to win the game, and they have to do it perfectly at home.

They can focus on scoring more but their attacking power is not bigger than Lazio's. So, Lazio shouldn't have too much problem on getting ahead every time. Lazio might win by one or two goals.

I have about the same opinion. It seems to me that we still need to take into account the latest results of the Turkish national team and Besiktas in the Champions League - continuous defeats. I understand that this is most likely loosely connected, but it seems that unlucky times have come for the Turkish teams. And I think that tomorrow Fenerbahce will also lose.

[Kusman]

It seems like Lazio can win their match against Galatasaray today even though they have a high odd for their winning. Lazio are a much better team than their opponent in terms of performance. Galatasaray need to solve their defense problems first. I expect Lazio to score at least 2 goals and they can win this match with one or two-goal difference.

At the moment Napoli is the more on form than Leicester city at the moment. They have had an excellent start to their Serie A season, winning all three games so far under coach Luciano Spalletti, including Saturday’s 2-1 comeback victory over Juventus. Napoli are confident ahead of the big game in Leicester. They may have minor injury worries at the moment as Lorenzo Insigne and Mario Rui are expected to miss the game against Leicester city.  But with the depth of their squad, I think the absence of these players should not be a challenge. Home advantage is not really a deciding factor in the European league games. If you play well, definitely you will win.

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.

I think the match between Galatasaray and Lazio will be very exciting. Galatasaray is not in great form, but they can play a good match in their own field. This match may end in a draw. Galatasaray needs to make a good defense
Fenerbahçe is the favorite team in the other match. His opponent is not very strong, if nothing goes wrong, they can get a comfortable win

Yes this two matches should be really intresting to watch.But for you to say that Fenerbahce is the clear favorite in this match i dont agree with that.Frankfurt is playing really bad lately,bad they are playing at home and they arent weak at all at home.Still trying to find form maybe Fenerbahce can go on that card that Frankfurt cannot win,but it will be far from and easy win.

[Avirunes]

What do you guys think about West Ham vs Dinamo Zagreb? Will the Hammers be able to beat best croatian side at their home? I am riding West Ham as Hammers attack will be the in-form beast Mitchel Antonio who I think has a good physicality and finish to score goals just hope they also don't allow Zagreb to find some room easily inside their box and allow to score some goals. Its first match for Hammers into European action and I expect David Moyes side to make the best first impression.

[Luzin]

Before we head to the Leicester City vs Napoli match,

Leicester City vs Napoli is interesting to watch. The end of the match was interesting, they both had different fates in the last match in the league. Napoli won 2-1 over Juve and Leicester City lost with Manchester City 0-1. My guess, Leicester City will win 1-0 because they are playing at their home. Moreover, supported by the fans, it will make Napoli a little afraid.

[baeva]

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.

I think there have always been questions. There will never be a team whose fans are always happy with the results. But you're right, what happened with Legia is not quite clear. And how it was possible to lose like that is also unclear. On the other hand, think back how many times have Russian teams lost or drawn to weak teams from other leagues? I remember more than once. So the result with Legia was not expected, yes, but it could safely be taken into account even before the match.  But okay, let's look at their results against Napoli and Leicester. Frankly, I'm even afraid to go to a match with Leicester because of such aggressive fans, as if they wouldn't beat me up there (I'm a Leicester fan ).

[LittleBitFunny]

At this moment, 8 matches of the Europe League are being held. No team has yet scored in the Galatasaray vs Lazio match. However, I was surprised to see that Ferencvaros are now 1-0 lead against the mighty Leverkusen. Celtic managed to score 2 goal in the match between Real Betis and Celtic. West Ham and FC Midtylland are 1 goal ahead of their opponents. No goals have been scored in the remaining matches yet.
