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

[baeva]

By the way, I don't know about "both sides to score". After all, Monaco is playing at home. PSV scored a good goal, but one and that was at home. So the French can hold back the defense in their own walls and even with the support of not a small number of fans, PSV clearly will be very difficult to score, and even more importantly do not miss. I would bet on the total of more than two goals

Monaco just shockingly lost the match in the French championship, in the match in which they were the favorites.
The question is how this defeat will affect the Monaco players before this important match with PSV.
This match is very important for both teams, and Monaco is getting closer to its goal of passing the group with a possible victory.
I expect an exciting match with a lot of goals, and I give Monaco a better chance of winning.

It may seem silly, I do not know, but I often see teams lose before Champions League or Europa League matches. I generally think that before such matches the teams don't give their all and the result is not very important for them, the main thing is to perform well in the Champions League and Europa League. So to speak, they save their strength and try not to get injured

In my opinion the first match between Napoli and Legia was quite boring, yes indeed Legia had held Napoli for a while, but entering the second half, Legia seemed to have lost their concentration and Napoli successfully surrounded Legia defense quite freely and it was proven by the creation of 3 goals in the last minutes of the match, in the second match later, I think Napoli will also be able to play dominantly at legia home, especially now Napoli need points to be able to secure their position in the group C standings.

I am curious if Osimhen will be used in this match again!

osimhen's goal in the 80' minute in the first game against Legia then really surprised me. I really believe Napoli will win easily from the leaders of Group C Legia and shift their position

Osimhen this season has been truly extraordinary and has managed to score 4 European league goals and also 5 goals in the league, I think he will definitely return to play in that match, especially against Legia which is quite an important match for Napoli to keep their chances of qualifying, even though Napoli managed to beat legia in the previous match, but I believe that legia will be very difficult for Napoli later, moreover they will play at home and it looks like they will only look for a draw in that match for they can lock their qualification.

I'm quite curious about the Legia - Napoli match in three days also. They played against each other in Naples and Napoli defeated them by 3-0. But all of the goals came in the last 15 minutes which showed that Legia still managed to resist their very tough competitor for a long time. So the thing that I wonder is whether Legia will get a point in this one. I think they have the potential to do this. Right now, Legia are the leader with 6 points and Napoli are following them with 4 points.

Legia is enough to make everyone stunned with their performance in the first 3 matches even though they lost to Napoli but they can beat Leicester and Spartak is something good.
and in this match they must at least be able to hold a draw against Napoli so that they still have a chance to go to the next phase.
but it seems that this will be a little difficult because what is against them now is Napoli which incidentally is having the upper hand.
besides that leicester has started to heat up it seems and they are ready to overtake whenever the opportunity arises

^ 3 teams in Group C have the same amount of points. So this will be an important match for Napoli to make sure they qualify for the next round. Osimhen has been phenomenal this season and I'm sure he can hold onto his form and although Napoli will play an away match, I'm optimistic that they will be able to win this one.  One thing I like is that Napoli has a patient build-up to the game and tries to convert every chance they get to score.

It all depends on the strategy that the club's management will choose - in my opinion, it would be logical for them to end their performance in the Europa League and focus on Serie A. In addition, it is very likely that their main competitor at the moment, Milan, will finish their performance in the Champions League and also will have a good reserve of strength in the fight for the Scudetto.

Napoli knows that they can not win both Europa League and Scudetto. They can have other chances in Europa League but in Serie A, they will hardly to have good chance like this season.

I believe that Napoli will sacrifice Europa League and totally focus their resources for Serie A. They will play and try to win matches in Europa League but not with their best players. Players when playing will fight with their best to win so their alternative players can help them win. Nevertheless, it is fine if they lose it with alternative players.

Yes, this is a frequent occurrence when the reserve squad plays at least as well as the main squad because it rarely has a chance to show itself and increase its chances of getting into the main squad. But in any case, when we are discussing this match, we have to make too many different assumptions in which we cannot be sure, so I will refrain from betting here, the result looks completely random to me.

But I'm sure the fact isn't that easy because it's a big chance for Napoli who might win both of these tournaments, I'm sure Napoli won't waste this opportunity which means Napoli will still focus here too. Milan itself is not their own desire to be eliminated in the group phase in CL, they have fought hard there but the results are still not as expected. So, as long as Napoli can still take advantage of the opportunities in the Europa League, then I believe the match against Legia tomorrow, Napoli still has a chance to win.

This group is one of the most complicated ones. Under normal circumstances I don't think Napoli need three points there, a draw would be more than enough for them. Sure they will play to win but Warszawa away game is though already. The problem is they lost against Spartak Moscow at home and that hurt them. They have to win in Moscow and beat Leicester at home, that way they can qualify. Other option would be win here in Warszawa, that make things much easier. My point is if they draw in this match it's not the end of the world.

Competition is still quite tight for each group. Napoli and Leicester have the same point "4 point" in Group C and I think it will be difficult for all the team in Group C to ensure qualification for the next round. It would be strange for Napoli if they couldn't qualify considering they are the strongest team at the moment in Serie A. I would consider two team "Napoli and Leicester" to qualify for the next round despite having to go through the playoff.

There is such a practice, but it depends on many factors, and the main one will be the level of the opponent against whom the team will play in the Euro Cups. You need to look at what lineup the team is putting up for this match, which of the main players are given a rest before an important match. You can try to use this if you approach this match thoroughly, but this does not always mean that the team will play worse or lose.

Youre true, group C is one of the groups that has quite competitive competition so far, at first I thought that Napoli and Leicester would be more dominant in that group, but after seeing the surprise from Spartak who managed to beat Napoli, I started to think that now all teams have the same chance to qualify and even legia who are currently at the top of the standings can be said not to be in a safe position.

Apparently, all teams in the UCL are top teams and trophy winners in there respective league so no doubt, putting in a little effort could produce some tough challenges. Again, given the fact if we are yo face it, it all narrows down in the round of 16 or knockout stage. The elite clubs according to fifa ranking would most times come out to dominate and that doesn't elude the possibility of some surprises from the mid tier teams but, that's the way it is.

As for today's game, I've not been very impress with Chelsea thus far, I had thought the game would have been over from the first half but its been a little of a struggle.

The last time Napoli was champion in 1990. I doubt that many modern Napoli fans remember these times, they need new milestones. The Europa League is a consolation game and a kind of sump for the Champions League. By the way, because of this, victory in the tournament is not guaranteed, even if Napoli concentrates on it, since after the end of the group stage in the Champions League, the Europa League will be strengthened by a number of serious teams.

Chelsea has been plagued by injuries, and they did not go with their entire team. I expected a tough encounter because Malmo needed to win to have a chance of qualifying for the Europa League. Chelsea made multiple chances  in the first half to try to end the game, but they were not clinical enough in front of goal.

Currently, Napoli having good position in League and in this Europa Cup good for them but in next few matches they have to do some better effort in first two matches they were not good on target but having good win against Legia give them good confidence even still it is very tough for them having good result in Europa League they can prove some worth 1990 is very long time now one new generation of their fans already grow, and they never give them any good title so this year they are doing very good they have some good time for taking better results and having silverware in their pocket because their squad is giving them good results for recent matches, and they are eligible for win.

An unfortunate match for Chelsea. Chelsea has got a number of important players out because of injuries. Their both strikers, Lukaku and Werner are out and so are Kovacic and Mount. Tuchel had to play Havertz as the striker which he's not. The thing is that he didn't even have any options but that. Unless one of Werner or Lukaku is fit, Chelsea might have some problems in the scoring department in the upcoming match.

Galatasaray are going to play against Lokomotiv Moscow home tomorrow evening. I really liked to watch them in their last head-to-head as Galatasaray managed to win with a 1-0 result away by showing a really awesome performance. And the goal was also fascinating. Tomorrow, I expect another victory for Galatasaray as long as they show the same level of performance at worst.

Lokomotiv is a team that has a fairly weak defense in group E and they have conceded 4 goals in 3 matches in the european league, in contrast to galatasaray who have now achieved perfect points and have not conceded a single goal, in my opinion if galatasaray can improve their front line later of course they will get an easy victory from the Lokomotiv, I see even though Galatasaray have a strong defense but their attack line is quite blunt in the last 3 matches so they always win by a thin score.
