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

[Ulven]

The best game for me tonight will be the Leverkusen match against the Spanish club Real Betis!! I think that the result of a tie will be suitable for both clubs, and Celtic will work to reduce the difference and get a chance to make it among the favorites to the next round!! That's why I will place my bet in favor of Celtic and draw for Betis.

We have 8 matches happening now. Genk has now scored a goal against West Ham. West Ham has own 3 matches out of 4 and Genk has own 2 matches out 4 and yes both are really performing well in the previous games but yes West Ham is going to challenge Genk even though Genk is leading the 1st half now. Joseph paintsl has made it on behalf of Genk.

[arallmuus]

Going with West Ham on this match, I think they have a solid chance at winning today since Genk is struggling a bit based on their recent form, and looks like others are on it as well as the odds are slowly moving down (1.80 atm).

West Ham would have been a solid pick but currently Genk is leading by scoring a goal. Im not sure if Moyes tries to slow things around because they dont really need to win this one especially after getting 3 wins so far but West Ham is going to play against Liverpool in the next 3 days so it kinda make sense if Moyes is keeping the players in check for the next EPL match

[Daniel91]

It would be important for Dinamo if West Ham took their game against Genk seriously. They would be mathematically secure with the 3 points today so I feel they will play to win.

In that case, Dinamo would make a huge step towards qualifying if they manage to beat Rapid today. They are a much better team overall but it has to be shown on the pitch. They were terrible in Wien a few weeks ago.

Even though their points are the same but I personally only believe that Zagreb will be able to be in 2nd position in the end, so it is very possible that in the next 2 matches Zagreb will win. Also, if West Ham win this match, then for the next match maybe West Ham will lower the tension so that it opens opportunities for Zagreb as well. It would be a shame if Zagreb did not take advantage of this situation to continue to advance to the knockout stages, because Zagreb itself is a great team from 1. HNL and that should be the guarantee this time.

Personally, I think that this team Dinamo is the weakest in the last few seasons, and it is obvious that coach Krznar does not have enough experience and also poorly prepares tactics for international matches, and does not have enough authority towards the players.
I'm especially worried about this match tonight with Rapid and I'm not sure that Dinamo is the favorite, as some others think.
If Dinamo does not win tonight, then they most likely lost their chances not only for the second but also for the third place in the group.
I still give Dinamo a little more chances, I would say 60/40 for Dinamo.
What is certain is that Dinamo players must not underestimate Rapid this time and must be much more aggressive than in Vienna.
If Dinamo wins and Genk loses in the second match against West Ham, it will give Dinamo a great chance to win second place in the group.

Unfortunately, we can already say that Legia lost. The beginning was quite optimistic and with some luck Legia could lead with an advantage of two goals, but nevertheless, Napoli's players were higher in class and were able to turn the tide of the meeting. If today Leicester wins Spartak at home (of which I'm sure) Legia will move from first place to third.

[buwaytress]

Murderous night for me in Europa, after a fairly okay UCL round. Absolutely got slaughtered by Monaco, West Ham, Galatasaray, Rangers, all finding a way to draw when they needed all the points to either confirm qualification or stay alive.

If I were still thinking to bet, I'd be taking my money out and saying goodnight. Unfortunately, I've already placed bets with legs active. Let's see if Leicester and Celtic can save British face tonight.

[Pulsar77]

We are going to watch a nice game between Monaco and PSV this week I think. Nine days ago, PSV hosted them and Monaco managed to beat them by 2-1 away in a tough game. They won thanks to the goal came in the 89th minute. Monaco are the current leader of the group also. I have really missed this powerful Monaco since the last season. They have been performing really good lately. And I think that they will obtain another victory in this game. But my first choice would be both teams to score.

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 looks like we couldn't make a good prediction.    The Monaco - PSV game today was just one of the most boring games ever. None of the teams got even one shot on target on their attempts. This is a very poor performance for both sides. I'm glad that I didn't place a bet on both teams to score.    I would lose my bet by far after this poor result. But Monaco are still the leader as Real Sociedad got a draw against Sturm Graz today also.

The beginning was quite optimistic and with some luck Legia could lead with an advantage of two goals, but nevertheless, Napoli's players were higher in class and were able to turn the tide of the meeting. If today Leicester wins Spartak at home (of which I'm sure) Legia will move from first place to third.

Despite controlling the match, but napoli were a bit surprised when they conceded a goal in the 10th minute and it was clear that the napoli players were getting a little pressured in the first half, but luckily they were able to get 2 penalty goals and managed to comeback with a score of 1-4 in the match,  In my opinion, the Leicester and Spartak match will be a fierce match because whoever can win the match will be able to occupy the second position in the group C standings.

[iv4n]

I have a bet for tonight, I think of it as a safe... but is there a safe bet in sports betting?



Braga is playing better football than Ludogorets, I believe they will win this game! Red Star is struggling, but I guess they will settle with a draw at least if they don't win the game! Celtic can be a surprise, I don't expect a draw in this game definitely, there can be only one so my bet is 1 or 2! Nice odds for these bets, and as you see I will go for it! Good luck all!

[3meek]

West Ham played poorly against Genk, although they had opportunities to win this game! Now let's see how Leicester play, I hope they don't let them down tonight! England have disappointed me so far...
By the way, it's interesting to watch the Marseille v Lazio match... I don't understand why the chances of the visitors winning are so high?

[Slow death]

in my case it was the same thing, whenever i bet on these Europa League games i always lose bets, unlike the champions league where i do well


today is being a nightmare, all the games in which I thought I would have some profit, the teams ended up in a draw, I wonder if I will have any success in the rest of today's games

West Ham scored 2 goals in the second half, after losing in the first half and was in the best opportunity of winning the match. But they made a own goal, which resulted to the game ending in 2-2 draw. It was a great match.
The first half is about to end and Leicester is yet to score a goal, Although, they are dominating the match. They have high probabilities of winning the match.
Lazio is losing and the first will soon end, I literally don't want Lazio to lose this match. However, Marseille is at home, and also don't want to lose their home match. The match is getting more tough and interesting.

[baeva]

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.

It's not that Lokomotiv's defense is weak, they basically have a lot of holes in their lineup that are hard to patch. There are a couple of good players, but it's not enough to win in European competitions. It used to be better, but many players just run away to Europe if offered (and this sometimes happens). For me personally Galatasaray is a winner in this match without any effort, even with their strikers who have been playing lately.

Mostly Russian clubs having not good quality players because they have some serious issues with funds which are not available like many other European clubs having just because of this many players run away as they have some better offers from other clubs even they are not in first tier clubs because they give them some better wagers.

Currently, both Russian clubs at bottom of their groups, and they have no chance for having some better results in these matches. Galatasaray is very good club right now they are on top, and they are going to have this spot until end of this round their quality is some better than Russians.

Naturally, they will not get out of the group, the level is too low for that. And the problem of Russian clubs is a bit not in weak players, but in corruption, I do not know what country you are from, but here you can get into a serious team if your parents bring money to the club) Of course not all go that way, there are players who make it to a serious club by Russian standards, but there are also many who get in through money. That's why we have such a level of soccer, because good players are simply not taken to the clubs, and they take the rich in advance...

Right now we are in last 15 minutes of most games and all favorites are doing good job for winning their games, just English club Leicester is having some problems and going with draw against Spartak Moscow Vardy missed penalty. If they fail to produce another goal then surely going to stay at third position in their group.

In another match Midtjylland is leading against favorite Crvena zvezda goal through own by Zvezda player look like Midityliand can win and have third spot in their group.

[LTU_btc]

Entertaining matchday in Europa League with some surprises.
What a big win by Bayer against Betis - 4:0.
Leicester is so inconsistent this season that they weren't able to win against Spartak at home. Vardy missed penalty and foxes is risking not to reach next round.
Lazio - Marseille was good game to watch and it ended 2:2.
Dinamo Zagreb achieved very important win against Rapid.
One of biggest surprise is Real Sociedad draw with Sturm.
Midtjylland win against Crvena Zvezda away is also big surprise. Early red card played huge role in this game.
But Monaco 0:0 PSV and 0 shots on target by both teams is something disgraceful.

[LGD2Business]

Even though Marseille played so well and shoot so many shots, they could only score one goal other than a penalty. In the match they should have won, they saved the draw in the last minutes. With this result, the probability of advancing to next round decreased. Even if they win their own games, they are no longer in control. Marseille was the favorite of this group but they are now in third place. Lazio, on the other hand, got a very important point and they will probably finish the group as the leader.

I think that the result of a tie will be suitable for both clubs, and Celtic will work to reduce the difference and get a chance to make it among the favorites to the next round!! That's why I will place my bet in favor of Celtic and draw for Betis.

I am not sure if we watched the same match, but Betis terribly lost against Leverkusen. Shortly before the end it is 4 -0 for Leverkusen. Betis had no chance at all. I didn't bet on the match, but I already saw Leverkusen as favorites after watching the club's last Bundesliga games (with the exception of the disastrous Bayern game  ).

[Rruchi man]

The first half is about to end and Leicester is yet to score a goal, Although, they are dominating the match. They have high probabilities of winning the match.

Unfortunately, Leicester played a lot of possessive football, a lot of passing and moving the ball around behind, but it couldn't get them anywhere. A win in this game was very important for their europa campaign, but they couldn't secure it, the players didn't show any hunger to attack and get goals, they just seemed okay passing the ball to one another alone. I never expected Vardy to miss that penalty, but this is football and anything can happen regardless of who and the experience they have. Defensively Leicester has to improve really, they have been conceding very poor goals lately.

[blue Snow]

West Ham just needs 1 step to go. If they win tonight they should be the first club to go to the next round. there's still 1 more club, Lyon with perfect points. ..

@blue Snow the odds are slightly lower for my liking, but if I had to recommend one team for the win then it would be West Ham, because they have been absolutely brilliant since the season started. Also Genk will try their best but I see West Ham winning it by 1 - 0 or 2 - 1, and what score line are you expecting for this fixture?.

West ham (1 different goal), but Genk playing well, they created a shock goal at the beginning that makes them a bit depressed. Moyes is quite observant to change the strategy by substituting several players at the beginning of 2nd half and got ahead, benrahma save them and they're just unlucky tonight. West ham still on top just need to draw in the rest of the schedule.

West Ham just needs 1 step to go. If they win tonight they should be the first club to go to the next round. there's still 1 more club, Lyon with perfect points. So far, West Ham's performance very well in the last 5 games, they never lost. they only lost against Brentford before. West Ham turns with a full team with favorite to win, odds Genks 3.9 and west ham 1.9, draw 3.7. Genk just needs a miracle and full support from the stadium if wants to continue in europe.

Going with West Ham on this match, I think they have a solid chance at winning today since Genk is struggling a bit based on their recent form, and looks like others are on it as well as the odds are slowly moving down (1.80 atm).

lucky them to hold the draw tonight. the games aren't expected to draw, seems like many people lost tonight, are you?

Crvena Zvezda against Midtjylland today ended in 0-1 for Midtjylland for me that was the biggest surprise of the day in the Europe League,that early red card change the entire match plus later an own goal by Crvena Zvezda and another red card for them and they even had a really good chance in the last minute to draw the match but in the end lost.
