Sevilla - Dinamo Zagreb can be another delightful matchup in this tournament. Sevilla are one of the biggest candidates of the Europa League title now. People are talking about Napoli, Barcelona and Dortmund about a title chance. But they are not the only contenders. Sevilla have the best history in this tournament among these teams. Dinamo Zagreb may be one of the decent clubs of the EL but I don't think that they can make a surprise against Sevilla.

Yeah, haven't they taken three Europa League titles in a row? Or am I wrong? Anyway, it's not the point, but they are certainly good title contenders, I think even in a match against a strong opponent (although if Dortmund and Barcelona are strong, what are they forgetting here? ), they are more likely to beat them

You are right @baeva. Sevilla won the Europe League trophies in 2013-2014, 2014-2015, and 2015-2016 seasonsu in a row. Sevilla have a good record when it comes to the Europe League. And also they are likely to win again this season. Although, it will be tough as they are other strong clubs also playing in the tournament. But, they will definitely win against Dinamo Zagreb, However, it will not be an easy task because Dinamo Zagreb will surely struggle to also win the match.

It is difficult to evaluate the strategy of Borussia, since we do not know what depends on what - whether it sells players out of a desire to make money, or whether it makes money by selling players from a lack of them. In any case, I'm sure Borussia has less money than Bavaria. As for Haaland, he himself inflates the hype around him - his performance is better than that of Ronaldo or any other player in his years.

I think the situation is already clear. Dortmund must sell Haaland. Not for financial reasons, Dortmund's balance sheet was relatively good compared to many other clubs in the last two pandemic years. But because Haaland has the exit clause and he will most likely pull it before the end of the contract period. Dortmund has already found a successor in Adeyemi from Salzburg. The club and the player are in agreement, only the amount of the transfer fee is still being haggled over.

Do you mean the sale at the transfer window or in the summer? If in the transfer window, then I do not see any advantages from this either for Borussia or for Haaland. And strategically speaking, the once lucrative business like the sale of players should reach a new level - after all, the top clubs that regularly perform successfully in the Champions League get good money even with stars in their squad (and with stellar salaries). I think Borussia should try to become a top club.

Keep in mind that Borussia is already publicly listed. They can't easily sell more shares of the club or raise tremendous amounts of money otherwise. Maybe, but they will also have a massive problem with their fanbase. That's very typical these days for clubs from Western Germany where most of the population is working in extremely intensive sectors that require physical work. Manchester United was literally burned down for the Super League plans. I don't know what's going to happen in Dortmund if they sell the club completely or so, but that's what they would have to do in order to keep players like Haaland.

I don't think Sevilla will have a problem winning against Dinamo Zagreb in this match.

They have a very good record in the Europa League, As they have won three consecutive trophies in a row. So far there look in very good shape and their form is also fine compared to Dinamo Zagreb's. So, I hope that Sevilla will be able to win this match with ease.
I have a small bet in next 18th February match.

Sevilla is a Europa League machine. I don't know how many players are still part of the squad that had an incredibly successful time in the Europa League, but they have the experience anyway. Dinamo Zagreb will have a hard time to play against such a defensively smart playing opponent.

Sevilla have everything to beat Dinamo Zagreb. In addition to his quality of play, as well as his experience in competition, he is halfway to making a good game. In addition, they are having an excellent domestic championship, being in second place in qualifying, with a big advantage over the third.

Even though I think that Sevilla this year is not a candidate for victory, I believe that this game they can overcome with some ease.

[coderben]

Dortmund and Sevilla are also the favourites for the Europa League title without any doubt. Dortmund have an easy competitor in the next round which is against Rangers. Rangers might be one of the best teams in Scotland but they don't have much chance against Dortmund in this matchup. Dortmund came down to this tournament but they might still be very eager to win the title here also. And Sevilla's opponent seems a little tougher. Dinamo Zagreb can make them difficulties especially in their home match. But Sevilla would still move on by eliminating them.

I think Dortmund should sell Haaland too.  Due to the special clause in his contract, it is considered certain that he will leave the team at the end of the year with a very cheap transfer fee.  Europe's giant teams are already competing with each other to sign contracts.  He will have a big positive impact on the team he will go to in terms of offense. He is very young, he will sign a long-term contract.  I think there is even a possibility that Haaland will sign one of the most lucrative contracts in the world.

Now we have new generation of start players from soccer world, and surely he is one off most attractive in this market recently some good talk about him and his future plans he is also very addicted about this and most chances he will go in Spain with most chances Barcelona is going to have him for their team because with this they are going to have very strong attack few days back Barcelona President already announces about his desire for Haaland could be in their team even they are facing some serious financial issues, but they are trying to settle things and the surely they are going to have this star in their team.

With their recent form now many chances they will be into top 4, and they will have some better chances for going into La Liga with some good power in next season.

The problem will be the issue of UEFA's financial Fair Play, which has made teams better manage their purchases.
Barcelona are a good example of this. They even wanted to buy Haaland, but for that they will need to sell 2 players, in order to enroll players in the competitions.
Therefore, perhaps it is the English clubs that are in a better position for this contract. We'll see.

I personally assume that even though Dortmund have the opportunity to qualify from this round, but it seems Dortmund is still not good enough to be nominated as a title winner. Dortmund and Sevilla are currently looking good in their respective leagues, they are placing second in their respective league standings as well. This can improve the team's performance in this tournament of course, let's see how far Dortmund will go because I'm not sure Dortmund will make it to the final match.

When it comes to Dortmund and Sevilla, I also think that they are big candidates for winning the EL championship. But I see Sevilla being one step ahead of Dortmund in this competition for the championship. Because Sevilla are a much more experienced team in this tournament. Becoming the champions four times in last ten years should be enough to tell something about it.    But we really can't know what team can make it when it comes to the EL. Maybe we will have a very unexpected champion team.

Bookmakers estimate the chances of Sevilla to win in the sum of 2 matches against Dynamo as 1.26, and Dynamo's chances as 3.5. It is obvious that Sevilla is the favorite and I can even say that the bet on it looks profitable - 26 percent guaranteed profit.
Sevilla's chances of winning the Europa League are also high - they only lower to Borussia, which is considered the favorite, however, judging by the odds, several clubs can win the tournament and there is no clear favorite among them.

If I'm not wrong, Sevilla has won the EL three times in a row and that is quite a big achievement. And if we compare the experience in EL, Sevilla will be quite ahead of Dortmund and experience does play an important role in these tournaments. I also wouldn't rule out Dortmund but probability-wise, I think Sevilla has the better chance.

Saying it's a guaranteed win is always risky!

It's true that Sevilla are in a much better position to win the game. But, we are talking about football, just one bad night from Sevilla, or one very inspired night from Dynamo, and the result changes completely.

You are right nothing is guaranteed in gambling as we have one of the biggest upsets in cricket history Bangladesh vs New Zealand with odds of @13 Bangladesh win first match even New Zealand were at @1.10 and peoples were feeling it's free money all teams need to do some hard work even they are very strong.

Currently, we have too many teams in Europa League with ability to win this title this year and just going with odds is never been good Sevilla is having very good record but right now after dropping from Champions League Barcelona, Porto and Dortmund all can clinch title and go through but with Sevilla have some better luck here surely going favorite behind Dortmund. Barcelona vs Napoli is also very crucial match as any team can win and have good chance for this year's title.

There is no clear favourite team for the Europa League title indeed as there are many alternatives. Sevilla, Barcelona, Napoli and Dortmund seem to be the biggest ones among them. Sevilla may not be the clear favourite but they seem to be a little more advantageous than the others I think. I claim this taking their successes into account. They are one of the most successful teams in the Europa League history. But we will see what they will do this time.

Right now every one is going with his own favorite as we have few top ranked clubs into this competition with Barcelona, Porto, Napoli And Dortmund but currently hype is around Sevilla due to their better results in past which is not going to work every time with covid19 is also having big impact on many teams performance and currently few other teams are also very serious about this competition with Dortmund it already announces they will try with full force for this year's title and Barcelona and Napoli are also other teams with big missions after coming out of Champions League. We have to wait for few rounds before having some clear outcome of this year's champion.

If we're talking about Sevilla, that's understandable, but to mention Dortmund, given that there's also Napoli and Barcelona (albeit not in the best shape), seems strange to me. Besides, there are other teams in the Europa League, anything can happen and one of those teams will bounce back from a weaker one... So I agree with what you said about the surprise champion.
