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

[hahay]

Barcelona would have enjoyed the best of Sergio Aguero.
They lost him several times to injury and finally to heart failure.
I know he's worth and I know what he can do to improve the team.

It was so unlucky for both Barcelona and Aguero. Barcelona needed Aguero when they were financially down, and they were always down in aspect of team structure and team form. It was when people did not want to go Barcelona that Aguero agreed to go. We all know that despite  his old age he woukd have done good things for the club.
It was not his fault he has heart issues, if it was a choice he will not be sick.

But as far as I know Aguero was willing to go to Barcelona because at that time Messi was still in Barcelona, until Messi finally left and maybe that's also the reason why Aguero got his health no longer good. Because before, Aguero really wanted to play with Messi but even so now Barcelona has improved. Also, in this round of 16 Barcelona will play against Galatasaray which of course also promises Barcelona to qualify for the quarter-finals, it will certainly be good to make Barcelona regain its best form.

Galatasaray actually doesn't have a really good squad this season. I think they were a little lucky in the European league, they were able to reach this stage. I watched Barcelona's last game and I can see how fit they are. Barcelona started to show an incredible change after Xavi, and as time passed, it puts Barcelona on it, football players.

Galatasaray is not with a good squad this season. moreover, they have to face strong teams in the European league. but it seems they are always ready in every game. that's what brought his luck this season.
while Barca, rose from adversity extraordinary. and now they are improving with the pattern applied by Xavi. Previously, it was difficult for Barca players to apply Xavi's training pattern. but after a follow-up to Xavi, their game looks to be improving.

This season Galatasaray has experienced a decline in performance compared to the previous season, but Galatasaray's performance in the Europa
League has been very good. Galatasaray managed to take first position in group E, Galatasaray played 6 matches without losing a single game.
This immediately led Galatasaray into the round of 16, the problem is that Galatasaray in the round of 16 directly faced Barcelona, ​​whose
performance is currently improving. It looks like Galatarasay's steps will stop and will be eliminated if confronted with Barcelona. Barcelona, ​​which has
now shown an amazing performance, the collaboration Barcelona players is also very solid. So the chances of Galatasaray to qualify are very small,
because the quality of the players that Barcelona has is much better than Galatasaray. Even I predict Barcelona is the strongest team in the Europa League,
and it is very likely that Barcelona will win the Europa League this year.

Xavi doing very well in Barcelona last few matches and It's very necessary for Barcelona.Barcelona last few matches played very well.Barcha improving match by match. I hope they will be more improve in next matches with Xavi.I hope Barcelona will be ended in top 4 in Europa Leaugue this season.

Barcelona improved a lot under his management and the signing with new players like Aubemayang was successful so far adding a boost for the team.
The team that won vs Napoli shouldn't be afraid from Galatasaray which is weaker imo. Barcelona should pass them and they are able to score big in the first leg tho.
Otherwise most of the other games are quite hard with slight advantage for Porto, Betis, Sevilla +/- Rangers. Atalanta - Leverkusen and Braga - Monaco are hard to predict tho.

In group stages Galatasaray was very good as they manage to win three games and 3 draw it is amazing performance against teams like Lazio and Marseille but now here things are completely changed because they are going to face Barcelona which is coming from behind and want to achieve something good for their end of this season and better start of next season as all already described now Xavi approach and pattern is working for them and players are feeling comfortable with this all most chances they will achieve much better than we watch them in start of this season reaching at third spot in La Liga is amazing achievement for them now they are heading for this match which is also not bad after beating Napoli now they are much comfortable and have great run for this title.

A lot have improvement for Barcelona after arrived several new player from Aubameyang, Ferran Torress and Adama Troure were all new player have bigger impact and contribution for team, although with focusing only forward position only but looks right now Barcelona as team always winning with bigger score, I see have potential for Barcelona on first leg against Galatasaray winning with bigger score the same when defeating Napoli on 2nd leg last several weeks ago.

Today we are going to see two games in the Europa League rematches. Betis are playing a home game against Eintracht Frankfurt. Betis are definitely the favourite team to win this game. Frankfurt are not that good to me. Betis' general performance so far has been very impressive. And I believe that they will maintain this good work here too. I expect them to win the first leg and create a good advantage for themselves. And Porto - Lyon game can be very tough. Porto are favoured but I still expect them to have big difficulties. Lyon are not easy to beat. I expect a similar scenario that was in the Lazio game for Porto. They could win by a one-goal difference.

[hahay]

Betis and Porto, will these two teams win in today's match? Considering these two teams are in a better position in their respective local leagues compared to their opponents and also, Betis and Porto in this first leg will be playing at home and therefore it looks like these two teams will really take advantage of their home matches today. But if it's uncertain, whether betting with the total goals option would be a good choice because these teams have the ability to score goals and because in some matches they also always score goals and concede.

[Spack17]

I think that Betis and Porto are absolute favourites to win today. And they must win too to be able to have the upper hand on their opponents in the rematches. Betis have an easier work but I can't say the same thing for Porto. They can have a bigger difficulty in defeating Lyon in Estadio do Dragao. Lyon are not doing good in the Ligue 1 this season and their focus must be on here highly. Porto can still win this match if they show one of their solid performances. I expect a very close match. And Betis could win by at least a gap by two goals I think.

Porto vs Lyon is a very extraordinary match, it is very difficult to predict who will win in the first leg later, Syaqiri will be the focus of the Lyon Olympics at the meeting tonight, because we know Syaqiri's experience cannot be doubted, even he once beat Barca In the second leg of the Champions League, when he was still in the Liferpol uniform, according to my prediction, Lyon will be able to trouble Porto's defense tomorrow night.

Both teams are playing their first leg at home and both teams are favorites overall in this round. I think if they want to pass Lyon and Frankfurt they need to win at home with at least 2 goals difference. Betis and Frankfurt match will be really intresting with their playing styles and how offensive they are.

I was totally unaware that there are already Europa League games this wednesday as i thought they are only played on thursday, so thank god i took a look into this thread today or i may have missed those games today. I agree with you that Betis is the favorite for the match tonight against Eintracht Frankfurt because they are just in a better shape in the last few weeks and months. They are on the 5th place in the Primera Division which is pretty good. At the same time Eintracht Frankfurt is having a pretty bad season so far and they are only on the 10th place in the german Bundesliga. I still think though that Frankfurt has strong players and they definitely have a good chance to beat Betis too.

Lyon and Porto matches seem to be relatively balanced matches in my opinion, because so far both teams have both had positive capital when playing in their respective leagues, porto, which is the leader of the primeira league standings, has had quite an impressive season and they managed to record 25 matches without defeat, as well as lyon who have been quite impressive in the league so far and so far they have continued to achieve positive results in the last 4 matches, besides that in the preliminary we can see if lyon appear quite impressive by winning 5 wins and 1 draw. Seeing the performance of Lyon and Porto this season, it looks like the match will end in a draw or defeat option with a thin score against one of the teams

For the first leg, I think a draw is not a big problem, but Porto will qualify for the quarter-finals because of the form they have at the moment. Lyon are good, but I think Porto are the favorites in the Europa League.

For other fixtures, Real Betis will probably win today's first leg against Eintracht Frankfurt although Real Betis' form has slumped in their last few league match so far. I think Real Betis will try to maximize their chances today at home to win the match and hope for a draw in the second leg. Playing at home should be able to make Real Betis able to win it easily.

Barcelona and Galatasaray will be one of the matches that are quite awaited in the opening leg 1 of the last 16 tomorrow, tomorrow's match in my opinion will be a fierce match especially since both teams are both aiming for a big win to secure their position in the second leg later, so far both teams have met 8 times, with 5 wins for Barcelona, ​​Galatasaray managed 1 time win and 2 matches ended in a draw, from head to head it looks like Barcelona are the favorites to win, but Galatasaray also cannot be underestimated in the match later because often Galatasaray are able to surprise his opponents in a match.

Yes it was a very close result, but for a win like two goals I don't think it will happen. Considering their quality is basically not much different, so it is very possible that they will still score with a draw and or win by one goal difference that could be the result that will happen. I personally don't believe they will win with clean sheets or end in a goalless draw, they are still very productive so far so it is very likely that the game will be interesting with goals scored by each team.

on paper I think Barcelona can easily beat Galatasaray and progress to the next round, judging from what Barcelona have been doing lately, they have come back and are much better and also Barcelona are really eyeing the Europa League trophy this season considering this is the only one trophy they are very likely to win this season, after their chances to catch Real Madrid in the domestic league is very difficult because the points are quite far behind.

If Barcelona can defeat Napoli then Galatasaray should be a walk over. we might agree both teams have equal zeal in their respective leagues but i think Xavi is more committed to winning the Europa. I predict Barcelona to win both legs against Galatasaray. Not to underestimate  Galatasaray but going by the late performance of FC Barcelona

It's a game I will have to keep my fingers crossed on. Especially between Porto and Lyon, those two are very stubborn and I will not be surprised if it ends in a draw. But Betis will have a whole lot on their plates today as Frankfurt are not smiling. They have not been impressive in previous la Liga games but tend to showcase talent whenever they are pitted in competitions like this. I expect goals in this game tho.

Have different level and quality between Napoli as 3trd position standing on Serie A than Galatasaray as 12th standing position on  Turkish Primer League, second leg last round Barcelona success defeated Napoli 4-1 and I think looks as easy for have bigger score result when against with Galatasaray on 1st leg europe league match, specially playing on Camp Nou with tens thousand fans support I think should easy for Barcelona make the same score or above scoring before against with Napoli, I have expectation to see Barcelona could pass to final europe league.
