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

[hahay]

Today's opening match is the Leipzig v Atalanta match, where currently the odds show that Leipzig as home is the favourite. The two teams previously found themselves in a similar situation against a strong team in the local league, Leipzig who played away to beat Dortmund in the Bundesliga. But on the contrary, Atalanta who even played at home against Napoli in Serie A got a defeat. With these factors, I think it's only natural that in this match Leipzig are favorites to win, it's interesting to watch because these two teams have never faced each other in any competition and for me, Atalanta still have a chance to be able to hold a draw.

Lyon indeed unbeatable since group stage and maybe in this match they are the favourite but do not forget West Ham has successfully to beat defending champion Sevilla and i think every West Ham opponents should not be underestimate them anymore because they can playing unpredictable so in my view West Ham could be tough opponent for Lyon and won't be easy to defeated especially playing at home

West Ham have improved a lot from the first leg, even they're not have high ball possession but they can shoot more than Sevilla. It's was unpredictable since many people speculate Sevilla would win because their first leg they have won. Lyon is really hard to beat, Karl Toko Ekambi is a good shooter rather than Benrahma IMO. I'd say West Ham is inconsistent with their performance, they're sometime good but sometime they're not good too.

Tonight Quarter Final Fixtures

Leizpig vs Atalanta
Frankfurt vs Barcelona
Braga vs Rangers
West Ham vs Lyon

Knock out rounds are usually unpredictable because league form does not matter; i predict an atalanta draw, a frankfurt win, a rangers win and a lyon draw. What do you reckon ?

What a good games line ups the quarter-final games tonight will see Barcelona taking on Frankfurt which for my prediction it will be a winning game for Barcelona but this is football anything can happen let's wait to see the outcome of the match.

Lyon and West Ham are almost the same quality team. Both teams are quite irregular. So it is not clear which team will win today's match. Often these teams show excellent performance and even win against strong opponents. As a home team, West Ham's players will be a bit more confident. And this confidence will probably help them to perform better. West Ham's performance against Sevilla was good. If they can do the same today, they are more likely to win.

On the contrary, i do not agree that West Ham team are irregular, they are just tired lately due to low quality squad, this has seen rice, soucket and attackers play almost all game this season; this has seen them struggle in the EPL after Europa games and to be honest; they still get results. With Moyes and WestHam looking to make history, i see a 2 nil victory for the hammers today

Lyon's performance is indeed inconsistent in Ligue 1, but if we look at Lyon's performance in the Europa League it is very different. Lyon until now
in the Europa League has not been defeated, so quite a lot of people predict Lyon will beat West Ham. But I have a different prediction, because I see
West Ham's chances of winning are much higher. In addition to West Ham managed to get rid of Sevilla, which is one of the strong teams in La Liga,
West Ham also like Lyon played very well since the group stage in the Europa League. So actually their strength is not much different, but because
it is a typical Premier League team, West Ham will play more aggressively if they play at home. It looks like Lyon will find it difficult to deal with attacks
from West Ham players, unlike Lyon, West Ham's performances are also quite good in the Premier League. Even West Ham this season still has
the opportunity to enter the top 4 in the Premier League, therefore I predict West Ham will beat Lyon in the first leg.

At this moment in time, West Ham seems to be better than Lyon. But in the home match with Lyon, I think it will be really hard for West Ham to defeat them.

But I don't think the margin is going to be big even though West Ham gets defeated in an away match. And we have seen in this Europa league that the team playing away in the second leg has done well at times.

So, I am starting to give second thoughts about West Ham winning this competition against Lyon. but generally speaking, it should be a win for West Ham.

of course West Ham have a greater chance to win the match against Lyon because Lyon have played very inconsistently this season and West Ham of course are in high confidence and also the last few games they have had positive results in the domestic league.
I believe West Ham will win and bet on it.

Westham vs Lyon
From statistics or history Lyon has more knowledge about the Europe competitions. They have appeared more times than Westham but in the France ligue, they are not close to the Europe category and it can be correct to say that they have lost out this year. Can their past experience work for them this this match? I doubt, it is unlikely because Westham has been excellent in this year Europa by topping their group and most surprisenly eliminated Sevilla, the King of Europa. By eliminating Sevilla made me believe that Westham can eliminate Lyon at this stage of the game.

Again, Westham who rather started very well in the English premier league has been pushed off the top four. By chasing and getting Europa League will be a good compensation for them this season. I think it has really been long they rose to this height in Europa League, I strongly believe they can achieve it this season. They only tough opposition I'm envisaging is the Barcelona.

Leipzig are now in better shape than Atalanta. Atalanta recently fought for the Champions League zone with Juventus in Serie A, and now they are in 7th place. Leipzig, on the other hand, only improves their game, and as proof, in the last round of the Bundesliga, they confidently beat Borussia Dortmund. This match may be interesting because both teams play attacking football and both are very resultative, so I expect at least four goals in this match.

[boltz]

Best game for me today is Marseille vs Paok as both teams have a great squad and two of the most fanatic fans from the world.  I will cheer for Paok as Lucescu is from my country and even more , he is from my born city but Paok will have a super hard game and I doubt they can win or take a draw today because Stade Vélodrome is really a hard stadium to win on.

If you look at the last few matches between the two teams, of course, Leipzig is much better than Atalanta, however, this match will not be easy for Leipzig because this is a Europa League match that all teams want to do better, and if you look at the quality of the two teams, it is not much different. .
although Leipzig are favorites to win I predict Atalanta will put up a strong fight and I believe that there will be a lot of goals scored in this match, betting on goals over I think will be very profitable.

I think the same thing both teams are quite active in scoring with Leipzig more confident because playing at home Atalanta may get into trouble against Leipzig
Betting on Leipzig is not bad but but I know both teams to score seems safer things that make me more sure Atalanta always score in every UEFA match
Even more than one goal on average same thing with Leipzig of course the advantages of playing at home must be taken advantage of.

Barcelona are getting close to playing their first leg game against Frankfurt away. It is going to be played tomorrow night. For this game, Barcelona are the closest team to win a victory clearly. Especially after coming across a tough fight by Galatasaray in the previous round, I expect Barcelona to become well-prepared for the games of this matchup. I think that they will finish Frankfurt off in the first leg already and secure a good advantage. Frankfurt are no match for them normally as we all know.

I'm giving Barcelona a win their because they are really in a superb form.Frankfort cannot stand their force.The man in front is getting goals regularly and scoring for fun at the club( Aubameyang).The former Arsenal man has proved Arteta wrong for selling him.
Adama Troure and Pedri are two people who continue to improve under Xavi Hernandez,their performances have been really impressing and they are the reasons Barca is winning matches back to back.

Barcelona is going to be the winners in this match because they have been playing really well in recent times and they have made a really good comeback. I really cannot imagine them losing a match against Frankfurt right now.  Barcelona really seems to be Unstoppable at the moment. but it is an away match for Barcelona so they need to be careful. and they must not underestimate their opponent because obviously there is a reason why Frankfurt is at this level of the competition.

[casperBGD]

interesting matches tonight, Barca is playing in Frankfurt, that already kicked-out Betis from Europa league

Braga will fight Rangers, West Ham vs Lyon, and Atalanta vs Leipzig, where all teams have chances to be in semi-final, but Barca is best pick to win the competition
I would go with goals on West Ham and Atalanta matches, will be really hard to pick winners here

[Bloodseekers]

I think Barcelona will win this match tonight, Barcelona players should not underestimate Frankfurt if they don't want to be like Bayern Munich, which surprisingly lost to Villareal, even though Bayern Munich are very favored.
if we look at statistically Barcelona are very superior because they have just toppled Sevilla and Barcelona's game is very good.
I hope that Barcelona will not waste this opportunity to advance to the next round.

[fzkto]

Let's see what Barcelona will be capable of today. Hopefully they can at least draw with Eintracht. Eintracht are not such a weak opponent. Their last home matches have been draws, although the opponents were much weaker. But this is the Europa League, where teams get in for a reason. I hope Barcelona don't let them down tonight!

RB Leipzig - Atalanta

there are 17 minutes left for the game to start, this will be a very fun game to watch, atalanta have been very bad in series A these last few weeks, they lost points and in my opinion they were not playing well because they wereted a lot of opportunities. on the other side we have RB Leipzig who have improved a lot in the last few weeks to the point of being able to beat strong opponents and stay in the 4th position of the bundesliga. That's why I bet on RB Leipzig

I watched Leipzig's match against Dortmund. The entire match was dominated by Leipzig and they had a remarkable 4-1 win. I would expect the same performance from Leipzig players in today's match. Atalanta though is a very strong and experienced team. But now they are not in good form. Their performance in Serie A is quite weak. That's why Leipzig has a good chance of winning as a home team today.

Barcelona will certainly win easily even though the goal margin is not much because this is certainly influenced by several factors.one of which is the quality of the two teams where currently Frankfurt appear very inconsistent in the domestic competition where Frankfurt is only ranked 9th meanwhile Barcelona are in 2nd place in their respective domestic competitions.Barcelona will not experience any difficulties when they travel to Frankfurt headquarters this morning

[ILuckyGuyI]

Braga - Rangers is going to be one of the most competitive games of the night. For the first leg, I'm going to be favouring Braga to win honestly. I see them one step ahead after seeing their performance against Monaco here in the previous round. Rangers are a weaker team than Monaco normally. But as they have reached this level, they are no team to be underestimated from now on. If Braga give the same level of importance to this game too, they can get a win by one goal I think.
