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

[snipie]

The first leg was over for Atalanta and Leipzig, a draw was inevitable after Leipzig scored an equalizer in the second half. Then these two teams will fight it out in the second leg on April 14 to fight for tickets to the semifinals. I think Atalanta will go through because of the home factor, so they have to really take their chances.

Next match:

Frankfurt vs Barcelona
West Ham vs Lyon
Braga vs Rangers

Barca won, West Ham won, while the latter might have been a draw. That's my prediction.

Leipzig 1-1 Atalanta was quite expected for many people tho but I assume many others have lost their bets. Same thing will happen in the other games if the results will be a draw.
Barca to win. Not sure in the other two games.

The first leg was over for Atalanta and Leipzig, a draw was inevitable after Leipzig scored an equalizer in the second half. Then these two teams will fight it out in the second leg on April 14 to fight for tickets to the semifinals. I think Atalanta will go through because of the home factor, so they have to really take their chances.

If you look at the game statistics, it might be 1-1 very fair result for both teams, in my opinion, the game from the two teams from the first half was quite balanced and their were able to create many opportunities for each other to score goals, but indeed the defense of the two teams was equally well coordinated and  forcing score  1-1 was the final result, although the result was fair enough, but leipzig who acted as hosts were clearly a bit unlucky because they were not able to take this factor as an advantage. With this draw, of course, the chances for both teams to qualify are still 50:50 at the moment, although the second leg will be played at atlanta home, but it doesn't look like it's a bad thing for leipzig later, because so far atlanta also doesn't have a good record when playing at home alone.

The Leipzig vs Atalanta match ended in a draw, after both teams appeared offensive and created many opportunities in the match. For me the match
was quite interesting, because both teams played a high tempo, especially Atalanta trying to take the initiative to attack first. Aggressive attacks
from Atalanta players finally made them manage to score a goal in the 17th minute.

After conceding Leipzig immediately responded by increasing the intensity of the attack, there were several opportunities from both teams. Even Leipzig
in the 57th minute got a penalty kick, unfortunately Andre Silva did not carry out his duties properly as executor. Leipzig failed to equalize after
Andre Silva failed to score with a penalty kick. But a minute later Leipzig managed to score a goal and make the score 1-1. Unfortunately,
until the game ended, no more goals were created. In that match a lot of shots hit the post, the decision will be decided in the second leg.
I agree with you the chances of both teams will be the same, because the strength of the two teams is almost the same, so I'm sure the second leg
will be much more interesting.

An interesting game by Leipzig against Atalanta. The hosts could have won this game, Atalanta played better. I wonder how the return match will end. For some reason many favoured Leipzig but it was a draw. I think there will be a decent response in Bergamo. In my opinion these matches are worthy of the final.

Eintracht Frankfurt - FC Barcelona


the game has just started, i bet on barcelona and i hope they can win this game

Good, I think you will win this bet for Barcelona and cover your loss for another match result which is not true. LOL
So far Barcelona have dominated this match even though they haven't created many chances. It was an interesting match where both teams played offensively. At least I don't think the match will end in a draw today.

[Dewi Aries]

RB Leipzig 1 - 1 Atalanta

I confess that this result made me very angry, it is impressive the amount of bad luck I had this week, I hope that barcelona manages to win at least so that I leave with a profit today, if they lose or draw then today I will not have any profit. very bad this week


Eintracht Frankfurt - FC Barcelona


the game has just started, i bet on barcelona and i hope they can win this game

So you only place one bet per match? that's not a good idea man moreover you only bet on 1x2 why not make 2 bets or more
Generally we have other bets to cover losses 1x2 or total goal and Both teams to score if lucky we can win all
Matches like the Europa League are sometimes unpredictable the first leg was the reason for some surprises.

[CLS63]

The quarter final games have started already. And Leipzig vs Atalanta is the only game which have finished so far. In this game, Atalanta had a bigger performance than Leipzig actually and they got ahead first too. But earlier in the second half, Leipzig managed to answer. Atalanta still fought hard for the win but it finished by a 1-1 draw. But this must be a sign for the rematch I think. A very difficult game is waiting for Leipzig in Italy for sure. And I already started to think that Atalanta would get past them.

[bekti3]

both teams (leipzig and atalanta) really played well, it was an entertaining match, indeed I lost a bet because I chose leipzig but it was comparable to their game which was good to watch

my other bets are Barca, Lyon and Rangers, hope all three win

their game was quite balanced in this match even though Leipzig controlled the match with their possession of the ball but the opportunities produced by both teams were quite a lot and it was quite exciting to watch.
The draw in the first leg still provides an opportunity for both teams for the second leg later.
quite entertained with their match and now I'm watching the Barcelona game which seems to be missing a magic here because they are the underdog it's quite difficult to create chances

[MinoRaiola]

If anyone tells the truth, Frankfurt is closer to 1:0 than Barcelona. The penalty is so right decided, but that was close. Sow's chance right at the start, should have been score. It's exciting and that's how it should be. Frankfurt has 8 shots on goal and Barcelona only 2 in the first half.

Unlike what we expected, the first half between Frankfurt and Barcelona ended in a goalless draw. Barcelona dominated the match, but didn't have many chances. Frankfurt came close to being awarded a penalty, but the referee overturned it after seeing VAR.

I hope Xavi can change his strategy in the second half because I think in the first half they didn't put too much pressure on Frankfurt. Dembele may be a good choice after several strikers did not get many chances in the first half. Nothing was really dangerous in the first half, so there had to be a change of strategy in the second half.

Half time Results
A poor decision by Aaron Cresswell of WestHam has got him red carded in the tie vs Lyon as he got sent off for stopping a goalscoring opportunity. With 10 men, winning just got even harder for WestHam, can they edge it and get a win ?

Barcelona are also struggling to breakdown frankfurt, while Braga leads at half time, what are your game predictions for FT? I see a westham draw with lyon, a barcelona defeat and a braga draw

It will be quite difficult now, the advantage of 1 player is definitely going to be greatly exploited by Lyon now.
Westham will probably make their defense better and maybe during the second half they will focus there and maximize the draw in this first leg.
because indeed if they play openly and appear attacking of course this will be very dangerous for those who play with 10 people

Barcelona are also struggling to breakdown frankfurt

Frankfurt managed to overwhelm Barca in the first half, even frankfurt's "shot on goal" statistics were more than barca, even though the formation of barca and also the front line is quite good.  if in the second half, the strategy of barca does not change then the final result must be a draw.

Lyon's chances of victory are indeed great because against 10 West Ham players, because in the 45th minute Cresswell was given a red card, while Barcelona still had hope even though in the first half Barcelona were unable to withstand attacks from Eintracht Frankfurt players, but I am optimistic that in the second half Xavi will overhaul the game. for now Rangers are one goal down, but Rangers are still completely in control of the ball, I am also very confident, Lyon, Barca and Rangers can win tonight, because I also placed a bet for this 3 team win.

This is what happened Frankfurt scored the first goal  you made a very close prediction man it doesn't take long
Barcelona only dominates the game but didn't manage to make a few shots it means Frankfurt defense is strong
On the other hand Frankfurt made 15 shots and 5 on target one of them ends in a goal if the situation continues then no surprise Frankfurt scored the 2nd goal.

[ShowOff]

Barcelona trailed by 1 goal in the first 5 minutes of the second half, this is a bad sign for this match because I saw Frankfurt playing very well so far. Barcelona struggled to create goal chances because Frankfurt's defense was so strong, but it's possible to hope for a goal back soon.

Frankfurt had high pressing throughout the match which made it difficult for Barcelona, ​​but I hope they will make mistakes so that Barcelona can use them to score goals. I don't think Barcelona will lose, at least a 1-2 result I can still hope for in this match.

The second half had just started Frankfurt scored a goal from Ansgar Knauff in the 48th minute and the score was 1-0 and Frankfurt continued to attack.
Barcelona completely dominated the game but couldn't score and Frankfurt's game was able to match Barcelona's game, and you're right, playing Dembele as soon as possible was the right decision.

Frankfurt's performance was very good in this match they managed to lock up Barcelona for 60 minutes of this match.
interestingly Barcelona seemed to have lost their way in play, there was no tiki taka there they lost possession and the match seemed completely owned by Frankfurt now.
Barcelona's appearance is now quite inversely even 80 degrees different from what they did in La Liga. it's bad enough if they continue like this without being able to develop

Barcelona is now able to reply to a goal through Ferran Torres and it's a beautiful goal from his tiki taka, I think your prediction can be right maybe Barcelona can add another goal to 2-1 there is a possibility that there is still a long time and Barcelona's game is still dominant in comparison Frankfurt.

Of course Frankfurt rely on a counter-attack with good opportunities, I hope Barcelona's defense is also tightened so don't let your guard down if an attack from Frankfurt is too dangerous.

Yes, Barcelona finally scored after a substitution. The inclusion of Dembele and De Jong has made Barcelona play better now which has made the difference so far. I think Barcelona can still score again considering there is still time to do it.

Now one of Frankfurt's players got a red card for a foul on Pedri, so there should be a big chance to win the match now. But the Frankfurt attack was really very dangerous for Barcelona.

Ferran torres's goal was very beautiful to watch, although he scored and they are both on level terms now, I've not been impressed by Barcelona's play, in my opinion, they can actually put up a better performance than this, If the game ends in a draw, it will be a disappointment for them. I expect them to press harder now for a win especially as Frankfurt has picked up a red card. Aubameyang has been quiet in this game. They need to win this game before Frankfurt comes to camp nou.

It's been a draw game likewise for Westham and lyon, quite disappointing for the hammers after loosing the lead to a goal from Tanguy Ndombele the Tottenham Hotspur player on loan to lyon.
