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

[Zilon]

Actually Atalanta is a strong team, even quite a lot of people predict Atalanta can qualify for the semifinals. But if we look at Atalanta's declining
form towards the end of the season, even Atalanta in Serie A is in 8th position with two consecutive defeats. I think it's natural that many people
start to change their minds and predict that Leipzig will beat Atalanta in the second leg, even though in the first leg the match ended in a draw.
Because Leipzig in the last few games have improved in performance, not only Dortmund were beaten by Leipzig. However, even Hoffenheim who
were in the top 6 were defeated by Leipzig with a big score. So I also chose Leipzig as the favorite to beat Atalanta in the second leg and qualify
for the semifinals.

There is no doubt that Atalanta is a strong team. Their players are talented enough. And at the start of the season, we also saw some great performances from the Atalanta team. But the team is not in the form now. This is the important thing. Leipzig is not a weak team. It is very difficult to win against Leipzig with an unstable performance. But it is not impossible. Atalanta's recent performance is perhaps unstable. But if the players play well in their own position, Atalanta's victory is possible. Leipzig seems to be my favorite. However, I will refrain from betting on this match.

When it comes to quarter final games even  the weakest team that struggled their way to the round of 8 tries to show case their strength. This game none of the clubs should be underrated. Both team are strong on average despite the inconsistency I think both teams will have equal opportunity as the share equal aggregate

Between Atalanta and Leipzig I don't see weakness both team looking on position standing at each domestic league, I think have favorite for Atalanta because play home on second leg and first leg result as draw. But Atalanta have bad result last week on domestic league after defeating by Sassuolo and I think will effect on UEFA Europe League match against with Leipzig, exactly Leipzig have impressive performance on domestic league last match success winning with bigger score 3-0 from Hoffenheim and will give opportunity for second leg against Atalanta.

For the semifinals, I believe in these 4 teams.
1. West Ham
2. Atalanta
3. Barcelona
4. Rangers

I like the list that you gave, I'm sure all four of them will qualify for the semifinals.

btw, Atalanta I believe will win in this second leg, from the news circulating that Freuler and Djimsiti have recovered from injury, besides this is Atalanta's home match, they must win so as not to disappoint their fans.

[ampere]

Leipzig is definitely the favorite in this match. 

When it comes to knockout games, i always believe that the word 'favorite' does not exist; it is simply a tool to downgrade or belittle a certain team. Be it Atalanta, Leizpig, Lyon, WestHam, Barcelona or frankfurt; either of them can win the tie if they take their chances and score more than their opponents. Now that away goal rule does not exist, the tie is literally open and does not care if you are favorite or not

We call a team a favorite considering the form of the squad's players, considering the team's recent performance. However, anything can happen in knock out matches. It is very risky to bet in these matches. Still we find a team of choice and bet. And so in this match I chose the Leipzig team. Leipzig will be ahead in this match considering all the statistics.

Yes i agree, in a football game anything can happen. Last night, chelsea were 3 goals up and favorites to qualify for the semi finals after scoring 4 goals; but then football happened, 1 goofed seconds and Madrid were back into the game. Each team must not only up their game; they must also take their chances to qualify to the semi finals

You are right. No underestimation should be made. Both teams are strong enough and have qualified for the quarter-finals. No matter which team is the favorite, if they can't play well, they can't win. In order to win, they must prove their ability on the field. Villarreal has qualified for the semi-finals by beating a team as strong as Bayern Munich in the Champions League. So today both teams have to play very carefully if they want to qualify for the next round.

It's true that the results of football matches that occur cannot be predicted only on paper, many unexpected things can potentially happen. but in the atalanta vs leipzig match, I predict atalanta will be the one who will qualify for the next round because based on what happened in the 1st leg, atalanta's performance is much better than leipzig.

[Razmirraz]

For the semifinals, I believe in these 4 teams.
1. West Ham
2. Atalanta
3. Barcelona
4. Rangers

Barcelona and Atalanta are favorites to be in the semifinals, although these two teams drew in the first leg, in the second leg Barcelona and Atalanta were both hosts.
While West Ham are still doubtful of qualifying for the semifinals, Lyon put up a fight that made West Ham difficult in the first leg. In the second leg later, Lyon will be the host.
Rangers, who lost to SC Braga in the first leg, had to fight all out in the second leg to chase a goal deficit in the first leg. Braga can surprise Rangers, as Villarreal did with Bayern Munich.

If you look at the previous match, the first leg of the quarter-final between Atalanta against Leipzig Atalanta dominated from start to finish, but the Leipzig team were very lucky in that match because they could make the score 1-1 with own goal from an Atalanta player, if only Davide Zappacosta didn't make a mistake then the Leipzig team would definitely lose that match, so in the second leg meeting I will also support Atalanta to come out victorious and qualify for the next round.

Leipzig and Atalanta are two good teams in the Europa League this season, but I don't think Atalanta can be expected too much considering they are not consistent in the league at the moment. Atalanta have only won 1 of their last 5 matches in the league moreover they have also lost in their last 2 matches.

It may be true that Atalanta will do something different in the Europa League despite their inconsistency in the league, but Leipzig can certainly beat them especially because of their good form in the league at the moment. Leipzig are in good form, so Atalanta need to be careful in tomorrow's second leg.

Barcelona and Atalanta are favorites to be in the semifinals, although these two teams drew in the first leg, in the second leg Barcelona and Atalanta were both hosts.

I agree, but Barcelona and Atalanta really have to play well in the second leg to win that match. Both teams still have a chance because the first leg ended in a draw, so it takes good and bad vigilance to underestimate the opponent.

Rangers, who lost to SC Braga in the first leg, had to fight all out in the second leg to chase a goal deficit in the first leg. Braga can surprise Rangers, as Villarreal did with Bayern Munich.

I am also quite sure about Barcelona and Atlanta qualifying for the next stage but I am not sure about West Ham. I do think that West Ham should qualify because they generally face tougher opponents in their league and I think they should be able to win against Lyon. Braga vs Rangers can be a tricky one in my opinion.
My prediction is Barcelona, Atlanta, and West Ham will be the winners.

It is difficult to predict in a match, because anything can happen, even the team that is superior can be eliminated from the competition, as happened to Bayern in the second leg of the champions league last night, surprisingly they were eliminated by Villareal, but if I look at the performance of lepzing In the domestic league, I have high hopes for lepzing to beat Atlanta, even though Atlanta is playing at home, but I'm still optimistic that lepzing will make a surprise, and managed to beat Atlanta.

lepzing have had a good run in the domestic league in their last few matches. At the moment Agg is still the same 1-1 I think anything is possible and the quality of the two teams is also the same, not much different, and playing at Atalanta I don't think it will be an advantage. The chances of qualifying for both teams are still 50-50.
and I personally favor lepzing to be able to win with all considerations, and I bet for his victory in this match.

Because Leipzig in the last few games have improved in performance, not only Dortmund were beaten by Leipzig. However, even Hoffenheim who
were in the top 6 were defeated by Leipzig with a big score. So I also chose Leipzig as the favorite to beat Atalanta in the second leg and qualify
for the semifinals.

Leipzig is a really good team and also has the capability of beating Atalanta. But in this match, I think Atlanta might be able to win. I know that Atalanta has not played really well and has been a little inconsistent in recent times but I don't think the form is too much of an issue in these types of matches. But I really don't expect this to be easy for Atalanta. The aggregate score is level so there will be no advantage or disadvantage from that. I am hoping to see a win for Atlanta.

Now maybe it will be a little different in my opinion because indeed if we look at Leipzig's performance now of course this will be something interesting to see. on the other hand, I think Leipzig are still the seed now because they are much better in terms of performance in their domestic league.
Atalanta are not very consistent right now because indeed they still haven't been able to make a good enough performance for them in Serie A at the moment

The bookmakers agree with you, odds for the game are (Atalanta vs Leipzig) 2.65/3.6/2.5. So the game (and also the qualification for the next round) is pretty much open for both teams. I like both teams and it is difficult for me to pick a winner.

Barcelona vs Frankfurt on the other hand seems prety muhc decided before it started: 1.4/5.0/8.0. Anything that is not a clear win for Barcelona would come as a surprise tomorrow at the game.

[ShowOff]

Barcelona vs Frankfurt on the other hand seems prety muhc decided before it started: 1.4/5.0/8.0. Anything that is not a clear win for Barcelona would come as a surprise tomorrow at the game.

As we know so far, Barcelona is unbeaten in their last 15 matches including in the Europa League competition. That good record of course will not always be maintained but since Barcelona are one of the best teams in the Europa League at the moment, then a win would be the most likely thing. The bookie offers low odds for Barcelona because they are the favourites, so I won't doubt Barcelona tomorrow.

If Frankfurt manage to force Barcelona into extra time, then I think it's a bit surprising considering Frankfurt are not at their best at the moment. Barcelona have to win that match and make it easier than the first leg.

Atalanta are not very consistent right now because indeed they still haven't been able to make a good enough performance for them in Serie A at the moment

After all, their stats in the first leg are at least almost even and an own goal would not have happened had the Leipzig players not taken any shots and efforts. So an own goal in a match doesn't mean luck and also, Leipzig and Atalanta's recent performances in the local league, I think it's also clear that Lepizig are better. With this capital, it is clear that Lepizig is in a better situation so this match will still be interesting because there is no guarantee that Atalanta will win even though they are playing at home.

both teams are in good form and if you look at the first leg match Atalanta have a greater chance of winning this match especially Atalanta will play at home, with Agg still 1-1 I think it will be very profitable for Atalanta who will play sometimes, and I think they will be able to win.

[asus09]

I will try to give a prediction for the second leg of the European league, I will place a bet and even if I lose I will surrender, but I will follow my heart,
Atlanta vs lepzing, I'll place a bet for lepzing win,
Lyon vs west ham i will place a bet for Westham win,
Barcelona vs Frankfurt I will also place a bet for Barca win,
Rangers vs Braga I will place a bet for Rangers' victory, even though Rangers lost 0-1 in the first leg but I believe Rangers can win and can qualify for the semifinals.

For Barcelona, almost sure. For Rangers, I think it is possible although I am not that sure, 50/50. For West Ham, yeah possible too although Lyon aren't that bad, actually both teams aren't in their best shape, so everything is possible.
Atalanta - Leipzig might end like Champions League games, unpredictable and hard! I think Leipzig will try to stay after Bayern failure..
