They tried their best.
Wolves was the favorites for this game and they proved themselves as it was the normal.
I think that this series has ended and Wolves will proceed to the next stage.

0:1 at halftime

Good good good

nice pick so far mate - i was confident Gent would get an easy home win due to more quality, as simple as that... lets see what happens in the 2. half

Njaaaaaah
As usual
Nothing for me...

Still,  it's very good result for Rijeka,  undeserved,  with a lot luck but they have very good chance now to beat Gent in Rijeka and finally pass to the group stage.
Gent is better team,  of course,  and still have more chance to win but in 1 game everything is possible.
Let's say 60% for Gent and 40 % for Rijeka.

the next match Rijeka is playing at home, let's say that 1:0 is enough to pass to the group stage... this is how they are thinking to enter in that match
so if 1:0 is mathematically enough, they will not play to run for a 3:0 ex.
I'm not so optimistic that Rijeka can get to the group stage from this point, but will be very happy if they achieve that goal of course

No... I bet on them and they were NOT the favourites, not even by a slim margin. All the bookies I checked had them above 3/1, and odds climbed as the match approached.

Torino aren't a shitty team though and they will have every incentive to win... but Moulineux is a tough place. Wolves HAVE to be the favourites to win at home, but if I were a Torino fan, great value for money to bet on my team next week!

From the bookies perspective, they weren't favorites by a long shot but most soccer fans believed that they would be able to get the job done though they were playing away from home, Those guys play fiercely and superbly irrespective of their opponents and their location.

One more step from Wolves to the Europa League group phase.
Wolves are very lucky to be able to win at Torino home, and the second leg in 1 week will be done at Wolves home. Wolves in this case must be very profitable and must be able to secure this ticket. To be sure, do not believe too high will pass. Because the ball is round and anything can happen.

I think wolves would very much deserve a place in the Europa league they had a great and awesome season last season where something like a giant slayer.
I would tip them to qualify and even go a long way in the tournament itself

I believe they are not lucky they deserve this because last season they done great job and they have talent to do these things in last match against Torino they completely outclass them at their home with this win they are surely now going in group stage and hopefully they will be able to in last few stages as they are still too good for many in Europa League.

I think that Wolves is a better team compared to Torino but not by a big margin so in the return leg anything can happen but I doubt Wolves will let this chance slip away from them.The best bet is Wolves to qualify because I am sure they will fight hard to be in Europa League group stages.

I agree with Wolves and Torino being an almost equivalent clubs and TBH, both team still have a fairly equal chance to qualify but obviously, Wolves are in the better position they just to avoid losing the game or lose by a lone goal, that's the relevance of scoring 3 goals away from home. It should be another interesting game to see.

Indeed they are kind of "equal".
But the Wolves are going to play the second match in their home which is actually a huge boost for any team.
They will play defensively and try not to concede any goal in the game and they will qualify to the next stage with ease.

I also expected a Torino home win since I rate them the better team actually - now they won’t stand a chance to advance...

[joniboini]

Are you guys always conclude who advances to the next stage after the first leg? Did any of you think Barca will go through after PSG slaughter them or when Liverpool lost to Barca 3-0 last season?

I'm quite surprised to see that only by one goal margin you can 'decide' the future of a team. Don't forget that Liverpool won 3-1 at Bayern, or that Palace beat MU yesterday.

Dude - we are just "thinking" and also, those miracles dont happen every day, lol...

I don't know which soccer fans you're following but there was probably very few people in Turin who believed they would lose. And many more from Wolves who would be wary of an Italian club with a not small history in Europe... you're right of course and I believed in them as well, their ferocity is their English heritage, but their inconsistency is probably the mark of only how long they've been together.

I'm backing them in domestic competition today too. Tiring to play so much but this is still early season and their win in Europe will be a huge boost.

[swogerino]

Europa League is back today with the final preliminary round and I think that the most interesting game tonight is Wolves vs Torino,not only because the first game ended 2-3 but also because one team is from Premier League and the other from Serie A two of the strongest Championships in Europe.

[Pab]

I am going for Wolves.They are playing great offensive football so Wolves to qualify
Rangers-Legia it can be interesting game.First leg was 0-0. Rangers looks favorite but Legia has pretty good defense .So if Legia will be able to score then we can have such a surprise

I think we might see a draw result between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Torino at the final whistle, Wolverhampton Wanderers are leading 3-2 after the 1st leg game and they have 3 away goals advantage at the moment, so I guess the manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers might not want to risk losing a good chance for his team to play in the UEFA Europa League this season, and maybe Wolverhampton Wanderers might just go into defensive mode and force a draw in this match.

I will go for Rangers qualifying especially since they are playing at home, the last they lost at home in all competition was when they faced Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup Quarter Final on the 12 of March 2019. I am also tipping Wolves on qualifying as well.
