⚽UEFA Europa Conference League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Winner: Roma!

[coderben]

Fenerbahce didn't surprise me by losing to Slavia Prague home by 2-3. Because they were already having a problematic season in their domestic league also. And they weren't better in European tournaments either. Taking all of these into account, a loss or maybe a draw was seeming like inevitable. In the first half, Fenerbahce weren't like even in the field. They were better in the second half but still couldn't get in front of their weakness in defense. And this cost them highly. I think that they are going to be eliminated most probably.

[Joca97]

Fenerbahce conceded 3 goals from Prague in the conference league and made it difficult for the tour. The match started very sluggishly after the first half, the goals came one after the other. Last minute goal was not enough for Fenerbahce. Fener, who had troubled days in it own league, should be tied to this match as a team to get what it wants away.

Fenerbahce lost 2-3 but its not that bad of a result i think they still have a big chance in this duel to go into the next round the only problem is that they are playing in an away match. Last minute goal gaved them chances in the rematch to try and attack and win the match.

But they also still have homework now especially for the back line and their communication.
Two goals in 1 minute is not something good for their defense other than that they are now playing at home.
Next week they will travel to continue the fight in the 2nd leg later and this could be them slipping again when they still haven't finished their homework now because their defense is really messed up especially after scoring 1 goal back before

The game that we saw the most goals so far in has been Fenerbahce - Slavia Prague. Fenerbahce lost the game by 3-2 and this is really bad for them. Because it was their home game and now their job is going to be much harder than ever. Slavia Prague are a decent team and they didn't forgive the mistakes of their opponent. Now I wonder what Fenerbahce will do in the rematch. Will they be in search of a new formula to catch their opponent by surprise or will they play like this again?

[Joca97]

So proud of my team with the result in tonights confrence league. Partizan won 0-1 in an away game against Sparta Prague and this is a huge step for us to go into the next round. Cant wait that we play infront of our fans and a full heated stadium. Too bad we didnt score that second goal in the end of the match.

Didn't watched any of Conference league games today - it would be difficult to pick to watch it when there is some big games in Europa league.
Seems that Fenerbahche - Slavia game was fun. It's big step for Slavia to win this game. After all, it's my most beloved underdog team in Europe . I just have no idea how I missed to make over 2.5 bet on this game.
I think I said that upset is possible in Celtic - Bodo/Glimt game and it happened, despite that it was first official game for Bodo after winter break.
In other games everything ended without big surprises.
@Joca97, congrats, winning away game in Europe is always big deal, even without away goal rule.

Considering how poorly they are playing recently especially in the turkish league it was not a surprise they lost today slavia prague team was more dangerous and they deserved the win the rematch will be really tough they can get a win away but i highly doubt that.

I think this is over. After this score, it is very difficult and very unlikely for Fenerbahçe to pass the tour. It would be delusional to expect the team that conceded three goals at home to win the away game. There is no morale left in the team. It's very clear that they didn't set this tournament as a goal. There is an indifference among the players. They don't care about anything anymore. I don't know how they solve this.

The result shows that it was a very balanced game, and when it is, the games are resolved because of small details, such as taking advantage of the opponent's mistake.

Now, I think they're still in the heat for the playoffs. Just score a goal, without conceding, for them to take the game to extra time. Or if they manage to score two goals without conceding, they win. I don't see this being too complicated for Fenerbahce. We will certainly have another well-played game in the second leg.

agree, it is a good win for us, and should be enough to confirm it at home, and progress to next round
I would even call a final stage is possible this season, since there is no clear favorites in the competition, and we a solid draw we could easily reach far

did not expect from Celtic a lose at home, seems that Bodo is solid team, having beat Roma at home, and now can progress to next round

Barcelona 1-1 Napoli
The result was quite difficult for Barcelona. The 2nd leg will go to Napoli. Barcelona actually performed well they performed in their style. Dominating possession of the ball. It's a shame they had to concede first. Even if I look at the stats they had a lot of kicking attempts on goal. Unfortunately they couldn't maximize the chances of winning at home.

Well I consider all these games as hazardous so I am not very surprised with the results. Celtic isn't a consistent team just like Fenerbahce so it wasn't really a surprise to see them dropping points.
So far Leicester, Bodo/Glimt and Marseille are in a good position comparing to their rivals and they can pass easily to the next stage

We receive one of the weakest teams in the playoffs honestly could have received some serious opponents. I hope that we can win at home and then wait for next round,we can go far but it will be really difficult we need to play much better then in last game

FC Porto won again at home against Italian teams, it is already quite usual, and got a victory that gives them an advantage for next week's game in Italy, which will decide the passage to the round of 16 of the Europa League.

I'm starting to lose, but they managed to equalize in the first half, and then in the second they managed to turn around, ending the game 2-1. I believe that FC Porto is in a good position to move forward in the competition.

[Zanab247]

FC Porto used home advantage to  play with Italian team to inform other  team that they are fully prepared for this tournament to win the title with different strategies. Now that FC Porto coach has discovered some weaking point among the players and not to benched some players for first half than to use some players that are good for second half to play for their next match.
With the professional strategies FC Porto team used to defeated Italian 2:1 that made their fans to believe that FC Porto has what it takes to win this tournament title.

It's a shame they had to concede first. Even if I look at the stats they had a lot of kicking attempts on goal. Unfortunately they couldn't maximize the chances of winning at home.

This is a difficult result for Barcelona, but still manageable because they have quality and skill for changing things in their own way against any team.

As of now, Napoli is good side, but their performance is unpredictable, and they are facing some tough challenge for this year's title race even they were in full command from start till middle of this season but suddenly with few injuries and poor performance now they are third, and they need more intention in local league instead of this but with result of first league match both teams are in good chance for qualifying for next round even mostly feeling Napoli is favourite with first league advantage, but they need some very good performance at home and Barcelona is not easy side.

[DU18]

The abolition of the home and away goal rules is slightly advantageous for Barcelona because the draw against Napoli which took place at Camp Nou, at least Napoli must be able to win from Barcelona in the 2nd leg if they want to qualify for the next round. With the abolition of the home and away goals rule if both teams draw 0-0 in the 2nd leg, the match will continue in extra time and a penalty shoot-out if the score is still equal for both teams. However, the match in the 2nd leg was very tense and Napoli, who played as home, was far more superior than Barcelona.

[hahay]

It looks like some of us posted posts that don't fit the thread, this is the thread of the UEFA Europa Conference League, but they are discussing about the matches that are in the UEFA Europa League.

But apart from that, I am very interested in the match between Celtic v Bodo/Glimt because both are indeed a good team in their respective leagues. But unfortunately, Celtic's dominance in Scotland in the Premiership was broken by Rangers, even though Celtic were the title holders there for 9 consecutive seasons and unfortunately, that misfortune is likely to continue for Celtic in this tournament in the Europa Conference League. Because even though yesterday Celtic played at home, Celtic got a big enough defeat by Bodo/Glimt with a score of 3-1. This defeat will certainly be a difficult job to turn things around in the second leg later, with the team's situation being as good it is very likely that Bodo/Glimt will be able to maintain this advantage.

This is the thread for the Uefa Europa Conference league, not the Europa League.

Anyway, I would say that in this competition the biggest chances right now to win it in the end might probably be for PSV Eindhoven and Leicester City. If Leicester City was stronger in the Premier League I would say they are the favorite, but since they aren't in the best shape possible I guess PSV is equally strong.

Dortmund winning massively during the weekend was awesome to watch.
I know they'll be back to play and demolish their opponents.
They kept clean sheets and Tues was on point in the game, giving three assist.
