It will be a dream story if West Ham can climb from the Europa Conference League to the Europa league by winning it, and then qualify for the UCL winning the Europa league. They are looking very confident in their matches and stand a good chance to win it.

...They are really bad in this tournament especially Brighton that just cannot find a way to win. They are losing 2-0 on halftime and i dont see them coming back from this honestly. They are completely different in premier league and in Europe.

They fought for a draw and to be fair to them, they have been inconsistent in the league for the past couple of weeks.

My few bets for tonight - over 2.5 goals in AEK - Ajax, Roma - Servette, Slavia - Sheriff and Villarreal - Rennes. Also going with Olympiacos ML @1.57 (big stake here) against Backa Topola and Betis vs Sparta @1.75. And BTTS in Sporting - Atalanta.

In the match AS Roma vs Servette Genf I think also there are many goals. Lukaku and Belotti playing as goal scorers in the starting lineup and dybala is waiting for his chance, so there will definitely be a powerplay here. Jose Mourinho must have new successes and he will have prepared his team well for this game. He still has a few small problems in Serie A.

Honestly, Bayern Leverkusen is currently a club that can play at the Champions League level. It actually feels like Europa League is not for them right now. They are at the top of the Bundesliga table right now. Even Bayern Munich was unable to win against them. And we all know how Bayern Munich performs in the Bundesliga. I am going to make a prediction which I think is going to be true by the way. Bayern Leverkusen is going to win the Europa League title. At least if they continue performing like this, I don't think any other team will actually be able to stop them. I know that this is still early stages of Europa League. But they are definitely capable of winning this trophy.

Since they have a new coach in Xabi Alonso, Bayern Leverkusen's performances have changed from last season. However, to be completely honest, it will be difficult to predict the outcome of the Europa League at this point. There are other clubs that are just as strong as Bayern Leverkusen, such as Liverpool and West Ham, and even though Roma aren't that strong in Seria A, their performances in the Europa League have impressed me. Because unexpected events frequently occur in football, it is possible that the Leverkusen you are hoping for to win the Europa League may lose to a weaker team. Liverpool may compete to win the Europa League, in my opinion, since they are not eligible for the Champions League.

I dont know what is with this england teams in europe league and conference. They are really bad in this tournament especially Brighton that just cannot find a way to win. They are losing 2-0 on halftime and i dont see them coming back from this honestly. They are completely different in premier league and in europe.

Although Brighton's performance came short of expectations, not all English clubs are bad when it comes to Europa league, as they managed to their games. West Ham defeated Freiburg, and Liverpool came up winning 2:0 against St. Gilloise as a result, I believe some English club may win the title this season.

Damn, not very good day in betting for me. Olympiacos draw is biggest disappointment. C'mon, they were leading against Backa Topola 0:2 and they wasted it. Surprised to see 6:0 result in Slavia - Sheriff game. Yeah, Slavia were favorites, but Sheriff isn't that bad team and have good results in Europe in recentseasons.

I dont know what is with this england teams in europe league and conference. They are really bad in this tournament especially Brighton that just cannot find a way to win. They are losing 2-0 on halftime and i dont see them coming back from this honestly. They are completely different in premier league and in europe.

Don't know, I think their performance is OK today. Both played with difficult opponents away and in outcome, West Ham won and Brighton got draw after being down 2:0. But in general, I agree with you, English clubs aren't doing that well in Europa and Conference league. If they're not playing in Champions league, they give priority to EPL.

West Ham has shown so much determination in UEFA Europa League competition this season and should be counted as one of the favourites of the competition this season. Going to Germany and getting all three points today against Freiburg was indeed a very big achievement for the Hammers as they're now top of the Group A in the UEFA Europa League competition.
David Moyes seem to have the magical football tactics that's bringing out the best from his players and it's just a joy to watch as a neutral

Jose Mourinho must have new successes and he will have prepared his team well for this game. He still has a few small problems in Serie A.

The match has been ended, Roma won with 4 goals. Your prediction is correct that there are many goals made by Roma attackers. Mourinho set a good line up today although it is quite surprising to see Dybala and Rui Patricio on the bench. They only have an easy match in the next match of Serie A, they will play against Cagliari. So, Roma actually can focus to give their best in the match against Servette. However, it may be about the tactic, Mourinho may rotate some players to make the tactic more effectively. Well, I'm quite happy that Roma could win again with big scores today.

[buwaytress]

Whelp, my Roma hopes went up in flames. Sheriff also seem to have fallen far from the heady days of beating Real Madrid but the real award goes to West Ham -- as I said before a staple on my tickets for Europa and now 17 games unbeaten in Europe -- breaking the English record held jointly by Spurs, Citeh, Leeds.

Liverpool look all right, struggling really at times but never truly in danger even with some silly errors from McAllister and uncharacteristic nerves from Alisson, but it's typical with a half-half team meant to conserve energy for Prem action.

All-England favourites if the draw favours that?

[buwaytress]

Oi then, anyone backing some big team to fall tonight? There are plenty to pick from, including my own Liverpool -- but I fear the most tonight are draws, particularly I feel because the favs are UEFA royalty, but you wonder if it's worth going against these fellas:

Lisbon away 7/1
Leverkusen home 14/1

Ajax to win vs Brighton is my "hello!" pick =D

I can't say that Ajax can beat Brighton away. Ajax don't show good results in the League, although Brighton are in last place, objectively they play better. I have no doubts about Lisbon and Leverkusen. In general, there are a lot of interesting games today.

[LTU_btc]

There is not many upsets today, almost all favorites won, and some won big. Maybe that Atalanta and Sporting didn't won is a bit unexpected, but after all, they played away against quite decent teams. Royale Union saved my parlay by scoring goal on 94th minute. In general, it was quite profitable day.

Ajax to win vs Brighton is my "hello!" pick =D

I saw more than enough Ajax games this season to be sure not to back them. They sacked manager finally, but nothing has changed with Hedwiges Maduro as caretaker and I don't think that this Ajax squad is capable for something. You understand that something is just wrong with Ajax when bookies gives 1.29 for Brighton win.

Liverpool tonight delivered a great performance in front of their home fans to thrashed French club Toulouse in the UEFA Champions League competition. The Reds played on their full strength to brush Toulouse aside.
Goals from Diego Joto, Darwin Nunez, Endo and Mohammed Salah was what Liverpool needed to maintain their perfect start to the Europa League competition since the start of the season.

Liverpool show every time they play that they are not in the mood for jokes this season in all the competitions that they are playing in. They performed excellently, West ham lost, Brighton won their game too, but Liverpool have shown more believe. Roma and Liverpool are two teams that I can say are good picks to win this competition this time, but I will not underrate the other teams that will join them later. Sevilla is still another team, they can win it again if they join.

class difference is too big to fail in this case
Liverpool seems to take Europa league seriously, and they are top favorite for winning

paying tribute to former Everton board chairman, Bill Kenwright, that passed away this week, was prime fair play from neighbours

Leverkusen is also playing great this season, and will probably be main competitor for this season trophy

[fzkto]

Sporting Lisbon were unlucky in yesterday's game due to a red card, although they managed to lead almost the whole game, but the match ended in a draw. Ajax didn't beat Brighton either and couldn't even score a goal. Many matches turned out to be unpredictable. Freiburg had an interesting game when they lost the first half but scored three goals in the second half and won the game.

[Slow death]

I'm very disappointed with Sporting, on paper they were the favorites, they have a good squad in my opinion and their opponent wasn't a very strong team, and seeing the difference between these two teams I decided to put Sporting in my multibet bet, but unfortunately for me it was a disastrous game with Sporting being reduced after 8 minutes of the game, it was as if it had already been decided that Sporting would not win this game, with 10 players playing it would be very difficult, but when Sporting scored a goal I was hopeful and that's why I didn't cancel my bet, especially when it was very close to the end of the game, I convinced myself that there was no need to cancel the bet because all Sporting needed to do was strengthen the defense, that's all. but to my chagrin in the 79th minute Sporting conceded a goal and the game was tied, it was very obvious that that result would not change and with that my bet was lost

another game he bet on was the liverpool game, on paper liverpool was already seen as the favourite, and it was a good strategy for the liverpool coach to have spared players, even so liverpool managed to score 5 goals, liverpool won the game without having no difficulties and with this victory they remain in the group with some comfort in the next games, I believe that Liverpool will move on to another stage.

Another game that I also bet on was the Leverkusen game, who on paper were also seen as favorites to win the game and on the field they crushed their opponent, with 5 goals that they managed to score and only conceded 1 goal. This season Leverkusen is doing very well, they are at the top of the table in the Bundesliga, which is a huge achievement, congratulations to the Leverkusen coach. With Sporting's draw my bet was lost. Anyway, I didn't have any luck in those Euro League games, but I profited in the European Champions League games.

Liverpool humiliates Toulouse 5-1 at Anfield. What did we expects in the first place? The Reds was fully prepared to face their visitors and didn't take chances, making good use of every scoring opportunities created, Jurgen Klopp and his men showed no mercy towards his opponents. On the other hand, I blame Toulouse for poor defensive strategy, they have no clue towards the team they were playing, an elite English Club that's competent enough to still win them with one down, just funny to watch Liverpool moving to crucial phases in Europa without any stress.

That right liverpool journey this time did not encounter any significant difficulties in the three matches they have played, and are now at the top of group E with perfect points (9 points). I think liverpool deserves to be the favorite if you look at their fairly stable history of performance, both in the Epl and in the European Leagues. The 5-1 victory over toulouse confirmed that the Reds are indeed one level above them. I think it is very realistic for Klopp to focus more on this competition, considering that the competition they have is easier than in the Epl.

I think this perfect winning record is likely to continue until the group stage matches are over, and I don't expect The Reds to meet laverkusen in the early rounds. I hope the two of them meet in the semi-finals, this is quite interesting in my opinion.

I'm really happy to see an EPL club beating a French side, it's all clear that there's absolutely zero competition in Ligue One. Liverpool thrashed Toulouse 5-1 and it was an easy triumphed victory earned by Jurgen Klopp men. May I remind you that the Reds are not happy, competing in Europa League is definitely not a priority for then because they know were they belong, which I'd UEFA Champions League competition. It's really embarrassing watching them playing among mediocre teams will only make them served supremacy against their oppositions.

Believe me, everyone at the club is angry. Now I just hope we repeat the feat and win tonight, secure qualification, give the rest of the young 'uns a run in Europe, and prepare to meet possibly some of the UCL dropouts.

Getting drawn with United (provided they don't lose to Gala + Bayern) would be pretty sweet. Everyone won't mind meeting this version of the Red Devils.

[casperBGD]

Ajax took two wins in a row in Netherlands, heading out from relegation zone, and now they have to play against Brighton
not to lose odds are bit above @2, and looks tempting since Brighton is far from great form as well

Leverkusen, Liverpool and Roma are only teams having all wins so far, will they all continue their strikes, all having pretty tough away matches
will be interesting to see what happens
