⚽UEFA Conference League Discussion Thread -- 2023/24 | Winner: Olympiacos

[bitgolden]

Partizan plays first Conference league qualifier this season, against Sabah from Azerbeijan, should be passable, but not sure with our current form
it is early termin, odds for Partizan win are solid, but would not take it today

few interesting fixtures today
Rosenborg is host to Hearts, Hajduk host PAOK in Split, Fenerbahce odds against Maribor are at @1.14, seems value to take handicap on away team

I never liked it, I mean betting on 1.14 type of odds, even on parlay it doesn't make sense because it causes you to end up gambling for a team that would most likely win, and even if they do win, they do not bring you a lot of money and when they do lose, they end up making you lose a lot of money as well.

I think it's quite important to realize that we are going to end up with a situation that will be a bit different and we can't really have it that way at all. We need to make sure that things are harder to handle that way and we should not be really considering it as an option. Hopefully, when the time comes we are going to end up with a better result, and that should be the most important thing about betting, and I rather bet on better returns.

Beşiktaş won 3-1 in Baku. I wasn't expecting such a comfortable victory. Salih Uçan had a very good performance and got 1 scored and 1 assist. Vincent Aboubakar had an amazing performance as always. As I expected, Fenerbahce got a comfortable win against its weak opponent. Adana Demirspor surprised me a lot. Adana Demirspor defeated Osijek 5-1. I would like for Adana Demirspor to go to the UEFA Conference League Group Stage. Because they deserve it.

I dont understand that the bookies they gaved such a big odd on Besiktas. I dont know why they give such a large odd. They are really apsolute favorites against Neftchi and its o most obvious that Besiktas will be in the next round. Didnt expect that Adana would beat Osijek that badly.

[MK-74]

Our representatives played very well and won easily.

Adana Demirspor surprised me a lot, I didn't expect that they would play so well and win differently.

Fenerbahçe couldn't do anything in the first half but played better in the second half and won the game.

[Slow death]

most of the favorite teams won without any difficulty. Bodo won in their game against pyunik, in a game in which bodo managed to score 3 goals and didn't concede a single goal, I highly doubt that pyunik will be able to win in the next game, so it's safe to say that bodo has already secured passage to the next stage , besikitas also won in their game against baku, but despite besikitas having managed to score 3 goals they conceded a goal, that means that in the second leg besekitas will need to make a lot of effort because the opponent still has chances of winning the game in second leg and move on to another phase. AZ also won in their game against santa coloma, but it was a tight victory, which means that sata coloma still has chances to reverse this scenario

Fenerbahce won the game against Maribor, but I must say that I expected that Fenerbahce would get a victory that would guarantee them comfort in the second leg, with this result Fenerbahce is forced to work hard in the second leg. the club brugger had a very comfortable victory, I see that with this victory they already guaranteed passage to the next stage, I doubt that they would concede 4 goals and not score anything in the second leg, another team that also won in a way that guaranteed it passage for another phase it was adana, they scored 5 goals, although they conceded only 1 goal, I doubt very much that their opponent will be able to reverse this scenario in the second leg game

Seems that my doubts about Legia turned into reality. Despite being favoured by bookmakers, they lost to Austria Wien at home 1:2. There is few teams that already have guaranteed spot in next round after huge wins in first game. It's Ferencvaros, Adana Demirspor and Brugge. AZ Alkmaar scored just 1 goal against Santa Coloma, but probably it can be justified as season just begins for them. Partizan situation is complicated now after loss away 0:2 against Sabah.

Polska football still a enigmatic one for me. They make plenty of good players for the antional team and for other top leagues like we all know, but in local teams and the league itself they allways lack something, also its strange because Poland in economic terms its year by year improving, i dont know when we are gonna see a jump in quality in their team.

About the game, i dont know why Legia was favorite, i think only because they were in home, i see the resume and see LEgia was dominaiting but with no luck.

Turkish teams are literally dominating the Conference League these days. Especially Adana Demirspor's performance has been mesmerizing. This must be their first European tournament experience but they are playing like they are quite experienced in this environment. They scored quite impressive goals against Osijek in addition to winning by 5-1.

Especially Yusuf Erdogan's goal by a shot to the upper right corner was amazing to watch. However the Conference League is going to get much tougher for all Turkish teams by next round.

Adana Demirspor are taking on the loser of Olympiacos-Genk; Fenerbahce are taking on the winner of Twente-Riga and Besiktas are taking on the winner of Aris-Dinamo Kiev. All the probable opponents are quite decent teams in the end.

Indeed, I noticed the same with the Turkish teams. Besiktas and Fenerbahce ended their games with 3 - 1 goals each, getting closer to passing this round. Otherwise Adana Demirspor scored 5 goals and received only one making them secure.
There is teams like Gent, Bodo, Plzen, Farul, Ferencvaros, Brugge, that have at least 3 goals difference so pretty much safe.
The results of Rapid Wien, Midtjylland, Pyunik and Partizan are quite disappointing this time.

[Volgastallion]

Man how you can talk about a Turkish domination on COnference League? Turkish team does so bad in europe last years so now they start to compete very early in the qualification phase of the tournaments, you are playing against ISLAND FEROE, Andorra, San Marino , Malta ,etc. Come on this its not a correct measurement.

The opponents they will face seem difficult, but I think they will beat them too. Because our teams are playing really well in the Conference League. I have full faith in them. We will beat them and go to the groups.

last game today is between Partizan and Sabah, we have to catch 0:2 from first match, not easy, but far from unachievable
looking at form, should be good, but first match showed that Sabah is a solid team, and their defense could be to big to overcome

@1.75 odds for home win have no value, should be more to play on Partizan, match is at 21

Lottery league is back today with another round and if I had to pick some games , I would have picked FCSB to qualify as this team is having a blast in last games , winning all of them. Currently FCSB is the strongest team in Romania with a lot of young talented players who could make the difference in any game for FCSB so that is why I do believe they will qualify tonight. 

[Jossque]

Today is the day for Beşiktaş, Fenerbahçe and Adana Demirspor to advance. Besiktas will be the most comfortable team because with an away win they will have the strength to beat their opponent again, this time at home. I don't think it will be a very challenging match for Beşiktaş.
Likewise, Adana Demirspor will only need a draw or even a narrow defeat to qualify after their 5-1 win, but I don't expect Adana Demirspor to lose. They have a good squad and have the potential to win as they are a team with a high fighting power.
Finally, I can start by saying that Fenerbahce is a bit more risky, but Fenerbahce's squad is better structured than Maribor's, so Fenerbahce will win this match without any difficulty. The drop in performance of some of the players is affecting the team and this needs to be addressed. Especially Altay, the goalkeeper, who conceded a goal on the first shot on goal, which demoralized the team.

Austria Wien - Legia was the craziest one. It ended 3:5 and Legia goes to next round on aggregate score 5:6. On 97th minute Austria scored goal that would take game to extra time, but Legia managed to respond with a goal on 100th minute.
After loss 2:0 in first leg, Partizan made a comeback and won game after penalties. Congrat to Partizan fans, there is at least few of them there. 2 other games which ended with penalties is Dynamo Kyiv - Aris and Derry City - Tobol. Dynamo and Tobol goes to next round.
After a bit unexpected loss in 1st game, Midtjylland simply destroyed Omonia 5:1 today.

[Slow death]

yesterday's games also didn't see many big surprises, AZ managed to score 2 goals and won the game, it was a game in which AZ dominated the whole game having achieved 65% of ball possession. rapid wien also won the game, in the first leg rapid wien tied without goals, but in this second leg the guys managed to score 5 goals and did not concede a single goal, it was an incredible turnaround, I don't know what happened to their opponent that this second leg conceded 5 goals. the hibernian drew in the game of that second leg, but in the first leg they won. another game that had a surprising result was the heart game, in the first leg the heart lost, but in this second leg they improved their performance a lot

and as a result they managed to score 3 goals and suffered only 1 goal, with that the heart reversed the disadvantageous scenario and they started to have an advantage, they move to another phase. club brugge won in their game in a very easy way, they managed to score 5 goals and conceded only 1 goal, without a doubt that they dominated the game and with this result they move to another phase that will be more difficult for all those teams that were there playing the qualifying games, that's because they will play against stronger opponents and as a result many teams will stay and only the big teams will pass to another stage, anyway I will see how many weak teams on paper will be able to beat some strong team and pass to another phase

The odds doesn't count for me, I always specialized in their previous meetings and game statistics before finally giving good recommendations on the game. FK Partizan coach Igor Duljaj is in a fierce rivalry battle with Subad manager Murad Musaev. Sabah is an elite club with comprehensive performance from the players. In the first leg of the UEFA Conference League, Sabah defeated FK Partizan 2 nil. It was shocking to see the Steamroller come out with strong trust and return the favor with a 2 nil triumph, which ended in penalty shootouts. FK Partizan won over the visitors, who were caught off guard.

it was a really tough win for us, penalty shootout, but Partizan made it to next round, amd also marked first win for Serbian clubs in Europe this season
so far, Vojvodina and TSC lost all matches, and Partizan lost first in Azerbeijan, not a good start

in other matches, PAOK went through against Hajduk, while Scottisch clubs also went in next round, Hearts against Rosenborg, Hibernians against Luzern, didn't expect both to pass

Congrat to Partizan fans, there is at least few of them there.

thanks man, off to Nordsjaelland, will be a tough, but manageable to pass

[Pierre 2]

I was pretty much surprised with Adana Demirspor's performance in Conference League. They definitely outdid themselves. But I guess this is going to be end. Olympiakos is too strong compared to Adana Demirspor and I think they will easily win at home, at Greece. I think Adana Demirspor can't score more than one goal at away against Olympiakos so bettors should be cautious. Do not trust in Adana Demirspor that much, please.

I watched both games a week ago and yesterday and I must say one thing. I had a feeling that Hajduk wouldn't score if they were playing 10 games in a row. A week ago Hajduk hit post two times and had a lot of opportunities to score, but they couldn't. Yesterday they didn't play as good as in the first game. I don't understand why Leko didn't replace Odjidja-Ofoe. He looked so bad.
