UEFA Conference League 2022/23 Season

[trendcoin]

Sivasspor managed to beat Cluj with a very good game at home and guaranteed to advance to the next round. It is very interesting that experienced football players such as Mustapha Yatabaré and Gradel, whom I grumbled due to their age, scored the team's goals. I guess I won't be talking about them anymore because they taught me a good lesson tonight. :)

In addition, the friendship dinner held by the managers of both teams before this match was admirable. I love meetings that highlight the beauties of football.

Basaksehir can still continue without defeat and the great thing is, so far Basaksehir have not conceded a goal and they have certainly qualified for the next round. With a situation that has made Basaksehir comfortable because it has been confirmed that he will qualify for the next round, but I wonder if in the next match Basaksehir will still maintain this good record to keep clean sheets or even lose. Because Basaksehir will play away against Fiorentina and the previous match Basaksehir can beat Fiorentina with a score of 3-0, but in last night's match Fiorentina won big with a score of 5-1 against Hearts. For me it will be interesting even though these two teams are projected to qualify, but whether Fiorentina will fight to win as a way of revenge or Basaksehir who can still maintain their good trend in this tournament.

Well yes, for me Basaksehi will continue to maintain his level, I don't think that because the pros now have that the Fiore beat him by far they have to do it against Basaksehi, I think that this is a lesson, because Basaksehi can do the job as they are doing, It doesn't matter if they keep a clean sheet or not, the important thing here is the results, keep advancing, as you said well, it's quite a feat that they were able to advance to the next round, but they can't lower the level because they passed, everything On the contrary, as they increase and go to another round, things get tougher and that is when they must show what they have the most.

And West Ham continues to do well:

West Ham 1-0 Silkeborg IF: Lanzini’s penalty maintains Hammers’ perfect group stage record

The penalty was soft to say the least, with Michail Antonio needlessly clipped by Silkeborg goalkeeper Nicolai Larsen.

But nobody of a claret and blue persuasion was complaining, least of all manager David Moyes who can now put this competition to bed until March and concentrate on climbing the Premier League.

Antonio, one of nine changes from the win over Bournemouth on Monday night, made a fast start and skipped round Silkeborg defender Robert Goljani before pinging in an angled shot which Larsen blocked with his leg.

Moyes gave a belated debut to Nayef Aguerd, the Morocco defender signed for £30million in the summer only to suffer an ankle injury in pre-season.

Sivasspor has important contributions to the country score. Mustapha Yatabaré and Gradel reflect their experience on the field very well. Sivasspor plays in the European Cups in a row. They are used to that level now. Fenerbahce, Başakşehir and Trabzonspor did not win in the European cups this week. That's why Sivasspor's 3 points became even more valuable.

Friendly dinners before the match also increase the beauty of football. I would like to see more. After all, these matches are played every year and there is always a chance to match each other.

Başakşehir finished ahead of Hearts in the first half of the match with great goals from Ndayishimiye and Serdar Güller (2-0). Ndayishimiye is a great defensive midfielder with a strong physique but has scored his 6th goal this season. I think he is a player to watch carefully because his career has the potential to shine in a few years... We can say that Başakşehir defeated Hearts tonight and we can say that they will finish the group as the leader because there is a clear power difference between both teams.

It's a big achievement for Sivasspor. They finished the group in first place as an underdog. Slavia Prag and Cluj were more experienced teams and Slavia Prag was the favorite of this group but they were eliminated. Surely they wanted to win this game and they did everything, except to find goals early. Sivasspor managed to defend well, after the penalty goal they don't have to attack much. Rıza Çalımbay knows how to defend and keep the score. Substitutions were on point, Yatabare could play more time though. He waited until they conceded a goal. Very emotional result for both teams. Slavia Prag is shocked that they didn't win the game and even missed play-off chance. This is probably Sivasspor's biggest achievement in European competitions. I wonder how far they could go now.

Didnt expect sivasspor to be first in this group,didnt even expect them to advance in it. Slavia Prague just dissapointing that they are third in the group. Even with todays win they werent able to advance. Cluj also who were bad in the qualifications went through.

Congratulations to the Turkish teams that made it to the next round. Sivasspor and Başakşehir achieved a success that wasn't easy and finished their groups as leaders. I wish them good luck in the next round. Neither team had previously had success in European cups. The organization of the Conference League has been good for teams of this caliber. They too can enjoy success in Europe. They see that they can achieve something with a strong playing mentality and strong motivation. They played in Conference League games better than they played in Turkish Super League. I hope they play like this in other rounds as well.

I agree leagues like this one are very much needed for teams of a lower quality than Champions League and Europa League,I would beside the Turkish teams which normally are coming from a country who loves football and has budget,also the FC Ballkani a small team from a village of Kosovo that is the first time to be playing in group stages of any international competitions.Based on these facts I also love Conference League as it proved itself a great battleground for teams that cannot otherwise compete in European competitions.

But in the end Ballkani couldn't do much and they were only bottom of Group G but indeed, at least Ballkani can give a little surprise by beating Sivasspor. No one thought that Ballkani could win in that away match, because even Sivasspor in this group was the strongest team because in the end Sivasspor could win the group but Ballkani beat him and of course it was something great.

But regarding these two Turkish teams, I am personally very optimistic that Basaksehir is the best compared to Sivasspor and because of that, I believe Basaksehir will be able to go further in this tournament. Because Basaksehir in the local league in the last few seasons has always been a team that is in the title race so yes, Basaksehir should have the ability maybe to the semi-finals. Because if I consider other teams, especially teams from the Europa League who will join here, then of course to get to the final match will still require great effort in the quality they have.

West Ham is unstoppable in the confrence league and is just dominating and this is their fifth win in a row in the group. I think with how they are playing they are the main favorites currently to win the trophy. Silkeborg and Anderlecht are still fighting for that second spot and still time to decide who will advance.

Without a doubt I believe West ham can win the conference trophy, even though there are some good teams there. but I believe West ham is not afraid of anyone because West ham have a good squad of players. The performance in the group was quite convincing by getting perfect points and becoming the winner of group B.

Of course West Ham is unstoppable,it is a team from UK and the Premier League is the strongest league in Europe and no this is not only my opinion but a massively accepted one from many Europeans.I was just checking the full list of the teams remaining there and without taking into consideration those that will come from Europa League,it looks like West Ham is the strongest team compared to all others,they sure have a chance to make a huge win this year if they manage to win this league.

West Ham is the only team to finish their 6 games in the Conference League with a win. quite prolific with 13 goals and very few conceded. although there are Fiorentina and Istanbul who are also productive and strong in scoring goals.
Besides West Ham, I'm also Villarreal's favorite. now Villarreal top group C. and their form in the League is not bad either.

West Ham isn't well in EPL, yet they managed to get all points in its group. Well teams in that group aren't top either. Same situation for Villarreal but without full points.
For the other groups, games were more challenging. Now those which ended second will have hard times facing those coming from Europa League like Lazio but also the other teams!

Well the problem is in their premier league style. In confrence league they are perfect because they are playing against really weaker teams. They shouldnt even be in this tournament but still surprised that they are bad in the premier league. I think If they keep having weaker teams they might win it

In current season they are struggling in Premier League but their recent few results giving good impression about their improvement which is good as they are one of the best teams in this UEFA Conference Cup no doubt they can go until last four without any doubt just because of their quality and performance but now as we have eight teams are drop from UEFA Europa Cup we have to check how things will be work for them here even I am also feeling in this season they can win this Cup and for English Premier League now they can do better as well which will help them for staying into top ten because they are still capable of this and their performance could be improved more in coming matches.

I am following Turkish League for last few years and now having good improvement in their quality and performance which is surely positive indicator for these clubs because they are also doing amazing work even still it's long way to go for them if they want to compete with other top European clubs.

But, this positive change is going to have big impact on their domestic league as well as right now we have two clubs Basaksehir and Sivasspor with the drop of Trabzonspor into UEFA Conference League from UEFA Europa Cup now we will be having three teams in this cup hopefully they could be able to have better results in knock out stages as well and this experience will be going to help them for having improving quality because these leagues are surely much better than local league hopefully from these teams we will be able to have them into last four.

lot of talks regarding CL and EL draws, but ECL draw was also interesting

Partizan will face Sheriff, we have a history with them, but they are obviously better team now, will be an interesting fight
Trabzonspor will face Basel, Braga will have tough task against Fiorentina and Lazio is going to Romania, to face Cluj

[ingiltere]

It's admirable that Trabzonspor prepared for the match and played so well in these bad days. However, they scored only one goal and missed many goals. The match ended only 1-0 as they couldn't turn the clear opportunities into goals, whereas they could have scored 4-5 goals. I hope they don't have any problems in the away game as they wasted the positions so generously. They could have gone there in a much more comfortable position. I still think they will pass the tour no matter what. They are the better team.

Partizan with a big win against Sheriff in an away match and they barely won it with 10 men. They had a good chance to go 2-0 but missed a huge chance. But still a good result for Partizan. Also Lazio barely won against Cluj and Lazio had only 10 players

[Velvet78]

After the early red card it felt like Lazio could have even lost the game. But they still showed their strength against Cluj and beat them by 1-0. Normally it doesn't matter much for Lazio to play with 10 or 11 players against a much smaller team like Cluj. But this is the Europa Conference League and it can be really hard to predict what big teams would do here.

Lazio's main goal is to finish the season in top four in the Serie A of course. But maybe they can decide to push for the ECL title as well. They are surely one of the strong candidates but it depends on how they will play in the future.
