UEFA Conference League 2022/23 Season

[redhack]

Welcome to the non-self-moderated UEFA Conference League 2022/23 Season discussion thread.

• UEFA Conference League is the third cup of Europe.
• Roma is the first winner of this cup.
• There are 184 teams total, 32 in group stage.
• This is the second year of the tournament.

Başakşehir won the tough away game with Ndayishimiye's goal and passed the round.
Konyaspor played a comfortable game against BATE Borisov at home and advanced to the round with two goals scored from the first half. I expected more resistance from BATE Borisov but Konyaspor played perfectly. In the first match, although 10 people remained away, they scored 3 goals and they won. BATE Borisov was completely disbanded. Konyaspor played excellently in both matches.
This is how Turkish teams played in second qualification round. They must pass the next round as well. We should see both teams in the group stage.

Roma FC won UEFA Conference League last year. And Roma FC became the first owner of this trophy. I curious who will win this trophy this year. Konyaspor and Başakşehir passed the second qualification round. I congratulate Konyaspor and Başakşehir.

I am still getting used to this whole new format. But I think its far better than former Inter-Toto thing. Villarreal, West Ham, Basel, AZ Alkmaar and Fiorentina are the best teams right now and probably the biggest candidates for championship. Basel achieved to go next round winning against Northern Ireland team Crusaders. I will follow Başakşehir here as they can also surprise people with good squad.

What is interesting to me, when I look at all the results of the second qualifying round of this competition, are the surprisingly good results of the clubs from Malta and Cyprus and the disastrous results of the clubs from the countries of the former Yugoslavia.
On Thursday, almost all the clubs from this area, which played, 11 or 12 clubs, were eliminated from the European competitions.
In the past, clubs from the area of the former Yugoslavia won European competitions a few times and always played at least in the semi-finals or quarter-finals, but today they cannot beat rivals from countries like Malta and Cyprus, which tells me that their clubs and domestic leagues are less and less competitive in Europe, with the exception of Zvezda , Partizan and Dinamo.
As for the competition itself, I am glad that UEFA started it. Even before 2000 we had 3 different club competitions in Europe and that turned out to be a very good decision.
In this way, a chance is given to small clubs and countries to achieve some European success and earn some money.

Konyaspor's opponent in the UEFA Conference League was Vaduz. And our other representative Başakşehir's opponent in the UEFA Conference League was Breidablik. If Başakşehir and Konyaspor pass this round, they will go to the play-off round. Their likely rivals will be Lillestrom-Royal Antwerp for Başakşehir and Neftçi PFK - SK Rapid Wien for Konyaspor.

The Young Boys and Anderlecht win seemed assured, both taking a double goal lead early on. Viking is also ahead of Sligo Rovers by two goals at home.
Slavia Prague is expected to win the match but still no goals scored. It can be entered through live betting. CFR Cluj is also expected to win away. I will add the CSKA Sofia win and make a nice live combo bet. I hope my luck will be with me.

There has always been discussion going on about UEFA conference league, the recent qualification match played was still few days ago. buwaytress created a topic about the new season UEFA conference league few weeks ago:

But the thread is self-moderated. Anyone because of this may want to create another thread which is not self-moderated, but this will be a means to notify users that a thread related to this is already existing, but which is self-moderated.

Although to keep the discussion clean and better, a self-moderated thread would be better.

Your post makes no sense and it's off-topic reply. If this would be a self moderated thread it should be long gone. You didn't even read OP, this is non self moderated thread as there was none before this thread. People can't be forced to write in self moderated threads. Free speech, have you ever heard it?
Moderators do great job if you report posts. Let them do their job, not a random member just because he opened the thread.

I don't care if its off topic but Oshosondy just said his part. If you don't want to have a self-moderated thread for UEFA discussions then so be it and at least locked the other same thread with no replies or delete it if you can delete it. Anyway, self-moderated thread replies can be deleted but if you want to continue the free speach then don't delete it even if it is a self-moderated. It's unlikely that I can delete a reply in your self-moderated thread unless I am one of the forum's staff.

[redhack]

at least locked the other same thread with no replies or delete it if you can delete it.

I don't understand what you tried to say. Where is other same thread with no replies? Which thread are you talking about?
There is only one self moderated and one non self moderated thread about same competition. People have right to choose whether they want to post in self moderated thread or non self moderated thread.
If there was a non self moderated thread already I wouldn't open these ones.

Sorry my bad I didn't notice right away, I guess I didn't take quite a good look at the title because the title is almost identical except for one word. Don't worry about it but if there is a self-moderated thread with the same topic as this then better use one of it as it will only get deleted by moderator.

Konyaspor found equalizer so late that they don't have much time to find winning goal. They had two balls hit the post in the game. Even though it was seven minutes extra time Vaduz closed down well and the match finished as draw. Konyaspor should've won this game but at least they got this draw in away game so next week they can pass Vaduz at home in Konya.
There is a big quality difference between these two teams, Vaduz count themselves lucky to get this draw. I expect a very different game in Konya. Any score other than Konyaspor win would be very surprising.

[Gencecikmen]

There were UEFA Conference League 3nd Qualifying Round 1nd leg match today. First of all, congratulations to Konyaspor and Başakşehir. Konyaspor had a very good performance. And they deserved the win. Başakşehir got a easy win. Their opponents were very weak, not at their level. Basaksehir won the match 3-1.

Dundee United's defeat of AZ Alkmaar was the surprise of the night. Vikingur's defeat of Lech Poznan was also a minor surprise. Other than that, the defeat of CSKA Sofia was a surprise and threw my coupon away. There were not much surprises and either the favorites won or the game ended as draw. Making choices accordingly in the second matches of the tour will make our job easier.
For example Rapid Wien lost away but will win at home. CFR Cluj drew, they need to win too. Of course, what the odds will be is also important. We'll see that next week. I may stick to teams I know better.

Başakşehir won an easy win against Breidablik. They have already passed the tour with the clear win they got away. The return match to be played in Istanbul will be a formality match. Because Breidablik created a very ineffective image against Başakşehir. In fact, Başakşehir might have struggled in this match due to the climatic conditions, but they were very comfortable.

Konyaspor lost to Vaduz at home and was eliminated from European competitions. Such a result is unacceptable. Moreover, they took the lead with a penalty goal. They conceded 2 goals in 3 minutes and closed the first half behind. They couldn't produce in attack and in the second half they gave a deficit in defense. They conceded 2 more goals. It was a great disgrace for Konyaspor to conceded 4 goals at home from a small team like Vaduz. Their defense wasn't that bad actually. It's hard to understand how this happened.
From now on, only Başakşehir will be able to continue the tournament among Turkish teams. Fortunately, there is no problem in their match. They are ahead with Okaka's goal.

There were UEFA Conference League 3nd Qualifying Round 2nd leg match tonight. First of all, congratulations to Başakşehir. Başakşehir won an easy win against Breidablik. Başakşehir will play play-off matches with Royal Antwerp. Başakşehir will be able to continue the tournament but Konyaspor lost to Vaduz and was eliminated. This was suprise for me.

[Slow death]

results that did not surprise me:

1 - young boys won easily

2 - Gil vicente won easily

3 - AZ also won easily

I'm surprised by the turnaround rapid wien made

Konyaspor lost to Vaduz and was eliminated. This was suprise for me.

I'm glad I didn't bet on that game, although I expected Konyaspor to win the game, having conceded 4 goals was very sad

@Slow death what was wrong Dundee Utd because it felt like they had turned up for a practice session, and after their previous victory I felt that they had a good chance of winning again. Furthermore all credit to to AZ Alkmaar player’s for the way they totally ripped apart Dundee Utd player’s, and now I feel that if they can maintain such good form then they’ll be one of the contenders to reach the semis at least.
