UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

[ShowOff]

If you really believe that is how the game will go then I guess you haven't been watching this Barcelona. Barcelona have conceded just 4 goals from counter attack this season and have conceded 7 goals in the league. The last goal they conceded came against Betis and it was an own goal. The defense is the best and most inform part of Barcelona this season. Injuries made them concede that much against Bayern.
The game against United is going to be very tactical and if United want to depend on counter then they'll lose.

You can't convince someone who hates Barcelona to say Barcelona are better this season, it's useless. Lol
I support what you say because I hardly missed a Barcelona match this season. I admit that they have developed well in La Liga by bagging 53 points in 20 matches and conceding only 7 goals. But that can't convince someone who doesn't like Barcelona even though Real Madrid have been playing so badly lately.

The Europa League might be different because Barcelona will be up against Premier League team, and this is match that should be difficult for both of them. After all, Manchester United are also not really weak and they are also not really strong on all fronts, so there must be gap for Barcelona to score goals in the two meetings later.

Arsenal is the only team in the Europa league that I am very sure they can always perform very well always  and they have the chance of winning the league because they  are much consistent than every other team in the europa league.  I can't really give account of Barcelona in the europa league.

as long as arsenal hasn't played against barcelona, I don't agree with you that arsenal is the best team in european league

Juventus also still have the chance to become the favorite team to win because we have seen for ourselves how Allegri managed to build this team from its slump at the start of the Serie A season

it seems that the European league competition will be fierce and the four big teams (MU, Barcelona, Arsenal and Juventus) have an almost even chance of being able to win the uel this season

I agree with you about the arsenal part, really the arsenal is not as strong and scary as before, you can see that they are worn out and barcelona is very strong, both in defense and in attack, if they have strong teams that I think can win the europa league are:

- Barcelona

- manchester united

now talking about juventus, they became shit, this coach should have already left juventus, he made juventus play badly and pass humiliations, i do not understand how he is still in juventus, juventus has no chance of winning something important this season

Juventus has very poort performance. The points deduction has been making juventus lose its spirit. It will also be impacting the performance of juventus in europa league. Barcelona has a bad result against frankfurt last season. Will MU give barcelona the same result as when barcelona was against frankfurt?

I think that the chance for MU to be a winner for this season become even bigger if MU will able to defeat barcelona. Juventus has lost everything since its points got deducted.

[CryptoBuds]

Many were very bordered about Arsenal in the initial moment when Gabriel Jesus went on the injury. I'm glad things aren't working badly for them. Presently I don't think anything can stop Arsenal from winning the Epl title this season, not even the loss to Everton, not Manchester City or Manchester United. But I don't think the Europa league will favor them, cuz I have seen how seriously Eric Ten Hag is preparing the red devils for the title.

The first thing is that Arsenal is a very stable team right now. And they are not dependent on any particular player. Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta has managed to create an extraordinary match strategy. As a result, every player in the team is able to perform well from his position, because of good performance as a team, Arsenal has been able to maintain consistency.
This is why the absence of an important player like Jesus is not felt in Arsenal's performance. Their performance is still stable. And this has been possible due to Arteta's excellent match strategy and the confidence of the team's players.

In this season, Arsenal have so many good factors which contribute to their success in general. They had a good preparation since the last season because their players got good experience with pressure in top four race and to maintain a position in top four. In the last season, they failed but it gave their players very valuable lessons.

It looks perfect for Arsenal because many big clubs suddenly got serious problems like Chelsea and Liverpool. They give Arsenal better chances to participate in top four and have less competitors too.

From Arsenal side, their players are performing so well and their substitution players do their jobs well to help the club getting as best results as they can when main players were suspended or injured.

I believe that Arsenal have so many converged reasons to be a winner of Premier League in this season.

you are right The performances of Arsenal's main squad players have been very strong. Even their bench players are performing well. Substitute players are playing very well. And so Arsenal is not facing irony even if any player is injured. Arteta certainly deserves praise. He transformed a team that was unstable last season into one of the strongest in the Premier League. Made the players confident. As a result, Arsenal players are not afraid to perform well against any giant team. In 20 matches they managed to score 45 goals and conceded only 17 goals. Newcastle has the strongest defense this season and Arsenal will be in second place.

[bering]

There is also Monaco, this team not must be forgotten. Monaco is now also in better condition, they are currently undefeated in the domestic league after world cup. Their performance is good and they are expected to be able to compete in the European league which is their target as well. You're right, all eyes are on Barcelona vs Manchester United, I think the one team of that wins from this match will be possibility to favorite the majority of bettors.

Monaco have to hard struggle to qualified before that they were starting group stage matches with several loses even at that time Monaco has suffered lose with huge scores from Trabzonspor but Monaco can able to bounce back and finish at second position and qualified to play off matches and indeed i can see after world cup Monaco can able to improved their performance in France league that they can able to wins several times for important matches

Monaco opponent is Leverkusen and Leverkusen performance on Bundesliga also quite good even their current manager Xabi Alonso can bringing Leverkusen to avoid relegation zone and i haven't check the odds yet but probably Monaco slightly the favourite in this match and from head to head statistics Monaco had good records from Leverkusen before so lets see Monaco can managed those records and win from Leverkusen or not

[mamesso]

I would say the strongest teams in the Europa League right now are Arsenal and Barcelona. The Arsenal team has continued to perform consistently in competitive leagues like the Premier League. And they have been on top of the table since the start of the season. The performance of the Barcelona team was unstable a few days ago. But now they are consistently performing well. Barcelona have performed well in the last few matches. I want to keep these two teams ahead to win the European League title.

The way Arsenal is performing in the English Premier League, if they perform like that in the Europa League as well, I do not think that any other team will be able to win against them.

On the other hand, Barcelona is also performing well. And recently Manchester United has also shown good improvement. So right now it is really hard for anyone to predict which team is going to win the Europa League. But I also believe that Arsenal has a better chance. If I have to pick any team after Arsenal, I have to say Barcelona.

The defeat that just happened to Arsenal in the Premier League was a lesson for Arteta, even though they managed to achieve a series of positive results they can still be beaten. The mistakes made by Arsenal when they lost to Everton became material for evaluation for Arteta to play more disciplined when facing bigger clubs in the Europa League.

Arsenal journey is still very long to get to the final, Arteta must be able to maintain Arsenal quality and close all the gaps that can benefit the opposing team. The success of Manchester United overhauling its squad must be watched out for by Arsenal, Barcelona also performed well in La Liga. Arsenal still has the potential to face one of its toughest competitors, I hope Arsenal and Barcelona can fight in the Final to be the best in the Europa League this season.

[RealMalatesta]

We shouldn't write off Manchester United also. The favourites for the Europa League title currently are Arsenal, Barcelona, Manchester United and Juventus to me.

One of the Barcelona - Manchester United duo is going to be out by this round of course. But I don't think there is any clear favourite between them. Barcelona are really doing amazing in the La Liga now. In addition to that they have improved their game in big matches as well. Their Super Cup match against Real Madrid can be given as a great example. On the other hand Manchester United are also in a great shape. Erik ten Hag has built up a strong chemistry with the team and this has started to reflect on the results.

Arsenal are focused mainly on the English Premier League. If the gap between them and their closest opponent becomes too close then they might have some concentration problems in the Europa League. But I still think they are the biggest title contender. Lastly Juventus are in a bad condition in the Serie A after the punishment. But on one hand this is the time they can really increase their focus on the Europa League. Because this can be their only way to the Champions League next season.

Juventus may not be the best team out of them all, but they have the most to lose as well. They have absolutely no chance in the league after such punishment, and that means they need to win the Europa cup to be relevant next year, they spent so much money this year and they have nothing to show for it, which means if they can win Europa cup, that would be something to show for, and next year they will be both fighting for a title in the league, but also be back where they were in UCL after a while too.

That's an important thing, it allows people to have some sort of understanding where things are going and that is why it's such an important task. Maybe they won't win, but they need it more than others.

in few days time would watch the Europa cup competition, have been waiting for the Manchester United and Barcelona game, like everyone else, is a game of the best team at the moment. Both team are in perfect shape in their leagues, Arsenal will also advance to the next stage but their interest are in the league title. I think they won't more effort in the Europa title. Juventus are team to beat in this tournament , because they hope for champions league next year depend on this title. They're out for Italian league tittle because of their points deduction. The only cup they have more interest in is this europa cup, they will put more effort than any other team.

I watched Arsenal's matches in EL and in the Premier League, and I will say that Arteta did not spend much energy on EL, either he thought that this was enough for opponents of this level, or this tournament was not very important for him. Another interesting confrontation is Ajax - Union Berlin, after several draws, Ajax started to win again scoring many goals, and Union Berlin improved the game and even removed Bayern from the first place for one day.

Ajax and union Berlin is going to be a goal fest in the europa league because both teams are now in full gear of goals scored per match and i just know that with the current form of teams this match certainly won't disappoint. I have previously placed bet on ajax on their three game but was all lost because of the draw spree Ajax had. Am just glad their are now in good scoring form and i think ajax is going to knock out their opponents prior to the experience they have in playing European football. Union Berlin is just another shock to the football minority because this team has certainly performed more than their expectations in the bundesliga. They are currently sitting second on the bundesliga and i think have no plan of leaving anytime soon and would be a tough nut crack in the europa league this season for teams facing them but hopefully Ajax can do the job.

According to the latest news if busquest may not able to play against MU due to his injury. It seems like this gonna be affecting the performance of barcelona a little bit. I do know barcelona has so many young players to replace him but not as a captain.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11720613/Barcelona-captain-Sergio-Busquets-set-miss-Manchester-United-clash-suffering-ankle-injury.html

As a veteran player and busquets's contribution is a lot especially to give advice to the young players who played with him. He is good as a captain.

Barcelona meeting with Manchester United in Europa will be a match that will be decided in the football pitch despite the good head to head record being enjoyed by Barcelona it is been noted that since 2012 Bacelona has won manchester united 4times against manchester united 1, we shouldnt take the away team which is Manchester United for granted because they are much in form in their league side so in this game we shouldn't totally bank on Barca unless we are looking at home advantage and to me that doesnt count this time.

[minime0105]

Ajax will be hosting the German side union berlin in a football battle that I tag survival of the fittest, I know somany person has decided to give the day to ajax but I don't succumb to such conclusion because union Berlin has proven beyond reasonable doubt that they are also a team to support , in their recent league matches, since the return of league matches after the international break union Berlin has won all their matches without a draw I see them doing greatly well in this match with a surprising outcome.

@minime0105 that record won’t matter because both team’s are playing very well now, and while I initially thought that Barcelona would struggle but they seem to be in fine form hence it’ll be an entertaining clash for sure. Furthermore I’m yet convinced that Manchester United will win for two reasons i.e. 1) Ten Hag will be motivated to win a trophy in his first season and 2) winning the Europa League will guarantee the club a champions league spot for the next season

[Franctoshi]

despite the good head to head record being enjoyed by Barcelona it is been noted that since 2012 Bacelona has won manchester united 4times against manchester united 1.

This is true that Barcelona have had several wins over Man United , but I do think that this time around it's going to be a different ball game, looking at Man United form and Changes over the years in both clubs. Barcelona had this incredible coach Guardiola and players,  Lionel, Xavi, Iniesta and more compared to what they have now, basically a lot of things has changed which could affect the result too.

[BALIK]

Apart from Arsenal,  Barcelona, and Juventus, I don't see any other strong contender that is capable of stopping Manchester united in the Europa league. Eric Ten Hag has done a great job so far, and I believe he is setting every system to go for the Europa league title. Manchester United is so hungry to get a title for some seasons now, it will be so good to see them register another Europa league title after the last one in 2017 in Sweden.

IMO, Arsenal are more established in game than the other candidates. if I compare all the existing teams, Arsenal always display a consistent game in every game. as for The Red Devils and Barcelona, ​​these two teams have just built their squads. even though in their matches, these two teams almost always win every game. However, in terms of stability, play and readiness, Arsenal are superior.

I would say the strongest teams in the Europa League right now are Arsenal and Barcelona. The Arsenal team has continued to perform consistently in competitive leagues like the Premier League. And they have been on top of the table since the start of the season. The performance of the Barcelona team was unstable a few days ago. But now they are consistently performing well. Barcelona have performed well in the last few matches. I want to keep these two teams ahead to win the European League title.

On the other hand, Barcelona is also performing well. And recently Manchester United has also shown good improvement. So right now it is really hard for anyone to predict which team is going to win the Europa League. But I also believe that Arsenal has a better chance. If I have to pick any team after Arsenal, I have to say Barcelona.

you are right Barcelona and Arsenal are the most likely to win the Europa League title. However, Roma, Union Berlin and Ajax teams should not be neglected. These teams are consistently performing well in their respective leagues. But Barcelona and Arsenal have the strongest squads. Now it is natural that the team that plays consistently well will win the title.

Barcelona's next obstacle in winning the title is Manchester United. It will be very difficult for Barcelona to win against United. Barcelona's performance against Manchester United will tell whether the team deserves to win the title.

[Despairo]

Barcelona had this incredible coach Guardiola and players,  Lionel, Xavi, Iniesta and more compared to what they have now, basically a lot of things has changed which could affect the result too.

Without Xavi, Iniesta and other Barcelona's veteran players, they're able to beat Manchester United. Check the match on April 11, 2019 and April 17, 2019, only both Messi and Suarez playing as the strikers, the midfielders are same like the current year. It's really wrong to say Barcelona is really different with the old one, Messi is a GOAT, but football is a team play and the current Barcelona's players are good enough.

Even if Messi and Suarez are not playing I think that a goal machine like Lewandoswki is a great striker for any team to have and it is only natural for him to score a lot of goals because the other team members are making sure to serve him as many balls as possible during a game.I don't think he,Lewandowski will have that big of a problem to score against a team like Manchester United which lately has been conceding goals in almost every game they play,be it in the Premier League or other competitions.Barcelona is clearly the favorite in this encounter.

Ajax will be hosting the German side union berlin in a football battle that I tag survival of the fittest, I know somany person has decided to give the day to ajax but I don't succumb to such conclusion because union Berlin has proven beyond reasonable doubt that they are also a team to support , in their recent league matches, since the return of league matches after the international break union Berlin has won all their matches without a draw I see them doing greatly well in this match with a surprising outcome.

Ajax, like Union Berlin, play very well at home. But looking at Berlin's stats, they are in excellent shape, unlike Ajax. But I think that the first game will be in favour of Ajax and the return match will be won by Berlin. It's hard to guess who will go on to the Europa League, but I think it will be Ajax.
