UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

[Juggy777]

Manchester United - Sevilla can be a great matchup honestly. But I just have doubts about Sevilla that they can play really poorly this time.

Because they are having a terrible season now. They didn't even deserve to reach this stage in the Europa League in my opinion. Despite their bad performance against Fenerbahce they still made it here. But Manchester United should be able to counter them easily by this high effort. They really want this title as it seems. Therefore I expect this to be extra motivation to finish off Sevilla just as they did to another Spanish team, Betis.

Manchester United were lucky because the drawing brought them together with Sevilla, Sevilla inconsistent condition this season has made Manchester United not too worried about the opponents they will face. Manchester United have returned to their best form since Ten Hag took over as coach, while Sevilla have struggled in La Liga due to inconsistent performances.
I see that this game will be one-sided because the conditions of the two teams are not balanced, even though Sevilla condition is unstable, Manchester United must not underestimate Sevilla.

@Velvet78 I’m pretty sure that Manchester United player’s will beat Sevilla, because if they could defeat Barcelona who were sitting on the top in their league then I’m sure that they can defeat any other cub that comes their way. Furthermore another key reason to win the Europa League is the tight race for the 3rd and 4th spot in the premier league, and thus winning the Europa League is important because it guarantees them champions league football for next season.

Manchester United were lucky because the drawing brought them together with Sevilla, Sevilla inconsistent condition this season has made Manchester United not too worried about the opponents they will face.

I don't think it is a lucky draw for Manchester United to meet Sevilla in Europa League. Something can not explain why Sevilla can win too many Europa League titles in their history. They can not win it in all seasons but playing against Sevilla in Europa League like playing against Real Madrid in Champions League. Sometimes opponents feel stressful and they play against Sevilla with worse performance than their usual performance.

Manchester United have returned to their best form since Ten Hag took over as coach, while Sevilla have struggled in La Liga due to inconsistent performances.
I see that this game will be one-sided because the conditions of the two teams are not balanced, even though Sevilla condition is unstable, Manchester United must not underestimate Sevilla.

Manchester United can beat Sevilla with their good improvement in this season but if you consider those two matches between them are one-sided toward Manchester United, I really think that won't happen. United now are far from a big club which can beat most of opponents from big to small and in mostly every match. Therefore chance for Sevilla to make shocked results is not small.

I’m pretty sure that Manchester United player’s will beat Sevilla, because if they could defeat Barcelona who were sitting on the top in their league then I’m sure that they can defeat any other cub that comes their way.

Football is not like math and we can see surprising beauty in football. If matches always end as win for stronger teams, nobody will go to stadium and watch football matches. Chance is leaning towards Manchester United but Sevilla will play for their own chance.

It’s very disappointing Arsenal got eliminated from the Europa league. I think Arteta didn't show much interest in the Europa league title when they faced Sporting almost a weak ago, I really don't like the idea of intentionally dropping out of cup competitions with the aim of keeping the squad fit for a particular trophy (EPL), now how will Arteta face the world if Arsenal fail to win the premier league title.

How it's possible you're saying Arteta didn't interested with Europa league? Arsenal were trying as their best to score a goal during extra times, but Sporting CP's goalkeeper just good enough to save a ball. Arsenal's goalkeeper e.g. Ramsdale keep making blunder and doesn't good to save a ball, it's better for Arsenal is looking for other goal keeper. Actually Matt Turner is better than Ramsdale, but Arteta doesn't use him to play.

Arteta wants to win both the Premier League and Europa League titles. And Arsenal has the ability to win both of these titles. This is because Arsenal is not dependent on the performance of any particular player. Real Madrid is a strong team but they depend on Benzema's performance. Manchester City has plenty of star players, yet they are reliant on Haaland's performances. But Arsenal are very stable as a team. The team is not dependent on the performance of any particular player. And so they have the potential to win both the Premier League and Europa League titles.

Sometimes even the most experienced and best coaches lose a game and this shouldn't be a reason to say Arteta is the reason for Arsenal to losing in the Europa League, nothing is predictable and this time Arsenal lost Eurpa lege while I mean thinking they can even win the title this season with Arteta because the performance they had during this season, but now I guess after Arsenal Manchester United is the first hope.

Sporting vs juventus game seem to be an interesting one now that we have seen how dangerous sporting team is after eliminating arsenal one of the favourites to win the europa league, juventus team will have difficulties getting past them i think it will be a competitive game, juventus are on fire recently so i expect them to make it to the semi finals.

Sporting CP eliminated Arsenal on penalties and it was a surprise that the Sporting CP team managed to make in the previous round, but I don't think that the surprise will happen again in the match against Juventus even though the match will be fierce because considering Juventus are currently have also started to improve a little in terms of their performance in the last few matches of the season, including in the Europa League.

I read the latest news that said that sampaoli had already sacked by sevilla. What a great day for all of MU betters. That means if sevilla will be playing against MU in under a new coach. That will be also mean if sevilla needs to adapt under a new coach which will be giving a very good advantage for manchester united. That will make sevilla lose its team work and i would say that if MU gonna win easily against sevilla in the first leg.

I don't even wanna speculate how many goals will be made by MU but im feeling so confidence with the chance for MU to win the match over sevilla soon.
Sevilla is actually under pressure at this moment caused of sevilla's decision to sack sampaoli when the club will be facing manchester united, what people called that as king of europa league was losing against getafe which is a big shame.
How many people are still putting their choice into the sevilla after sampaoli got sacked?

As MU supporter and im so happy to see that news

I also believe Juventus will win, Sporting are so strong that is why they were able to eliminate Arsenal, but i do not feel that they can eliminate Juve. Juventus have been playing very well since 15 points were deduced from them, and even now in the seria A, they are back in the challenge to qualify for the champions league, but they are still a little bit far in the seria A table, so they will take this Europa leaue as an opportunity to qualify for the champions league next season if they win it, because of that i think they will play at their best and i expect them to get to the final.

I would say it was a totally unexpected result. Arsenal played very well throughout the match. But Sporting aimed to draw the match. They kept their defense strong. And they succeeded. Arsenal players were unable to penetrate Sporting's defense despite several good attacks. However, it was unfortunate for Arsenal that they lost this match. I guess a lot of gamblers lost their money today. Because Arsenal was the favorite in this match.

It is very clear that the first leg match will be a victory for the red devils and as hosts, they will definitely score a lot of goals to widen the aggregate in the second leg later. But even though the UEL kings are very attached to Sevilla, Manchester United has now become one of the candidates for the European League championship this season, it is very clear that they will get rid of any team. On the other hand, there is quite shocking news, because Sevilla coach Sampoli will be fired ahead of their match against Manchester United later and this gives the Red Devils the upper hand to beat Sevilla easily. For betting odds there is no doubt if we bet on Manchester United's win and this is a definite advantage.

Sevilla was taking a very fast decision to sack him and i would be so doubtful to think that if sevilla will have big chance to win against manchester united. Sevilla needs to find a new coach as soon as possible before the match against MU. I would not be surprised to see that sevilla to see sevilla lose against united since when sevilla will have a new coach and there will be new rules, playstyle that needs to be adapted by whole of players in the club.

The thing that must be the main concern is about how bad the attacking lines that owned by sevilla. Sampaoli already sacked by club. Club is trying to find a new name as replacement for his spot.

The new coach will have very big pressures and i think that if it's quite hard to find a new guy that will be willing to handle the club to get big pressure instantly.

I didn't expect the Sevilla coach to be sacked. I think their run in the Europa League is not too bad. But the result of the game against Getafe seems to have made the management not believe it. Seven games with five defeats is not a good result, so I think they were not wrong to sack him.
Indeed, if you look at their history in the previous season, Sevilla experienced a very deep decline. Last season they could have finished fourth. Today they are in fourteenth position which leaves only twelve games.

The dismissal of the coach will have an impact on Sevilla appearance in the Europa League, Sampaoli can be said to have failed in La Liga, but in the Europa League he can make Sevilla in the quarter-finals. Players must adapt to the style of play that is carried by the new coach, this will make it more difficult for Sevilla players to develop their game. Manchester United is not an easy opponent to beat, the quality of Manchester United this season is above the quality of Sevilla.
This match will be one of the toughest matches for Sevilla, if they lose to Manchester United, Sevilla will miss the European league next season.

This match will be one of the toughest matches for Sevilla, if they lose to Manchester United, Sevilla will miss the European league next season.

After all, the dismissal was the right decision, because management certainly prioritized La Liga because Sevilla is still vulnerable to falling back into the relegation zone. Because if Sevilla keep a coach with the reason to get good results in the Europa League, then I don't think it's a good reason.

Because even though Sevilla are currently still able to play in the Europa League, but in the end Sevilla will not be able to play all the way to the final. So yes, it is clear that management is prioritizing Sevilla's position in La Liga and not about the Europa League, because with a performance like this Sevilla will not be able to progress any further in the Europa League.

Arsenal failed to continue the pursue of winning the europa championship because they have plans of winning the Premier league which is the most important aim for them. At first in the Europa League they were doing very well but because of too much pressure they couldn't maintain good performance in europa.

It’s very disappointing Arsenal got eliminated from the Europa league. I think Arteta didn't show much interest in the Europa league title when they faced Sporting almost a weak ago, I really don't like the idea of intentionally dropping out of cup competitions with the aim of keeping the squad fit for a particular trophy (EPL), now how will Arteta face the world if Arsenal fail to win the premier league title.

I can understand how you feel, and I am no exception. As fans of the Gunners, we hope that Arsenal can get rid of Sporting, especially since the game will be played at the Emirates Stadium. however, when referring to the starting line-up that Ateta took down in that match.
To be honest, I feel that Arteta is not prioritizing the win over Sporting. because some of the core players for the midfield sector were not played. in particular, Odegaard who has usually been an important player for the Gunners squad.

The sign of Arsenal's defeat seemed to have been seen in the early minutes of the first half, when Tomiyasu was pulled out in the 9th minute who had a bit of a problem with his foot. plus, followed by pulling out W.Saliba in the 21st minute. losing these two players, automatically made Fabio Vieira not have support from the defense to build attacks. as a result, Arsenal were not able to play optimally.

However, with Arsenal slipping up in the Europa League competition. Arteta will focus his team more on the Premier League, it was proven that they performed optimally against Cystal Palace. I hope Arsenal appear consistent and stay on track to win in their domestic league. well by the way, the fall of Arsenal made United the strongest challenger in this competition.

[ShowOff]

Manchester United can beat Sevilla with their good improvement in this season but if you consider those two matches between them are one-sided toward Manchester United, I really think that won't happen. United now are far from a big club which can beat most of opponents from big to small and in mostly every match. Therefore chance for Sevilla to make shocked results is not small.

Sevilla have been poor this season in various competitions, but they seem to have hopes of doing well in the Europa League. I know this season Manchester United have beaten Barcelona and Real Betis in the Europa League, but I don't think Manchester United will be fully capable of winning the game against Sevilla before they prove it in the first leg.

That is, I agree that Sevilla has a chance to win the quarter-final match against Manchester United. It is hoped that the change of coach will bring blessings to them, especially in terms of improving performance and player motivation. Sevilla's track record in the Europa League is really good, so no one will underestimate them even after sacking Sampaoli.

Indeed, if you look at their history in the previous season, Sevilla experienced a very deep decline. Last season they could have finished fourth. Today they are in fourteenth position which leaves only twelve games.

The fact that they will not take part in the European cups next year may have been effective in this decision of the administration.  You might think they played well in the European league this year, but the Manchester United matchup will probably be their last game in the Europa league.  For this reason, the fact that they will not be in the European cups next year caused Sampaoli to be fired.

At this point only the strongest teams are left within Europa League. Looks like Quarter Finals will be the most fun to watch. If we consider bets, I think Sevilla was messy compared to Fenerbahçe so I don't expect them do better against Manchester United. I would mainly put my bets on Manchester United for sure. Juventus Sporting Lisboa match will be hard to guess and prone to go extra time in my opinion as both of them are not that good in their locals.

Of course United will win against Sevilla, that will be an easy bet for me but I am not really "not worried" about it neither. It is obvious from a mile away that Sevilla is much much worse and United is by far the better team but this is also the cup Sevilla won a million times so you will never know how good or bad they could be in these knock-off stage games, they could play bad and still end up winning.

Same with Juventus and Lisbon, I would have expected Arsenal to win against Lisbon but they lost, same now with Juventus, I expect them to win but what if the same thing happens? This is why it's both obvious but also not obvious for me who will win the matches.

[BitcoinAccepted]

The level of these competitions is still considerable. For many, Arsenal was the favourite, but they are out. Often the favorite does not win in this tournament, we have been able to conclude that quite easily in recent years. I also didn't see what odds were present last season for Frankfurt to win, but I think something like 1 in 60 to win? The match between Leverkusen and Union from Belgium seems to me to be the match of the dark horses. Both an excellent opportunity to reach the semi-finals. Feyenoord would like revenge for the lost final in the Conference League last season.

[KTChampions]

The most comfortable matchup seems to be for Leverkusen in this stage. However it is still not an easy one on one hand.

Because Union Berlin were the team being eliminated by Royale Union SG in the previous stage. I was expecting the opposite to happen honestly. Now Royale Union SG will face another German team and they should be fully ready for this challenge. Besides Leverkusen's position in the Bundesliga isn't even better than Union Berlin. Leverkusen are mostly focused on the Europa League I guess. This might be some extra help for them to eliminate their opponent maybe.

Bayer have an impressive streak of 7 games with one draw and 6 wins, but I don't think their victory in this matchup is more obvious than in United vs Sevilla. Look at this team (and not the big name brand of the past) - they are literally crawling along the bottom of La Liga being only one game away from the relegation zone. In the last game they lost even to Getafe. I think it will be an easy walk for United and Rashford will be able to seriously increase his statistics if he wants to.

[BIT-BENDER]

Well many players are heading towards their National team to give them their all. One player that still surprises me is Cristiano Ronaldo. Seeing him in the Portuguese squad give me goose bumps.

Ronaldo is almost forty and he is still getting national call ups. I also have to say I am impressed with his performance for his new club and yes he deserves it.

[Distraction]

Juventus - Sporting could be another interesting matchup in this round. Because Sporting have eliminated Arsenal as you know. This was a really unexpected incident not only for me but for everyone I guess. Arsenal were like the biggest title contender according to bookies at the same time. They have said goodbye to the tournament very early. After this elimination I think Sporting will be much more motivated in the Europa League.

They might not even qualify for the Champions League considering their position in the Liga Portugal. The Europa League is very important for them at this point. Juventus are also a challenging opponent for them now. Arsenal were a stronger one maybe but Juventus might even be tougher for them with a different game plan. I think this matchup will be really close but this will be the end of the journey for Sporting.

Without any doubt this is big blunder from the management of Sevilla because sacking of Sampaoli is not going to help them at this stage of season while they are in quarter-final of the Europa Cup and still have plenty of done in last few rounds of the La Liga which can hurt their cause and also can bring down teams performance as well with they are already down and have no enough chances for the survival into both competition going to face team like Manchester United and having not solid strategy is surely the worst thing happened just like we have in Chelsea few months back.

Their performance in La Liga was also improving, but they lost heir patience after lost against Getafe so management done this big mistake and now most chances they will also face consequences for this as well in April when their team will be out of the Europa Cup.
