There were UEFA Europa League 3nd Qualifying Round 1nd leg match today. First of all, congratulations to Fenerbahçe. Fenerbahçe got a easy win. Their opponents were very weak, not at their level. Fenerbahçe won the match 3-0. Sivasspor will play in the next round. I hope both Sivasspor and Fenerbahce go to the group stage.

I believe this year's Europa league trophy belongs to hungry Arsenal who are ready to do anything possible to win that tittle.The gunners were able to qualify for the league after they fought it so hard to be in the champions league and they lost their place to their rivals Totthenham.
The team is a very young team that are sure of winning tittles this season after Mikel Arteta upgraded the squad with some new faces who will help the team win tittle,and qualify for champions league next season.

Fenerbahçe's opponent was very weak, another result couldn't be expected. It was normal for them to win differently. They could have scored more goals, especially after Slovacko remained 10 players, it was expected that the match would go to very different scores, but they got only 3 goals.
The new signing Lincoln turned out very well. He scored 2 goals and made 1 assist. I didn't expect him to make such a contribution. If he spreads this performance to the whole season, it will be like hitting the lottery for Fenerbahçe.

You mentioned the plural "titles". I doubt that Arsenal is already in a position to take home several trophies at once. It seems that there is a good chance to go for the Europa League although it is not like they would easily beat Manchester United for example. It isn't looking bad for them on paper, But Roma or Lazio are definitely also able to win against them. Also, keep in mind that some teams from the Champions League will also join the pool later on. Could also be some heavy weights.

Fenerbahçe is now playing a relaxed game as they won the first match. Still, they should have defeated such a weak opponent in this match, but after taking the lead, they conceded the equalizer. This match shows the weaknesses in defense. They lost concentration because the tour was passed in their minds. Normally, the match should have ended with a clean sheet. Serdar Dursun scored, but he would not be the first striker of the team. They are also making new transfers, there is also Joshua King. Fenerbahçe has a strange manager mentality. Let's see what they do next round.

The Fenerbahce team needs to be motivated and I believe their coach has a lot of work to do either to sign a very good defender to strengthen the defense line or work on the form of his defenders. It was a game they were supposed to have win easily as their opponent Slovacko didn't put up a good performance in the game. Fenerbahce lost control of the game after scoring their goal in the 56th minute of play I think they were tired and couldn't hold on to the game and the goal was finally equalized in the 58th minute and eventually ended as a draw, this is still applicable to Fenerbahce's opening league game that they drew 3:3 because of poor defense and lack of winning mentality in the team.

I believe this year's Europa league trophy belongs to hungry Arsenal...

It is arsenal's no doubt, we should have been in the champions League just as you said if not for some incompleteness in our squad, now Arteta is looking like he has fixed it with the introduction of some new key players, the champions League is Arsenal's destination... the Europa League is a journey going there. If we are not plagued by injuries again this season, Arsenal's only competition may be Manchester United if they pick up performance.

[ingiltere]

That was an easy tour for Helsinki, Fenerbahçe and Zürich. The real games are now in play-off stage. They are win or go home games and better teams will play with each other. Fenerbahçe should pass Austria Wien under normal circumstances. It won't be like Slovacko match-up though, they need to be better prepared. People don't criticize them after today's game but you can't play like that against more quality teams. Jorge Jesus have to fix defensive problems and find their first striker. If every game different player get the jersey that won't affect team well. Players have to be ready but teams also have an ideal starting lineup.

I still don't believe the Europa League trophy will go to Arsenal. because the 2022/2023 Europa League season will be very exciting. there will be fierce competition between Manchester United and AS Roma coached by Jose Mourinho. That is, even though UEFA's status is a second-level competition on the blue continent, the event will still present an interesting competition because there are several elite European teams competing in the group phase.

[Zackgeno96]

AZ will also easily win 6-0. There were a few exciting matches but in most of them the difference in level was quite obvious. But teams that have won now have to survive another round. I know that the draw is already known but I don't know exactly who is playing against whom. I don't like looking at it as much as I used to. In the past you just had the right Knock out system and now you have group stage. Then you have a lot more chances to get through, but there is much less tension in the matches. I suspect it will be mostly commercial. More matches equals more revenue.

[Gencecikmen]

There were UEFA Europa League 3nd Qualifying Round 2nd leg match tonight. That was an easy tour for Fenerbahçe. Fenerbahce drew 1-1 with Slovacko. Fenerbahce will play play-off matches with Austria Wien. Fenerbahçe should pass Austria Wien. But Fenerbahce is unpredictable.

@Lordhermes if they come against Roma then they’ll definitely perish, because Mourinho is a serial winner and Arteta side yet doesn’t have the experience of winning a big trophy hence too early to predict for Arsenal’s success. @zaki12 I’m not sure if Manchester United is a opponent to be feared, because if they play McFred and perform like their opening game then they’ll be easily beaten, but I’m sincerely hoping that they can transform themselves quickly and then compete for all the trophies.

Congrats to Fenerbahçe on their victory right before play-off round. I wasn't expecting them to have big problems against a weak team like Slovacko anyway. This time their opponent is going to be Austria Wien which is a stronger one. But Fenerbahçe should be able to eliminate them as well without having a serious problem. I already see them in the group stage in short. After that I hope they get lucky about the draw for groups as well. They have a really nice history in this tournament like playing against Benfica in the semi-final. Maybe they would be successful again.

[ingiltere]

I have to say I'm not very hopeful for Turkish teams playing in Europa League today. Sivasspor's job is too hard, they will play with Malmö in Sweden. When I watched Sivasspor's Super Cup game I gave them their point, they were ridiculously bad. And that match was only three weeks ago. I don't think they have significant improvement in the team. Rıza Çalımbay don't have a magic stick in his hands. This team is bad. They have only one point in two league matches. Sadly I'm expecting a clear Malmö win today.
On the other hand Fenerbahçe is favorite in Wien. Austria Wien started their local league very bad and only got one win and one draw in first four games. They also started with minus three points so now they are in the last position with only one point. There is a big difference between these two clubs. Austria Wien's best player valued less than Fenerbahçe's one of reserved players wage. Even though there is a huge difference, odds are still high enough for Fenerbahçe, that means bookmakers also don't make them heavy favorite. Another reason for this is Fenerbahçe's unbalanced results, there is no stability. Think about Ümraniyespor and Slovacko games again, I couldn't trust them either.

Past 4 years in a row, Europa league has been won by teams that started their Europa campaign from the group stages itself. Teams being Chelsea(18-19), Sevilla (19-20), Villarreal(20-21), Frankfurt (21-22). The last 3 of them were against opponents that had joined Europa from the champions league but couldnt manage to win it all. All of the games were close though so, this could be a toss up again. With the introduction to Conference league, Europa league seems to have gotten a bit stronger and more prestigious.

[swogerino]

I won many bets on last Thursday but today I am not going to bet as the bet I thought to be the safest failed me,Partizan Belgrade did not manage to qualify further against a team weaker than them.Still today quite some games that we surely can make some money if we bet on the teams who are clearly superior to their opponents.Maybe I am going to just place a single bet tonight and not as many as I did last Thursday,the one who looks the easiest to be a win is if I bet on Ferencvarosh game as Shamrock is not a strong opponent for them.

[DU18]

There were UEFA Europa League 3nd Qualifying Round 2nd leg match tonight. That was an easy tour for Fenerbahçe. Fenerbahce drew 1-1 with Slovacko. Fenerbahce will play play-off matches with Austria Wien. Fenerbahçe should pass Austria Wien. But Fenerbahce is unpredictable.

Both teams are currently in the final stages of securing a place in the group fase Europa League this season, Austria Wien and Fenerbache will of course be a fierce match today, because even though Fenerbache are superior on paper in terms of player quality but Austria Wien clearly don't want to miss the opportunity to be able to play in the european league this season, Austria Wien is currently in high confidence moreover they will play at home and try to maintain their winning streak at home.

[Gencecikmen]

There are UEFA Europa League Play-off 1nd leg matches tonight. Sivasspor will face Malmö. Sivasspor's starting XI against Malmö: Muammer; Robin, Goutas, Caner, Uğur; Hakan, Ulvestad; Erdoğan, Kerem Atakan, Gradel; James. Malmö's starting XI against Sivasspor: Dahlin; Beijmo, Nielsen, Hadzikadunic, Moisander, Ceesay; Christiansen, Rakip, Zeldan; Kiese Thelin, Birmancevic.

Also Fenerbahçe will face Austria Wien. I hope Sivasspor and Fenerbahçe gets an advantageous score at tonight.

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

Fenerbahçe defeated Austria Vien by a clear score. I guess we can say they passed the round. Because there is a very serious power difference between the two teams. Also Fenerbahçe played with the 3-4-3 system in this match. Lemos re-entered the squad after a long break and played well. Fernerbahçe's striker Serdar Dursun also played very well. He scored one goal and created many chances for his teammates. The return match will be played in Istanbul. I think Fenerbahçe have already won the next round.
