UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

[fullhdpixel]

Whether it's luck or not, because at the same time Sevilla's performance and position in the La Liga standings have also continued to improve for the better. Therefore, even though I also believe in the luck factor, but I also admit that Sevilla's performance has been slowly improving and Sevilla's recovery has come at the right time.

So yes, playing against Juventus will in fact still give Sevilla a chance to win, but that doesn't mean I consider Juventus weak because in fact Juventus' performance seems to be steadily declining. Thus, Juventus and Sevilla have a different trend where Juventus is becoming unstable, but Sevilla seems to be more consistent and stable in this moment.

Sevilla recent form is amazing and their performance against Manchester United in both matches were at the top of game which bring them into last four with most chances they can win from here because Juventus is having serious decline in their performance and their fight for the top four in Serie A is also having problem so with this we can expect tough situation for them even it's never been easy for any team but here most chances Sevilla is having good advantage specially after staying into relegation zone now they are at 11th with lost against Girona at home give them shock but right now they are capable of having recovery from this lost and fight hard for the final spot.

In recent time we have problems in Juventus which are clearly showing things are not favorable for them but still Sevilla and Juventus could be the toughest match with anybody can go through in this season we have good results from Italian sides which is also good for them.

The semifinal match is a very crucial match for each team because they will give their best so they can advance to the final. And of course the match will be very competitive because each team will try to perform as well as possible, but I also won't say that Sevilla will get lucky again against Juventus because Juventus also still have the strength to give Sevilla a fight. Although Sevilla is also not in a bad condition at the moment, what is clear is that Sevilla will play very carefully in the semifinals this time.

there is no doubt that in this European league all the teams that will compete in the semi-finals will definitely put out all their best performance to be able to continue to the final round. but from several teams such as Sevilla, Roma, Juventus and Leverkusen there is one team that in my opinion has weakened a little in the last few matches and is very bad in my opinion.
the team I mean is Juventus, which has decreased in performance and we can see from the last 3 matches that Juventus have only been able to win 1x, draw 1x and lose 1x. meanwhile, when Juventus won, it was as if they were lucky to be able to score 2 goals against Lecce in Serie A, which was not an impressive goal.

when compared to Sevilla it is actually more impressive and the performance shown in every match is very good and this is Sevilla's chance to be able to beat Juventus to advance to the final round.
but the rest we will never know which team really has the chance to qualify for the final round and win the title.

The main reason people think Sevilla is a strong team is they just see the results they get and they don't pay attention to the situation of the games they have,

People think that if how many trophies being collected by the team will always represent how strong that team is. I do know if sometime this can't be used as a benchmark but im thinking about this is still making sense to call the team was strong.
That proves how consistent the club in winning the competition, right? The fact that if sevilla is strong enough right now consider it has beaten so many candidates from another club.
I would not be surprised to see some people counted how many UEL trophies have been colected by sevilla as a thing that was also affecting the performance from the club.

for example, we know against Manchester United they had no chance and the reason why they won the game was just because of the personal mistakes in Manchester United defenders, otherwise, Sevilla could easily lose that games against Manchester United.

I do agree with this but it must be noted if sevilla won't use all of golden chances properly and i think that sevilla won't able to make a lot of scores against manchester united.
There are some things that contributed a lot to the lose of manchester united against sevilla. These things are

Personal mistake
Proper finishing
Stability of team

Sevilla has it all.

It seems you think Sevilla is going to win the match against Juventus next week, but I didn't think so, I think they can't have too much against Juventus this time and since Juventus got back the points they lost they have a better atmosphere in their team and Juventus is not going to make the same mistakes like Manchester United.
Also if Sevilla is a stable team and they good all they need, then why do they still have poor performance in La Liga?

Leverkusen have been on an insane run recently. They didn't get a loss in their last 14 official matches I mean. This is a really impressive performance from them considering how they started to this season actually. There is an incredible level of improvement thanks to Xabi Alonso's management. I think many people were doubtful about his first manager experience but he is doing a pretty good job at Leverkusen.

He saved Leverkusen from being under the danger of even relegating from the Bundesliga. They have put in a great effort into their Europa League matches so far as well. They have climbed to the 6th place in the Bundesliga maybe but it is too difficult for them to reach top 4 at the moment. Therefore Xabi Alonso wants this title here.

This is why I think Roma will need to be extra careful this time. Because Leverkusen are a candidate to be a bigger challenge for them.

Xabi Alonso's magic have great impact on Bayer Leverkusen, and they are on amazing run with 14 games without lost mean they achieved their best before having any worst in early half of this season they were in relegation zone with no chance for survival, but suddenly change of coach bring amazing success run now they are at the sixth spot with most chances they will end at this spot because top teams having better distance and chance for the staying at the top but still this is good end for them with spot into UEFA Europa Cup semifinal and ended at fifth or sixth is never been bad for the team which was struggling badly.

Now we have Roma which is struggling into Serie A but their Europa Cup record is much better so here both are at same level, but first leg match could be vital for the both teams which will have advantage then surely this team could be in advantage for the qualification, but prediction is not easy as quality level is at the top.

[rendravolt]

I think this season Sevilla was very lucky to defeat Manchester United . Manchester United have done well in their performance this season,  Sevilla was just lucky that the time they met with Manchester united , Manchester United was in their worst state , some players were on injuries and other mistakes that led to the defeat of Manchester United.

The main reason people think Sevilla is a strong team is they just see the results they get and they don't pay attention to the situation of the games they have, for example, we know against Manchester United they had no chance and the reason why they won the game was just because of the personal mistakes in Manchester United defenders, otherwise, Sevilla could easily lose that games against Manchester United.

I think that series was purely based on luck for them, that is a very fun situation to be in and definitely something I did not expected. United fans must be incredibly angry at it but between mistakes by maguire and de gea on second game, and own goals at the first game, it wasn't really Sevilla that won the game, they did nearly nothing, they just took advantage of the situation, they may have failed to do that too, but they didn't, that's their only achievement.

United was the who lost that series and definitely looks to be a very tough deal. Sevilla is not a great team just because they won against United, that was lucky, I think they are doing alright, and they will keep on doing alright, but they may fail to win the cup, they won't get lucky like that again.

From the start, Manchester United's pass rate was above 70%, but unfortunately unexpected things, such as a mistake that was feared to have occurred in the match against Sevilla, would not be surprising if Manchester United ended up being eliminated due to bad luck. Maybe if the Red Devils appear with their usual defense led by Martinez and Varane then there will be no doubt about winning the two legs.

But indeed time cannot be turned back and Manchester United must try again starting next season, but if they manage to finish in 4th position until the end of the season in the domestic league, then they will not be in the European league again. This time I totally agree with you that Sevilla this season is very lucky to qualify for the semifinals and I think if they still hope for the same luck against Juventus later, I think they will be eliminated.

People think Xabi Alonso is the reason for Bayer Leverkusen they have good performances in Europa League and Bundesliga, this team could even beat Bayern Munich a few weeks ago in Bundesliga and to be honest, I couldn't expect to see Leverkusen getting these results they get recently, I think if you continue this performance and based on the previous games they had, Leverkusen can beat Roma in Europa League.

So yes, playing against Juventus will in fact still give Sevilla a chance to win, but that doesn't mean I consider Juventus weak because in fact Juventus' performance seems to be steadily declining. Thus, Juventus and Sevilla have a different trend where Juventus is becoming unstable, but Sevilla seems to be more consistent and stable in this moment.

The conditions are still possible for both teams because regardless of anything the opportunity is still there.
The first leg Juventus will play at home is clearly favorable for them but with this in mind, I feel that Sevilla will still follow the same strategy by trying to draw the game and make a splash for the second leg at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan.

With Sevilla's current standing, it will be hard for Juventus to beat them at home easily and if I am to predict the match, I will say the percentage of Sevilla beating Juventus in the game is higher even though Juventus is playing at home.

But then this is football it predictions can be hard to do and at that, we must have to wait for the clubs to play out the time but my judgement is based on SSevilla'scurrent games trends and they have done well above Juventus in recent games.

One of the great things I see about Roma is that there are no great players to accompany Paulo Dybala. I think that if this team adds two more players who will play great matches with Paulo Dybala, then I think that Roma team will become one of the strongest teams.

Bayern leverkusen was actually changing into the new form when xabi was coming to the club. Xabi has been changed the play style from the club. he was also making the club to adopt the playstyle from spanish club as well that used tiki taka as the main strategy.
It's very hard to accept the truth but xabi is the main reason why bayern leverkusen was able performing so well like this time. I don't even think if bayern leverkusen will achieve this stage without xabi on its side.
So many clubs were also hunting his signature in summer. Xabi is such a good guy. He was able transforming the mediocre club in less than a half of season. His impact is really big for the club.
Im feeling so confidence with leverkusen rather than roma.

There is no doubt that the Sevilla team is very lucky. Their performance in the first leg against Manchester United was not good. Sevilla's players could not even score a goal. However, the match was a draw. The Juventus team may not be weak. Even so, it cannot be said that Sevilla is in a worse position than Juventus right now. The match will surely be very competitive. However, Juventus may not be able to qualify for the final if they fail to win the first leg.

The semifinal match is a very crucial match for each team because they will give their best so they can advance to the final. And of course the match will be very competitive because each team will try to perform as well as possible, but I also won't say that Sevilla will get lucky again against Juventus because Juventus also still have the strength to give Sevilla a fight. Although Sevilla is also not in a bad condition at the moment, what is clear is that Sevilla will play very carefully in the semifinals this time.

Whether it's luck or not, because at the same time Sevilla's performance and position in the La Liga standings have also continued to improve for the better. Therefore, even though I also believe in the luck factor, but I also admit that Sevilla's performance has been slowly improving and Sevilla's recovery has come at the right time.

Thus, Juventus and Sevilla have a different trend where Juventus is becoming unstable, but Sevilla seems to be more consistent and stable in this moment.

I don't think Sevilla eliminating Manchester United from europa league was by luck, Sevilla have always been difficult to Manchester United  and very interesting in the Europa League.  Juventus meeting with Sevilla will be  another interesting game,  and if Juventus is not careful with our  they play their game Sevilla will have advantage of them. This season Juventus are not very stable in their games , sometimes their performance can be unstable.

Erik Ten Hag should have already know the record of Manchester United not winning Sevilla before especially the fixtures they've met previously in the Champions League and Europa League.
Manchester United literally got knocked out as a result of Erik Ten Hag's fault, winning the game and you brought in player to attack more when he should have brought in players to help defend the game. Martial was a vitall player for United that night.

Sevilla deserves the winning because they deserves it, David De Gea and Harry Maguire was part of the second fixture that witness both of those player's playing badly.

Im feeling so confidence with leverkusen rather than roma.

After nearly eight months of coaching Leverkusen, Alonso managed to lift his team from the second-bottom position to 6th in the Bundesliga standings. He also managed to put his team in the semi-finals of the Europa League after impressing in the knockout stage.

Now he is in the spotlight because of his pretty good performance. Interestingly, in the semi-finals, Xabi will face his former boss, Jose Mourinho, who also managed to bring AS Roma to appear in the last four of the Europa League. The match between Roma and Bayern Leverkusen is a match that will get the attention of many people and also because of the meeting of Jose Mourinho and Xabi Alonso of course.

The conditions are still possible for both teams because regardless of anything the opportunity is still there.
The first leg Juventus will play at home is clearly favorable for them but with this in mind I feel that Sevilla will still follow the same strategy by trying to draw the game and make a splash for the second leg at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan.

Juventus has been favored to win in the first leg but i think that this prediction is actually make sense at this moment. It's caused by juventus had good record against sevilla. Juventus had no problem occured when it will be facing sevilla. The only problem if the performance from juventus in serie a makes me feel doubtful if juventus will be winning easily against sevilla soon. Juventus is trying so hard to bring back its best performance again before it will be facing sevilla which can be considered as one of strongest team in europa league.
Allegri puts very big hope for its squad to win the first leg against sevilla. Juventus and sevilla has ever met before and juventus was winning the game against sevilla.
Sevilla is now coming with a new coach that will implement different strategy. Allegri must be careful with sevilla at this moment caused by it was able making a golden moment anytime.

[hahay]

It looks like luck can still be obtained by Milan in the home match against Cremonese, because Milan trailed 0-1 in 77 minutes and Milan was just able to score a goal in +90 minutes or before the match ended. Meanwhile, if we consider the quality of Milan playing at home against Cremonese which is in the relegation zone, then Milan should have been able to win with a good score or Milan could have won from half time, but what happened was that Milan almost lost.

But the rival team won by a very great score, because even though Inter played away against a better team than Cremonese. But Inter can beat Verona even with a score of 0-6, so with a result like this, is it a sign that Inter can beat Milan in the semifinals of the Champions League too. But apart from that, Milan still has the chance to finish in the top four and of course with certain scenarios.

On paper, Juventus are the main favorites in this match and that is clear after Sevilla can't perform well in La Liga, but what will be difficult to predict in this match is when Sevilla can perform well in the Europa League. A tough task is definitely in front of Juventus, don't let them underestimate the club that will be their opponent in this semifinal, because if they underestimate it too much then they will be defeated by the Spanish club. But I believe, Juventus is not a club that will underestimate its opponents, they are a big club that is more experienced at the European level.

One of the great things I see about Roma is that there are no great players to accompany Paulo Dybala. I think that if this team adds two more players who will play great matches with Paulo Dybala, then I think that Roma team will become one of the strongest teams.

If this strategy is implement, the Roma midfield will feel empty because several player have to accompany Paulo Dybala on the front lines. We know that especially in the Europa League, Jose Mourinho tends to focus on press opponents starting from the midfield, Roma players are free to move with this strategy and it seems successful with Roma's success in enter the semifinals of the Europa League.
I much prefer to see what Jose Mourinho is doing for AS Roma at the moment

The match between Roma and Bayern Leverkusen is a match that will get the attention of many people and also because of the meeting of Jose Mourinho and Xabi Alonso of course.

Leverkusen's success in reaching the Europa League semi-finals this season has come as a shock, but they really were in for it. Leverkusen have a lot of dangerous players who will threaten Roma's chances of making it to the final, so Mourinho will have to anticipate whatever mistakes his team make so they can win the match.

I'm sure Rome is better, but Leverkusen can't be underestimated. I remember Frankfurt (Germany) doing very well last season, so I think Leverkusen can do it too. The first leg is played at the Stadio Olimpico, so it should be an advantage that Roma can take advantage of. There is still plenty of time for preparation, both teams are focused on finding the best solution because it seems that both of them are very ambitious to qualify for the final and win the Europa League title this season.

Sevilla deserves the winning because they deserves it, David De Gea and Harry Maguire was part of the second fixture that witness both of those player's playing badly.

Even if Erik Ten Hag might have been aware of Manchester United's history versus Sevilla managers always have to make judgement calls based on the current circumstances. It is impossible to say whether Martial presence would have affected the outcome of the match and it would be unfair to put the defeat entirely on De Gea and Maguire. Football is a team sport thus mistakes by one player might occur at any time. It is crucial to give Sevilla credit for their triumph because they ultimately prevailed because they performed better on the day. Focusing on how United can improve for next matches by learning from their mistakes is more beneficial than placing blame.

[KTChampions]

Juventus has been favored to win in the first leg but i think that this prediction is actually make sense at this moment. It's caused by juventus had good record against sevilla. Juventus had no problem occured when it will be facing sevilla. The only problem if the performance from juventus in serie a makes me feel doubtful if juventus will be winning easily against sevilla soon. Juventus is trying so hard to bring back its best performance again before it will be facing sevilla which can be considered as one of strongest team in europa league.
Allegri puts very big hope for its squad to win the first leg against sevilla. Juventus and sevilla has ever met before and juventus was winning the game against sevilla.
Sevilla is now coming with a new coach that will implement different strategy. Allegri must be careful with sevilla at this moment caused by it was able making a golden moment anytime.

Doubtful. It seems to me that Sevilla is the weakest participant of all remaining and the bookmakers agree with me. Despite their recent successful streak, Sevilla lost the last game to Girona and are now close to defeat in the game with Espanyol (1-2 after the first half). This suggests that nothing has fundamentally changed in the team and Juventus will have to beat them without any problems.

[sana54210]

Sevilla recent form is amazing and their performance against Manchester United in both matches were at the top of game which bring them into last four with most chances they can win from here because Juventus is having serious decline in their performance and their fight for the top four in Serie A is also having problem so with this we can expect tough situation for them even it's never been easy for any team but here most chances Sevilla is having good advantage specially after staying into relegation zone now they are at 11th with lost against Girona at home give them shock but right now they are capable of having recovery from this lost and fight hard for the final spot.

In recent time we have problems in Juventus which are clearly showing things are not favorable for them but still Sevilla and Juventus could be the toughest match with anybody can go through in this season we have good results from Italian sides which is also good for them.

Juventus could make a comeback against Sevilla too, we need to keep that in mind. Juventus is not a bad team, they are a good team going through a rough period right now, and that happens, so they could keep being bad and lose to Sevilla as well, which is possible, or they could stop being bad and start winning again and beat Sevilla as well, which is possible.

We are not sure which is going to be the case, I still think Juventus has the better roster and they will end up winning, they are doing as well as hoped for and when considered where they are going to end the season, third in serie A seems like a better deal than wherever Sevilla ends up in la liga, so we can consider Juventus as the better team, shouldn't really be considered too bad.
