UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

[Leviathan.007]

If Roma get to the finals, I will bet fully that Roma will win against whichever team they face. The special one has been in the finals of many competitions as coach of the underdog team but somehow with his brilliant coaching tactics, he does the job even if not cleanly, but he does the Job. I will like to see Roma win the Europa for the sake of the coach, the players and the supporters of the club who have believed in them.

It looks good that AS Roma will play in the final, they won their first game. With 1-0 it is not high, but the current position is good to play tactical defensive in game two, they are good at that. Similar to the Champions League, an Italian team will be in the final, or we can say, the chance is very high. Juventus play only a drew, but there chance is 50/50. A final between AS Roma and Juventus Turin is something special for a player, he hopes a lot: Paulo Dybala. He wants to win again against his last club. In March there was a match in Serie A between the two and Roma won 1:0.

Roma have the advantage with this aggregate 1 score, even so, Leverkusen in the second leg may will be more serious to winning and reaching the final, so Roma still have to be wary of with Leverkusen movements in the second leg. Yes Sir similar to the Champions League, the Italian team this season is very good but it will be very interesting indeed, if Juventus and Roma can be in the final. It will lift the spirits of other Italian teams in Serie A, to be more consistent next season.

The performance of both teams in this match was very much near for both teams and the only difference between these two teams was the goal scored by Roma in that game, other than this Leverjusen even had the chance to score a goal this game but they couldn't use the goal opportunities they got, otherwise, we could see another result in this game.

Juventus had the opportunity to score several times, but failed to strike in the completion. I think Sevilla is a light favorite with this standings, since Sevilla can play at home next week and then they are the favorite at home, but it will probably not be much different from each other. For Sevilla also the only way to save the season, as they no longer have a chance to qualify in the competition. As a coach, Mourinho has not been lied to by many people, but it is great that he has taken a 1-0 lead with AS Roma over liver cushions. They have not achieved much in the national competition either, so the EL also seems to be the only way to success to be.

[püsür]

The match between Sevilla and Juventus has been very competitive. In fact, Sevilla are playing better than the comparable Juventus at the moment. One of the reasons for this bad condition of Juventus is the coach of the team. Juventus needs to perform better as a team player.

For me, the Juventus vs Sevilla match was a very boring match. how come, the two teams played without a clear scheme. even both of them play aimlessly with a very chaotic game pattern. There were no interesting performances from the two teams, apart from showing spartan attacks without the rhythm of the game. I'm confused whether Juventus got carried away with Sevilla's game. or, their game pattern is just like that. so don't be surprised if in the second leg later, Sevilla has the potential to overthrow Juventus. I see Allegri not taking quick steps when his players are playing badly. especially their striker, Dusan Vlahovic, who played very underperformed. well after the 46th minute, he was pulled off the field and replaced by A.Milik. very lucky, in the end Juventus were able to equalize in the 90+ minute.

As for Sevilla, this team is more hardworking. unfortunately, I must say that they also played badly. To be honest, I didn't enjoy this fight. My previous estimate was that both teams would score. but I predict, Juventus will win the match. but the results, not as I predicted. in the second leg match later, I'm not sure Juventus can win the match against Sevilla.

Juventus seems more favourable in my opinion also in the second match but this is Sevilla, Europa League's magic team, so to speak. They are something else in the EL always, I can't figure out why. The referee did not give a very clear penalty to Juventus. Sevilla's defense and goalkeeper keep the team in the race. Otherwise they don't have any great performances actually. I want to mention Pogba too. The best midfielder in the world when it's Pogba's day. He is a player who can do anything he wants on the field, but there are very rare matches in his day and he became extremely chronically injured. A career that is a real shame considering the level his career could potentially reach. Overall, Juventus seems like the advantageous team but the opponent is Sevilla. Sevilla can do remarkable things in the EL, as before.

Actually, I expected the Juventus vs Sevilla match to end in a draw for the first leg. But I only think about the home advantage for Juventus which made it possible for them to win, but unfortunately Sevilla put up a very good fight and defended strongly until the end.

But right now, I think Sevilla are deservedly favorites to win the second leg which will take place at their home ground. They are quite good at home which makes the team's confidence even better. The support from the fans was incredible, it would be even greater than the atmosphere when Sevilla beat Manchester United 3-0.

A draw is good enough for Sevilla because they played well at home to their opponents which made them more confident when playing at home. Sevilla played more impressively in the first leg they were able to silence the Juventus public after they scored an early goal but unfortunately they could not maintain that advantage because Juventus could equalize in the second half.

for juventus they need to be better prepared for the second leg later, and hope they can make a miracle in the europa league this season. Juventus still have hope of reaching the final and they must maximize this hope as best they can for the second leg later. The Europa League is Juventus only hope for a trophy this season and this will all determine their fate in the second leg.

I expected a draw in these games but it ended up with only a correct prediction.
Sevilla was leading with one goal almost all the game then they missed the victory with a late goal scored by Juventus in the last minute of the match.
For Roma, they were able to win but with a single goal. Next time they will play away in Germany and Leverkusen might comeback. Face to face in Rome, Roma had the advantage while drawing vs them away.

Roma have captured an important advantage in the round by getting a 1-0 win over Leverkusen indeed. Bove is a 20-year-old midfielder who was the scorer of that goal in this game as well. This must have been a special moment for him and he scored his 2nd goal in the season by this one as well. This goal is going to be very valuable for Roma in the second leg.

Because it is already not easy to eliminate Leverkusen for them. They will need this score advantage in Germany but it feels like this matchup won't end in regular time anyway.

This advantage is quite good considering that Roma also always do with a small actual score but their current problem is clearly still not safe because even though they currently have a goal deficit advantage, they will still be a little difficult now for Leg 2 especially now it is Leverkusen's turn to host them and of course we know that the statistics for Leverkusen when Leg 2 they always look better.

Bove career has been lifted up a lot in a last three seasons. He debuted with Roma three seasons ago but even in the last summer, he was in a deal for a loan but at the end, Mourinho decided to keep Bove in Roma. The rest is history and he has become a new icon in Roma after Francesco Totti and Daniele De Rossi as well as Lorenzo Pellegrini, their current captain.

Because it is already not easy to eliminate Leverkusen for them. They will need this score advantage in Germany but it feels like this matchup won't end in regular time anyway.

At least with a minimal win at home, Roma will have a little bit easier match in Germany. They will have more reasons to play very defensive against Leverkusen and this approach is very favorite by Mourinho. It will help Roma opens more chances for counter attacking in a second leg but the key for them is keeping their goal is clean in a first half. If they get a conceded goal too early in Germany, they will be under big pressure from Leverkusen.

Juventus seems more favourable in my opinion also in the second match but this is Sevilla, Europa League's magic team, so to speak. They are something else in the EL always, I can't figure out why.

Juventus will have to play with big pressure in a second leg but at least with a very late equalizer in a first leg, they created a better chance for themselves in a second leg. If they had lost in a first leg, they would have been in bigger troubles in a second leg match.

I want to mention Pogba too. The best midfielder in the world when it's Pogba's day. He is a player who can do anything he wants on the field, but there are very rare matches in his day and he became extremely chronically injured. A career that is a real shame considering the level his career could potentially reach.

Pogba has never reached to his best ability because of his rudeness and arrogance. He made me think of some players like Antonio Cassano, Mario Balotelli who are not professional with their careers and Pogba is stepping in a same way.

A best midfielder should be a player who can bring quality and world-class contribution for his club even he is not in a best day. Pogba is not a player like that and his contribution solely depends on his emotion.

[JeffBrad12]

I also doubt that Juventus will be able to handle Sevilla well in the second leg even though in the first leg Juventus managed to equalize by winning a draw. Because Sevilla will definitely play even stronger in the second leg which will take place at their own cage, but Juventus can also give their best performance in the second leg if they are able to surprise better in the second leg because in general both of them still have the same chance to win the match in the second leg.

Seeing the result from the first leg is more than enough to determine the result from the second leg. Juventus could not win against sevilla even when it was playing at home but what about when juventus will be playing away? That means if juventus faces very hard situation. Sevilla has always been winning with huge scores against its opponent at home. It will be another disaster for juventus to win against sevilla away.

Im feeling very skeptical about that and in my opinion if juventus has very small chance at this moment to be qualified for final. Sevilla will be more even crazy against juventus in the second. Based on the result from the first leg and my choice is picking sevilla as the winner for this match. The gap in the first leg is very big. Vlahovic can do nothing to save juventus from the draw or lose.

it must be noted as long as juventus will repeat the same performance again and i would say that the chance is disappearing for juventus to got o the final to face roma or leverkusen.

Because it is already not easy to eliminate Leverkusen for them. They will need this score advantage in Germany but it feels like this matchup won't end in regular time anyway.

as I predicted earlier that Rome will be superior compared to Leverkusen. what we can see in yesterday's game is that Roma dominated the match and from the ball possession side Roma were superior and finally scored 1 which could bring Roma's chance to qualify for the final round.
Rome has already pocketed an aggregate score of 1 and it is not that difficult to qualify for the final round. what Rome needs to do is only have 1 score superior enough to qualify for the final round.

in the semi-finals of the European league, this is very interesting for me because Sevilla vs Juventus and Roma vs Leverkusen have a very thin score difference and several of these teams reinforce each other's performances and strategies that will be able to bring this team through to the final round.
I admit that it is very good that Juventus in this semi-final can even the score until the end of the game.

[Strongkored]

for juventus they need to be better prepared for the second leg later, and hope they can make a miracle in the europa league this season. Juventus still have hope of reaching the final and they must maximize this hope as best they can for the second leg later. The Europa League is Juventus only hope for a trophy this season and this will all determine their fate in the second leg.

I quite doubt that Juventus can do better in the second match not only because they have to face Sevilla as an away game also Sevilla who managed to hold a draw in the first match will maximize their advantage playing at home by attacking and scoring goals and if they can win even if only by 1- 0 alone is enough to bring them to the final because they win on aggregate goals. Juventus have wasted their best chance in the first match and that's because Juve are always difficult to score goals, we can see how Juve often only score 1-2 goals in league matches and it's not much different from the European league.

Sevilla must be very happy with the results of the first match and even though they didn't control the match they had a good chance at that time, and the second match they will be more comfortable to beat Juve but they have to be able to break through the Juventus defense who are pretty good in every game and that's the key why Juve can to the semi-finals of the European league.

Sevilla doesn't have any chance in LaLiga so getting to the final and being the champion will be the only hope to end the season with title as well as the other 3 teams in this competition, they have no chance in the domestic league so fighting for the championship will be being the last hope of these 4 clubs ending the season with at least one title.

[Sebas.tian]

Of course, Mourinho won't let them lose, Roma will struggle enough in Serie A, and they will target the Europa League trophy at this time. Mourinho knows exactly what he has to do for it all.

If Roma get to the finals, I will bet fully that Roma will win against whichever team they face. The special one has been in the finals of many competitions as coach of the underdog team but somehow with his brilliant coaching tactics, he does the job even if not cleanly, but he does the Job. I will like to see Roma win the Europa for the sake of the coach, the players and the supporters of the club who have believed in them.

I don't think, Roma can win this Europa league title because Manchester city will never allow such mistake that will make Roma to embrace this title to come through in this season than to use their new tactics to create more opportunity that will give them victory at the end of the tournament. Despite, Roma defeated Leverkusen 1-0 in their home doesn't mean Roma are strong to win this Europa league title, because Leverkusen will definitely make the match difficult for Roma in their second leg and Leverkusen will like to use home advantage to equalize the goal and still achieve victory at the end of the match to eliminate Roma from the competition. And there is a hope for Manchester city to defeat Real Madrid in their second leg because they are good in using home advantage to embrace victory which they will definitely make it happen.

Roma's position in this league in Syria is not good. Despite performing well in other leagues, Roma are not doing particularly well in this league. The Roma squad has some serious problems, one of which is the need to add some new players to the squad.

Juventus could not win against sevilla even when it was playing at home but what about when juventus will be playing away? That means if juventus faces very hard situation. Sevilla has always been winning with huge scores against its opponent at home. It will be another disaster for juventus to win against sevilla away.

Juventus hasn't impressive record when playing away with winning one games against SC Freiburg on 16th round, I don't sure with Juventus has chance will lead to final stage because Sevilla has consistency performance with playing home actually success eliminated Manchester United 3-0 on quarter final. But any possibility for Juventus with 50% chance because draw on first leg still has chance although have to play in the front of Sevilla fans.

On the one hand, Juventus failed to take advantage of their home game to win in the first leg and had to perform even better in the second leg away to Sevilla. It doesn't seem like an easy thing, especially since Juventus' away record is not very good in the European League competition.

Yes Sir similar to the Champions League, the Italian team this season is very good but it will be very interesting indeed, if Juventus and Roma can be in the final. It will lift the spirits of other Italian teams in Serie A, to be more consistent next season.

This advantage is not completely safe for Rome, especially Leverkusen when they are at home they are far more attacking and so aggressive. Maybe this time Mourinho should strengthen his defense because otherwise they will concede so many goals in the second leg. However, the defensive strategy was not fully able to anticipate the possibilities, Rome also had to appear to attack even though they were already superior.

I think the second leg will be very important for both teams to fight for a place in the European league final. Regarding the Italian team which is currently dominating European competition, this is definitely a good thing and I hope that even next season they must make it to this round and don't lose to either the English or Spanish teams.

Before the first match between Roma and Bayer Leverkusen kicked off, I predicted a very tight game between them and unsurprisingly there was just one goal in the game. Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen have to win the second leg of the tie with a bigger margin that the first leg in order to qualify for the the final which I don't see it happening.

Jose Mourinho is a manager that knows how to play defensive football and if his Roma side happens to score first in the second leg, then it'll be very hard for Leverkusen to score a goal talk more of two because he's going to park the bus. I'm predicting a Roma qualification to the final.

Yes, even though they have won 1-0 in leg 1, Rome's chances are still not necessarily safe. But for the second leg I really hope that Mourinho doesn't immediately play his favorite strategy, which is total defense because if he does that it will really endanger his team. Bayern Leverkusen will take advantage of the momentum because it will get the full support of its fans. Xabi Alonso's troops will certainly play it all out to catch up on the goal deficit and target victory to qualify for the final. Despite his lack of experience, Alonso is certainly very familiar with the strategy played by his former boss. I predict the 2nd leg match will be tougher and more thrilling than the 1st leg.

In my opinion this is correct and the 1-0 doesn't change much here. It is as likely that Roma wins 1-0 at home as it is that Leverkusen does the same. Leverkusen didn't play bad in Rome, they just didn't use their chances in the first half and got punished for that by Roma in the second half. Mourinho doesn't think even for a second that his team now has an advantage. They just did what they had to do as the home team. That is why in the Champions League Real Madrid knows that the tie against Manchester City was not optimal. I think that Leverkusen will turn this around. I can imagine how motivated they are and that the young, fresh coach Alonso will find the right words.

[shinratensei_]

Yes Sir similar to the Champions League, the Italian team this season is very good but it will be very interesting indeed, if Juventus and Roma can be in the final. It will lift the spirits of other Italian teams in Serie A, to be more consistent next season.

Winning 1-0 against leverkusen at home still means nothing for me. Roma shall always be careful with leverkusen when it will be playing away. Leverkusen has very good statistic when it was playing at home since xabi was taking the job as a new manager for leverkusen.
Mourinho was able predicting the strategy that used by leverkusen in the first leg. I think that if xabi will be more careful with as roma after its club was losing against as roma. It seems like that roma has equal performance compared with leverkusen.
Leverkusen may need to win with two goals or more at home. It will be a hard job for xabi to win against its teacher in the past. The battle between student vs teacher is always very interesting match to be watched.

As roma must be fully defensive when it will be playing away for the second leg. Mourinho must think about counter attack strategy to beat leverkusen away.
Roma was able winning the first leg even though it was not playing with the best squad.

I think an aggregate advantage of 1 goal over Leverkusen has not been able to secure them in the second leg match. In the first leg, maybe AS Roma had more chances compared to Leverkusen, but they could still make it difficult for AS Roma and they could even put up a tough fight to make it difficult for AS Roma to win. AS Roma only needed a draw to get their two feet in the final, but it was not an easy task to keep their goal from conceding.

Seeing the result from the first leg is more than enough to determine the result from the second leg. Juventus could not win against sevilla even when it was playing at home but what about when juventus will be playing away? That means if juventus faces very hard situation.

On the one hand, Juventus failed to take advantage of their home game to win in the first leg and had to perform even better in the second leg away to Sevilla. It doesn't seem like an easy thing, especially since Juventus' away record is not very good in the European League competition.

The predictions of many people regarding Sevilla really happened, before this first leg match many said that Juventus had to be careful with Sevilla, because even though they were not the main favorites they could do everything to make them win the game. This situation is the same as when they beat Manchester United. They can hold Mamnchester United to a draw in the first leg and in the second they can beat it and eliminate one of the favorites in the Europa League this season. The second leg they will play a home game, and at home Sevilla is a strong team to beat the opponent.
