UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

[klidex]

A few hours ago I saw on the UEFA website they uploaded an interesting video about 2020 when these two teams faced each other in the Europa League and history says Sevill is going to win this game:
https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/history/video/0281-181506c81b02-479a29ea3043-1000--sevilla-vs-roma-see-what-happened-in-2020/
But regarding Roma, they have a high chance because of their famous coach.

History will always be a reference for superior teams to be able to win the European league title, moreover Sevilla does have the most history regarding this competition. Maybe Roma this time can be said to be newcomers because they have competed more often in the champions league, but as most people know, Rome has Mourinho who is reliable in carrying out strategic tactics and the percentage of wins in the final is indeed very large. We will still be curious about who will lift the European league trophy this season because history alone is not enough to produce results at the end of the game.

Experience will not guarantee victory, even AS Roma also has the potential to win this European league and for me, if AS Roma can beat Sevilla, it will be the pride of newcomers like AS Roma who are able to dominate or win the European league.
The closer to match day I become more certain AS Roma will win.

[RaltcoinsB]

I don't want to rush to say who will win, because I consider this match to be balanced for the two teams. It is possible that the way they reached this final, Sevilla is a very extraordinary team by eliminating Manchester United and Juventus, but they also finished the match in 2 legs. Whereas now there is only one match that will determine everything.

Jose mourinho has been facing sevilla so many times and i guess that just saw the previous match of sevilla will give a clue for the special one about the weakness spot that owned by sevilla at this moment. As roma can use the experience that owned by mourinho to win the game against sevilla. the chance becomes even higher since mourinho has ever being a coach for real madrid. He has been in la liga for several years in the past.
Im sure that if jose knew so well about the main characteristic from the spanish football.

Even mourinho didn't wanna try to see his club being favored candidate to win the trophy. it seems like that the match gonna be a very interesting match.
It will be coming next week. I'll be waiting for another trophy that will be won by mourinho and its club.

This will also continue the good record in his career.

Who isn't buzzing for the upcoming big match, huh? The Special One taking on Sevilla - feels like a footie thriller, right? Mourinho, our shining star, knows his way around Spanish turf from his Real Madrid days. Maybe this inside info is Roma's ace in the hole? But let's remember, Sevilla ain't some random team. They've shown their strength, crushing the dreams of Man Utd and Juventus. Though, with Roma not in top form, Mourinho's got his hands tied. Feels a bit like bringing a knife to a gunfight, yeah? The kicker here is, The Special One hasn't lost a final yet. This Portuguese stirrer always has a trick up his sleeve! Can he do it again? All I can say is, get your snacks sorted, cause this is gonna be one hell of a match!

I think this will be a tough and interesting game, Sevilla on one end have a good record competing in this competition, they have played 6 finals and won all 6 while Roma are influenced by an experienced winner who also has a good knowledge of winning finals but in my opinion I feel Sevilla have better chances in this game than Roma statistically, the end with justify who is better though.

Statistics may show Sevilla, but I think both teams can win the match. Roma has come this far with a very experienced coach. Jose Mourinho is a coach who knows very well where and how to apply tactics. Sevilla, on the other hand, is showing an incredible performance. Here are the teams they eliminated until they reach the final. Even overtime can be played for the winner of the match.

[emrecemsan]

Currently the odds for the finale are like this. Sevilla are slightly the favourite side in this match according to bookmakers. However it is very difficult to predict the probable winner of the title now. Both teams know how to play in critical matches in the Europa League right now. Maybe Mendilibar isn't as experienced as Mourinho with big teams but he has done a pretty good job so far on one hand. But here in this finale we should be seeing a great tactical war between these two managers.

About Dybala, I believe he is a game changer. You all know what he did in the Feyenoord matchup. He made his team come back to life with a critical goal in the rematch and they have reached this stage after that. Hence I hope we can see Mourinho preferring him in the starting eleven or in the second half at least.

[sana54210]

I think this match is more than just a final for a trophy. Sevilla and Rome also want to secure Champions League tickets through this route. So the match this time will be a very fierce battle to be able to get "two trophies" at once. Statistically it is clear that Sevilla is superior to Roma, not only that in terms of the quality of the Rojiblancos players are also slightly more qualified. The Spanish representative has also been able to prove his prowess when he was able to knock out other favorite teams such as Manchester United and Juventus. However, even so, Roma cannot be underestimated either, despite the poor squad. The Giallorossi also have great motivation to be able to achieve success in a row in Europe. Jose Mourinho will be a differentiator, he certainly has prepared the right strategy for his team.

One of them will, we know that. Which means that one of the teams who had been terrible at the league and not be as high as they would like to, could save their season and be at UCL next season, not could, one will. That alone is a great reason to follow up these, it's really going to end up with a great return without a doubt.

There are plenty of people who would like to see the situation as a lot worse, like "one team will lose it all" but I am a glass half full kind of guy and I would like to see it as "one team will get all they want" and that's amazing. Not only one of them will finish it with a cup, a very important cup, they will also be able to participate in UCL and earn so much money as well. Even the info that they will earn that much being guaranteed could get them so much more money to buy better players.

Refers to the odds available for these two teams. I guessed for a while that this final would go into extra time. yes, considering the style of play of these two teams. AS Roma with their defense, while Sevilla with their high intensity game. well, referring to what you said, in this match we will see what the scenarios of the two trainers are. So far, we have not been able to confirm the predicted line-up composition that will be applied from each team. but most likely, if Sevilla will not change the system they apply. however, there are different tactical scenarios.

On the contrary, I have doubts about what Jose Mourinho will do. but most likely, he will use a defensive system but with a counterattack strategy. we will see how Dybala plays a role in the final match later, can he bring his team to win a trophy. or Sevilla being able to topple AS Roma, like when they got rid of their opponents until they advanced to the final round, it's interesting for us to wait for.

[Leviathan.007]

I think so too, I'm not concerned about what strategy they will apply, because it's free for them to do. It's just that what I want to say here is what their chances are when they do a total defense. It's a final game, although I understand maybe they're going for shootouts and such. But they must try to venture out to end the match in 90 minutes.
Actually AS Roma has the ability to do that, it's just that it depends on how the coach wants it, whether he wants to play defensively or play openly to finish the game in normal time.

What I don't understand about Mourinho is why he doesn't let Dybala get more play time. He only comes from the bench so often. He is in the starting eleven a litte bit more than 50% of the time. Is he really not on the level that he can start almost every game or is Mourinho so in love with his role as a joker? It can work out and it did a couple of times, but Dybala in top form is a player who should start the game. You want him on the pitch when you have dangerous standard situations close to the box. When you bring him on in the 75th minute and he doesn't get a single chance, of what help was it to put him on the bench in the first place?

Indeed, it is a question why Mourinho did not put Dybala in the starting line-up, but that is again he who knows better about his team's situation and I think it is also part of the strategy he implemented which required Dybala to start the game from the bench. In a situation like this many people regret that, and indeed what is the thing he really has to do to put Dybala on the bench. But it's back again, because sometimes our wishes will always be different from the coach's, moreover we know Mourinho is a coach who is difficult to predict what his wishes will be.

Dybala is not in a good situation and he is injured that's why Dybala won't even play in the final match against Sevilla:

The sad thing is there is not any good alternative for Dybala in Roma

[terrorJR]

This will be the second consecutive final for As Roma but the previous one was in Conference League.
Was fun to see people saying Mou was finished  

I hate to admit it, but I was amongst those who said Jose Mourinho is a finished manager and that he needs to take sometime off managing football clubs, all because he had a very poor and boring style. His tactics are outdated methods and so much of defending that attacking displays we've seen.

In the last few seasons, clubs that have won the Champions League and both them various domestic leagues are only attacking minded clubs, I get surprised to see how far he's come this season. I'm certain he knows how to play Sevilla after all the years he had at the Spanish League. AS Roma had all it takes to win.

He is an eccentric coach regardless of whether he likes it or not. This is what makes his name soar today, although not as big as before, but of course he is indeed one of the most recognized coaches of his time.
With this condition indeed for connoisseurs of the ball it will indeed be very boring with his scheme which is only about how they get points but he is always focused on that goal and so far he has done good things with his ambition.

[Asiska02]

I do not disregard any of the teams for this finals but I tend to align more with Mourinho boys because if the experience of Jose. He is so experienced in playing finals but in the other hand, Sevilla is more experienced as a team than Roma in the Europa League competition. How Madrid is to Champions League, that is how Sevilla is to Europa. This season that Madrid is prevented from getting to the finals, I think Sevilla will do exactly like Madrid. But the  everything us possible till that very day of the finals.

This is about an experienced Coach and an experienced team. We can’t really deliberate much about these two teams as anything can happen on the day of the final. Sevilla was able to defeat Juventus to reach the finals, so I feel they’ve higher chance to win the trophy than Roma who only has an experienced coach to see them through the finals.

I believe that biggest difference between two teams is from difference of experience of their coaches. Sevilla have more experienced players than Roma and they are more experienced in Europa League than Roma. However, this difference is not too big if you consider Roma have many international players and they already got a very successful Conference League in the last season. Difference between them three seasons ago can be bigger than now and in the final, I think they don't have difference in player quality and experience.

So now the another difference can decide the final match, between two coaches. No doubtful fact that Mourinho is a big difference for Roma with his long coach career and abundant experience with big matches. José Luis Mendilibar does not have such experience like Mourinho and he will be weakness of Sevilla that can be exploited by Mourinho and Roma.

Mendilibar does not have good profile: Wiki and his Manager profile

The gaps between mourinho and mendilibar is too far.

Mourinho has been winning so many trophy with various clubs while mendilibar has nothing to be showed on his profile. He is not having a lot of experience. It must become the main weakness from sevilla in upcoming match.
Mourinho knew so well what shall be done by roma to win the game against sevilla.

The coach has been playing very important role to determine the strategy that will be increasing the chance for the club to win the game.

I were learning from leverkusen vs roma. I saw how so many people were yelling leverkusen was far better than roma but with a great tactic by mourinho and as roma was able going to the final after it was beating leverkusen in the semi final.
The coach will able to make the difference from the performance of club.

[laurenB7742]

You are right. This match will be very competitive. The Europa League title has been the target of both teams since the start of this season. And the team managed to qualify for two finals. Despite not playing well in La League, Sevilla has played well in every match of the Europa League. And the team is quite experienced in the Europa League platform. On the other hand, the Roma team is quite stable with the help of Mourinho. They are confident even against bigger teams and can perform well. Mourinho will try his best to win against Sevilla. I think we will see several goals from both teams in this match.

like Sevilla and Roma, both of them have had a slightly poor performance in their respective major leagues, but these two teams have targeted to be focused and strong in the UEL, rather than spending a lot of energy in the main league and resulting in a decrease in performance in the European league. well, I also believe that the two Sevilla and Roma teams will definitely score goals but for now according to my prediction Sevilla will be superior even though Roma has an experienced coach like Mourinho but the experience of the players will be more dominant in Seville.
yes, I admit that the two teams will definitely be really serious in competing in the European league, but somehow I don't think that Roma is the strong one at the moment.

I'm not saying that Sevilla's chances of winning are low. Sevilla are even favorites for the Europa League title. And the Sevilla team is best suited for the Europa League title. Manchester United and Juventus qualified for the final after defeating big teams. This team has worked hard to win the Europa League title. However, since Mourinho is the coach of Roma, it will not be easy for Sevilla to win the title. Mourinho's match strategy is excellent. Although the team is not very strong, he will try to resist Sevilla with a match strategy. However, I want to enjoy a competitive match. I will be happy if both teams score a lot of goals in this match.

[Strongkored]

Sevilla was able to defeat Juventus to reach the finals, so I feel they’ve higher chance to win the trophy than Roma who only has an experienced coach to see them through the finals.

If based on experience in the European league, Sevilla is actually superior to AS Roma and Sevilla has enough good statistics for this tournament so if that is the benchmark then Rome's chances of winning are very small, because since 2006 until now Sevilla has won 6 titles in this tournament there is no record of achievement that can be ignored, in fact, they were able to be champions every time they reached the final round.

Judging from the odds currently available on sports betting sites, the two teams have the same odds because the odds given to the two teams are not much different, Sevilla @ 2.60 Roma @ 2.90 and a draw @ 2.75, my prediction for the final match will very likely be determined through extra time or even a penalty shootout. What should be of concern to Rome is that it is no longer possible to implement a defensive strategy solely by relying on counterattacks because Sevilla is quite sharp in attack and mistakes in defense will be profitable for Sevilla, if Roma can win this will be their first European league title.

The gaps between mourinho and mendilibar is too far.

Maybe his good profile will start this season. One thing I have learnt is not to undermine anyone that made it to a final. Many people have just forgotten how Sevilla eliminated Manchester United and they have also forgotten Sevilla's excellent records in the Europa League. They can pull a surprise, the thing that weakens me is their star man that is on red card, that is obviously a weakness to the team.
However, a final is a final and will look like one.
Mourinho is a special breed and he will try his best to steal the day, but it's not gonna be easy

that's true, despite the many criticisms about the defensive tactics implemented by Jose Maurinho, he certainly managed to lead the AS Roma team to the Europa League final this season.
Jose Maurinho is very experienced and he even won 5 finals on the European stage with 4 different teams with a 100 percent winning record in the previous 5 finals.

but on the other hand, Sevilla is the most successful team in the Europa League in the last 10 years apart from now that they have a new coach but this is also something to be reckoned with.

I think this season's Europa League final is ideal and it's going to be a very tough final.

But you are implying that coaches never make mistakes. I agree that the coach is closest to the team, has optimal insight into everything that is going on and we can only give our subjective opinions based on what we get to see during the games. But it wouldn't be the first time that a coach purses some ideological ideas that in the end don't work out. Does he have any issues in genera with Dybala? I haven't read anything about it and at first I thought that Dybala must have been injured for a long time, but he seems to be fit. Perhaps he has character issues and doesn't train as hard as others. That is something we wouldn't know unless Mourinho tells the public. But leaving those assumptions aside, Dybala has the quality to go for 90 minutes and deliver a brilliant game. He also has this little extra when it comes to free kicks.

I don't mean at all to say that a coach is always right with the strategy he implements, of course they also have lots of mistakes that don't seem right in implementing the strategy or so on. But what I'm saying here is how a coach sometimes has a different view from us who see how the situation is happening on the field, be it in terms of the game, or even in terms of the players they fielded in that match. I understand why they ignore what the audience is saying, because it's not uncommon when coaches follow what the audience is saying it makes the situation worse, even though there are also those that make the situation better.

I do not disregard any of the teams for this finals but I tend to align more with Mourinho boys because if the experience of Jose.

Actually I don't mind the status of an experienced coach or vice versa, but I also won't deny that sometimes I also consider that status so that it will then be a prediction of the outcome of the match. But apart from all that, the two clubs that will compete have their respective weaknesses and strengths. We know that Sevilla is not good in local competitions, but they can prove it by reaching the final in the Europa League. It's honestly hard to predict who will win the match, and I can say their odds are 50/50.

[maju69]

Although Sevilla has good experience from the past but I'm not sure if Sevilla can beat AS Roma.

That is the opinion of each prediction, we will definitely have a different point of view to make an analysis of how this match will go. Both Sevilla and AS Roma have proven that they can go this far, and they only have one game left to determine who will win the title. Honestly, I can't predict because in my opinion both teams have the ability, and whoever wins the championship later they deserve it.

[asriloni]

Here I will favor AS Roma on the basis that coach Jose Maurinho has extraordinary experience in the European league and my belief that AS Roma will win in this European league final.

That's gonna be the toughest game for as roma. Im waiting what kind of strategy that already prepared by mourinho. I hope that mou will be using parking bus again. that will make sevilla becomes frustrated with it. It will be so good to see sevilla will confuse to face it.

Sevilla will be going fully offensive. Sevilla's coach doesn't have good history in the final. Roma is in advantage caused by it has mourinho.

Although Sevilla has good experience from the past but I'm not sure if Sevilla can beat AS Roma.

Mourinho on roma's side. It will become even harder for sevilla to beat roma. I put all of my believes in roma right now.

Roma will able win the game against sevilla soon.

Absolutely and I wouldn't argue against your opinion here because it's true. But you know these situations where sometimes coaches also gamble and try something where most people would disagree with the decision.

Coaches should have their own minds, but they are also in a position to interpret everything in their favor. For example, if a player is put on the bench and is angry about it and then comes from the bench and scores, the coach says "he scored because I put him on the bench and made the right decision". But it's sometimes just coincidence or luck. When the player doesn't score, the coach can say that that was the reason why the player was sitting on the bench.

I am not someone who takes decisions from coaches quickly and then judges. I admit that coaches have much more information than we do. But there are also decisions when I think I would have done it differently. Because coaches also have different opinions. It is not just because Mourinho is a master and we are not. Mourinho also makes decisions that Guardiola wouldn't make.

I believe that in the end players decide the game, not so much the coaches.

I understand what you mean when the coach says his decision to put on the bench and come on as a substitute and get that goal will be a weapon for him and then claims it was part of the strategy. I also agree that it won't be the same forever, because it could just be luck in the game. A coach will usually claim that good results are the result of his strategy, but a great coach will admit his mistakes so that the bad results that befall the team he leads are his full responsibility.
Of course everyone will have different thoughts, moreover it is football, usually in strategy we will have a style of play that we like and we will apply it when we are in a position as a coach. But of course there will be external factors that require us to change our strategy from time to time.
