UEFA Conference League 2023/24 Season

[Docnaster]

Out of the four games that were played yesterday in the UEFA Conference League last night, there were three wins while the other one ended in a goalless draw and none of the three wins had more than one goal difference which means that there's a lot to play for in the second leg of the games.
But my major interest is the tie between English Premier League club Aston Villa and French Ligue 1 club Lille. Aston Villa won the first leg with a 2:1 scoreline and would have to travel to France for the second of the tie. Lille will have the advantage of playing the second leg in front of their home fans which I think will make them put in their best to try get a result that'll better the result of the one West Ham got against in the first leg.

Aston Villa managed to win against LOSC with score of 2 - 1 and in this home match it shows that the two competed quite fiercely, LOSC managed to dominate the game but Aston Villa was far superior in taking advantage of opportunities to play at home.
With the temporary advantage that Aston Villa has on aggregate, they have temporarily comfortable conditions, but for the second leg match, I think Aston Villa will get big surprise.

Aston Villa had a very hard match with LOSC and if not for Martinez, the score would have been 3:2 or 4:2 in favor of LOSC, because at least 2-3 chances LOSC had, which they could not realize because of the goalkeeper of Aston Villa.
Despite Aston Villa's victory the game was not impressive and only Martinez and Wally Watkins were at their best as usual and showed a good level of play.
The return game for Villa will be very hard and I think the chances of getting to the next stage, despite the defeat of LOSC are still equal and Aston Villa should try to get to the next stage.

Yes Martinez saved Aston Villa's goal several times very well which made this match a very epic match for him because the onslaught from LOSC was very great and fortunately Aston Villa had Martinez in good condition so that he could block a very dangerous attack even though one goal he could not save, but it was an epic match for the Aston Villa goalkeeper.

I don't think it's necessary to underestimate some of the players because they worked hard according to their own abilities that made this team win in this leg 1, even though Martinez and Watkins had a much better performance than others but we can't lose sight of the others too because this is a teamwork, and I think it's natural and also no one made a bad mistake in this match from the Aston Villa squad.
Yes of course in the next match it will be very difficult for Aston Villa because it is their away match to LOSC, the host will definitely make a surprise at home, this will indeed make everything seem difficult for Aston Villa I am also very difficult to predict who will get the victory in the match in this 2nd leg.

Viktoria Plzen seems know Fiorentina quality is above to them so that's why for their formation Viktoria Plzen was used 5 defender players and seems their prediction were come true because Fiorentina can able to make them under pressure and it makes Viktoria Plzen cannot able to develop their game and luckily until the match ended Viktoria Plzen still able to managed their defense but this result is very unfavourable because in the second leg Fiorentina possibly will attempts to beat them again and i think it is very possible to do so and Fiorentina only required to win with narrow scores which i am confident Fiorentina can able to do that and advances to the semifinal stages

For other match Aston Villa still decent to called as champion candidate for this competition because they can able to overcomes Lille although they only can ended the match with narrow scores but this winning result is very important moreover Lille is the team who hard to beated but at least this result can makes Aston Villa journey will be more easy because in the second leg they only required to playing draw or not lost with 1 goal margin or more and i think Aston Villa can able to do that

Fenerbahçe got a very bad result last night. I don't think anyone expected such a result.
Fenerbahçe has a goalkeeper problem. Livakovic is a very problematic goalkeeper. I didn't like him from the very beginning and I still don't like him.
I think Altay Bayindir is a better goalkeeper than Livakovic.
I hope they win the game in Istanbul and reach the semifinals.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Man, it was a really tough night for Fenerbahçe. I really wanted them to get an advantageous score in Greece and this isn't bad at all honestly. It is better than 3-0 at least. If Fenerbahçe didn't manage to get better in the second half it was going to be a nightmare for them.

This is a result of tactical mistakes too. I agree with people who think like this. If you are determined to go for even the Conference League title you should be more careful. Even if Fenerbahçe reach the semi finals they will most probably face the toughest team here, Aston Villa. I don't think Fenerbahçe can go further than that as a result.

Olympiakos beat Fenerbahce 3-2 at home in the first leg of the Europa Conference League quarterfinals on yesterday. Olympiakos built a 3-0 lead in Piraeus and held on after the Fenerbahce fought back with two second-half goals. Second half goals from Dusan Tadic and Irfan Can Kahveci were not enough to save Fenerbahce in Piraeus. Olympiakos is one of the two Greek teams in the last eight hoping to reach a home final in Athens.

Plzen did manage to force Fiorentina to end the first leg match with a 0-0 draw, what you said is true because it is quite dangerous for Plzen if it plays open against Fiorentina in that match, Fiorentina's quality and performance are of course above Plzen so inevitably Plzen must play defense to try their luck in the second leg later,  But I think the first leg is just a delayed defeat to Plzen at the moment, because after all Fiorentina will definitely bring out all their abilities to destroy Plzen especially in the second leg Fiorentina will play at home, so their motivation will definitely increase to be able to grab a ticket to the semi-finals.

Since the Conference League entered the round of 16, of course Aston Villa has become a strong favorite to win the Conference League this season, previously we had Ajax who was indeed a favorite team, but unfortunately they had to come out sooner than we expected after Ajax lost to Aston Villa, for now I think Aston Villa has a more capable squad than other teams in addition to strong support from Unai Emery's experience,  My prediction is that in the final round we will see Aston Villa meet Fiorentina.

It looks like this round won't be easy at all for Aston Villa.    Lille stood really strong even though they lost by 2-1 away. I couldn't count how many times they wasted big goal chances. They wasted an important chance to equalize the score in the stoppage time also. This could be the signals of how tough it will be for Aston Villa in the second leg.

Aston Villa have been my favourite to win the Conference League trophy so far and they still are. However Lille can really surprise people like me if they get better at finishing next time.

I'm even thinking of making a small bet on Lille to qualify for semi finals just for fun.

This is a good review, and yes even though Aston won 2-1 in the 1st leg, it is Lille who actually has a chance to qualify if we look at how they played in the 1st leg.
And Lille have only lost once of 14 home games in Ligue1, even better than PSG.
They only conceded 8 goals in 14 games, it will be difficult for Aston to score there.



I am sure Lille will qualify for the semifinals and even goes to the final after beat Olympiacos/Fenerbache.

Aston Villa beat LOSC 2-1 in the Europa Conference League quarter-final first leg to take a one-goal lead from the first leg. Aston Villa managed to show their best performance in the last match due to which Aston Villa won this important match like quarter final. As Astron Villa won in the first leg match, this team will be much pressure free in the second leg match. If a team is free from pressure in the second leg and if the opposite team is under a lot of pressure, then the team that is free from pressure will perform better. As Aston Villa won the first leg match, it will be expected that this team will win the second leg match.

[Despairo]

Today the Conference League will start again, Aston Villa vs Lille and Fiorentina vs Viktoria Plzen.

Looking with their performance on the first leg, Lille is better than Aston Villa, since this time they will play in their ground, Lille should able to win.

While Fiorentina vs Viktoria Plzen, Viktoria Plzen is nothing, they're lucky able to reach quarter final even their perform were awful. I'm sure Fiorentina will win this match.

Fortunately the match will start 2 hours before Champions League, so we can watch Conference League match.

[W Jr.]

Well,seeing Club Brugge,Paok,Plzen,Fenerbahce this high in the Europa Conference League it means that Uefa has full success with this format,it gives plenty of opportunities to teams who stand little to no chance of advancing in Champions League even if they manage to be in the group stage there or near getting qualified for group stage.Two teams from Greece in the quarter finals means that in this league even teams from not well known major leagues have real possibilities to get even further and why not go for the winning of such league.I am very impressed by teams like the one mentioned here which are teams that do great at their local league but that's it,in International competitions they don't do that well,in this format though they are doing great and as I said it is a great success for Uefa.

Uefa must have intended something like this by organizing this cup. Currently in the third European cup rankings. Actually, the teams that are not bad are playing in the qualifiers right now. Fenerbahçe's squad is above average and was one of the favorite teams along with Aston Villa before the match. Lille is also a very quality team. Teams that can do important things in the European league are taking part in this tournament. Also, Rome won this cup, so it is not that small of a tournament.

[Hirose UK]

All quarter-final first leg matches have been completed in their entirety and after Fenerbahce failed to win today it also shows match that is no less surprising too.
Aston Villa managed to win against LOSC with score of 2 - 1 and in this home match it shows that the two competed quite fiercely, LOSC managed to dominate the game but Aston Villa was far superior in taking advantage of opportunities to play at home.
With the temporary advantage that Aston Villa has on aggregate, they have temporarily comfortable conditions, but for the second leg match, I think Aston Villa will get big surprise.
LOSC can definitely take advantage of the opportunity by achieving big win at home, this is something that Aston Villa must be aware of and of course LOSC also has fairly good history of home matches.

Competition in the quarter-finals was truly impressive, those who were favorites lost and the second leg match will be the final decider in this round.

If Aston Villa takes this league seriously, they will win it because all of the teams that are left in it are teams that they can easily defeat. I know Aston Villa makes mistakes, but when they play well, they win because they have a strong team. However, from my perspective, Aston Villa did not prioritise winning the league; instead, they were more concerned with qualifying for the Champions League the following season. Although they are still competing in this league, their play is not strong enough to give me the impression that they can win the title. However, we'll have to wait and see what happens in the second leg of the match to find out what happens in the next round. It would be beneficial if Aston Villa plays well, wins this title, and knows that they have a trophy this season.

But it not easy because Aston Villa is not stable team and they always play with small wins, this is not an easy competition considering that several other opposing team in front of them could give surprise and make Aston Villa suffer defeat.
LOSC always perform quite well for home games and even if Aston Villa is really focused on tomorrow second leg it still won't guarantee win for Aston Villa, I sure it will end in penalty shootout because of the same aggregate or big defeat for Aston Villa.
However, I don't think I know what they are preparing for tomorrow match and what is clear is that for the away match I really doubt Aston Villa can win easily.

For the Premier League, I admit that Aston Villa have just shown an unexpected surprise by successfully beating Arsenal without scoring goal, but this is only surprise because if they repeat it again it is not certain that they will be able to win.
Moreover, even though qualifying for the UCL next season is unlikely to last long because they will definitely be eliminated as soon as possible, it would be much better to focus on the Premier League rather than hoping for the UCL title.

I was checking the odds for tomorow games and Fiorentina with a 1.4 seems quite good to make some bet on it. I dont think they are gonna have another tie against a weak team like Pilzen, and less playing in Florence.

Also i take a look on Olimpiacos with a 5.00 odd...... i think is a very good one for those who catch underdogs.

The chances of Fiorentina victory over Plzen are of course very big at the moment, but I think it doesn't hurt for us to try to risk a little money by going against the grain, I mean, at the moment the bookie only gives odds of 1.40 to Fiorentina who are indeed favorites to win, while the odds for a draw like the first leg only get odds of 4.50, while for plazen wins the bookie gives odds of 9.00 of course if lucky, we will get refund the money is quite large with the odds of 9.00 given by the bookie, it is indeed too risky to bet on a plzen win or draw, but it never hurts to take that risk if we look at the results of the first leg match between fiorentina vs plzen.

Honestly I would bet on An Olympiacos win or a draw in the next match, because I think Olympiacos are not a weak team even if they are not favourites by the Bookmakers, in my opinion, Olympiacos will have high motivation in that match to maintain their chance, so I think Olympiacos have a great chance to repeat their victory in the first leg in the second leg.  So there is no harm in betting on Olympiacos at odds of 5.00 in the match.

I don't know why the bookmakers are placing such low odds in favor of Fenerbahce, in my opinion in this game the odds value for Fenerbahce should be around 2.50 and for Olimpiacos it should be around 2.80 because I consider Olympiacos a good team that can come out of this game with victory, which is why if I were to place my bet on this game, I would choose the option "Both Teams to Score: Yes" which has 1.60 odds, it seems to me to be the best choice. It's true that Fenerbahce is a very strong team when they play at home, in the last 14 games they played at home, they only lost in 2 games, but Fenerbahce doesn't have a very solid defense capable of not conceding a goal in that game.


LOSC Lille  -  Aston villa

the most unpredictable game tomorrow will be the LOSC Lille game against Aston villa, this is a game that the bookmakers are giving LOSC Lille as the favorite, but the odds value of each team makes it a balanced value in my opinion, LOSC Lille has 2.36 odds while Aston Villa has 2.95 odds, but in the first leg game it seemed to me that Aston Villa was a team that was more effective in attack and Aston Villa comes to this with a victory over Arsenal, which is a strong team in the premier league, while LOSC Lille has not played since playing in the first leg, so probably LOSC Lille's players may be a little disorganized and out of shape

Aston Villa has the following players injured: Boubacar Kamara, Emi Buendia, Tyrone Mings and Jacob Ramsey.

LOSC Lille has the following players injured: Andrej Ilic and Tiago Morais

[MK-74]

There is a Fenerbahçe - Olympiacos game tomorrow, I hope Fenerbahçe does not fail us tomorrow and they win the game.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow and I want Fenerbahçe to win. Fenerbahçe has the quality squad to reach the semi-finals, and even has the squad to win this cup. I hope they don't make mistakes tomorrow and get to the semi-finals.

[FanEagle]

I believe that we are going to see Fenerbahce and Villa win their games, that will be early finals if you ask me because those two teams are the best teams remaining based on what I have seen so far from them.

I think Brugge and Fiorentina will probably be the other two teams at the semi finals. I am not saying that this is guaranteed, if you bet just because of that then I am sorry, I could be wrong. I am just saying this based on the games I have seen from these teams so far this season, and I have also seen the first games as well so I really believe that we are going to see these teams play a lot better than expected, that's an important thing and we should be careful about it as much as we can.

Aston Villa have already win from Lille in the first leg this result is makes them open their chances to advances to the next round but they have to hard struggling to do that because Lille is quite strong and so far during this season since group stages Lille is still unbeatable at their home but indeed i think Aston Villa can gets at least draw result from Lille today and for betting options recently i have checked the odds and Lille is slightly the favourite with odds @2.47 but this option is quite risky because i am sure Aston Villa will not lost and probably the best pick for this match is both teams to scores

I think i have to agree with you that most likely Aston Villa can able to advances to the next round even so with Fiorentina because previously they can successfully to playing draw from Viktoria Plzen so for second leg Fiorentina only required to win with 1 goal margin or more and i think they can able to do that and i know the odds for Fiorentina win is not high even it's too low but i think it's safe bets because certainly Fiorentina can be the winner of this match

And for Fenerbahce i think they have hard match because Olympiacos is strong team for them and both teams has been met several times at European competitions and if we see from head to head statistics Olympiacos has good records from Fenerbahce moreover in the first leg Olympiacos have already win and my prediction for this match is Olympiacos can able to beat Fenerbahce again and advances to the semifinal

Fenerbahçe fell behind 3-0 in the first match and could not make any difference until these 3 goals. Later, they scored 2 goals and had an advantage in the match. After all, there are big differences between 3-0 and 3-2. Fenerbahçe can win in Istanbul today. They are playing well at home and their fans will be more interested since it is a European match. There are also bad results in the past with the Greek team. They want to make you forget these too. We are very hopeful for them to reach the semi-finals. I hope Fenerbahçe reaches the semi-finals.
