UEFA Conference League 2023/24 Season

[Google+]

It was a bad result for Fenerbahçe and they were eliminated from the Europa League.
It's really bad to be eliminated by Olympiacos.

İsmail Kartal is a disgraceful coach, a squad of this quality was eliminated.
Fenerbahçe is a disgraceful team, so such a result cannot be possible, we supported Fenerbahçe as a country, but the result is obvious.
Now let them cry in the Turkish League.

Gone all hope of Turkey to see one of their teams can bring at least the Conference League Cup at this time, playing in front of their own supporters actually fenerbache was able to appear quite dominant and even without waiting long they managed to score 1 goal in the 11th minute, but after the goal was created it was seen that fenerbache struggled in developing their game and only continued to waste opportunities,  Facing Olympiacos is actually not a difficult job for Fenerbache, which currently contains many European star players, but it is precisely the hard play and strong defense of Olympiacos that made Fenerbache have to be eliminated from the Conference League this season.

I think it's quite strange to see some substitutions made by Ismail Kartal in that match which which actually weakened Fenerbache's attack, I don't think  there are coaches who actually seem to prefer a 1-goal victory when playing at home and risk their chances of qualifying through penalties, yes Fenerbache's hopes this season are only a Super Lig championship after they have also WO from the Turkish Super Cup.

I have a lot of real life Aston Villa fans so very happy to see them go to the semi finals. They are having a great season, they have a real chance to win a first trophy since 1996.

Emery is doing a great job there, if they can finish 4th and get into the CL too he has to be up there for manager of the season in England.

Aston villa is the only English premier league team that is still playing in Europe league like champion league, Europa league and Europa conference league, all the premier league that I know have been eliminated, and to be honest I’m really disappointed at the premier league teams this season, they can’t perform good like last season, I think this premier league team are getting over hyped too much, that is why people always see them as best league in the world of football, even Aston Villa performance in this Europa conference league have not improved very well, yesterday as they qualified is because of their goal keeper that is very good and save two penalties shootout.

I’m also happy for Aston Villa because they really try their best and they are the only premier league team that is playing in the Europa conference league, but I haven’t sure they can win the league because of their performance , there are many teams that are better than them in this league, but let me not judge them for now because this is football and anything can happen.

I am very happy to see the development of Aston Villa in this conference league, as well as in the English premier league even though they can only compete in the top 5 of the standings, it is quite consistent from last season in my opinion and now much better than what we saw with Emery.

But even so Lille is a big problem for Aston Villa, the fact that they could not finish the match with Lille in yesterday's match, of course in the future it will also definitely be problematic and it will be very difficult to get the title if Lille is really more consistent in winning his matches, Emery must be able to focus more on facing teams like this.

Aston Villa is a great team and Emery really brought Aston Villa to a new level, before that Aston Villa did not play so well for 10 years, if not more, but it should be noted that in yesterday's match against LOSC Lille Emery's team played as if a training session. Aston Villa players did not keep up with the opponent, made a lot of mistakes and almost no chances and if not for the mistake of the Lille goalkeeper at the end of the second half, Aston Villa would have been out of the conference league yesterday.
You could say that LOSC Lille goalkeeper and Martinez gave Aston Villa a pass to the next stage.
By the way it's a mystery to me why the referee showed Martinez a second yellow and he wasn't sent off.

Oh man, they really can win at home but too bad they lost on penalties.
And you are correct, Aston advanced to the semifinals and it looks like they will meet Fenerbache.
Many people predict that Fiorentina will meet Aston in the final and it looks like that will happen.

Yeah, I really liked Lille's performance there until the penalty shootouts. I'm not regretful for betting on them as it was really too close.    Emiliano Martinez... He is really a beast.    Man, he saved 2 penalties and deserved to be the man of the match undoubtedly. He is performing really different against French teams hehe.

Fenerbahçe to advance was my expectation also but it didn't happen. They also got eliminated by penalty shootouts even though Livakovic saved 2 penalties...

The manager İsmail Kartal is highly criticized for his substitution choices during the match. I also think he is a really bad manager who can't foresee even simple things.

How many bets Fiorentina destroy?

I m talking about the 1x2 bets, for the 90 minutes match, i dont expect Fiorentina strugling so much against a weak Viktoria Pilzen, and having 180 minutes without scoring a goal against that team is so much.

About Fenerbahce, another desilusional perfomance from this team and from Turkish team, i dont know how they do to play this bad in europe.

[bering]

Aston Villa is really change under Emery because they can showing champion mentality and it's not easy to beat Lille because this team was performing well too but at the penalty shootout we can see Aston Villa is deserved to called as champion candidate even so with Fiorentina although it's not easy but finally they can beat Viktoria Pilzen but do not forget too about Club Brugge because unlike other teams who have to hard struggling to beat their opponents but Club Brugge journey to reach to the semifinal matches is very smooth because they can beat FC PAOK twice with final aggregate 3-0

Aston Villa vs Olympiacos
Fiorentina vs Club Brugge

On the paper Aston Villa and Fiorentina is favourited can beat their opponents but i don't think it would be so easy because Olympiacos and Club Brugge performance also very impressive but indeed i expect Aston Villa and Fiorentina can beat their opponents because if this really happend then it will be a dream final match and we have already to discuss about this before and my favourite is Aston Villa

[el kaka22]

Definitely not a loss I expected, but thankfully it wasn't a "loss" for me. I bet on Fenerbahce to win the game and they did, which I did not know that it was possible to get the win, I expected it was the whole matchup, but thankfully I did not bet on that, I bet on just the game, and I wasn't aware of this and checked my bet as a loss, and when I checked the result, it turns out I had a win, because my bet wasn't for the whole stage, but for that single game alone and since Fenerbahce actually won the regular time of the match, that meant that Fenerbahce won this one, and that means I get the win.

It wasn't that bad, it was just 1.42 odds, so it didn't really feel like a big deal, but I am glad that at least I got a win out of this disappointing result from them.

Aston Villa, under the guidance of Emery, has shown the changes that bring a winning mentality. Even facing challenges from a stronger team like Lille, they still managed to convince their fans that they were title-contender material. The same goes for Fiorentina, though they experienced defeats in some matches. Nevertheless, against Viktoria Pilzen, they successfully returned and secured victory with a powerful performance. However, Olympiacos and Club Brugge will be tough opponents on their way to the next stage as they have also not been eliminated yet but won their previous matches in the Europa League.
The solid play from both teams means that the game will not be an easy one for Aston Villa and Fiorentina. and I remain optimistic that Aston Villa and Fiorentina can overcome any challenges they face and advance to the next stage.

[swogerino]

Looks like an easily predictable final here and it should be Aston Villa vs Fiorentina for the simple reason that these two teams play against teams of much lower quality leagues,of course the Premier League is much better in quality than the Greece Super League and although Olympiacos has more experience in international arena Aston Villa has a much better quality in their players,the same can be said for Fiorentina and I think Fiorentina should be even more motivated to win this final since they have already lost one to West Ham.I doubt that Club Brugge will be of any real obstacle to the Fiorentina team simply because they play in a much lower quality league than the Serie A,I don't see any surprise results in the semi finals or at least not in who will qualify as surprise results may still happen.

[ingiltere]

Fenerbahçe's elimination was a big shock for the whole of Türkiye. When they took an early lead, everyone thought they would score more goals and go through. But they couldn't find another goal after 1-0 and were eliminated with poor penalty shots. This immediately brought to mind the Lyon match, Beşiktaş could have won the Europa League trophy that season had they not been eliminated on penalties. It was a similar situation for Fenerbahçe in the Conference League. Now the favorite for the cup seems to be Aston Villa.

I think people bet more on Fiorentina compared to choosing Victoria Plzen as a place to bet, most people are more familiar with Fiorentna than that team. so there are not many broken bets by Fiorentina, or are you heavy on Victoria Plzen?

The match was pretty easy and was controlled by Fiorentina by 70%, so this is a very good thing and there is no hope for Victoria in this second leg, it's just that maybe the first leg only resulted in a draw, or are you talking about the first leg match, when Fiorentina could not win the match?

[Strongkored]

Aston Villa is the only team from the English Premier League that is still remaining in European competition because Manchester City and Arsenal have been eliminated from the Champions League as well as Liverpool and West Ham in the European League, this is quite disappointing and Pep Gurdiola's complaint about the busy schedule before they played against Real Madrid that must be carried out locally, and I think that could be the cause of these clubs being eliminated.

Aston Villa won dramatically after falling behind on aggregate goals from Lille in the second half of the second leg. This was a tight match and Lille played well, especially their goalkeeper who managed to block two golden opportunities from Aston Villa in extra time, but Aston Villa's goalkeeper performed even better. during the penalty shootout by blocking a Lille player's penalty kick thus ensuring his team reached the semifinals of the conference league, and Unai Emery succeeded in making this team better and more competitive.

When we look at the teams that have not been eliminated, the strongest team right now seems to be Aston Villa. When we look at both their performance in the Premier League this season and their European matches, I see that there is no serious obstacle in front of them. I don't know if we will see a surprise result, I think Fiorentina and Aston Villa will play in the final match

[LGD2Business]

Fenerbahçe's elimination had a great impact in the country because the expectations were very high, the fans thought they would win the cup. Olympiacos was only half of Fenerbahçe's squad value, but ultimately Fenerbahçe was eliminated. Now the majority of people see the culprit as İsmail Kartal. They say that if there was another manager, Fenerbahçe would have passed this round. Some people say that the management cares more about the league. But why would the management make such a choice when it could go all the way in both leagues? There's no logic to this.

I totally agree with your opinion about Aston Villa being one of the favourite teams to win Conference League this season, if not the most favourite one.
Aston Villa will face Olympiacos in the semifinal game and I expect them to pass. Olympiacos are barely moving from a step to another against teams that are weaker than Aston Villa.
The other semifinal match will be played between Fiorentina and Club Brugge. Well, at this point, I don't find Fiorentina way favourite honestly. Both teams are close to each other and the main difference is Serie A is superior than the Belgium one. Yet Brugge sometimes could be more surprising!

Aston Villa performance under Emery is very impressive this season because their performance is quite stable because in Premier League Aston Villa can occupy 4th place on League Table and on Conference League too they can advances to the semifinal and since group stages Aston Villa journey is not easy especially since knockout phase because on round of 16 Aston Villa was facing strong opponent Ajax but at that time they can beat that team with final aggregate 4-0 and on quarterfinal too Aston Villa have to hard struggling but they can eliminate Lille so from these statistics we can see Aston Villa deserved to called as Champion candidate because they can successfully eliminate strong teams

In my opinion Olympiacos quality is not so different compared to Aston Villa previous opponents because this team is hard to beated even the latest is they can eliminate Fenerbahce and for the first leg Aston Villa will playing as a host and this is good opportunity to taking advantages from home match because if Aston Villa can able to overcomes Olympiacos then second leg would be more easy for them and recently i have checked the odds for both teams and i can see Aston Villa as the favourite even they have low odds to bets @1.43

[Volgastallion]

Man, what are you saying? Olimpiacos is far behind Aston Villa, maybe they can win against them because is only a match of football but in term of teams and players Aston Villa is at least two miles away from them, i dont know in what you based your opinion.

Anyways in this tournament anyone can become the champion.

Honestly fans are rightful to be mad, the owners are rightful to be mad as well, they build a squad that is twice as valued as only, and yet they still lost as well. I think it's quite obvious that if you are not careful with what you are doing then you are going to end up losing.

I personally believe that the situation they are in right now is managers fault, he made some terrible decisions all game long, and he made some terrible decisions on the first game as well so it is definitely the fault of the manager. Not like they can fire him, because only a few games left, so firing him right now would be just throwing the towel at the league as well, but I am 100% certain that the very next day of the last game of this season, that manager is gone.

[Gencecikmen]

Although Fenerbahçe lost the first leg 3-2 and won the second leg 1-0 at home, The sides leveled at 3-3 on aggregate, so the match went to extra time and then the penalty shootout. Fenerbahce was eliminated from the UEFA Europa Conference League by opponents Olympiacos after a heartbreaking 3-2 penalty shootout. Olympiacos goalkeeper Kostas Tzolakis put in a heroic performance, saving three penalties. Greek's Olympiacos will face England's Aston Villa in semi-final.

Aston Villa vs Olympiacos

I see a clear destruction by Aston Villa there.    The first leg is in England. Olympiacos will probably adopt a quite defensive game. However I don't expect Aston Villa to have serious issues with breaking it and getting a good advantage already.

Emery is working miracles with Aston Villa and I expect a satisfying win to finish the job in the first leg already. They are fighting for a Champions League spot in the Premier League also of course but I don't think this will affect their concentration level negatively.

Fiorentina vs Club Brugge

Fiorentina were overwhelmingly good against Plzen. However the Plzen goalkeeper played his life matches.    Still Fiorentina managed to win by the goals they found in extra time. I expect a big effort from them against Club Brugge also and my favourite is them to reach the finale once again here.

Fiorentina missed the title chance to West Ham last year and it looks like it can happen against Aston Villa this time.
