UEFA Conference League 2023/24 Season

What a shame it was the Aston Villa performance in this series man, a complete shame.
Olympiacos really deserves to go into the final and plus they are gonna play in home if im not mistaken.

Between Fiorentina and Olimpiacos i think FIorentina can be a feet foward but..... after how Olympiacos win against Villa maybe is Olympiacos the favorite or the big contender.

It is indeed a shame! Aston Villa were terrible in every way, but most importantly in defense... Just how can they concede 6 goals in 2 matches from Olympiacos???    We have all seen how Olympiacos were playing before this stage. They didn't have anything impressive to be honest. But unexpectedly they destroyed Aston Villa.

I'm so mad at Aston Villa for their poor effort. My bets lost because of them.    First a bet on Aston Villa win in the first leg lost and this time a BTTS bet has been failed. But I'm a little obstinate and will take my chance for the final too.

Aston Villa what a disgrace to England football are you.I find it very difficult to believe that teams from England are having difficulties to beat teams from Greece as even Brighton screwed up in the group stage against AEK Athens or PAOK,don't remember who they played against and surely the quality of the Premier League is better than Greece Superleague.I think that Aston Villa does not deserve at all that position they are holding in the Premier League that will see them coming back and playing next season too,I think someone needs to implement a new rule that teams that play and lose against much weaker team in European competitions to be ban to play for 2 consecutive seasons in that competition again,let's see if strong teams will lose games again,NOT going to happen if they do that but they don't as corruption and money rules everything even football.

I was also very disappointed with the result Aston Villa got in this Conference League, because I also bet on Aston Villa in these two legs against Olympiacos. But anyway, the fact that Aston Villa lost in the two legs because indeed, I also thought Aston Villa had a chance to win and qualify for the final match. Because at least, Aston Villa's position in the Premier League standings also makes me confident in Aston Villa to be able to beat Olympiacos. But anyway, in reality Olympiacos really managed to beat Aston Villa in both legs played. Because at least, Aston Villa's position in the Premier League standings is also safe but yes, somehow Aston Villa still failed in the Conference League despite only playing against Olympiacos.

I wasn't disappointed you see, I wanted them to lose that game although the approach used by Unai Emery during the game yesterday was what I expected, bit I didn't expect Olympiacos to hold them tight and at the same time, get the chance of securing a good goal and them two to seal that game.

This is not the time for them to chicken out, they should keep them heads up and focus on not moving below from them current position. Unai Emery has experience, if he had taken them successfully to the finals, there's no way he wouldn't have won that Competition.

Florentina also impressed! You know they wasn't able to win this same Competition against West Ham United last season, this season, I hope they will do all they can to make things up correctly.
Don't put so much blames on Aston Villa, they might be fatigued. And it has affected the training section and stuff. Loses like this are hurting but good for teaam to come back twice or more next time.

I didn't think Aston Villa would lose in yesterday's match. They already lost in the first match, they had to be much more aggressive and decisive yesterday. They had a very high rate of possession of the ball, but they could not score a goal, and on top of that, they conceded 2 goals. I had higher expectations for Aston Villa, I think there has been a big decrease in their performance in recent weeks. Let's see what they will do in the Premier League next season

Aston Villa cannot be trusted when they take part in European competitions, the momentum they have failed to be utilized properly, competing in the top four of the Premier League standings cannot be used as a reference that Aston Villa will perform as well in the UEFA Confederation League. Olympiakos was very lucky to beat Aston Villa 6-2 on aggregate, because previously many assumed that Aston Villa would be able to reach the final this season, even Unai Emery squad was predicted to have the chance to win the trophy. However, unexpectedly, Olympiakos appeared impressive and managed to resolve all doubts about them. The final match will bring together Olympiakos versus Fiorentina, I predict Olympiakos chances are slightly higher to win the trophy.

Overall, Fiorentina is not a team that can be underestimated, because they have good bargaining power in this competition, and last season they also managed to reach the final round. Meanwhile, regarding Aston Villa next season, it is very likely that they will be able to finish in the top four of the standings, so they will play in the Champions League. It is clear that the competition in the Champions League is much more difficult than the UEFA Confederation League, Unai Emery must be able to add depth to the squad to become a team to be reckoned with. Meanwhile in the Premier League, the competition next season will be much more difficult than this season, it is clear that Aston Villa will most likely not be able to compete in the top four of the standings again.

Aston Villa despite showing massive improvement in the league, as you can see how they have been able to improve so tremendously under Unai, you will think even in Europe they will be such a masterclass to watch. Well because of their great performance in the league, so many people even predicted the to be in the finals of the UEFA Conference league.

 ⁠Well unfortunately Olympiacos had a huge surprise for them and were able to batter this Aston Villa side at the Villa Park and I think this should be am major worry for Unai and his coaching team whilst they prepare to participate in the UCL next season. Looking at that victory, you’ll have a strong conviction that this Olympiacos side will be giving Fiorentina some headaches in the final because that victory against Villa showed how resilient and strong their bond as a team is.

 ⁠Fiorentina who were able to book their place in the finals are also not a team to look oast because they have a strong rooted spirit in success for competitions like this and they can be ready to go all out to challenge for the trophy and with determination can get the trophy. So I think this is going to be one very fierce final as the 2 teams are both great in terms of performance this season. I cant wait to see what the final holds and who will be going with the trophy at the end of 90 minutes. Aston Villa will need to consolidate on their loss and know where they need to work on as they approach the UCL because the UCL ain’t a place  of so many errors as you could get punished so head for the slightest error.

The problem with English teams is only one, they play in europe like they dont want to play, is 0 interest it seems when we talk about the second tier competitions like Europa League and this Conference League, when you see the games of them you see the lack of atitude and compromise from the players, and that is not easy to solve. Also i dont know why that happen.

Between Fiorentina and Olimpiacos i think FIorentina can be a feet foward but..... after how Olympiacos win against Villa maybe is Olympiacos the favorite or the big contender.

Aston Villa are on the verge of their second defeat in the Premier League, their fourth in all competitions. They also look unlucky with their embarrassing actions in this series. The Premier League gave the Toffees a six-point deduction for committing a breach of the stability rule. To be honest, they don't have anything to rely on in this match. This
making them unable to compete for the next match so I lost the bet with great disappointment, I think it is necessary to implement new rules so that Aston Villa players will be better in the future.

Just like me, I think a lot of football fans out there would've love to see Aston Villa play in the final of this season's UEFA Europa Conference League competition but unfortunately for us, the English Premier League club was stopped from achieving such feat by Greek club Olympiacos who gave their best in the two-legged semi final tie between the two clubs. Aston Villa manager Unai Emery in my own assessment actually performed well with the boys this season but failed to maximize the opportunity of playing an European final.
Aston Villa have already qualified to play in the UEFA Champions League competition next season as their top four finish this season wasn't confirmed when Tottenham Hotspur failed to win against Manchester City. Aston Villa we know wouldn't play in the final but I think they deserve applaud for the little they've achieved already this season.

I also didn't expect Aston Villa to be eliminated in the semifinals against Olympiakos and even defeated in two meetings even though initially Aston Villa was the favorite club in this league to win, it was unexpected that EPL clubs had been eliminated in all UEFA competitions and there were no EPL representative clubs anymore. representing in international competitions the only hope was Aston Villa but now that club has also been eliminated by Olympiakos and now we just have to decide between Fiorentina and Olympiakos who will take the trophy.

I think it is very natural that Olympiakos is the next favorite to win this title because it is able to beat EPL club quite easily and we also know how Villa has performed in the EPL so far and it is not an ordinary club but Olympiakos was able to reach the final without any difficulty against Villa but Fiorentina's appearance is also quite wary.

This Aston Villa side this season have been outstanding but I think their performance level towards the season’s closing stage have been reduced drastically. Not just that at this point they’re almost at the point deduction level and we know how that could affect their league standing this season. Though they missed out on the final of conference league with a very top and impressive performance from Olympiacos but you can’t say that they haven’t done well.

 Like this team has been able to secure a UCL spot, I think that eas confirmed with Tottenham’s loss to Man City some days bac.  ⁠So i think they must be commended for reaching this stage of the competition especially reaching the 4th place in the EPL. This should be enough reason why Unai should be entrusted but in as much as he’s trusted he’s got to up his game because the UCL isn’t one competition where you play with a low mentality.

 ⁠They will need massive regrouping and maybe an addition of one or two top players that will help them especially in the UCL competition as that’s a very fierce competition. They can build on their top performance this season and build up for next season as that’s what they need to do whilst going forward.

There are 13 days to go for the final match.

The updated market for this match is like this:



This would surely vary from one website to another but I'm just sharing the one I've found.   

These odds don't make me surprised first of all. I was expecting Olympiacos to have good odds to lift the trophy and they really have. It's worth trying I think and probably I'll do it.    However on paper of course Fiorentina are one step ahead. Especially after qualifying for this stage 2 years in a row, I expect them to do their best to lift the trophy finally.

But will they be successful? It's hard to predict at this point.

Meanwhile in the Premier League, the competition next season will be much more difficult than this season, it is clear that Aston Villa will most likely not be able to compete in the top four of the standings again.

If a team wins two matches with such a goal difference, then it is no longer luck. 2:4 and 0:2 in each match there was a confident victory with a difference of two goals. If Olympiacos is such a strong team that they can beat Aston Villa like that, then they can win the final. I know that the Conference League is not such a prestigious tournament, but if we are talking about the semi-finals, then at this stage no one will stop for nothing, especially since Aston Villa are doing well in the Premier League and they have secured their place in the Champions League.

I had the opportunity to watch Olympiacos in their two games against Fenerbahçe. I don't think they are a better team than Fiorentina. I predict that Fiorentina will win this cup. The most important advantage for Olympiacos is that the final will be played at the Agia Sophia Stadium in Athens. Greek fans will have the opportunity to support their team intensely. Fiorentina is a team that can overcome such pressures, but if the Greek fans manage to create an extraordinary ambiance, Olympiacos could have a significant advantage. Otherwise, I don't think Olympiacos has a significant chance.

After successfully eliminating teams like Ajax and Lille from the Conference League, of course we don't have a better option than Aston Villa for us to make favorites, but that's the beauty of football when Aston Villa, who are favorites to win the Conference League this season, actually have to lose to teams that are actually struggling to reach the final this season,  Olympiacos were not favourites to reach the final and many of us even thought that their victory over fenerbache in the quarter-finals was just a stroke of luck after a mistake made by fenerbache at that time, but all of that is disputable when we can see how Olympiacos destroyed Aston Villa in the two leg match they played.

Looking at everything that is happening now, of course we are starting to find it difficult to guess who will win the championship trophy this season, Fiorentina has considerable experience in the Conference League so far and even they can repeat last season achievements by successfully playing in the final this season, besides that if we compare, of course, the performance and quality of players owned by Fiorentina are much better than those owned by Olympiakos,  But when Olympiacos manages to beat a strong candidate for the championship this season, of course it will give us a very big dilemma to choose who will be the championsip in the final match later.

[Volgastallion]

The problem is even the bookies dont know who is the favorite, well in fact they ahve one, and is Fiorentina by 2.47 odds but in reality we all know that odds are not a clearly favorite.

For me no one is favorite in this game, and also i dont bet in 90 minutes market, only in the market to become champion, because we can expect extratime in this kind of games.

[Sunderland]

I think I wont bet on any Conference League games anymore, its hard to predict same as the friendly match.
We dont know which team intends to win, even the over under is not easy to predict.

For me no one is favorite in this game, and also i dont bet in 90 minutes market, only in the market to become champion, because we can expect extratime in this kind of games.

Yes it looks like the result will be like that, 1-1 or 2-2 in 90 minutes and the winner will be determined by penalties.

That's why I call it Lottery League! I really don't like at all Conference League and I can't understand how a team like Fiorentina managed to achieve back 2 back finals when in Serie A they are not even in top 6. I also think they will lose back 2 back finals because since Roma won the first session of Conference League , I doubt any other italian team will achieve to win it + Olympiakos are playing on home ground with all their fans and that is a very solid reason to take them as winners.

This match is unpredictable because both teams are not to be underestimated. The club that has the best performance in the match will take that as an advantage to win the match, and I don't think that Fiorentina will want to accept defeat.

Olympiakos is a team that might win the finals because they are strong and have the qualities of winning Fiorentina, but who knows if it will be that easy for them. This is because the Italian teams knows how to ha e good defense which might be a hindrance to Olympiakos.

Maybe the bookmakers are making reference to big name in their previous matches in their domestic leagues which I think is the reason why Fiorentina is having smaller odds; but if we make reference to their names, I think Fiorentina is a big name and it is a team in one of the Europe top five leagues which is Seria A, I am expecting a good performance from them and I think they should be able to defeat Olympiacos even though they have various experience in Europa League, and the Conference League.
