UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[wakier]

Real Betis will probably qualify from Group C. This team is in form now. They performed well against Real Madrid in the last match and managed to draw the match 1-1. A draw against Rangers will qualify them for the next round.
Real Betis will play at home against Rangers. Real Betis are strong at home despite losing the away match 1-0. I predict this match will be a 1-1 draw.
A win against Roma side Sheriff Tiraspol in Group G means they have little chance of going top of the table. Because Slavia Praha doesn't seem to lose their last match against Servette.

Real Betis should have the chance to qualify for the next round. But I'm not really sure about this because Real Betis performance looks not really in a very good form lately. In La Liga, they mostly got draw results in the last 5 matches, they only won 2 matches. However, their performance is good enough because they never got a defeat in the last 5 matches. If we analyze their matches in Europa League so far, Real Betis was defeated by Rangers in matchday 1. But it was in Rangers home, Rangers also just won with a single match. So, Rangers may be lucky in the first match of the group stage. In the upcoming match, the situation will be different. The match will be held in Real Betis home, so Real Betis will get the advantage. So, we can assume Real Betis is possible to win the match, they will try to optimize the advantage laying at their own stadium.

Even though a draw is not a good result, at least Betis did not suffer a defeat. Betis' home games have been quite good this season and have not experienced defeat at home so far in matches in Laliga and the European League, however, Betis has had more draws, namely 8D from 16 appearances. in Laliga, but at least they didn't completely lose points but Betis is more likely to maximize a draw than a defeat and so far they have only suffered 4 defeats in all competitions.

This match is very important if in the end Rangers can win this match then Betis has no chance of qualifying for the next round so Betis must try hard to beat Rangers in this match.

Current Group C standings of Europe League still have three teams get the same chance for qualifying to next round, Real Betis on the first standings still not secure with their chance to next round depend on last match result. Actually get one point enough for Betis secure one place on 16 round and manage top position although Sparta Praha win over Aris Limassol, seems Rangers not has many option except have to win on last match against Real Betis but if draw or loss their position depend on Sparta Praha match.
Real Betis on good capital after getting draw against Real Madrid on domestic league they are confidence performance against Rangers, I think easily for Betis secure one or three points to set one place in 16 round actually playing on their home will make easily for Real Betis defeat Rangers and lock the top place of Group C.

I don't know why you say Roma deserved to win more than Sevilla. I think Sevilla played much better than other teams last season. By the way, now Roma is not guaranteed to stay in the Europa League. It may happen that they will play the knockout matches.

There is no need to compare the team's performance last season, after all everyone knows who won the Europa League trophy last season. Sevilla performance this season has been very disappointing, there is no hope for this team to win any titles this season. Roma is still in the Europa League, there is no guarantee that this team can survive longer.
Their inconsistent performance means their chances are very small, when they meet strong teams like Liverpool or Bayer Leverkusen, they will experience difficulties. I don't expect anything from Roma, they are still far behind Liverpool and Leverkusen in maintaining their performance this season.

[makishart]

Favoring Sevilla to win UEFA Europa League has become a common sense, even though they are/were not considered the best team in the competition. They say that Sevilla is specialist of UEFA Europa League, because they always struggle in Champions League, even in the group stage with weaker teams, but they could win UEFA Europa League for a few times. Their track record in the competition showcases a deep understanding of its dynamics.

It's clear that you see Sevilla's history in the UEL as a significant advantage. While Liverpool is favorited as a potential winner, the recognition that they have work ahead of them shows the competitiveness and challenges inherent in the tournament. If Sevilla qualify for the Knock out satge of UEFA Europa League, I think of four teams who will have big chance to win. They are Liverpool, Leverkusen, Roma and Sevilla. I hope all these four will reach semi-final to make the climax of the competition more excited.

It wasn't really all that normal for them to win the last years europa neither, and to be fair Roma deserved it, we all know Roma did deserve it, and we all know that the referee just gave the game to Sevilla, but even the fact that they were at the finals beating all those bigger clubs was fantastic for them as well.

I do not think that they will come down this season though, they have lost their chance and I doubt they can manage to get in at the last game, it would not be all that good for europa neither, we should see a season without them and see what could happen. My mind can't really accept a situation where they face Liverpool and go on and beat them, it's like some sort of glitch or bug in a game when Sevilla plays at Europa.

I don't know why you say Roma deserved to win more than Sevilla. I think Sevilla played much better than other teams last season. By the way, now Roma is not guaranteed to stay in the Europa League. It may happen that they will play the knockout matches.

Last season is last season and sevilla is playing horribly now compared to the last season. Roma deserves more chance to win if they will be facing each other. Im sure that roma will be doing better compared to the last season once it was failed to beat sevilla at the final. Sevilla deserves to win the trophy last season caused by as you said that above if it has been showing incredible performance compared to the its opponent. This is the main problem owned by the club.

As you can see that how sevilla is going out from the UCL now and it may not also come down to the europa league like last season. There would be no more strong competitor to win europa league right now.

The king of europa league was not able to qualify for the europa league due to the finish at the 4th place of its UCL group. This is pretty bad achievements by sevilla.
I mean if people shall also aware about how bad sevilla is right now. The story of last season told us the importance thing to be learned.

[Volgastallion]

I dont bet so much on 1x2 markets in europena competitions, in Champions League maybe, but in the lower ones like Europa League and Coference no, because sometimes a weak or little team make a surprise and destroy your bet, or for worst your multibet.

Real Betis performance is not very good I know that too. But this is a do-or-die match. At the same time, even if this match is drawn, Real Betis will qualify for the next round, so I am favouring Real Betis. Real Betis' attack is a bit weak. So they are playing a defensive strategy. And the team has drawn in 8 matches in the La Liga. Real Betis managed to draw against the powerful Madrid in the last match. And so Betis players will be confident in this match as well. For these reasons, my guess is that the match will be a draw or Real Betis will win. Real Betis has a low chance of losing. Real Betis' defenders have performed well in Europa League matches. In 5 matches they scored 7 goals and conceded 4 goals.

The fact that this match is a do-or-die situation adds extra pressure for Betis. The emphasis on Real Betis playing a defensive strategy, due to perceived weaknesses in their attack, makes sense in a high-stakes match, but it also can backfire them because it can give Rangers bigger spaces to build attacks. Psychological factor can play a significant role in a team's their performance. This is why seeking a draw sometime adds more nerve-wracking situation.

The emphasis of Real Betis have a strong defensive performance in Europa League matches further supports the possibility of a positive outcome for them. But Betis need to prevent Rangers build flawless attacks toward their defense. In knockout competitions, anything can happen, and Real Betis' low chance of losing, as per your assessment, adds an interesting dynamic to the anticipation of the match.

Roma still has 1 match left if Roma can win this match then Roma can go to the next round but with the hope that Slavia Prague will not win the match over Servette, but Roma's condition is also not good I have said previously in the Italian League thread that Roma has lost 2 important players namely Dybala due to injury and Romelu Lukaku due to receiving a red card during the match against Fiorentina so I really hope that Roma can appear impressive in the match against Sheriff when Romelu Lukaku and Dybala are not in the team.

However, Slavia Prague is also fighting to qualify for the next round. They only need a draw to lock them into qualifying for the group stage.
Matchday 6 will be a very interesting match for Slavia Prague and Roma in fighting for their position in first place, I'm really looking forward to this match.

When you depend on another team to win their game in order to go up, it's not that easy to handle it all. I think it's quite obvious that Roma deserves it, they are a good team and they should be up, they could provide some good billing for other teams, it's not always that easy to decide if you want an easier opponent or a harder one, it all depends how much harder and Roma should be fine.

The issue with Europa this season is that people are looking at just one team, Liverpool, who is nearly as good as getting the premier league, so when there is a big team like that at the cup, nobody really questions who others play like and that's the issue, when you have something like that going on, it's not really easy to handle anything else or focus on another team, I get that some people do, but it's not that easy and I think I am going to be one of those people and do not really look at other teams and just bet on Liverpool to win their game, that's it.

I don't know why you say Roma deserved to win more than Sevilla. I think Sevilla played much better than other teams last season. By the way, now Roma is not guaranteed to stay in the Europa League. It may happen that they will play the knockout matches.

AS Roma is certain to remain in the UEL despite the absence of any serious threats within the club. If José Mourinho continues to remain interested in winning matches, he must work on his team. AS Roma is in Group G and is presently second in the standings. Knockout matches have an equal chance of winning or losing the position, regardless of whether the club is elite or mediocre. AS Roma can be the untouchable club in the Europa League, but only if they can keep their winning streak going and no stopping.

Roma still has 1 match left if Roma can win this match then Roma can go to the next round but with the hope that Slavia Prague will not win the match over Servette, but Roma's condition is also not good I have said previously in the Italian League thread that Roma has lost 2 important players namely Dybala due to injury and Romelu Lukaku due to receiving a red card during the match against Fiorentina so I really hope that Roma can appear impressive in the match against Sheriff when Romelu Lukaku and Dybala are not in the team.

As long as roma can win the last game and it will secure a spot to go to the last 16. The last game will not be a difficult game for roma. It will be facing sheriff which is a weak team. As roma is also having pretty good odds tough.
The chance owned by roma to win the game is very big and i would like to pick it caused by i have taken slavia praha to win the different game too. These games will not be a difficult game for roma and slavia praha. Roma needs to win the game to qualify for the next stage.
I think roma can do that caused by it has so many competence players in the club. Sheriff has been unfavored by the bookies caused by we do know that how bad the performance from the club in the previous leg.

However, Slavia Prague is also fighting to qualify for the next round. They only need a draw to lock them into qualifying for the group stage.
Matchday 6 will be a very interesting match for Slavia Prague and Roma in fighting for their position in first place, I'm really looking forward to this match.

It will not a tough game for slavia praha. I remind you that if praha is even stronger than roma. Im feeling so confidence to pick it rather than its opponent.
The level of praha is still above roma. It will not be a difficult match for roma and praha to beat their opponents. Roma and praha will be going to the next round.

At least, Sevilla performance last season also is very bad but somehow Sevilla managed in the Europa League last season and got a ticket to play in the Champions League again this season.But ya,at this moment at least Sevilla still has a chance like last season, at least to finish in third place in the Champions League group stage, and then Sevilla can returns to playing in the Europa League.

But ya, indeed, even if for example Sevilla managed to finish in third place in the Champions League group stage and return to play in the Europa League in the knockout phase later. I am sure, that Sevilla will not be able to repeat its success like last season because ya, this season the European League also has very good title candidates such as Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen. Even, I think, the quality of Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen at this time, seems to be still better than the teams that are in the Champion League this moment.

It will not a tough game for slavia praha. I remind you that if praha is even stronger than roma. Im feeling so confidence to pick it rather than its opponent.
The level of praha is still above roma. It will not be a difficult match for roma and praha to beat their opponents. Roma and praha will be going to the next round.

Yes, in terms of player performance, these two clubs are still superior to Slavia Prague and it is very possible that they will be able to beat Servette, but the problem is that even though Roma is still below Slavia prague, Roma opponent is a club that is not too strong, so Roma will also find it little easier to win against Sheriff.
Even though both clubs both won, Slavia Prague will still qualify for the next round.
On the one hand, Roma performance very superior to Sheriff and during his time at UEL, Sheriff has never won, even his best finish is just a draw, which means that Sheriff will be very easily defeated by Roma and one side of Roma is competing at home, so the opportunity to win is very big and for I can predict that Roma will win and qualify for the play-off round.
Mourinho can still rely on Lukaku and I am sure that with Lukaku help Roma can get additional points to maintain their position so they can continue to compete in next round.

[Mame89]

Liverpool is a very bright club that has a lot of good and quality players, even though there may be some ups and down on there performance sometimes but they are very impressive in times of there performance that's why they were able to maintain the same performance on there leagues, they are leading on Europa League at the same time leading on there premier league table, actually they have created a good record for themselves this season.

Yes, Liverpool has changed a lot lately and always performs well in every match, so it's not surprising that they are able to lead the EPL and European League standings. I think behind the strong defense and the ferocity of the front line is more due to the recovery of Liverpool's midfield strength. Especially if in the transfer market they succeed in bringing in another central defender and another wing defender, plus another midfielder who can play as DM. I'm sure they can win the EPL and European leagues with the players they have now.

But however I would love if Liverpool will meet Bayern Leverkusen maybe on there final because if they should meet each other now is actually going to be a serious tough match that can hardly be predicted.

Yes, of course if these two teams met in the final, this would be an ideal final. With a note that they don't meet each other in the semifinals because I also hope they will meet in the final later.

Liverpool's squad is quite strong. And when compared to all the other squads in the Europa League, it can be seen that Liverpool's squad is the strongest. And Liverpool have the potential to win the Europa League title. But Klopp's main goal is to win the Premier League title. And then he will probably want to win the Europa League title.

We often see that top tier clubs are not interested in winning the Europa League title. However, since the Liverpool team failed to win any title in the last few seasons, they will probably be interested in winning the Europa League title this season. However, whether Klopp is interested in the Europa League will be understood by Liverpool's performance in the knockout matches.

But ya, indeed, even if for example Sevilla managed to finish in third place in the Champions League group stage and return to play in the Europa League in the knockout phase later.

Even, I think, the quality of Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen at this time, seems to be still better than the teams that are in the Champion League this moment.

Last season, Sevilla is not favorite team for winning UEFA Europe League trophy because have Arsenal and Manchester United with quit well performance on their domestic league, but Sevilla success destroy all predictor although not as favorite team success become the winner. Their performance in domestic league last season not quit well and almost relegated to La Liga 2 before last winning match and help them with finish few points difference from relegation teams.

For this season have difference with Sevilla not only bad performance in domestic league but also they can't win one match yet in Champion league group stage, difficult to qualify on Europe League regarding current match until first half Sevilla still get draw against Lens. Left 45 minutes later will Sevilla success win or their dreaming back to Europe League gone.

[QueenVera]

Sevilla's performance is really messy, both in the Domestic League and in the Champions League. of the 5 matches they played, they won none of them. 2 draws, 3 losses. On matchday six, this match will be played at Lens headquarters. while Lens is also no better than Sevilla. The difference is, they were able to win 1 match when they overthrew Arsenal. Lens also has a pretty good record compared to Sevilla when playing home games.
Referring to the odds presented, Lens is more favored by bookmakers. It's natural, after all Lens is playing in front of their own supporters. especially if I refer to the Sevilla squad, they have many players who are injured, suspended and several other players whose status is doubtful. which means, Sevilla will have a very tough match even though their opponent is Lens. So it's clear that I have a lot of doubts if Sevilla will be able to beat Lens when they visit France.

On the Lens side, if they do not qualify for the next round. meaning, they will maintain their ranking in third place. Lens only need a draw, that way they will get a ticket to the Europa League playoffs. So, let's see which teams will appear in this competition even though they have to go through the playoffs first.

Sevilla has real had a poor start this season but domestically and in Europe and now they’re hanging in the balance of going to Europa League and they need all 3 points when they travel to France. Now Lens are in similar situation but Lens seem not to have much a worry especially when you judge from their home performance this season; Lens needs just a point to go through to the Europa League. What a tough battle it’ll be when both teams sets out to play for 90 minutes.

 Well Arsenal have secured their place in this group, and Sevilla could turn up on this final day and head straight to their favorite competition, Europa League and probably start to regain their from the Round of 32, like they normally do in previous seasons, if it happens that way then I'll consider then one of the potential winners or finalist of the UEL tournament.

[hahay]

It will not a tough game for slavia praha. I remind you that if praha is even stronger than roma. Im feeling so confidence to pick it rather than its opponent.
The level of praha is still above roma. It will not be a difficult match for roma and praha to beat their opponents. Roma and praha will be going to the next round.

Yes, in terms of player performance, these two clubs are still superior to Slavia Prague and it is very possible that they will be able to beat Servette, but the problem is that even though Roma is still below Slavia Prague, Roma's opponent is a club that is not too strong, so Roma will also find it a little easier to win against Sheriff.
Even though both clubs both won, Slavia Prague will still qualify for the next round.

I don't think Slavia Prague have level above AS Roma because yes, I don't think it's just about Slavia Prague will winning the group and then Slavia Prague being level above AS Roma. Because anyway, basically AS Roma is an elite team when compared to Slavia Prague and therefore, even though AS Roma only became the group runner up, but I can't assume that Slavia Prague has a level above AS Roma.

But yes, regarding their last match I think it is also clear, that Slavia Prague and AS Roma will still get full points, because Slavia Prague and AS Roma will only play with teams that do not have good results in this group. Indeed, at least AS Roma still has a chance to win the group but with a note, Slavia Prague lost and AS Roma won. But ya, it looks like such a scenario will not happen, because of course Slavia Prague will also try to keep winning in its last match later against Servette.

[Swordsoffreedom]

It will not a tough game for slavia praha. I remind you that if praha is even stronger than roma. Im feeling so confidence to pick it rather than its opponent.
The level of praha is still above roma. It will not be a difficult match for roma and praha to beat their opponents. Roma and praha will be going to the next round.

But ya, it looks like such a scenario will not happen, because of course Slavia Prague will also try to keep winning in its last match later against Servette.

We have no  doubt that Roma is a better team  than Slavia Prague. However  Slavia Prague has played very  well in this year's Europa League. Out of 5 matches they have won 4 matches. And  in these 5 matches they scored 13  goals and conceded 4 goals. There is no way to underestimate this team. Slavia Prague's  only defeat in this year's Europa League  was against Roma. In the last match, Servette  has to face Slavia  Prague. Slavia Prague is  likely to win this match as well.

But I would have  been happy  if Roma could have qualified  for the next  round. The Roma team is very strong this season. If they can qualify for the knockout round, I believe this team will also be able to qualify  for the semi-finals.

[marcous]

Sevilla failed to progress to the play off route to continue their progress to the Europa League this season. The defeat they received against Lens made them sink to the bottom of group B with only collecting 2 points, which really worsened their fate this season. as the most respected club in the European League, Sevilla has failed miserably in European competition at the moment, and it looks like they will also be absent next season.

Next we will see the fate of the teams in group A, group C and group D. Which of them will advance to the play off route, but I hope there is Man United on the list, which means it will make the Europa League even more interesting.

Returning to the beginning, Sevilla absence would certainly be good news for any favorite team, such as Liverpool, Laverkusen or Roma. because we know that when Sevilla plays in the Europa League, their strength and mentality is like Madrid who competes in the UCL. so it's only fitting that Sevilla absence will provide a greater opportunity for any team to talk a lot in the future.

[Roseline492]

Liverpool is a very bright club that has a lot of good and quality players, even though there may be some ups and down on there performance sometimes but they are very impressive in times of there performance that's why they were able to maintain the same performance on there leagues, they are leading on Europa League at the same time leading on there premier league table, actually they have created a good record for themselves this season.

Yes, Liverpool has changed a lot lately and always performs well in every match, so it's not surprising that they are able to lead the EPL and European League standings. I think behind the strong defense and the ferocity of the front line is more due to the recovery of Liverpool's midfield strength. Especially if in the transfer market they succeed in bringing in another central defender and another wing defender, plus another midfielder who can play as DM. I'm sure they can win the EPL and European leagues with the players they have now.

Yeah Liverpool has greatly improve a lot lately unlike there performance early this season when they were finding it a bit difficult to perform but however it was quite fortunate for them to have realized themselves on  the areas they were having challenges with, and also I never imagine they will be able to lead on the premier league table again after Arsenal and Manchester City was on the first and second position on the table but Liverpool manages to push themselves all the way from the third position to the first position they are now on the premier league table.

Actually there performance this season is very impressive  and I'm very sure that Liverpool is going to go home with one of the trophy this season because there efforts and performance really deserve it, so if they miss the opportunity of wining the premier League I believe that Europa League will not miss them.

[temple]

I actually think that both of the teams are going to go for the win in this match. And that is going to open up more chances for the other team to score. And that is also going to make both teams prone to mistakes. In my opinion. They are going to leave gaps in the defense. So I think there is going to be a winner in this match. But I am not sure which team is going to win. And the reason is what @tusandii said, both of them have equal performances at this point. So it is going to be hard to choose a winner. But I am definitely expecting a winner.

Going all out is of course more enjoyable for the fans if there are lots of attempts and goals, but leaving that aside I think Brighton has been more prone to errors recently than they have been last season, so I expect a couple of goals in this game. And there is nothing to lose really here, Brighton can only win. A draw doesn't help them and it doesn't matter how many goals they concede, so why not go all out and aim for the defeat no matter at what cost. They can launch some spectacular games as they have shown in other matches. This could be another one.

Man Utd and Sevilla's absence from the Europa league this season is a huge boost to Liverpool's campaign to win our first Europa league title under Klopp. I would've loved to have them joined the UEL but both teams did miserably in the champions league, enough for them not to get a ticket to the Europa for third place.

Hopefully Klopp and Liverpool don't underestimate the teams that will be joining the knockout stage this season. If anything, the Europa league title is looking more like Liverpool's should we continue to deliver top tier performances.
