UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[Velvet78]

Feyenoord - Roma was a really balanced game and I think a result like 1-1 is fitting a game like this. Besides I think Roma are one step ahead now as they are going to play home next time. Things are going well for them currently except not doing much good against very strong teams. You know how they lost against Inter a short time ago. 

However here I don't see Feyenoord as an opponent which can manage to eliminate Roma. I expect a similar scenario to the previous ones. Roma would finish the job next time and eliminate Feyenoord the third time in the recent years.    No matter Roma have Mourinho or De Rossi they are still capable to do that.

Ac Milan's performance is difficult to predict, it could be said that it is not good and even tends to be inconsistent. In the Europa League, they won a landslide victory with Rannes and it is certain that AC Milan will qualify for the next round because AC Milan's aggregate is difficult for Rannes to catch in the second leg.

However, if you look at the domestic league, their performance is very bad, especially after losing to a weak team Monza, a painful defeat with four goals conceded, AC Milan's defense is so weak in the domestic league. From the last two matches which were very different for AC Milan, my prediction is that AC Milan's journey in the European League will not reach the final. Maybe AC Milan will only reach the semifinals, because of its unstable performance.

AC Milan has been quite good with their performance in the Europa, they have not been really poor in their performance so far so I wouldn't want to say that they are not a good team or inconsistent because if we are talking about their Europa performance they are really looking promising and I've known that they will be the next big challenge asides Liverpool and Leverkusen.

AC Milans performance in their domestic league is such that you may think they wouldn't do well in the Europa but I think it's now even better that they seem like they have got some focus on the Europa and that's why they want to make sure they perform much more better than they would in their domestic League when playing in the Europa, Rennes may likely not make it to the next rounds on the Europa this season because they will not be able to catch up with Milan and probably ahead if they must stay in the race.

Honestly, if you look at Roma today, they have managed to improve and become a little better in the De Rossi era. Although they have a lot to thank Mourinho for the legacy he left for the team, both trophies and the depth of the current squad. De Rossi is a breath of fresh air for Roma fans, he understands the club well because he is a club legend.

On the other hand, I agree that the opportunity for Roma to escape the play-off route and advance to the round of 16 is very open. The second leg will benefit Roma because they will act as hosts. Feyenoord cannot be considered weak, because the clubs in the European League have a habit of creating surprises that we never expected.

Even though Roma lose when facing big teams, they can gain points when facing weaker clubs like Fresinone. This victory is an asset to restore the players confidence and mentality, so that when they host Feyenoord, De Rossi and his fleet will play with good motivation.

What Legacy? Could that have been Jose Mourinho winning the  UEFA European Conference League Competition? That's just history made and memories created.
First season was also not good enough, he was only back because he was able to win them the Conference Cup Competition.

They just drew to Feyenoord and it'll be a strong second leg,  I do believe even with Jose Mourinho that they can defeat the Dutch side and club but De Rossi fits this one.
Rossi has a good understanding of the Italian Seria A, keys see what they can achieve and how far they could go.

AC Milan has been quite good with their performance in the Europa, they have not been really poor in their performance so far so I wouldn't want to say that they are not a good team or inconsistent because if we are talking about their Europa performance they are really looking promising and I've known that they will be the next big challenge asides Liverpool and Leverkusen.

Stefano Pioli will try his best to balance AC Milan in the European League with Serie A. The chances of AC Milan winning the Scudetto are very low, while Inter Milan is still very consistent with its performance. This means that AC Milan will focus more on the Europa League because that is the most realistic for now, the challenge is clear that realizing this ambition is not easy. Liverpool and Leverkusen appeared more impressive than AC Milan, but seeing that AC Milan reputation in Serie A is now starting to return to its best form, in my opinion they also deserve to be included in the list of favorite teams.

AC Milan reputation in European competitions is no longer in doubt, and unfortunately this season they had to be eliminated early in the Champions League group phase because they were in the Hell group. To qualify for the round of 16 and beat Rennes for the second time, AC Milan has the complete attributes to do it. Stefano Pioli must put aside rumors of his replacement as manager, he must fully focus on bringing Milan to the trophy.

[Furious 7]

With Roma drawing the first leg it was still a good thing but when it comes to probabilities I think it remains the same when it comes to who will qualify for the Round of 16.
Indeed, in leg 2 at this time Roma do benefit because they will play home in the match later but it also cannot be a guarantee that they will be able to win easily because after all their opponents are Feyenoord, which of course we certainly know in terms of performance and the strength of the team is still very similar to Roma at this time.

Looking at their h2h in the last few matches they are still quite balanced and Roma's advantage is only playing home for Leg 2.
I think with the current conditions of the two clubs it will still be very difficult to say with great certainty who will qualify in the play offs this time.

What you say is true but home matches sometimes give more hope especially when they play with thousands of fanatical supporters then this can provide tremendous pressure for the away team and it could happen in this match.

Indeed, in terms of current strength, there is actually not too much difference between these two clubs because after all, from the performance on the field and the strength of their teams, they are not too far away, it's just that the home match factor can be a differentiating situation in this case.

Although there is no guarantee if in the end Roma cannot win, but with the ambition possessed by De Rosi at this time I think he will be able to control this match even though his condition is quite complicated because it continues to be glimpsed considering he is someone new in the world of coaching.

Therefore I say their advantage is only based on home matches, besides that there is nothing that Roma can excel at, because in terms of the game and the performance of the two clubs they are still quite equal, there is no difference that can really be made that Roma can win in this match.

But on the other hand, surely Roma will try to get a victory in the match later because after all now De Rosi is being demanded to be a good successor to Mourinho's replacement and qualify for the Europa League Round of 16 phase of course it is a very good thing for them.

But indeed things like this are not easy we know what Feyenoord's game in the first leg was like and I think for the second leg they will definitely play more insistent than before because after all this is a decisive match before they start the round of 16.

With Roma drawing the first leg it was still a good thing but when it comes to probabilities I think it remains the same when it comes to who will qualify for the Round of 16.
Indeed, in leg 2 at this time Roma do benefit because they will play home in the match later but it also cannot be a guarantee that they will be able to win easily because after all their opponents are Feyenoord, which of course we certainly know in terms of performance and the strength of the team is still very similar to Roma at this time.

Looking at their h2h in the last few matches they are still quite balanced and Roma's advantage is only playing home for Leg 2.
I think with the current conditions of the two clubs it will still be very difficult to say with great certainty who will qualify in the play offs this time.

The second leg match provides a greater opportunity for Roma to achieve victory because playing at the Olimpico Stadium, of course the situation will be in their favor, such as fan support and they must be able to take advantage of that to be able to achieve victory. Roma must look at the opportunities they have this season, meaning they only have one chance to win a trophy and that is only the European League, so they have to try as hard as possible in the second leg to win.

Their opponent is indeed a great team but Roma will play at home and that makes them the strongest candidate to win this match. De Rossi must be able to make the fans happy if he succeeds in bringing Roma to beat Feyenoord in the second leg. Previously, Roma also had good capital for this match because Roma managed to win the match with a big score when facing Frosinone.

As i said earlier although it is a thing that is not wrong because playing home will give more strength but in the end such a thing is only a probability that can be obtained if their performance is smooth but it is still uncertain whether in the end De Rosi can or not maintain the consistency they have. Facing club whose level is smaller in domestic competitions they are indeed quite visible differences but on the other hand this is also still not a guarantee that De Rosi is more able to bring Roma to a better direction because however sometimes there are some condition that can cause changes that are very pronounced in terms of increase and decrease in performance.

AC Milan started the current season on a very good note especially in the Italian Serie A as they were leading the league table some time earlier in the season but unfortunately for them, they couldn't keep up with their impressive performance at the start of the season for long. They suddenly began to lose games they were expected to win which was why they went from one of the serious contenders for the Italian Serie A title to become a club that's now struggling to finish in the top four of the Italian Serie A table.

It was their inconsistent performance in the league that made the club not to qualify from their group in the UEFA Champions League but was lucky to find themselves in the UEFA Europa League knockout stages after finishing third in the group F of the UEFA Champions League. Their 3:0 convincing win against Rennes last week I think puts them in a very good position to finish reach the round of 16 of the competition this Thursday. Rennes without doubt will want to prove that they're also one of the best teams in the Europa League but I don't think they're ever gonna stop AC Milan from progressing to the next round of the competition

[hahay]

I think Feyenoord will be beaten in the second leg against AS Roma because AS Roma is in an advantageous position as hosts. Apart from that, AS Roma also has more experience in competitions like this so I think they can overcome Feyenoord. The situation might be different if Feyenoord win the first leg like when they beat Lazio in the Champions League, but unfortunately they didn't.

AS Roma is good at football and has more experience playing in big games. But in football anything can happen. Feyenoord has surprised people before like when they beat Lazio in the Champions League. The result of a game doesn't just depend on past games or playing at home. Feyenoord will try their best in the next game and might win. Don't forget that Feyenoord's players are determined and skilled so they could beat AS Roma.

Basically Feyenoord is not a completely weak team so yes, even though Feyenoord managed to beat Lazio I don't think it was a surprising result either. Unless, if Feyenoord is a completely weak team then it could be a surprise but anyway, the fact is that Feyenoord is still a team that has a quality that is not much different when compared to Lazio. But yes, regarding Feyenoord chances in the Europa League this time because in the first leg Feyenoord failed to beat AS Roma then yes, at least Feyenoord no longer has a good chance because in the second leg later also Feyenoord will play away. After all, basically AS Roma still has a better quality squad compared to Feyenoord so yes, with moments like this I am also confident that AS Roma will succeed in qualifying for the next round by beating Feyenoord in the second leg later.

Feyenoord still has a chance to defeat AS Roma but of course it's not easy we know AS Roma always understands how to handle European teams who come to their home because they already have enough experience well, then can Feyenoord give a surprise or even the opposite? we will see the results this week. I personally continue to favorite AS Roma as the winner with all the advantages and actually the performance of AS Roma recently been impressive they won 4 times of 5 matches just lost once.

There is no reason that we claim Feyenoord is a weak team. This team is quite strong, they are actually capable to beat AS Roma if they played with their best lineup. If we analyzed the first Leg against AS Roma, Feyenoord was clearly more dominating the match. They made more shot attempts and they won the ball possessions. With having many young players, Feyenoord could play very energic and offensively during the match. So, Feyenoord also has a quality squad that are capable to beat AS Roma.

Well, you can said AS Roma to have a better squad quality because they have some famous players. Meanwhile Feyenoord has most unpopular players in their squad. However, the players' popularity doesn't guarantee anything. Although Feyenoord has no popular players, it doesn't mean that have no chance to beat AS Roma.

AC Milan managed to win the home match in the first leg with score of 3 - 0 over Rennes and this was match with quite landslide aggregate, the opportunity for AC Milan to qualify for the next round is really very big.
In the second leg match, AC Milan will play away from home and it is clear that Rennes has the advantage in this second leg match, but to be able to get 4 goal advantage is very difficult for Rennes.
Even though Rennes can win, I sure that in this match they will not be able to win absolutely against AC Milan, which clearly already has an aggregate of 3 points, Rennes will eventually be eliminated from the competition.
AC Milan may not appear very consistent in the Serie A competition, especially today they lost embarrassingly against Monza, which is lower middle class team.
But for the Europa League, I can still be quite confident that AC Milan will be able to give the best results and be one of the team that will qualify for the next round.

In the second leg which will be held at home to Rennes, AC Milan only needs a draw and that alone is enough for Milan.  yeah, Milan will qualify for the next phase. In the first leg, Milan won the match with an aggregate of 3 goals. In the second leg match, Stefano Pioli will just make sure his team doesn't lose even though they don't have to win the match. just a draw is enough for Milan. After all, Milan is a strong team in this competition and has a big name, Milan is filled with players who are above the level of the Rennes players.

Quite the opposite, with an aggregate difference of 3 goals. the home team must go all out, giving everything they do, in order to achieve their targets and goals.
Unfortunately, it's not that easy to overthrow AC Milan. So, AC Milan's probability of qualifying for the next stage is very wide open. for Rennes, it is not an easy job. Moreover, theoretically, Rennes needs 4 goals without reply to qualify for the last 16 of the Europa League. well, something that is difficult to achieve even though in football anything can happen. referring to the betting market for the time being, bookies do not favor either of these two teams. which means, if the odds do not change until the match is held. My estimate for now is that this match has the potential to end in a draw. So, as I said, AC Milan only needs a draw and that alone is enough for Stefano Pioli's team.

[dezoel]

It is no shocker that Roma has been decent recently and that is why people see them as the bigger chance to win. I am not saying that they will, all I am saying is that it is not impossible for them to get that win, and betting on them to get that win doesn't seem too stupid. I hope that you could consider the situation changing and if they are missing any players or something happens, but at the time it looks like they will get that win.

Milan may actually end up losing, not because they are worse, but because it's obvious that they will play defensive, and not attack too much, they got an easy win anyway, so no need to attack and score, hence why defensive strategy will be the way to go, even if they lose 1-0 or 2-0 then they still go up.

[shogun47]

A few weeks ago I thought that Feyenoord would be a slight favorite, but times have changed and they are playing much better at the moment. It was about a 50:50 game in the Netherlands with a little more advantage for Feyenoord. And really apart from the game against Inter Milan, which I think is ok to lose as they are so far ahead from everyone else in the Serie A, Roma has played some strong games with lots of goals and a few clean sheets as well. They have certainly improved by a lot, which I find surprising as their last coach wasn't just any coach, but Mourinho who couldn't find the right answers to the problems they were struggling with.

Actually to some persons feyenoord was like their favorite but then it was a 50:50 chances just like you did stated there was no certainty as to who could be the possible winner of the game because both teams weren't like weak team but average teams.

In the Netherlands league, feyenoord isn't doing really poor and their performance is such that I'm expecting they will be able to do something good within the Europa league this season even if they will not be able to win but then Roma is currently doing well too so it definitely going to be a tough one for them if they will be able to get beyond the stage they are now and get to the next stage of the league. Rossi wants to prove he's a good  Coach and will give his best to this league.

It is indeed far from over, but I think Roma has some momentum in front of their home crowd that Feyenoord then of course doesn't have. There is an immense motivation for Roma to turn this season into something positive because it is still possible. The erratic performances didn't only get to Mourinho, but also to the players and the fans and now they got some mental strength and the pleasure in playing great soccer and the desire for big results back. A few weeks ago nobody saw Roma getting on their way back to become a relatively good team, but now they are.

I'll not place any wager on AS Roma because that's an unwise decision to take. It's so surprising not to see AS Roma taking home glory, they stand in balance position but are failing in both Seria A and Europa. What's actually going on with the club? Roma can only struggle in the first leg, but it doesn't mean they should fight in the second leg against some random mediocre team that doesn't even stand a 50/50 chances of thrashing their opponents. AS Roma strives for best results, we ought to understand this scenario by now.

Even though Milan is stronger than Rennes, I will bet on Rennes winning in the second leg. As you said with a 3-0 lead I think Milan will try to rotate their players and rest some of their core players. This is done to provide experience to substitute players and to maintain player fitness. So Milan will play defensively in the second leg. They have no problem if they lose 0-1 or 0-2. Because in my opinion it is impossible for Rennes to score more than 2 goals against Milan who use defensive tactics.

Feyenoord is not an ordinary team, they are a strong team that is worth considering and what Roma did in the first leg by successfully holding Feyenoord to a draw at home was a big advantage.
I think Roma is worth betting on because their percentage of winning this Second Leg in front of their own fans is very high.

And for AC MIlan I think there is no doubt, they have won the first leg with Agg 3 goals so it is almost certain that they will advance to the next round.

I will go for milan. Even though milan's perfornmance is still underperform. Im still believing that if milan will able to play differently in the second leg. The first lag was a big success for milan but the second leg may be another hard match for milan. Rennes was not dominating the game in the first leg.
Milan will come back stronger soon. I don't really care how big the score will be, as long as milan win the game and that's enough for me. Acmilan has very big potential to make it happen. Milan can qualify to the UCL through domestic league coz it's still at the top 4 but winning europa league will give different feels.
So, pioli needs to fully analize it. I meant that if the fact that pioli is still performing quite well. The final decision was on him. Im only hoping some attackers of milan will able to play in the next leg.
Rennes was not a strong team and it will be quite easy for milan to destroy it once again. Let's see how good the journey of milan in europa league. It's saddened me to see imlan dropped from UCL but europa league can at least become a way to avoid being trophyless this season.
Pulisic and giroud, these players must be coming back to play in the squad again.

[bering]

I think the draw result at Shakhtar home ground is a bit favourable for Marseille because for second leg they will have good chances to win the match and not required to win with big scores because Marseille only required to win with narrow score 1-0 and although Marseille conditions is not really good currently but i think to beat Shakhtar is not really hard for them and just like i said before Marseille home matches records during group stages is very good because from 3 matches total Marseille still unbeatable with gets 2 wins and 1 draw

Yesterday Marseille indeed have to sacked Gattuso because under him Marseille have no good progress and until today Marseille still not announce yet who is the replacement of Gattuso but i think in the next few days Marseille with gets new manager however i know Marseille has facing serious internal problem but i think it won't have any affect for their performance against Shakhtar later because i still confident Marseille will be able to overcomes Shakhtar and recently i have checked the odds between them and i can see the bookmakers placing Marseille as the favourite with odds @1.72 and for betting option i think pick for Marseille win is good choice because my predictions is Marseille will being an the winner of this match and they will advances to the round of 16

[Oneandpure]

AC Milan has been quite good with their performance in the Europa, they have not been really poor in their performance so far so I wouldn't want to say that they are not a good team or inconsistent because if we are talking about their Europa performance they are really looking promising and I've known that they will be the next big challenge asides Liverpool and Leverkusen.

AC Milans performance in their domestic league is such that you may think they wouldn't do well in the Europa but I think it's now even better that they seem like they have got some focus on the Europa and that's why they want to make sure they perform much more better than they would in their domestic League when playing in the Europa, Rennes may likely not make it to the next rounds on the Europa this season because they will not be able to catch up with Milan and probably ahead if they must stay in the race.

Bad result in domestic league seems not much problem for AC Milan for facing second leg match of Europe League playoff round against Rennes, managed over 3-0 on first leg I think very difficult for Nantes to lead over 4 goals on second leg match although will play in their home. I think more promising for AC Milan qualify to Europe League round 16 and waiting the potential opponent teams such as Bayern Leverkusen or they will face Liverpool are strong candidate teams for winning Europe League season 2023/24.

For second leg match prediction seems AC Milan has chance for winning second leg match but its difficult scoring over three goals and more close with Milan opportunity manage above one or two goals only.

Watching the previous performance of Rissoneri, do they deserve a spot in the Europa League? They should because they keep chanelling their energy to this top tournament and absolutely forgers about their competitive race for the scudetto. Stefano Pioli should enchanced his strategy, that's one of the basic principles to keep pushing his team to glory. However they got hits by bad news this season, AC Milan dropped form in their domestic Seria A match, they couldn't dugged out an important win against Monza and at the end of the day, they got humiliated with scores of 4-2.

[hahay]

Yes indeed, because Milan have won with a very good score in the first leg with a final score of 3-0, of course these results will make Milan play more relaxed in the second leg later. But, although Milan are likely to play more relaxed, I'm sure that doesn't mean Milan will play all the second-tier players. Indeed, rotation will still be done but still, Milan will also still play more of its main players compared to second-tier players. Because in European competition sometimes big surprises can also happen, so to anticipate such surprises, then at least Milan will still play more main players than second-tier players. Because indeed, considering also Milan will play with a difficult opponent in Serie A after the second leg later, then I believe Milan will reduce its intensity and only rely on the aggregate victory it has.
