which of this match is your favourite

[Hyphen(-)]

Slavia Prague played very well away at Milan... They had a lot of chances, but they couldn't score more than two goals, but two goals in Milan is still a lot... I think there will be great football in Prague today... Probably one of the most interesting matches for me today...

Considering their last five matches performance in their domestic leagues, Prague have good performance than AC Milan because they won two and drew two and lost one, while Milan won Two and lost two with one draw.
But the quality of the teams are not in the same level and the quality of the league they are playing as well, that’s why AC Milan flopped them in the first 4-2 at home, and I am very sure they will beat them again today to qualify for the next round.

After Braga's disqualification from the Europa League and Porto's from the UCL, there are now 2 Portuguese teams left in European competitions

Although Sporting are in a better phase, Benfica have a better chance of qualifying today, at least in my opinion. But 2 difficult games, for the 4 teams involved (Atalanta and Rangers))
I'm rooting for the 2 Portuguese teams to qualify and I've even placed my bet on the 2 hehe, but with a simple bet on the win

Sporting to qualify - 2.80 odds
Benfica to qualify - 1.75 odds

Honestly I believe both of Sporting and Benfica have a quite difficult work to do today. Benfica had really big difficulties against Rangers home. Rangers got ahead 2 times before it ended in a 2-2 draw you know.

About Sporting, their job is also quite difficult after getting a 1-1 draw home. Atalanta are a quite strong competitor. Maybe there is some decline in their Serie A performance but they are still a powerful team.

I think only one of these Portuguese teams will manage to qualify. I think I will side with Benfica.

It cannot be used as a reference for their results in the domestic league because clearly, the Czech domestic league does not have the same level as the strong competition that occurs in Serie A. So, even though in this second leg Slavia Prague is playing at home, at least There is still no guarantee that Slavia Prague will be able to turn things around. After all, 4-2 on aggregate is clearly a big score and therefore, it seems impossible for Milan to lose by a big score like 2-0. After all, basically Milan still has good ability to maintain the aggregate victory they have or perhaps, Milan is still targeting to beat Slavia Prague in this second leg at the Fortuna Arena.

[KTChampions]

Here are the specific numbers:

Liverpool 2.33

Bayer 04 Leverkusen 4.41

Ac Milan 7.35

As Roma 11.76

Atalanta 14.70

I can’t say that the chances of Roma and Milan are very different - in fact, the difference is 5%, which gives the clubs only a ghostly hope for the title. But I would say that these quotes are fair since Milan has only a slight decline, and Roma has a whole disastrous season. And just as it has happened many times before after a series of inspired games, a return to the mean occurs, I think this will happen with Roma too. By the way, Roma reached the final with Mourinho, so this is not an argument in their favor 

Thanks for sharing the odds by bookies as well.  

Yes, Roma reached the finale while Mourinho was managing them and we don't know if De Rossi can do the same as well. However I just wanted to indicate Roma's success in the near history here. Besides this is the players' success at the same time. We can give another example like Real Madrid's winning Champions League titles with different coaches.

Maybe you can say Roma and Real Madrid aren't the same in terms of success rate but anyway.  

  Yes, these are “slightly” different teams. Although, on the other hand, it’s difficult to compare anyone with Real Madrid.
In general, I was not in favor of sacking Mourinho, but now I admit that the team looks more cheerful than before. But let's see how it all ends - under Mourinho, Roma had 6th place and European Cup finals. Can this team go higher? To be honest, I doubt it because the competitors are more powerful and it’s not about the coach at all.

Slavia Prague played very well away at Milan... They had a lot of chances, but they couldn't score more than two goals, but two goals in Milan is still a lot... I think there will be great football in Prague today... Probably one of the most interesting matches for me today...

The match has been going on for more than 25 minutes and one of the players from the Slavia Prague team has received a red card so this will definitely make it very difficult for Slavia Prague to score more goals today. Because Milan is still quite good so far and considering that the previous aggregate is still superior to Milan, so for today's match I am not sure that Slavia Prague will win with two goals without Milan replying. Moreover, Slavia Prague is playing with a reduced number of players due to a red card.

[Volgastallion]

Villarreal trying to recover as fast as they can this gap, they are winning right now 1-0 they need for me at least two gaols in this first half to reach the second one with a bit of hope on the recovery.

West Ham doing the work in house 2-0 up right now. And for Slavia GG for them with that red card and the Milan goal.

Holes was the player that was given a red card due to the delay tackle that he made on David Calabria on the 23rd minutes of the match. SlP are playing with one man down, and it shows that they ha e already lost this match. This is because Pulisic was able to find the back of the net on the 34th minutes and Leao gave him that assist. Loftus Cheek scored the second goal in the next two minutes after Pulisic goals, which was on the 36th minutes of the match. Milan is in possession of the game and they are s looking for how to score more goals.

SPL 0-2 MIL

Previous considerations do not apply now. After the red card of the Slavia Prague player, Milan opened the scoring. Two goals in two minutes. This is something that makes AC Milan ensure they will go far in this tournament.

In just a few minutes, the first half was over. If in the first half they were able to score two goals, try to estimate what the final score would be for this match?
Indeed, when playing at AC Milan's headquarters, Slavia Prague showed how they played well. When playing at home, they can only surrender to the current situation.

Villarreal are pushing harder to dominate the game which they did but I don't think so they can score additional 4 goals to make five goals without Marseille scoring zero, Marseille will not allow Villarreal to get that record.

West Ham are dominating the games with two goals already and they are working add to secure victory and make it to the next round, nothing can be say until the end of the match because the aggregate is 2-1 which they should do more to secure win.

Slavia are now playing 10 against 11 which is so bad to them, this will affect them in maintain their home unbeaten record in Europa League, Milan are currently leading with 0-2 and am expecting more goals from them.

With the red card Slavia Prague received, their chances of winning the match seem slim, especially considering AC Milan's current lead of three goals in the first half. It's highly likely that AC Milan will take advantage of this situation and score even more goals. The pressure AC Milan is exerting on Slavia Prague makes it improbable for Slavia Prague to score even a single goal. This red card presents a significant opportunity for AC Milan to further solidify their lead. Without it, AC Milan might have faced a more challenging match.

Today's match has turned out to be particularly unfortunate for Slavia Prague due to the early red card they received. Overall, AC Milan appears poised to dominate the game and secure a decisive victory thanks to the advantage provided by the red card.

[3meek]

Before the game I thought that Slavia would be difficult for Milan... But the red card decided everything at the beginning of the game... Now Milan have scored three goals and I consider them one of the contenders for the Europa League final... So far they look stronger than the rest of the top clubs... Maybe also Liverpool are playing great...

With a red card from a Slavia Praha player making a loss of balance now AC Milan is superior in the first half with a score of 0-3 maybe in the second half there will be more goals, but not sure Slavia Praha can score more than two goals.

My prediction score 0-5 for AC Milan.
But now when they play at home they are completely helpless and yes now only surrender and it is very impossible to qualify while we know AC Milan will remain in the favorites by qualifying for the next round by looking at the aggregate goals now the difference is quite far.

[ShowOff]

Considering their last five matches performance in their domestic leagues, Prague have good performance than AC Milan because they won two and drew two and lost one, while Milan won Two and lost two with one draw.
But the quality of the teams are not in the same level and the quality of the league they are playing as well, that’s why AC Milan flopped them in the first 4-2 at home, and I am very sure they will beat them again today to qualify for the next round.

So, even though in this second leg Slavia Prague is playing at home, at least There is still no guarantee that Slavia Prague will be able to turn things around. After all, 4-2 on aggregate is clearly a big score and therefore, it seems impossible for Milan to lose by a big score like 2-0. After all, basically Milan still has good ability to maintain the aggregate victory they have or perhaps, Milan is still targeting to beat Slavia Prague in this second leg at the Fortuna Arena.

Victory in the second leg is Milan's target in this match and they seem to have secured it with a score of 0-3 in the first half. The aggregate is 2-7 and I think Milan has completed its main mission in this match even though it still needs to maintain the team's performance in the second half. Milan appeared dominant from the start of the match and of course the red card helped Milan dominate even more so they won this match easily.

Stefano Pioli may need to give some of his main players a rest in the second half after Milan really secured their victory. The match against Verona is coming up in a few days, so they will need good stamina to win that too.

The red card received by the Slavia Prague player in the 20th minute meant that everything was over, Slavia Prague didn't start the second leg well and that's all because they were behind in the first leg and I think basically AC Milan's quality is much stronger. compared to Slavia Prague so it is difficult for them to keep up even though they are playing at home.

The first half has ended and AC Milan is already 3 goals ahead, and according to Agg AC Milan is already ahead 7-2 so there is really no hope for Slavia Prague anymore.

Now Milan have scored three goals and I consider them one of the contenders for the Europa League final... So far they look stronger than the rest of the top clubs...

I'm sure Slavia Praha can make difficulty for AC Milan if they can play without a red card. I don't know why Slavia always got a red card after minute 20'. In the Leg 1, Slavia got a red card in minute 26'. Today, Slavia got a read card again in minute 20'. Playing with 10 players since minute 20' will be very difficult for Slavia although it is in their home. They need to play offensively because they are behind on aggregate goals. This makes they play too open, and AC Milan could score 3 goals so far. There is no way to qualify for the next round now since the aggregate goal is too large (Slavia 2-7 AC Milan).

IMO, it is difficult to determine whether AC Milan stronger or not. AC Milan plays against Slavia with 10 players since minute 20'+ in Leg 1 and Leg 2. Any team can score many goals if they play against 10 players. In this condition, I think we can't claim that AC Milan has been stronger and be the candidate for the final round. I think we still can't compare AC Milan with Liverpool or Leverkusen.

[Weawant]

Ac Milan are the favorite to win today's matches because of the leading goals they have secured, even though Slavia Prague always have a good performance when playing home game this time around they can withstand Ac Milan pressure because of their consistent performance this season, I know Slavia Prague have defeated team they hosted in Europa League, I don't have any worries for Ac Milan for not qualifying, I fill confidence for them due to their performance.

Sparta Prague isn't a team thst can at all be a contender strong enough against AC Milan so for me I see AC Milan getting a free ticket to the next stage of the Europa league game and Sparta Prague a bonus team to help them get through to the next stage of the league, let's not forget that AC Milan was actually a champions league tens and they crashed out by a very slight difference.

Sparta Prague isn't like a team that can ever be the reason AC Milan will crash out of the Europa not afraid their form that they have got as displayed in the champions league, although Sparta Pragua been able to get pass the group stage in the Europa is actually worth commendable but then then got to meet a team that's much more than they can handle and at such they will just have to hope to do better in some other times probably if they get to make it to the Europa again by next season or other season. Prague isn't a tough enough team though.

AC Milan is actually very tough than Prague a d so in this match just like expected they are already winning by three goals already and it's only the first half of the game which is that they are very likely to probably win by the end of the game and they are most definitely going to make it to the second stage of the Europa this season but I doubt their ability in getting to the finals and challenging other top teams.

[ingiltere]

Milan and West Ham United passing the round but I'm watching Rangers - Benfica on TV. Benfica scored a goal, there was no offside, the player ran from his own half. After Rafa Silva's clean goal, Benfica has the advantage for the round. Although Rangers increase the pressure, it is Benfica who miss clear goal positions. Unless Benfica scores the second goal, Rangers will try to score a goal until the last second and extend the match. There aren't many clear goal positions but the excitement is high.

[marcous]

Milan, Benfica, Marseille and West Ham ensured they qualified for the quarter-finals. Milan recorded a huge aggregate victory 7-3 over Slavia Prague, Tomas Holes red card in the 20th minute made it easier for Pioli's fleet to win the match in the second leg. Meanwhile, West Ham managed to turn things around after losing the first leg 1-0 to Freiburg, the EPL representatives managed to achieve a landslide victory 5-0 today in the second leg.

Villarreal managed to win 3-1 over Marseille, but they couldn't qualify because they lost on aggregate. Another match between Rangers and Benfica finished with a narrow score of 1-0, Bencfica progressed with an aggregate of 3-2. I think the four teams that qualify are worthy of advancing to the quarter finals. Milan looks like it will be a tough competitor in the race for the trophy with Liverpool and Leverkusen.

On the other hand, we will watch four other matches today. Liverpool and Roma seem to be safe thanks to big wins in the first leg, Leverkusen must work hard to achieve victory over Qarabag and maintain their unbeaten record on BayArena. In my opinion, the Atalanta versus Sporting match is difficult to predict, Atalanta maybe was a little lucky because they acted as hosts.

[Queentoshi]

The first half has ended and AC Milan is already 3 goals ahead, and according to Agg AC Milan is already ahead 7-2 so there is really no hope for Slavia Prague anymore.

Just as West Ham who already had a good leverage on winning with the early goals from the ninth minute to turn the not good result they had in the first leg, they earn a historic win with a very good performance, scoring five goals to make the record of their biggest win in European football against Freiburg, a 5-0 win. The Ghanaian player Kudus did very well and score two good goals before he was taken off. It was a great advantage to West Ham that the second leg of this competition was played in their home stadium, the support of the crowd is not something to be underestimated.
