UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[Iranus]

It has been a really comfortable run for Leverkusen in the group stage. Because I think they had the easiest group among the biggest title contenders. They destroyed every single one of their opponents in the group and guaranteed qualifying for next stage as leader. They won't need to play an extra stage as well which is a good advantage.

Leverkusen was the strongest one in the group. It means that if leverkusen could pass the group easily. It will be so strange that if leverkusen will not able to pass it. I mean if we must also aware about how leverkusen needs to put more focus on this league.
The club is also leading the bundesliga but the pressure that came for the club is quite big. I hope that elverkusen will able to retain its performance. Xabi needs to roll the players anytime to make sure they will not be exhausted.
The last match day is not a difficult match for leverkusen. I have picked my choice for the last match day and it was leverkusen. It can win the last match day with big scores.

They are the only club that can wipe out all matches with victory, yes in the 5 matches they played they managed to win all those mtches. Maybe yes it happened because they were also in a fairly easy group, but still it requires the right strategy that must be applied. Now they just have to focus on the match in the round of 16, they just need to wait for who will be their next opponent.
Now they are the favorites to win the Europa League this season, but their journey will also be tough. To realize that they must maintain the performance they have shown so far.

There is no doubt that the Leverkusen team is very strong this season. The team is at the top of the points table in the Bundesliga. At the same time, they have won every match in the Europa League and performed very well. They have scored 14 goals and conceded just two goals in 5 Europa League matches. This is proof of Leverkusen's ability. However, in the Round of 16, the Leverkusen team will perform against strong teams. I am looking forward to seeing Leverkusen's performance in the Round of 16 match. If Leverkusen can continue their dominance in the Round of 16 matches, then Leverkusen will be the most favorites to win this year's Europa League.

Because we never know what would happen if they had a draw against a team coming down from the Champions League. But looking at the possible teams to come from there I don't see any team that can beat Leverkusen out of the Europa League. 

I won't say they're all small clubs, Bayern Leverkusen are just on another level and they can't be halted too easy by this clubs in the same group with em.
Qarabaq currently sits at the top of them league are they to be seen as small? Hacken amongst the top three clubs right now from them swedish division. Not so sure for Molde but I know these clubs did relatively good before they good get the chance of playing the Europa League Competition.

Props to Nigerian international, Victor Boniface who just won the rookie of the year award once again for the fourth time. Winning all August, September October and November. December loading? They shouldn't relax tougher rest during the knockouts!

Liverpool are going on really well in the EPL these days. Especially while Manchester City are having tough days Liverpool are benefiting from the situation amazingly. They are in the title race now. If they continue to be a part of that race until the end of the season then I don't know how much Liverpool would be concentrated on the Europa League title.

I mean I don't expect them to just throw this tournament away of course. But if things go very in favour of them in the EPL then Klopp might start making rotations as much as possible in the Europa League.

Because the schedule could be quite tight and he would like to prioritize the domestic league.

[FanEagle]

Leverkusen is definitely a good candidate to win their game, that much is for sure and I think that should be the most important part. I think it's true that we are going to end up with something that will benefit everyone if Leverkusen wins, because the odds are greater there and we would have a bigger profit. Liverpool is the clear favourite though I do agree with that, unless some super major team drops from UCL which I do not think will happen, they are going to keep being the best team without a doubt.

I think it is clear that we are going to have a result where it is going to be a little bit tougher than what we expected, and that should be something that we would not be able to just overlook, that's just not how it all works. So all in all, we need to have something that would be a little bit easier on the eyes, and Liverpool seems to be that candidate, you can convince anyone that they could win, there needs to be a very shocking result for them to lose it.

[Weawant]

Bayern Leverkusen have been qualified after finishing first standings position in Group H, Xabi Alonso success made Leverkusen won 5 of 5 matches and not doubt to close perfect winning result on group stage left one match against Molde. Bayern Leverkusen have managed well focus not only with domestic league but also with Europe League, won all match group stage round is the perfect achievement Bayern Leverkusen the only one Europe League teams participants have won 5 of 5 matches.

I don't really sure with your prediction Bayern Leverkusen win bigger score last match against Molde, have been qualified to next round and Xabi Alonso will make many rotation on last Europe League group round match.

Leverkusen currently have no challenges, even if they loose their next match or draw, they still qualify for the next round of the Europa having won the first five game making them unbeaten at group stage and aswell stayed at the top of the group long enough and finally get to qualify in the first position.

I can say they had a relatively easy group stage and it turned out they qualified with much ease, getting ready for the next stage of the Europa, Xabi is aware of what's ahead and aswell with his domestic league which he will be playing simultaneously so he will definitely be rotating for the last group stage game I'm the Europa so as to be sure his team is well prepared for the next stage and the domestic league there after.

They destroyed every single one of their opponents in the group and guaranteed qualifying for next stage as leader. They won't need to play an extra stage as well which is a good advantage.

All the teams in the group H are below Leverkusen’s standard based on this season form. They will definitely win all their group stage matches and still remain one of the favorites to win the Europa League. Qarabag FK will have the opportunity to face some teams that will be eliminated in the Champions League group stage to decide their knockout stage fate since Molde will hardly qualify if they can’t win Leverkusen in their leg group stage match.

Because we never know what would happen if they had a draw against a team coming down from the Champions League. But looking at the possible teams to come from there I don't see any team that can beat Leverkusen out of the Europa League. 

Yes, most of the teams that will possibly come to the Europa League through the Champions League are not in good form, which is why they are eliminated, but teams like Manchester United, AC Milan, Newcastle United, Lense, and probably Sevilla might give Leverkusen and Liverpool a tough time in the Europa League.

I don't doubt how consistent Bayer Leverkusen is in every match, they play well and solidly. starting from the defense line, midfielders and their front line. Xavi Alonso's squad played very competitively despite the limitations of its players. However, under his tactical and strategic guidance, Leverkusen played with high performance. not just Okoh Boniface, who has always been Xabi's mainstay. However, there are other players who are quite productive, such as Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Primpong, Jonas Hotmann and other players. which means, Xabi Alonso allows his players to score goals if they have the opportunity. so, they didn't just target Okoh Boniface as Target Man.

In its 13 matches in domestic competition, Leverkusen was able to score 38 goals. In the Europa League, they scored 14 goals and conceded only 2 goals. They have scored 15 points, even though Alonso does not always play his full core squad. Of course, Leverkusen already has a ticket to qualify for the next round. they just wait, which team will be their opponent. and what is certain is that Xabi has brought dramatic changes to Bayer Leverkusen since he took charge of this team.
Honestly, I like the style of play they display. since the start of this thread, I have consistently favored Leverkusen. However, I am also well aware that along the way, it is not impossible for Leverkusen to experience problems and perhaps even be eliminated in the next phase. However, based on the favorite team in the Europa League, it is clear that I side with Xabi Alonso's squad with what they displayed and presented for us to enjoy football. I will just enjoy every match they play, especially the crucial matches. Regarding trophies, there are still lots of matches to be played so let's just keep up.

Xabi Alonso’s has built this Leverkusen squad as one that you can’t real determine who the main point man is and that’s one characteristics of a top coach. Like the way the team perform solidly and they play as a team even when they’re losing is quite one to watch and he’s bulit this team such that every player could net in the goals.

 Going forward, I think Leverkusen will be one team that are considered favorites for most titles because even when you check their form both in Germany and across Europe where they rest most player, they still perform incredibly. Yes, they could bag the Bundesliga but they’ve got to maintain consistency even when most of their players will head to AFCON by January, they’ve got to keep the wins coming and stealing 3 points, then we can see them as title winners.

Arsenal is competing on the UCL but it has no winning mentality. Arsenal may possible to win the EPL but not for european trophies. There have been so many stronger teams than arsenal. Liverpool needs to focus on the europa league since this is also the way for the club to be qualified for the UCL at this moment. Going through europa league would be far easy rather than EPL. I hope liverpool will manage it to qualify for the europa league soon. Liverpool is very good team and it has winning mentality to take the europa league trophy this season.

Liverpool is also having possibility to win EPL as well. I hope that liverpool can win both of trophies. Arsenal is so strong but it doesn't mean liverpool can't win the league this season.
Im waiting for what step is going to be taken by klopp to strengthen liverpool at the end of season. I hope there will be a surprise came to the club.

In the previous seasons, Arsenal may have no winning mentality but I think they have it in this season. I also think Arsenal has the chance to win EPL or UCL trophy but it won't be easy because there are too many strong teams. It basically depends on Arsenal whether they can maintain their good performance or not. If they can play consistently and maintain their current performance, I no doubt to say they have a good chance to win EPL and may win UCL trophy as well. Just focus on their current squad, we don't need to look at the previous history of this team.

Sure, Liverpool also has the similar chance. They also have quality players, so it is not impossible for Liverpool to win the trophy. But I see Liverpool has a problem with their CF (center forward), there is no striker who can score consistently. This can be a negative thing in Liverpool team during this season. However, in this Europa League, Liverpool is the favorite team to win the trophy this season. Only Leverkusen that seems to be another favorite team for the final round.

The real challenge will be coming soon. Liverpool was not in the same group with the strong team that means liverpool's way is very easy in qualifying for the next stage. This makes its competitors are nothing compared to the liverpool.
Liverpool is far above its opponents in term of everything right now. I have no doubt that if liverpool was able dominating everything in the group. It was only losing against toulouse which was klopp's mistake by using the secondary squad.
Liverpool was able winning the game easily if it was using the main squad. Liverpool is one of best squad in the EPL unlike the pervious season. The club seems have better chemistry compared to the last season.
That's amazing to see how liverpool will be trying so hard in winning the europa league this season. it's caused by this is the important way for liverpool to go to the ucl.

Leverkusen was unstoppable for group stages and among all of the teams in Europa league only Leverkusen who able to gets 5 wins until 5th matches even other champion candidate just like Liverpool also was unable to do that because Liverpool only can gets 4 wins from 5th matches and indeed group stage seems too easy for Leverkusen because they were too strong for their opponents in Group H and for 6th match i am sure Leverkusen will be able to beat FC Molde however if we see based on Leverkusen recent performance in this competition seems there was no other teams who can able to beat them because seems Leverkusen is too consistent but they will be tested later when entering knockout stages because possibly Leverkusen will fight against strong teams and we will see whether Leverkusen will be slipped or they can able to managed their consistency and beat their opponents

[Hirose UK]

I feel that West Ham will also be successful in winning this match and of course they will clearly progress with ease without needing to compete again for safe position later if team from the UCL enters.
West Ham in the Premier League is not very good and the Europa League is their only chance to perform well.
And it is true that home advantage can really influence West Ham game to be able to beat Freiburg, but I would still say this is pretty fierce match.

I also think that the match between West Ham vs Freiburg will be quite fierce next week because it is not just about which team is the host. But it is also about which team will be the champion in group A because these two teams are certain to qualify for the next round so they will only try to become champions in that group. Moreover, currently the two teams also have the same number of points after the five matches they have played in the Europa League group.

Well, that what actually happened and they just wanted to get win with the aim of becoming group winners, so that in the future when the team from UCL enters they won't have any difficulties and can really focus on playing in the top 16.
Team in each group has determined their own path and they have proven that of the 4 teams in each group, only two are the strongest and have the right to compete in the actual competition.
West Ham and Freiburg were one of them, they managed to finish the group phase well and each only experienced 1 defeat, the last match could also be determinant that one of those who lost in the future will face pressure from the UCL team that was eliminated.
But it looks like West Ham are still favorites and have big chance of wins.

But when this group phase started there was one team that really looked really great, they even managed to win 5 matches and topped group H with 15 points, this team was Leverkusen.
They performed satisfactorily not only in Bundesliga but also in the Europa League competition, it is also possible that Leverkusen will be the favorite to win the Europa League title this season.
The team managed by Xabi Alonso is truly extraordinary and now this season Leverkusen looks like team that has bright future in winning the title.

Do you know that currently arsenal have a squad and all this people they are performing well in the arsenal team so therefore I believe that arsenal team have the chance of wining any trophy because their performance rights now is more encouraging and acceptable by me than the performance of Liverpool, despite that Liverpool is making well in the football I basically want you guys to understand the basics things concerning the footballer being players in the both clubs being arsenal and Liverpool, you see the difference, arsenal have a good players that is playing with the direction of the club and if time is not taken arsenal will both  EPL and UCL trophy

Arsenal and Liverpool have always been in the same scope in the Premier League, but this season the two teams are in very different European competitions where Liverpool is in the Europa League and Arsenal is in the Champions League. Maybe I can also accept your opinion about Arsenal having the potential to win the Premier League trophy this season even though there are still many obstacles that Arsenal must overcome.

But for the Champions League trophy, I think it will be heavier than the Premier League trophy because in the Champions League there are many strong teams whose performance we sometimes cannot predict so this will be a real obstacle for any team this season.

Not only in the European League, even in the Bundesliga, Leverkusen consistency is extraordinary, having not lost in 18 matchs so far, this is an extraordinary achievement for Bayer Leverkusen.
I am sure that on Matchday 6, Leverkusen will continue to winning and emerge as groups winner and will get the most points in the groups stage.

We will see after club is relegated from the Champions League whether Leverkusen will continue to appear impressive like this because the opponents are differented and stronger and more competitive in contrast to the groups stage and in the Bundesliga. If Leverkusen does not falter then it is true thats this club is really strongs liked Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

I think both the Premier League and Champions League will be very difficult for them to get. We can probably remember last season where they were very good and were at the top of the standings for a very long time, even at that time their points were quite far adrift of Manchester City, but they began to falter when entering the end of the season and won so many unsatisfactory results that in the end they had to give up their position taken by Manchester City. Last season there were also many people who said that they were the championship favorites but everything changed when they played a very crucial match that they could not win.

All the teams in the group H are below Leverkusen’s standard based on this season form. They will definitely win all their group stage matches and still remain one of the favorites to win the Europa League. Qarabag FK will have the opportunity to face some teams that will be eliminated in the Champions League group stage to decide their knockout stage fate since Molde will hardly qualify if they can’t win Leverkusen in their leg group stage match.

Currently, situation is clearly favouring two teams Leverkusen and Liverpool for the title but as we will have teams from the Champions League then we can have few changes as well even mostly things can stay at better level for the group winning teams, but teams like Manchester United, AC Milan and Newcastle United bring tough challenge with most chances in this season we are not going to have Sevilla with they can stay in La Liga after having the worst result in Champions League.

Xabi Alonso is doing impressive job which is brought his team at the best level, and they are surely going to take good advantage of this all and these wins are surely making good career way for the new generation coach for having the best achievements in future with his strategy and ability to increase players confidence level high and perfect.

[KTChampions]

Yes, most of the teams that will possibly come to the Europa League through the Champions League are not in good form, which is why they are eliminated, but teams like Manchester United, AC Milan, Newcastle United, Lense, and probably Sevilla might give Leverkusen and Liverpool a tough time in the Europa League.

In my opinion, Shakhtar and Feyenoord will be more dangerous than Sevilla (from which it seems that only the brand remains and is now bad in both La Liga and Eurocups).
By the way, PSG still has a good chance of getting into the Europa League - it will be difficult to win against Dortmund away, and Newcastle will most likely be able to beat Milan at home.

Too good to be true. Arsenal was only getting weak group. Did you see how arsenal was failed in winning europa league? UCL has more world class team. It was lucky enough caused by it has not been placed in the strong group like group F or A.
Arsenal may not able to qualify if it would be placed in those groups. I hope arsenal is going to face real madrid and we will see which better to go to the next stage.

My suggestion for you don't expect too much from arsenal. I do remember that how this club was giving false hopes for their fans so many times. FYI, arsenal fans are saying the same thing like you last season but what? They were bottling all of competitions and being trophy less.
Saying arsenal will win trophy is pretty much the same like spreading false hope. Im feeling worry if the fans will be frustrated again caused by arsenal will out from UCL.

Arsenal can't beat Manchester City in Premier League, so it's already a sign for Arsenal can't win in Champions League since they're not very strong.

On the other hands, Liverpool is inconsistent, but they're have a power to beat Manchester City or Arsenal, so they have a chance to become a winner. Unfortunately, Leverkusen just looks very promising in this season, so I won't give a big expectation for Liverpool to become a champion.
