UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[nelson4lov]

I don't know what exactly is happening with Liverpool tonight but I least expected such poor performance from them because they appeared much better than saint gallilous and even have a better form and depth than they do but it's really unimaginable how they are loosing already in the early minutes of the second half.

I'm hoping they will be able to get an equalizer but it's looking like they may likely not get such because their opponent is bent on getting another goal which has just been canceled by VAR. Leverkusen on the other hand is already four goals ahead, maintaining their unbeaten streak this season in the Europa so far, they are loosing to me like the team with the most potential to win the Europa, because Liverpool who I was hoping could do any better is currently Lossing form and it's really sad that it has to be with smaller teams which could be considered weak.

I watched the game and from what I saw, Klopp was unwilling to commit more to that game and he didn't bother if the game ended in a loss. Liverpool's team today looked very much like a team of misfits. 3 first team players and 9 of B-team players in the mix? Of course there was not enough cohesion. Liverpool's midfield was in shambles throughout the second half with Union's constant press. It should've ended 3-1 or even 5-1 given the lackluster Liverpool performance.

Immediately I saw the line up, I realized while bookies tipped Liverpool to win at 3+ odds.

Liverpool are already top of their group and have a place in the next round already, and just like what Pep Guardiola did yesterday with his team in the champions league, Klopp has also mixed up the players in this team to play against USG because they already top the group.

Liverpool and Leverkusen could perhaps be said to be the clubs that will dominate the most in the Europe League, both of them were able to finish in first place with satisfactory achievements. especially Leverkusen. And if you look at their performance in the main league, Liverpool and Leverkusen have also experienced very consistent increases in performance. Indeed, other clubs such as Atalanta, West Ham and also Brighton could be considered. However, Liverpool and Leverkusen remain favorites.

Well, the difference now is that they will have other strong competitors from clubs that were eliminated in the Champions League. And this will probably be quite a big challenge again. Even though it may not be as strong as expected, Milan is included in his consideration. So, if Liverpool want to bring home the Europe League trophy, they really have to focus and consistently win matches. This is one of their opportunities to win the championship after they have been absent for so long.

Ajax were showing some recovery in the recent times. I mean in their Eredivisie games. However I still expected this performance improvement to reflect onto the Europa League as well. I expected them to beat AEK in the critical game to join the Europa Conference League at least. They really did it by a convincing 3-1 win. 

I'm happy to see Ajax not ending their journey in European competitions early. They aren't a bad team normally but they have had really difficult times for a long time. Finally there is some fight by them to deal with this bad season and turn it into a better one.

Though Ajax seems to be awaken from their slumber but their win against AEK Athens is what I call ''a medicine after death '' as they are improving at a time when they couldn't make it to the Europa next round but i am optimistic that they will start doing more better now that they've started recording some winnings because their early performance was nothing to write home about so lets see how they turn things around for their own good.

Liverpool has won the UEFA European League and the last time was in 2001. This shows that they have a good history with the UEFA European League. But even so, they have to be ready and focused because the teams from the Champions League are certainly strong teams that should not be underestimated. So far I see AC Milan as the most likely to beat Liverpool. But we also see that other teams are also quite strong, such as Leverkusen, West Ham or Brighton.

Finally last match round of UEFA Europe League group stage have ben over, have 8 teams will play automatically on 16 of round as first standings finish teams and the runner up position will play trough playoff round against UEFA Champion League teams finish on 3rd position. Seems the drawing schedule will be set tomorrow day and excited to see about favorite teams will face on 16 of round of looking with Champion League teams will face which one team on playoff round.

8 teams will play round of 16 automatically

Liverpool don't want to risk their key players playing in a match that no longer has an impact because whatever the result, they have already ensured that they have passed the group phase, and you can see that the starting XI is filled with a lot of second-tier players, even their goalkeeper is the second goalkeeper.
Liverpool has a more important match in the English Premier League because they will face Manchester United.
A lesson for bettors is to ignore matches that no longer have an impact on one of the teams because the results are difficult to predict, as happened in Liverpool's match last night, and no one will certainly be disappointed with these results other than bettors who think that Liverpool will be able to win convincingly because the opponent has a different quality to Liverpool.

The result of the match that was quite surprising in the sixth match was how Real Betis failed to qualify from the group phase and couldn't even occupy second place in the group because they lost to Rangers and that happened at their home, they controlled the game but many opportunities couldn't be maximized but Rangers played effectively by successfully scoring the winning goal which made them qualify from the group phase.

Yep. Leverkusen performed perfectly, they win all the matches in the group stage. No other teams could win all the matches, including Liverpool and Roma. In the early competition, we hope Liverpool and Roma will perform well as Leverkusen, but they seem not in their best form. So, we can assume that Leverkusen is the most favorite team to win this competition because they look to play consistently until the end of this competition.

Leverkusen and Liverpool will not have to play two play-off matches but AS Roma will have to join play-off with a club drops out from Champions League. They finally got a big win against Sheriff but it was too late and they only ended their group at the second position.

We have to wait till play-off round ends before discussing more about best candidates for the winner of Europa League in this season. Even it is too soon but it is better to start discussions about it when we know about all clubs that will participate in Europa League knock out phase.

Leverkusen and Liverpool look to be strong and best candidates for this race but a general picture can be changed when some big clubs from Champions League join Europa League.

In general, clubs from the Champions League who join the Europa League are not as strong as Liverpool and Leverkusen, but the presence of these clubs can be a threat to them. I only consider Milan, Lens and Galatasaray who can pose a threat, but based on the consistent performances of Liverpool and Leverkusen, the presence of these clubs can improve their quality to go further in the Europa League.
The results depend on the end of the play-off round, after which a new round will begin. The more strong clubs that join the Europa League, the more excitement there will be for the audience when strong teams compete.

Immediately I saw the line up, I realized while bookies tipped Liverpool to win at 3+ odds.

Even though Liverpool use B-team players, it's not that bad, only the both wingers are really awful. Gordon and Doak almost don't give any contribution in the field, they have 69% ball possession and only shots four times.

Everyone were expecting Liverpool to win easily, but after Liverpool have show their lineup before the match, it makes people think St.Gilloise will win.

I noticed that both Freiburg and West Ham United are playing really well. It seems like they are equally good, and when we look at the Group A table, we see that they are both at the top. This means they are performing at the same level in the competition. Now, since it's West Ham's home game, I think they might have a better chance of winning.

I expected Freiburg to get at least a goal in that game. Considering the fact they're very good goal scorers and they have scored a lot of goals in this tournament, they should have had at least a goal. Two first half goals from West Ham made me sure that more goals would come in the second. I knew West Ham had a better chance of winning since they're at home, so I wasn't expecting a win from Freiburg.

Everyone were expecting Liverpool to win easily, but after Liverpool have show their lineup before the match, it makes people think St.Gilloise will win.

What Klopp did was exactly what I would have done in his position. They play Manchester United at home this weekend and he has a premier league top spot to maintain so I don't see why they should play with so much intensity and energy in this game. Aside the United game they have, this was an opportunity to rest his players. Liverpool players need a lot of rest because the premier league gets really intense during this holiday period and if they can stay on top of the table till next year that would really motivate them to remain on top till the end of the season.

[HajiBagi]

Bayer Leverkusen really shows its consistency, even though it has been confirmed to qualify but ya, in fact Bayer Leverkusen still plays with its best quality because Bayer Leverkusen still managed to win big in the current match against Molde. Even though ya, if Bayer Leverkusen gets a losing result in this match, but of course basically won't change Bayer Leverkusen position but ya, it seems Bayer Leverkusen is really not willing to lose in the matches they play this season.

Also about Liverpool, which is very proud of in the Europa League this season too, but the reality is Liverpool not really consistent to keep winning like Bayer Leverkusen. Because ya, the fact is that at this moment Liverpool are still 2-1 behind by Royale Union SG. Although indeed, they only played second-tier players but anyway, Bayer Leverkusen still showed their best quality but not Liverpool.

I'm not sure what happened to Liverpool versus Union St. Gilloise, or if it's just that they advanced to a later league round. Leverkusen needs to stop playing the way they were playing yesterday or else they will not win the Europa League. Imagine Liverpool losing 1-2, this is unimaginable because many supporters believe that Liverpool will win. Now that Liverpool has advanced to a new round of the league, we can only wait to see what will happen when they play major teams like Roma, Leverkusen, and others.

Leverkusen has not lost a game this season, so whether or not they advance to the next round, they play with the same focus and determination to win every game. If Liverpool and Leverkusen meet and Liverpool does not play their best game plan, I predict that Leverkusen will defeat Liverpool by more than one goal. It will be a difficult game.

I have to be agreed with you about your words which are describing perfect Ajax current situation but still they are doing impressive job after losing against Marseille in France now they are having four matches winning streak which bring them from bottom to fifth spot in Dutch league, and now they are also having chance for the Conference Cup which is newly introduced cup by UEFA and this can give good chance to them for having something good for this season.

Even still we can't predict about anything but their recent performance is clearly giving indicator they could be at their best and will not go easily down from this pot even they will fight hard for the few things which will give them good confidence for the next season as well this big win is surely going to have good booster and fans will be also excited as their worst period is ended and now goals rain is coming for the wins.

It's still very long and in the January transfer window many teams will improve much better so we can't be sure that Liverpool and Leverkusen will succeed in maintaining their performance and we also don't know how strong the other teams will be, what is certain is that the Europa League will always be presents fierce matches and there are surprises, this is also the case this season even though Liverpool and Leverkusen are very favorites.

The Europa League group matches have ended and now we need to look forward to the play offs and which teams will advance to the know out round and we will be able to see the competition and speculation for the teams that will advance further.

[jakdanyel]

The Europa Conference League participation is like a consolation prize for Ajax at the moment. It is at least better than being completely eliminated from the competitions. If they continue to improve their performance who knows maybe they can turn into a favourite for the title there as well. There aren't so many big teams there in the end but there are challenging ones indeed.

Slavia Prague completed a group with Roma as leader. They even beat Roma once as well. This is attention getting to me but if they get one of top contenders as their opponent in next round I don't know how strong they can continue to play. Because things will get more serious and they could face a huge competition.

I think, Liverpool defenders are the one that made that mistakes to allowed unions st Golloise to used the first half to reduced their strength by allowed their opponent strikers to scored all those goals to lead the match with 2-1 to the end of the match to increase their points to 11 points . Well, nobody is above mistakes, and despite they defeated Liverpool in their home, Liverpool is still toping the group which is one of the advantage that will make their coach to correct the errors that occurred so that what happened in this match will not repeat itself again till the end of the tournament. If you look at Liverpool in this season in the Europa league competition and premier league competition, you will know that they are in good position to win one of this title in this season.

[Polkeins]

I would like to mention a very interesting match between Villereal and Rennais.
The match itself was very interesting and ended with the score 3:2, in favor of Villereal, but in the last minutes Rennais evened the score, but the goal in the 100th minute (!) was canceled because of the old rule, when Enzo Le Fe executed a free kick, it hit the crossbar and then flew back to him and he started an attack that ended with a goal, but the goal was canceled because of the fact that it turns out that it is impossible for a player who kicks a free kick twice in a row, and it turns out the bar does not count.

Because of this rule, Rennais lost the right to a direct exit from the group in the 1/8 finals of the Europa League.

Finally last match round of UEFA Europe League group stage have ben over, have 8 teams will play automatically on 16 of round as first standings finish teams and the runner up position will play trough playoff round against UEFA Champion League teams finish on 3rd position. Seems the drawing schedule will be set tomorrow day and excited to see about favorite teams will face on 16 of round of looking with Champion League teams will face which one team on playoff round.

8 teams will play round of 16 automatically

West Ham
Brighton Albion
Rangers
Atalanta
Liverpool
Villareal
Slavia Praha
Leverkusen

From the eight teams here who will play directly most of the teams are big ones from big leagues amd what really caught my eye here is Slavia Prague which is an exception from big leagues and they were also in the same group with Roma.

It is a great achievement for them as most probably they would not have imagined to do this fine in this competition.Now they have also a chance to win maybe because in a game,a two way game anything can happen no matter who will be your opponent.

With this success of Slavia Praha, AS Roma will have to join two play off matches and they will have wait for a play-off draw in next three days. Last season, they played in play-off round too and went to the final match before losing against Sevilla in a controversial final. They hope to get another final match with Mourinho that can be their last time with the coach and they actually began their group well. Things changed after a defeat at Prague and after that, one more bad result with a draw with Severtte caused them a big failure with a mandatory play-off participation.

It is not the end for Roma but they actually did one to play it again. Now they have to join this round and will have to surpass it to continue hunting for another final match.

In general, clubs from the Champions League who join the Europa League are not as strong as Liverpool and Leverkusen, but the presence of these clubs can be a threat to them. I only consider Milan, Lens and Galatasaray who can pose a threat, but based on the consistent performances of Liverpool and Leverkusen, the presence of these clubs can improve their quality to go further in the Europa League.
The results depend on the end of the play-off round, after which a new round will begin. The more strong clubs that join the Europa League, the more excitement there will be for the audience when strong teams compete.

How do you know if that club is not very strong?? In my opinion, the Champions League groups stage is still considered a strongs club because they are able to compete there, maybe after fighting hard in the Champions League but not achieving satisfactory result, at least they can compete in the European League. At a glance, what you see is only the dominant clubs that you see. I know, however, the European League is still full of medium sized club who are able to put pressure on big clubs, so we cannot yet confirmed which clubs from the Champions League will be able to survive and take part in the European League qualifying rounds because the clubs that are relegated from the Champions League are also not clubs carelessly they were the selected club that could compete there but were beaten by big club in the EPL, Bundesliga and Spanish League, French League 1 and Italian Serie A.

After the play off rounds is finished we will looks at the clubs that will be a challenge for Liverpool and Leverkusen because currently both clubs are still doing their job well and with the presence of club from the Champions League and the groups stage we will see the potential for others clubs that can become a threat for them so for that we can enjoying match that will be even more interesting and no less interest like the Champions League.

[Jody.Drummer]

Yes I agree with you, we're a long way from the final and I don't think we need to talk about that now, it's too early to talk about that. Leverkusen and Liverpool are the favorites, but that doesn't guarantee that they'll actually do it.
We still have the play offs before the last 16, and in the play offs there are still clubs that can pose a threat like AC Milan for example.
Today is also the last match of the group stage, or in other words, the group stage is still not finished, and we are already discussing the final match.

No doubt many changes are going to happen in coming days with now we are in last round of group stages, and then we will have two months break and January transfer window is also going to have impact on teams as well which will give strength of few teams and few teams will lose their players just because of this talking about who is winner and who is going to have good end it's not ideal.
Bayer Leverkusen is surely team to watch in this season with their wining streak is going long, and they are going to have good challenges in coming weeks as well which will bring some ups and downs as well.

The regular transfer window is a time for clubs to improve their squads, and I agree with you that it will be a time of change for many clubs, not least those in the Europa League. It's possible that the current favorite club could suffer a setback after the transfer window, things that we never predicted before are things that could very well come true.
Especially when they have to divide their focus between the Europa League and the domestic league for example, it becomes a difficulty in itself. Not without reason, because their schedule will be even more crowded by participating in these two competitions. A schedule that is vulnerable to the physical condition of the players and that is closer to something unwanted, such as injury for example.
