UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[KTChampions]

It is not sure that AS Roma can defeat AC Milan. Many people assume AC Milan is still better than AS Roma. I can understand that people favor AC Milan because AC Milan has a better experience and history in international matches. If we learn the current performance of these teams, I think both AC Milan and AS Roma has almost the same chance. But AS Roma seems to have more injured players.

Judging by the description of the injuries, most of them are not serious and the players will be able to take part even in the first game, which will take place on April 11. Most likely we will see both teams with almost optimal lineups. I don’t think that the chances of Milan and Roma are equal, Milan is a confident favorite by all indicators and I’m almost sure that it will be able to capitalize on its advantage.

Benfica were doing really bad in the Champions League group stage you know. They could have even found themselves at the bottom of the group if they didn't show some life signs in few games. Those signs have led them to reach the quarter finals in the Europa League now.    They had quite big difficulties against Toulouse and Rangers though.

This is why I'm doubting their chance against Marseille as well. Because after Marseille changed their manager recently they started to play way better. If Benfica can't get a win home in the first leg I think they would be in serious danger to be eliminated. I'm favouring Marseille because of liking their game these days.

I do agree that it is going to be a little different, we are going to see Marseille being better against Benfica. The reality is that Benfica didn't look that good and I agree with that, we should not consider their situation to be greater, it just doesn't look all that much better.

I personally believe that we are going to see Marseille a team with a momentum going higher, to do better, than a team like Benfica, who has a bad momentum, to win it. Betting on this one seems quite easy to me, I can see why people may feel like there is small difference, and they are right in the sense that we are not seeing anything marginal changing, but as long as it stays the way it is right now, I am not seeing anything similar between them.

We already know the reason why Benfica performed poorly in the Champions League, because the club was not yet ready to compete against big clubs with higher performance and Benfica was lucky to be able to enter the UEL and be able to fight until the last 8 rounds.
I agree with you that choosing Marseille, which will qualify for the next round, makes more sense because Marseille currently has very consistent improvement and has greater readiness to beat Benfica and in my opinion, even though Benfica will compete at home, they will not be able to win. the aggregate score is higher than Marseille's score.
Louis Gasset as Maeseille's coach knows the right strategy to beat Benfica in the upcoming match.

In Serie A, Milan is playing better while Roma results improved a lot than what it used to be under Mourinho.

Roma have improved so much under De Rossi and they are a stronger and better team right now. The last two games between the two teams in the Seria A ended in a defeat for Roma, as Ac Milan beat them home and away. However, this game is going to be different from their recent games, it is a two leg match and Roma are in a stronger position that they were before. The game will be tough and very hard to pick a winner, but i think Roma will go far in the competition this season and they have to beat Ac Milan to go that far.

Roma has indeed improved a lot since being handled by De Rossi, but AC Milan has also improved.
We can look at the performance of these two teams in the domestic league and it can be seen that both teams are experiencing significant improvements in performance recently, so I think this match will be quite balanced.

It's very difficult to predict who will be able to advance to the semifinals because in my opinion these two teams have the same potential and for betting choices maybe we have our own point of view and there's nothing wrong with that because this is a match between two teams that are difficult because they have almost the same strength.

Both teams are at the same level with I have feeling Benfica having better chance of qualification for the next round as they are superior in quality from the Marseille which is now also on better run and things are clearly indicating we will have good match between these two teams which are going to give their best after securing their place here in this round.

No doubt we have no good performance in early rounds, but now things are completely change, and they are surely going to give their best with after this round they will be having another challenging situation Liverpool or Atlanta will be in semifinal which is also interesting but for this game for me, I have Benfica to be gone through for the last four.

In several seasons Roma has always managed to go further in the European League. And yes, I think this season Roma will be able to do it even though now their coach is different. Previously they were coached by Mourinho and managed to reach the final in the Europa League. And now under De Rossi's coaching, I think Roma will be able to do it too. because what we can see now is that Roma has improved rapidly in terms of performance on the field after De Rossi came to replace Mourinho.

AS Roma development and performance under De Rossi is impressive because things were never been like this under José Mourinho and there were serious chance for them to eliminate from the top six spots into Serie A table, but now they are having good chance for the top four with their progress in Europa League is also impressive because after eliminating Feyenoord and Brighton their confidence level is high, and they can go through for the another final with now their match against AC Milan is surely not easy but still we can expect both teams could be give their best and have fair chance for the having spot into next round.

First leg match is going to be tough with AC Milan is surely also at his best but if AS Roma able to handle them at better point then surely we can expect much better performance from them into second leg which is going to play at Rome with they could be also feel positive and play solid for the progress.

The Europa League clearly has differences with the domestic league, but we can assess a team's performance there.
In Europa League, which uses a knockout system, anything can happen and even luck will be quite influential here.

There's nothing wrong with predicting Liverpool and Roma's final, because both teams have good quality, but it's not easy and I really don't think that the course or what happens in the Europa League will be in line with what many people predict.

Now as we have top eight teams left into competition things are looking competitive and predictions are going to be tough with any team can win and go through for the next round if we will have Liverpool vs Roma in final this could be not surprising because Roma already lost last year into final and Liverpool current quality and performance is at the top which can give them good chance for reaching into last four.

We have four games into this round with all teams are good and having consistency which allow them to reach out here even few are looking stronger due to their quality and recent performance but still in UEFA events we can predict about any match with any game can go into either way with the match day performance of any team.

Benfica are still lucky to be stuck in the Europa League this season after their Champions League group stage slump with Salzburg but fortunately for Benfica if their goal difference is better than Salzburg at that time and makes their journey in European competition continue today, I think what you said is indeed quite reasonable,  When Benfica still struggled to win against clubs with weak teams like Ranger and Toulouse in the previous game, of course there was little hope for Benfica to win when faced a pretty good club like Marseille at the moment.

Benfica has a pretty good performance in the Portuguese league at this time by occupying the 2nd place in the standings, in contrast to Marseille who actually still have to fight hard to reach the Europa League zone next season in Ligue 1 at this time, the performance of the two is actually inversely proportional when playing in the current Europa League and Benfica, which from the beginning continues to get relatively easy opponents, actually finds it difficult to win,  Unlike Marseille who are able to overcome the resistance of strong teams like Villareal before, for the Benfica vs Marseille match later I also predict that Marseille will be able to win over Benfica  in the two legs of the match they play later.

I dont know why but i can feel a final between Liverpool and Rome, if Rome has the enoguht luck in his side they can be in the final and De Rossi seems like he have that and plus the players are with him 100%.

For me Leverkusen is not gonna reach the final. They are gonna be very bussy with Bundesliga and they are not so good on head to head.

Leverkusen is quite comfortable at the top of the Bundesliga standings with a 10 point lead so I think that way they don't have any pressure in the Bundesliga so they can focus on their Europa League matches.
I don't think what you say has a strong reason, it's impossible for Leverkusen to put aside the Europa League for the sake of the Bundesliga which they are almost certain to get.

Roma does have quite good strength and has experienced very significant improvements since De Rossi's arrival, but I don't think it's easy, even in the quarter-finals against AC Milan, I don't think Roma's chances of qualifying are much greater.

It is certainly a plus point for Leverkusen that they are free of Bundesliga pressure and have no problem focusing entirely on the Europa League. When a team competes in the Champions League or Europa League and competes hard in their own league, the plans of those clubs are thrown into disarray. 

The Bundesliga is pretty much assured in Leverkusen's case, they won't worry too much about this league now that their full focus will be on the Europa League. The toughest opponent for them in the Europa League will be Liverpool in which case they will try to beat Liverpool at any cost to win the Europa League title this season. A tough competition awaits between Liverpool and Leverkusen in the Europa League. If these two teams face each other then it will be a tough contest.

In several seasons Roma has always managed to go further in the European League. And yes, I think this season Roma will be able to do it even though now their coach is different. Previously they were coached by Mourinho and managed to reach the final in the Europa League. And now under De Rossi's coaching, I think Roma will be able to do it too. because what we can see now is that Roma has improved rapidly in terms of performance on the field after De Rossi came to replace Mourinho.

In fact, about the two defeats of AS Roma by Milan in this season in Serie A, that at that time De Rossi was not yet the head coach of AS Roma. Therefore, it will certainly be a different result for their meeting in the quarter-finals of the Europa League this time because yes, that AS Roma have improved their quality under De Rossi's coaching at this moment. Therefore, it will certainly be a proof again for De Rossi, whether De Rossi will really bring AS Roma through to the semifinals by defeating and eliminating Milan in this quarter-final or not. Because of course, De Rossi is really a new hope for the great results that are still possible to get with AS Roma in all the competitions that are still being played in the rest of the season.

`
Realistically I don't think anyone would want to favour a bad team in the league to be favourites to win the Europa League at the moment, I think Leverkusen and Liverpool are the only two teams to reach the final, and even If those two teams meet in the semi-finals of course one of the two winners is a strong candidate to win the Europa League trophy this season.

I think we should not forget AC Milan. They also performed very well in the Europa League. I think the final match will be AC Milan vs Liverpool. Initially I didn't include Milan in my favorites list. But their match against Slavia Prague showed that they are very worthy of being one of the finalists. Leverkusen performed very well and I am sure Xabi has a good strategy to beat any team in the Europa League. But AC Milan and Liverpool are difficult opponents. AS Roma has been able to perform well since being with De Rossi. But I think it's still not enough to beat AC Milan.

I like your assessment and I truly commend the honesty haha. One thing about knock out competition is that it doesn’t care it you are top of the league or bottom of the league

League form is different from European form.
Tie is open for anyone to win

That's not wrong, but it's also not a problem for anyone to see the strength of teams through their respective domestic leagues even though it might not be accurate enough to make an assessment because what you say can also happen in the European League so some people sometimes also can be surprised when there is a different result for a team they don't like. But for a match like Milan vs Roma, I am still a bit short in giving an assessment because both teams are not in bad condition at the moment.

Really tough to decides the promising future of these top teams. Predicting these clubs will always stick to winnings, though they've not securely effective but the present odds means something for us. The UEFA Europa League are mainly for the elite teams, precisely these clubs will fight for their spot this season. We know how these teams have grown to be fonder and desperate to win titles. We know team's that will continue to struggle this season and the ones that have become confident enough for winning.

[Jatiluhung]

In the quarterfinals of the Europa League of course everything can happen, but still their influence and performance in the domestic league is our reference to predict which team will advance to the next round, although luck is needed by a team but the performance and quality of the team are the main factors for them to beat their opponents, I think we are all here favoring Leverkusen and Liverpool at the moment is it because they are currently at the top If Leverkusen were a mediocre team like last season that was near the relegation zone, would we all say if Leverkusen was a strong candidate to win the Europa League this season?
off course not..!

Realistically I don't think anyone would want to favour a bad team in the league to be favourites to win the Europa League at the moment, I think Leverkusen and Liverpool are the only two teams to reach the final, and even If those two teams meet in the semi-finals of course one of the two winners is a strong candidate to win the Europa League trophy this season.

It seems I have to agree with your opinion. Because we cannot deny that we determine a team's performance not far from our assessment of their performance in their respective domestic leagues. And for example, as you mentioned about Leverkusen and Liverpool who also have good performances in their respective domestic leagues.

But apart from that, in the European League, surprising results often occur. Like last season, Sevilla managed to advance to the Final even though they were in poor performance in Laliga since last season. And last season Arsenal were also in the Europa League but they lost and were unable to go further. In essence, even though we refer to the domestic league to determine which team is the favorite. But to see a real result, sometimes luck plays an important role here too.

That's true, often teams competing in the European League show different performances or vice versa, because basically they don't only target winning trophies, but tickets to the Champions League too. Sometimes competition in the domestic league is very tight, so they have difficulty finishing in the top four of the standings, so they will shift their main focus to the European League to be able to get tickets to the Champions League. Statistically, the reputation of Liverpool and Leverkusen this season is quite impressive, both have stable performance, so they deserve to be favored over other contestants.

Yes, the European League is also the goal of all teams who failed to win tickets to the Champions League last season due to failing to finish in the top 4 of the domestic league standings. So often a team's performance is different when playing in the domestic league and in the European League. One example this season is West Ham who have not been consistent in the Premier League, but they have turned out to be quite consistent in the European League and can advance to the quarter-finals now.

Unfortunately, West Ham must be faced with a battle that will be difficult for them to win in the quarter-finals, namely against Leverkusen, who are also one of the favorites this season in the European League along with Liverpool.

I dont know why but i can feel a final between Liverpool and Rome, if Rome has the enoguht luck in his side they can be in the final and De Rossi seems like he have that and plus the players are with him 100%.

For me Leverkusen is not gonna reach the final. They are gonna be very bussy with Bundesliga and they are not so good on head to head.

There is a really good progress for Roma lately. That's a fact. De Rossi has really started to change something in the way this team play. But Milan is a really big obstacle ahead. They are very accustomed to playing against Milan. However they haven't played against them under De Rossi's control yet. I'm wondering if things will change positively.

Because things didn't go well while Mourinho was in charge. They lost both of their games against Milan in the Serie A. 

About Leverkusen maybe you would turn out to be right who knows. It depends on if we see the same performance against Qarabag or not.

[GiftedMAN]

In Serie A, Milan is playing better while Roma results improved a lot than what it used to be under Mourinho.

Roma have improved so much under De Rossi and they are a stronger and better team right now. The last two games between the two teams in the Seria A ended in a defeat for Roma, as Ac Milan beat them home and away. However, this game is going to be different from their recent games, it is a two leg match and Roma are in a stronger position that they were before. The game will be tough and very hard to pick a winner, but i think Roma will go far in the competition this season and they have to beat Ac Milan to go that far.

In several seasons Roma has always managed to go further in the European League. And yes, I think this season Roma will be able to do it even though now their coach is different. Previously they were coached by Mourinho and managed to reach the final in the Europa League. And now under De Rossi's coaching, I think Roma will be able to do it too. because what we can see now is that Roma has improved rapidly in terms of performance on the field after De Rossi came to replace Mourinho.

I also think Roma has got a lot of experience in the Europa league likewise AC Milan and the performance of Roma has experienced a drastic change since Jose Mourinho was replaced, being in a better shape they can go all the way to compete with their opponents but playing against a team in the same league who understands their tactics and their weaknesses it's difficult for them to get an easy win but they can get a good result if they improve in their game play and make good use of their opportunity to score goals when they finally meet. AC Milan is another good team who's playing well but since they failed to catch up with Inter Milan in the league, they will try to also progress in the Europa league so it's now a battle between the teams and rhe winner will be determined at the end of the match.
