UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[Hirose UK]

There are still 10 days left for the matches which will all be held simultaneously and of course in these 4 matches we all have predictions made to determine who has the greatest chance of winning each first leg match.
Preparations for all team have been underway since now considering that the match is getting closer and each team must optimize all its players to stay fit and in optimal condition to play.
From what I estimate in these 4 matches, Liverpool, Benfica, AC Milan and Leverkusen are the favorites for betting options and I believe they also have big chance of being the 4 team that will compete in the semifinals.
This is just prediction based on the knowledge I have, if there are other different options maybe it can be considered.

Initially I started to be optimistic about AS Roma in the Europa League. But I started having doubts after
seeing that Roma could only get a draw in yesterday's match in Serie A against Lecce. I think there is a change that occurred where in the match against Lecce it seemed that Roma had difficulty building attacks. I hope it's just a test of De Rossi's strategy. And I hope that in the match against Milan in the Europa League quarter-finals we can see Roma with the improved quality of their attacks like when De Rossi first arrived at the club.

Lecce who are outside the top 10 were able to surprise us by holding Roma to a 0-0 draw, but I think that does not make Roma weak because it is normal for a club with a new coach to experience ups and downs in performance like Roma at the moment, I think Roma will soon bounce back from the defeat and of course will provide competition that is again tight in the league and Europa League,  Roma still have 2 weeks left to prepare before the Europa League match starts and surely they will try to return their form back to winning ways and of course Lazio will be able to be an outlet and the beginning of their revival later in the league before facing Milan.

I would never think that Milan would underestimate Roma just because they got a draw from Lecce, although maybe Roma will rise before the Europa League game starts but still I will not change my bet for Milan victory later, I think maybe de Rossi is just trying to experiment against Lecce so that indeed he can get a better strategy to face Milan later but unfortunately it is precisely that experiment seems to have failed.

Liverpool chances of making it to the finals of the Europa League is more higher than that of Bayern Leverkusen making it to the finals. Checking from the match fixtures, the matches and teams that Bayern Leverkusen are going to meet are more tougher than the ones that Liverpool are going to be playing against. The AS Roma vs AC Milan match will be the toughest in this quarterfinals and any team that qualifies amongst them will be facing Bayern Leverkusen which makes their chances of making it to the finals under big probability.

I think Liverpool are quite lucky here. They will face the winner of either Benfica or Marseille in the semifinals. It wasn't a tough opponent for them. I predict Liverpool will face Leverkusen or AC Milan in the final. Of course, these three teams are the favorites in the European league this season. But I think the final match will be Liverpool vs Leverkusen. AC Milan is a solid team and of course they have fans who are their favorites. I'm not underestimating AC Milan but Leverkusen are in good form this season. They even have high confidence in winning the European league title.

Liverpool will not face any major problems in qualifying for the final. Liverpool are in very good form right now. The team is able to dominate and win every match of the Europe League. At the same time, the Liverpool team is at the top of the Premier League table. This is Klopp's last season with Liverpool. He will certainly want to win both the Europa League and Premier League titles.

Leverkusen and Liverpool are the most eligible teams for this season's Europa League title. Both these teams are in very good form this season. Good performance has been maintained by both the teams. Both these teams will probably meet in the final.

There is almost no doubt that getting to the final will not be a problem for Liverpool, but there are doubts about Bayer, especially after the match with Karabakh. While waiting for the start, I want to see how they will play with West Ham, because this is a very difficult opponent, and secondly, this confrontation with Milan will be even more difficult (I expect Milan to beat Roma), and I think they will not be able to beat Milan.

[OcTradism]

De Rossi wasn't a creative coach. He was a monotonous coach who repeatedly used the same strategy and i have observed it based on the last matches

He is a young coach and does not have enough experience as a head coach so far. At Roma, he did tried to let Roma return to Mourinho tactics but their players did not play well in that match. It forced De Rossi returns back to his favorite tactics after all. He is making impression with Roma but to succeed, he needs to be flexible in tactics and if he fails, he will be like many young coaches with impression in early of career but later fail to grow up more.

There are different strategies in every match. I think De Rossi is working on different strategies. They can play against Milan with a style of play that they do not expect because Milan is analyzing them now based on the fixed tactics they play. If Rome plays with a surprise tactic, they can catch Milan off guard, but of course this tactical change has a price. If they don't play well, Milan could destroy them.

Pioli is more experienced than De Rossi as head coach and AC Milan are actually stronger than AS Roma from player resource to their performances in this season. A draw at Lecce in Serie A reveals some weakness at Roma with considerable dependence on Dybala and not too strong defense which can be exploited by AC Milan's attacking players especially Rafael Leao.

Chance for Roma and De Rossi to beat AC Milan and Pioli is not too high.

It makes sense if you mention the names of the teams because out of all 4 teams really deserve to be in the semifinals. But I am quite doubtful considering that this is still the first leg match and in the second leg the result could be different. For Liverpool and Leverkusen, I'm sure both of them will crush their opponents in two legs, but for Benfica and Milan, I don't think their chances are as big as you imagine.

It could be said that Benfica and Milan will face quite comparable opponents and maybe if they both manage to win decisively in the first leg then they won't have any worries in the second leg. This is quite risky because all teams can turn things around in a certain time and that is why both Benfica and Milan have to be wary of their opponents. Apart from all that, I think we need to see the progress in the first leg first so that it can be clearer.

Leverkusen and Liverpool are the most eligible teams for this season's Europa League title. Both these teams are in very good form this season. Good performance has been maintained by both the teams. Both these teams will probably meet in the final.

Both teams have been favorites of many members here to reach the final round, for Liverpool obviously 100% I agree with you, because their journey to become title contenders so far we can not doubt anymore, Klopp's ability to set strategies and also a qualified squad is certainly the basis of how Liverpool can be strong enough in every competition that the their has participated in so far,  The experience and mentality possessed by Liverpool is one of the main factors for Liverpool to become one of the teams that will easily reach the final.

As for Leverkusen, obviously I don't agree with you, because I think their performance in the league cannot be a reference for us to favorite them to reach the final, I admit that they are strong candidates at the moment, but so far I see no strong team that Leverkusen is facing to reach the Europa League final,  And of course it makes it easier for them like now, Leverkusen is very difficult when facing Qarabag who is a weak team and that makes me pessimistic if Leverkusen can beat Milan in the semi-finals if they both meet later, I personally am quite sure if Liverpool and Milan will reach the final round of the Europa League this season with a note if they avoid in the semi-finals.

Leverkusen's difficult victory over Qarabag also cannot be used as a reference that they will continue like that because if you look at Leverkusen's overall performance this season in the Europa League, they are showing the same performance as in the domestic league, which is quite impressive and in fact they are quite consistent throughout this season so I think it is quite possible for them to be in the Europa League final this season.

And the factor of their undivided focus is that in the domestic league the Leverkusen team has almost guaranteed themselves as champions this season, making them able to focus more on the Europa League match. This is different from Liverpool, which is currently competing fiercely for the Premier League title, so this will burden them.

West Ham is an inconsistent team but the great thing is, sometimes West Ham can really play well and get good results when they are play in important situations. Therefore, playing against Bayer Leverkusen will certainly be an interesting match because after all, sometimes Bayer Leverkusen also get deadlocked and can just make goals in the last minutes of the match. With such considerations, then I believe there may be a surprise that will occur in the match between Bayer Leverkusen v West Ham and of course, if a surprise occurs then the match will be very interesting. But indeed, basically Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen are strong candidates team to win the Europa League trophy this season, but we also realize that AS Roma is still not to be underestimated at all.

The main problem when we analize Rome is only one , and is how irregular they are playing and how bad they are passing the ball normally, i dont know how to explain this one, but when you read the name of the players of Rome you can think they are a super top team, but they not, and that is the problem.

They had top players like Dybala, Lukaku, Paredes, etc, but that is not direct reflected on the team.

Roma's problem so far has been the endless injuries that have plagued the team, Dybala plays one game and 3 he watches from the infirmary, as do many other players like him. Lukaku although a very good player is not performing like he did when he played for Conte's Inter. However since Daniele de Rossi arrived on the Roma bench the performances have improved considerably.

My estimates are also almost the same as the team list you wrote. It's just that I'm still not sure about the Leverkusen vs West Ham match and the Milan vs Roma match. Milan and Leverkusen are certainly favorites based on their respective rankings in their respective leagues. but because this is the European League where weak teams sometimes make surprises, everything is difficult to predict. Roma last season also managed to go far. And West Ham in the European League since the group stage has shown a good performance. So Leverkusen probably won't be able to win easily either. So I will still see the progress of these 4 teams in their respective domestic leagues in the remaining weeks. Before making a decision on who to bet on in the end.

I do not see Roma as a club that will be that difficult for Milan to win, and this is why I don't see Roma in the list of the clubs playing the semifinals. I cannot say if West Ham would be able to defeat Leverkusen and qualify to the semifinals. This is because Leverkusen have being doing great since the beginning of the season. They have an unbeaten record, and they are also topping their league. This shows how strong they are, and they will be ready to prove that in the quarter finals against West Ham.

West Ham might be strong, but not to the extend of stopping Leverkusen from advancing to the semifinals. If they are very strong, they would not be on 8th position in their domestic league.

[Patrol69]

If discussing the two strongest teams in the Europa League and the two most favorites for the Europa League, Liverpool and Leverkusen would come first. These two teams have been performing consistently since the beginning of the season and have maintained consistent performances till now. With these two teams qualifying for the quarter-finals of the Europa League, Liverpool and Leverkusen will currently be far ahead of the other teams that have qualified in terms of strength and consistent performance. AC Milan is a good team in the Italian league but with the way they are performing it doesn't look like they can do well against Liverpool or Leverkusen in the Europa League. Liverpool were the favorites from the start of the season and they might end the season as favourites.

What you said is true, currently the three teams must be able to beat every opponent to reach the semi-finals, besides Liverpool, Leverkusen of course AC Milan can be our favorite for a team that can reach the semi-finals later, for the match against Roma of course it is not a difficult match in my opinion because so far AC Milan has a good record and performance over Roma in the league,  I personally would not deny that Milan's consistent performance in the league will be able to show also in the Europa League at this time.

My view and yours will be a little different, if you look at Milan'. history, Surely you know why Milan has been called a giant team in Europe because of their extraordinary experience in European competitions so far, I think precisely compared to Leverkusen, it seems that AC Milan will be a very strong opponent for Liverpool or Leverkusen If they enter the final later,  I personally am quite sure if Milan will be able to meet one of the teams between Liverpool and Leverkusen in the semi-finals and I am quite optimistic to see Milan reach the Europa League final this season.

If we list the first three teams, AC Milan will be placed as the third team, but if the first two teams are kept in the list of favorite teams, then we will definitely consider Liverpool and Leverkusen there without thinking about it. Leverkusen and Liverpool have performed well in their respective leagues and in the Europa League this season and these two teams can be called the successful teams so far. Although these two teams qualify for the Europa League at the same time, either of these two teams will win the Europa League title while the other team will not win the Europa League title. The competition will be tougher if these two teams meet in the semi-finals or finals. Although Leverkusen are Europa League favourites, I expect Liverpool to win the Europa League title this season.

I just don’t see the need or relation to base the outcome of an European competition match on what the teams are performing in their domestic leagues. This is why teams gives match necessity to the trophies they need most than those they don’t need, this is why their performance in the domestic league shouldn’t be used to judge them in the Europa League competition. All the teams you’ve mentioned have been playing well in this league and that is what have brought them this far in the competition, so it is very likely that the unexpected happens at the outcome of this match schedules. I am still envisioning a Liverpool and Bayern Leverkusen final and that is my prediction or rather speculation on the outcome of this tournament.

[QueenVera]

In fact, I also thought that Roma would get the full 3 points in that match because Roma's opponent in that match was not a strong club, even though overall Roma was able to control the ball well and also took many shots, 3 of which were on target, but none of them were successfully converted be a goal. This is what makes some people doubt Roma, if they play against weak clubs, Roma is like this how can they face a top club like Milan, even though Milan's performance is currently good. So I don't think Roma will easily get rid of Milan if Roma's performance is not immediately improved. I want to see Roma's technique as usual in attacking, don't just let Roma's performance decline because of the international break.

In the European League, it is a different competition, but Roma's opponents are fellow Serie A clubs, so Roma is already used to the techniques of other strong rivals in Serie A. If Roma wants to reach the final like last season, at least Roma will improve their performance from now on and learn from their mistakes when they meet Lecce to increase their attack again.

The situation of Roma before De Rossi's arrival put them in a situation where they have to fix a bit of loops and come on top. Before now, Mourinho has had the  responsibility to ensure good league game results and I won't blame him much for the times of loss because their opponents, their opponents in some situations have been too title contenders and personally wouldn't embrace a loss based on the goal they have for themselves.

 De Rossi has been given time to show himself. They're playing the league games and as well as the European games, their attention is on 2 trophies, European trophy will be a bit difficult for them and I don't think that currently De Rossi would be able to scale through all the clubs that will be presented to him to face in each advancement phase of the tournament.

 Even in the Serie A, it'll be difficult for them to gain the top stand so it's just best that they focus their strength and struggle to maintaining a good result that'll see them scale through to the European cups next season. De Rossi can still make a great team from Roma and their next games encounters are awaited. They played away to Monza weeks ago and the game outcome actually went in their favor.

 In the game, they were able to confidently net in 4goals and this gave enough goal margin in the match. Monza who were the host didn't actually make much effort, adding that they were up against a better side and nothing less or different from the final outcome was expected to happen. The odds were in Roma's favour and in their own part, they were able to perform and deliver rightly, adding an extra 3points to their league table points and this as well adds to the push and morale ahead of their next European cup game against Milan.

I am still envisioning a Liverpool and Bayern Leverkusen final and that is my prediction or rather speculation on the outcome of this tournament.

It's true that basically domestic league competitions and European League competitions are clearly different and we also can't make that the main reference because each league has its own strengths in competing, Milan and Leverkusen's rankings in the domestic league are quite good and West Ham and Roma's rankings are not good, but that's the case. This does not guarantee that a club will perform badly just because of its ranking in the domestic league, every club still has the opportunity to continue to progress to a better level, clubs who are careless will lose this opportunity and could fail in this round before reaching the final because after all, only clubs are serious and focus that can advance to the next round.

In my opinion, what is quite difficult to predict is the match between Benfica vs Marseille because this club is not really the favorite in the European league. But I actually remember that in the previous season, the club which was not really the favorite could give us a surprise that we couldn't have predicted, it would be very surprising. If one of these clubs can reach the final, even though it is too impossible to achieve because the squad is very different from other elite clubs in the European League.

You are right. Some teams have priorities in determining important matches for them. Of course every team wants to show their best performance in every match but I don't think that can be done by all teams. And the busy schedule means each team has to prioritize their matches. Some teams have poor performance in domestic leagues but they are very good in International leagues. Like Sevilla who are kings of the European league but they don't have good achievements in La Liga. Some teams can win the domestic league but they cannot win the Champions league. I think there are some external factors that influence matches in international leagues.

[Oluwa-btc]

I do not see Roma as a club that will be that difficult for Milan to win, and this is why I don't see Roma in the list of the clubs playing the semifinals. I cannot say if West Ham would be able to defeat Leverkusen and qualify to the semifinals. This is because Leverkusen have being doing great since the beginning of the season. They have an unbeaten record, and they are also topping their league. This shows how strong they are, and they will be ready to prove that in the quarter finals against West Ham.

West Ham might be strong, but not to the extend of stopping Leverkusen from advancing to the semifinals. If they are very strong, they would not be on 8th position in their domestic league.

Yeah, I agree. When it comes to the European Competitions or Level, Ac Milan are definitely bigger hunters and sides, we don't need talk much about them, they're tested and trusted.
Ac Milan has been inconsistent though but gradually had a massive boost after qualifying for the Europa League Competition through fallout from the group stage.

I would have said As Roma would thrive but this is no Jose Mourinho irrespective of the fact that they're doing well under De Rossi, I'm not so certain they'd be given a passage into the semi finals. We will definitely see to whatever ahead of us.
Jose Mourinho has that Aura of a champion even before the game his presence fvcks with you psychologically, if you're no strong coach, yiud loose the game even before it kicks off.

West Ham United should kiss the Competition goodbye. They want to knock out Bayern Leverkusen? Most consistent side around European football? They do that and they could get to the finals.
