UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

Galatasaray's only weakness is their defending. They can't play effective in defense especially against teams with fast counter-attacks. They concede so many goals and lose their advantage because of that. This is the point they need to work hard on. They have time for that considering the upcoming break for national matches.

If they make progress on that then everything would be just fine. They can already score goals easily. They have very capable players in the attacking area. Even in Osimhen's absence it doesn't matter for them. 

Since Osimhen joined Gala, I haven't had the chance to watch this team's performance. So, I can't judge or give my opinion regarding the performance of the team coached by Okan Buruk. In addition, it seems that Osimhen's performance has not shown sharpness for the Galatasaray squad. Whether it's in the Domestic League, even though they are at the top of the standings. Or in the Europa League group stage which has not been able to contribute a single goal. It's natural, he is a newcomer who has only played in 4 matches with Galatasaray. 1 in the Europa League, 3 in the Domestic League. If you look at Galatasaray in their Domestic League, it seems that they are very strong with a 4 point lead over the team below them. In addition, they have scored 24 goals in 8 matches. In the Europa League they have not shown their aggressiveness, especially Osimhen. But I'm pretty sure they will qualify from the Europa League group stage. Because, for its class, Galatasaray is a fairly strong team.

To be fair Twente isn't as bad as you might think, but could be not great either, I am not entirely sure. I would give Lazio a chance to win of course, but I wouldn't consider Twente to do nothing neither, they may try their best and possibly do something this game too. This is why I have hopes about them having a chance of getting at least a draw.

Europa has been quite complicated so far, I am not sure who will win against who, betting on it is very tough, hell even UCL has been tough and making me lose, so I can't say European competitions are great this season. I haven't checked conference league to be fair, I am not going to lie I don't know what's going on there, maybe it's easier to gamble there, but for these two competitions things are tough.

People do not consider Twente to lose for sure neither, Lazio doesn't have like 1.40 odds or anything like that, they have 2.20 odds in most places. Meaning, while Lazio is the favourite to win, having 2.20 means they are not really high favourites or going to dominate, anything could happen. This is why we need to make sure we are dealing with a period where it is going to take some time for us to learn who will win.

There are some easier games, betting on them looks like it would be smarter, Galatasaray should be able to beat Elfsborg, Frankfurt should be beating RFS, Ajax should beat Qarabag, Nice should beat Frencvaros, these are games that I think should be easier to bet and we would make more profit from these games.

As Lazio team has won both their matches, Lazio team is considered as favorite in the upcoming match as well. The Lazio team is very strong this season. And not only in the Europa League, but also in the Serie A matches we have seen better performances from Lazio.

But I think winning against Twente will not be an easy task for Lazio. Twente failed to win either of the two matches. However, they have managed to share points with strong opponents like Fenerbahçe and Manchester United. The defense of this team is very strong. And that's why I think it will be difficult for Lazio to win. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the match is a draw.

[Weawant]

If you compare these two teams, Lazio is better, but as you said Twente is not as bad as imagined. When they can be in the European League, you should be able to see that they are not an ordinary team, but when compared to names like Lazio, they are still slightly below Lazio. However, in the European League like this, this is not a guarantee, because there are many surprises that occur, especially Twente will definitely try their best to do their best. If you look at it at a glance, then I will not deny that I will choose the team that is stronger on paper, that is the easiest way to bet. However, in football it is not that simple, there are many factors that can make a team win a match, luck for example.

Literally Twenty did draw their game against Manchester united, they almost won but didn't have the opportunity enough, even if i know Manchester united is in one of their worse forms, twenty drawing against them is enough to not underestimate twenty but i still believe that they could trouble Lazio a little even if Lazio is appearing better and could win them at the end of the day but they aren't to be underestimated, Lazio i know will do better than Manchester united did hopefully, after all they are more experienced than Twenty.

First of all, it's "Twente" not "Twenty" 
Second, yeah, they did decent in that game against Man United, but that's definitely due to United's massive dip in performance.
Serie A is on a different level than the Dutch Eredivisie, and both teams are currently placed 4th in their respective leagues, so I think Lazio being favourite with odds of x2.20 is pretty fair. The most that Twente can hope for is probably another draw, unless Lazio doesn't take the Europa League seriously and want to focus on Serie A.

[Stable090]

Manchester United cannot be expected this season, I even see them declining compared to last season.

I don’t really see much difference in their performance between last season and current season,  their performance has been poor since last season which is really bad. Whenever Manchester United are playing  match now, most people are always expecting a loss or draw from them, even when they are playing against weak teams. Manchester United haven’t been able to win any of their Europa match, they have played two matches, and all they could get in the two matches they played was a draw. Their next match will be against Fenerbahce, and I am expecting them to draw or lose the match.

[Pokapoka124]

Fenerbahce is a good team I must say, and they are currently been managed by former Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho. The match will be tough because it will be a must win game for Mourinho since he was sacked at Manchester United. And for Ten Hag, it will be a test for him because his job is at risk and he will need to win any game that came his way now.
Manchester United that will be playing away from home needs to be very careful since they needed to win the game in order to make their fans happy and to have a live hope in the Europa League because now they are out of the favorites due to their poor start in the Europa league.

This is going to be a very interesting fixture. I would not want to miss it because I trust Jose Mourinho will be looking to prove himself worthy against his former club bosses…..make them feel regret for sacking him and want to consider bringing him back for the second time. Ten Hag on the other hand will be fighting to secure his job and continue as Manchester United’s manger. Ten Hag better not lose this game if he likes his job, he may have the backing of the club’s hierarchy but the fans also have the power to force his sack.

If you look at Galatasaray in their Domestic League, it seems that they are very strong with a 4 point lead over the team below them.

Don't judge his perform in that manner as he has being a good addition to the team. He's just starting his journey at Galatasaray therefore we shouldn't expect everything to be going smoothly for him. He needs some time to adapt to the new environment and his new home but still he hasn't started badly as he has an assist and goal already while being a player for Galatasaray. Victor Osimhen is currently injured therefore there isn't much that he can do but the supporters shouldn't think that Victor Osimhen can't deliver them as that has being what he was being doing from day one in other clubs that he has played for. The supporters should just give him sometime.

Yes, it is undeniable that Osimhen's contribution at Galatasaray is quite good even though it was at the beginning of the match with them. From this statistic, we can see that at least he has contributed 2 goals and 4 assists both in the Super Lig and the Europa League. And unfortunately in yesterday's match, he got a muscle strain.

I have no doubt about  Osimhen's performance, because he is indeed a talented player. At Galatasaray he has a wider opportunity to optimize his abilities, especially in the upcoming match in the Europa League against IF Elfsborg.

He previously had an injury but it has been confirmed that he can return to the squad on October 19 when he returns.

Yes and in an interview Ivan Juric stated as if he had worked very well and did not accept when there was lot of bad talk about AS Roma performance and defeat against team that actually had much lower level than them, but this is ridiculous because defeat is still defeat and of course there will be lot of negative sentiment so they have to be able to accept it.

But indeed in that match, statistics show how Roma's dominance and many attacks were much greater than their opponents. However, all of that was in vain because it was ineffective and there were no goals at all, IF Elfsborg was indeed quite lucky because they got a penalty kick opportunity, and Roma was very unlucky with that. But behind all that, the point is that Roma's game at that time was not optimal and still wasted many opportunities. We'll see in the next matches, how they develop under Ivan Juric. In Serie A, Roma did get a win in their last match.

AS Roma could not perform consistently whether in Serie-A or Europa League matches, showing that they still could not perform optimally, indeed in Serie-A they still got good results several times but there were many mistakes and setbacks in almost every match so that this triggered a less than optimal performance in the Europa League.
Next AS Roma will face Dynamo Kyiv which is one of the strongest teams in the Ukrainian League but this is home match for AS Roma and of course on paper they have the advantage to win even though it is not guaranteed.
If in this match AS Roma can really win then it is good development as Ivan Juric said about the increasing quality, there are many team that are quite weak and not so popular in the Europa League so that it opens up many opportunities for several European team including AS Roma.
That way if they fail and are eliminated more quickly until they do not enter the last 16 or quarter-finals then it is failure for AS Roma in the Europa League at the beginning of Ivan Juric leadership.

From my previous speculation that I have said here that Lazio does have the advantage to be able to beat Twente. But actually these things are influenced by the formation and strategy used. I am sure Twente will prefer a defensive formation and provide 5 players in the defense line. And all of that with the aim of Twente wanting to hold the match to a draw. Lazio must also have the right formation to be able to break through Twente goal with a superior number to get the win. In my opinion Lazio must rely on wingers. That is Twente's weakness.

It will not be easy for Lazio who will visit Twente's home ground, although Lazio is currently in the best position in Europe but Twente has just played against Morinho's team and the result was a draw for them, Twente played quite well with their strategy and I don't think they will play with 5 defenders instead they play with 4-2-3-1 and indeed their formation is like that, they are quite good at defending they like to play with power and everyone plays quite well in their respective positions so I think in Lazio's away match to Twente's headquarters it will be difficult for Lazio to win. Lazio currently has 6 points and that's quite good with 2 big wins but Twente who are in the bottom position certainly want to take advantage of the home win to add to their points so they can be in a safe position. I'm sure there will be plenty of room for Twente to score goals and vice versa. Lazio but I don't think this match will be easy to win. Lazio I will bet on a draw because Twente is quite solid when playing at home.

I agree it is very clear on paper that Lazio is more superior and they have more experience in the European league but in this match Lazio must visit Twente's headquarters and it must be remembered that they were able to hold Man United to a draw at Old Trafford although it is undeniable that Man United's strength is not at its true level but that is a good motivation for Twente for the next match it is not impossible that they can win the match against Lazio later, football is full of surprises unexpected events will always be present, I believe there are some bettors who bet on Twente even so if I had to choose of course I would avoid this bet, the European league is now very difficult to predict, the superior team can be disappointing.

Playing at home will also be something that can benefit the team playing at their home base, and this will be felt by Twente. They also have good capital when holding a big team from the English League to a draw, yes, even though as you said they are not at their best level, but still the draw will be a boost that can raise the morale of the Twente players.
Lazio must be aware of what Twente can do in this match, don't let them underestimate their opponents. Because if that happens then something bad will happen to them. Lazio is in the lead on paper, they must prove that they can also excel on the field until the end of the match.

Manchester United cannot be expected this season, I even see them declining compared to last season. Even though in terms of player composition they have a good composition of players, even more surprising is when Manchester United players who leave can play better in their new teams, so I conclude that there is something wrong at Manchester United, either in management or the coach. Actually, now it is a little visible what is lacking or wrong with Manchester United. I can say that because I see the facts that I said before, namely when players leave and join other teams they can play better and can even be a difference in their new teams.

That is a really surprising fact for many parties and especially for Manchester United fans themselves because they must have all seen the condition of former Manchester United players when playing in a new team this season. In addition, the condition of the Manchester United team itself for now has really worsened so that there is no hope for Manchester United to become champions in the Europa League and even more so in its own domestic league for this season. And from that, of course I think that the team management must find a more appropriate coach to make Manchester United triumph again and rise from the slump like now.

Personally I feel Manchester United have a big chance of either winning the UEFA Europa League trophy this season or having an impressive performance in the competition but that I think will only happen if the club management will take the bold decision of sacking their current manager who have been unconvincing with his tactical approaches. The quality of players in the Manchester United squad is strong enough to win the the competition this season but they need a manager who'll introduce a playing pattern that'll bring out the best from them but if they continue to allow Erik ten Hag manage the affairs of the club, then it's very unlikely for Manchester United to succeed.

For those teams that are well organized in their home, They always have the opportunity to win games in their home  because they are in their home, and majority of their fans are in the stadium to watch the game which it will boost their strength to withstand their opponent. Team like Manchester city, Real Midred, Arsenal and Liverpool they are good in using home advantage to beat their opponent because they don't joke with any thing that will make their coach get angry.

I don't think Lazio players are ready to shine in this season, and they are still lacking in some aspect in this season which it will take time before their coach can help the team to improve because many teams are ahead of them already.

[JeffBrad12]

I believe Galatasaray will be in top eight, not just because they will do fine for the rest of the games, but no teams are dominating the league phase right now, there are only few teams with two wins. Meaning, if Galatasaray wins four games and lose 2, even that would eb enough.

Tottenham game will be harder to play, definitely harder than RFS no doubt, but on contrary to what people believe, I think the chance of them having a draw against Spurs is likely. Because, Galatasaray didn't care about RFS and they underestimated their opponent, they didn't run, fight or battled, and they failed to win because of this. When they are playing against the Spurs, they will be aware that they are playing against a great team, probably best team in Europa right now, so they will play better.

Galatasaray's only weakness is their defending. They can't play effective in defense especially against teams with fast counter-attacks. They concede so many goals and lose their advantage because of that. This is the point they need to work hard on. They have time for that considering the upcoming break for national matches.

If they make progress on that then everything would be just fine. They can already score goals easily. They have very capable players in the attacking area. Even in Osimhen's absence it doesn't matter for them. 

It seems true. Galatasaray looks bad enough when it comes to the Europa League. They conceded 3 and scored 5. It's kinda weird considering they have perfect stats at the Turkish League (GF24 & GA8). It seems they struggled to compete in the Europa League with their current squad. Their defense is not quality enough, but i'm not being pessimistic to see them finish at the top 8.

We have a bad game, good result, but that's not enough for them to make it into R16. They must step up or they're gonna go through play-off (I don't want this).

It is very obvious that Manchester United will not be able to go far in this competition because Jim Ratcliffe and the management board of Manchester United in their last meeting on Ten Hag issue have decided to leave him to enjoy the season with his weak coaching system that will not add any impact on the team's performance.

With the current updates on Ten Hag, it means that Manchester United will continue to suffer defeat and humiliations from their opponents which is not good for a big and rich club like United. I know that Mnachester United have good and talented players, but Ten Hag is wasting them.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Not a bad result for MU, especially since they played at Porto home ground. However, what I regret most is that MU players did not try to maintain discipline when they were leading 0-2, Ten Hag also did not immediately instruct his players to play more pragmatically and effectively. MU should try to play a little more closed by strengthening the defense sector to maintain their advantage, this strategy is very realistic, especially since they are looking for a win after only being able to draw against Twente in the first match. Ten Hag's inability to strategize was clearly visible in this match, now they are increasingly sinking to 21st place and their chances of qualifying for the next phase are getting smaller.

What I can say is that I've read some information, some articles say that they want to get rid of Ten Hag and hire an Allegri, I think it's phenomenal, but the worst decision of all is that they let Ten Hag do what he wanted with the team, and just for winning the FA Cup the club was as if they had won a League or a UCL, I really don't understand them, I know that they want to sell the club, but I think that he has to have a little more love for the club, Ten Ha left some very good players  , stars, he paid a lot for nothing, so it shows that the problem is not the players, it's him.

It seems like it's because of money considerations. At the time, they decided to give Ten Hag another chance at the start of this season, we all know that they also gave full support, or in other words, they were all in on Ten Hag, and that cost a lot of money. So if they now decide to fire Ten Hag, then what they have spent can be wasted, and there is even a possibility that they could lose more money if the replacement coach wants to build the squad again.

So if in the end, they let Ten Hag do whatever he wants, it means they feel resigned to a situation that they probably don't want to make worse because if they really want to change coaches, it means they have to prepare more funds, and they must never choose the wrong coach again, so for more options, it can only be done when the transfer window is available.
