UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

[Weawant]

Roma is a big team and that's going to be a big challenge for AZ Alkmaar to defeat them, then for the game that will be played between Twente and Malmö, I think Malmö will defeat Twente hands down and take home maximum of 3 points.
But this season Europa League is kind giving us a different outcome based on the league stage competition that this season comes with.

Calling Roma a Big team for me should come with some relativity and that is because of the instability around their performance in their domestic and even the Europa league so far, some how their strength as a big team is been seen mostly when they are actually playing against a small or average team in their domestic league, but in the Europa, i don't see them in that light as they have actually struggled to this point in the Europa so far.

[hyudien]

Oh yes, this season we will not see teams coming from the Champions League because they were eliminated there, because with this new format, 100% of the teams in the round of 16 are teams that are actually in the Europa League. I don't know if this is something that will reduce the competition in the round of 16 or not, because usually we will see several big teams coming from the Champions League and that makes the competition more interesting. Meanwhile, this season we won't see that.
What do you think about this, is it like I said that there is a decline or is this not going to change anything?

I don't think this will really change the competitive atmosphere in the last 16 of the European league. Because of course the teams that have entered the last 16 in the European league this season are very great teams. So if we think that this new regulation will make the competition in the round of 16 less interesting, I think that assumption is not correct. Because if we look at the teams that have the potential to enter the round of 16 in the European league this time, there are several teams that could be said to be big teams too. Like Lazio, Bilbao, Lyon and also Man United. So with these teams, you can be sure that the competition in the round of 16 in the European league will definitely be quite tight. Therefore, I personally will not miss the matches in the round of 16 of the upcoming European League. Because I think these matches will be very interesting to bet on. Apart from that, I want to ask, according to your predictions, which team has the greatest potential to enter the final round of this European league. Because I personally don't have any predictions regarding this.

Surely we will have different opinions on this matter, some people say it will make the competition less interesting because inevitably the presence of teams from the Champions League becomes the team that ultimately makes the competition more interesting, because some of the teams that come from there are also teams that are actually favorites to be able to advance to the round of 16 of the Champions League.
But what you said is also true, because after all the teams that are here are the best teams that have succeeded in representing their respective leagues, so they can also make the competition interesting and maybe it won't affect it at all.

Roma's performance after changing coaches has not been good but they are still one of the big teams with a good mentality so that is something to be aware of and a team like Roma has everything to be able to make a surprise so I think they cannot be underestimated even though they are not in their top performance so far.
And indeed the competition in the Europa League is quite fierce so as always happens every season if there will be a big surprise that happens so it is not easy to predict something in the Europa League.

In the last matches for Roma there seemed to be some ray of hope, they beat Parma and drew with Milan. They came very close to the relegation zone in Serie A, which is unacceptable for such a team, and now they are trying to fix it. And in the LE they are doing better, for this tournament they have a high enough status, so Ranieri can try to achieve something here, because in Serie A the season is a failure for them.

AS Roma can be so much unpredictable and they’re not a team you’ll give most of your hopes to because they will likely leave you disappointed than be joyful of the outcome of their result in the league. AS Roma have been generally not impressive this season and their nature of playing this season won’t make them win anything or even stand a potential contender for any of the competition’s trophy. They are not so good in the Serie A and that poor form has also extended to the Europa League competition which is not what is expected of them this season. They are amongst the big teams name in the Europa League, they ought to have been performing better than they’re doing now.

[punk.zink]

I think this season will lower the level of competition because clubs that are relegated from the Champions League usually have better performance compared to clubs that compete in the Europa League itself and usually they will try to perform well in the Europa League because they have failed in the UCL, but this season is different they will face clubs that compete in the UEL this season, the level of competition has decreased but their schedule is denser than before because there are more people participating in the competition than in the old format, this also applies to the Europa Conference League.

Yes, there will no longer be any outcast teams from the Champions League entering the Europa League in this new format, so the number of good teams will not increase and the competition will not be as hard as before, but I think this will make the competition have more fairness because all the teams start from the same starting point and whoever can survive until the end and win the trophy, they are the best. This new format really gives different results and many surprises appear.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

To be honest, I see that the change in the current UEL format is more inclined provide more competitive competition and we as spectators actually see it as a positive thing even though it has become a nightmare for big teams , with the change in the format of the competition, each team is required to have a good squad depth, because with the increase in the number of clubs and also matches,  Of course, it will require extraordinary performance and consistency to their remain balanced both in the domestic league and the UEL this season, in addition from the tight schedule which may be owned by big teams, precisely has opened up opportunities for underdog teams to be able to compete today as title contenders and that we did not find in the old format of the UEL previously.

Actually it's much better because it will create much fiercer competition and for teams that are too strong have the same chance to compete. The increasing number of matches will cause problems with squad depth and maybe the coach will find it much more difficult to rotate players. That's why I said there are positive and negative values with the implementation of the new rules in the competition, but this is not a reason for any team to seek justification. Some teams still have to fight to qualify for the next round through the playoffs and the rest will qualify automatically with the number of points they have collected. If you look at the rankings and points, it might be very close so that in the remaining matches the teams have to fight harder to qualify for the next round.

Roma is a good team and indeed must still be watched out for by all other teams in the Europa League this season because if in the two remaining matches in this standings Roma can win it by getting full points, of course their position will be much better and even Roma can be very dangerous when going through the playoffs. So underestimating a team like Roma can sometimes be a fatal mistake even though Roma's own performance is still not good when competing in their domestic league this season.

I count Roma out as a club, that one can put his hope on to win Europa League this season. This is because there are some stronger teams from Seria A that is in a good form, and would win Roma anytime, any day. Lazio is in their super form and it they clash with Roma, Lazio will defeat them. Let's hope to see another club in the finals, and not Roma.

[Jatiluhung]

And tomorrow Galatasaray will compete against Dynamo Kyiv, in my opinion Galatasaray can definitely win this match, what do you think.

Galatasaray must win the match against Dynamo Kyiv, 3 points will give them something more comfortable in the standings to be able to qualify directly to the next round.
Especially considering Galatasaray's next opponent is Ajax, although I'm sure Galatasaray will be favored. But it won't be easy enough for them to conquer Ajax who will play at home.
Galatasaray has a very big chance of qualifying, but Ajax will also fight for them to qualify, so they won't be easy to beat. The match will be exciting.

You are right, to make Galatasaray safer in its current position, getting the full 3 points when facing Dynamo Kyiv is mandatory. Because if Galatasaray manages to get the full 3 points against Dynamo Kyiv, it is very likely that its position will rise to 3rd or 4th in the European league. So that way, when Galatasaray faces Ajax, the mentality of the Galatasaray players will not be too pressured, because basically they have enough to be able to secure a slot to enter the round of 16 directly without a play off. But even so, in the match against Ajax, Galatasaray would actually be better if they were able to win 3 points too. Because if this happens, of course Galatasaray will be safer in qualifying for the next round. Galatasaray could even shift Lazio's position from the top of the European league standings. But Ajax is not an easy opponent, so being able to get a draw in this match, I think is more than enough for Galatasaray. Because the most important thing is that Galatasaray can qualify directly for the round of 16.

In Serie A, perhaps at first I could no longer trust AS Roma because they continued to get bad results which even made them almost close to the relegation zone. But it seems like they have indeed risen, even though it is very slow. And I think in the European League they will fight harder because they know in Serie A their chances of getting a ticket to the UCL are very small. But in the European League, AS Roma's opportunity is still there and quite big as long as they can continue to fight better. And in the next match against AZ I think it will be a match that AS Roma must win. And I believe AS Roma will be able to do it. Even though their performance is not completely stable, against AZ it should not make AS Roma lose points.

Perhaps AS Roma's biggest difficulty is in the 8th match, namely against Eintracht Frankfurt, where their current performance is quite good. And even in the Bundesliga they are now in 3rd place, which means that Eintracht Frankfurt's strength cannot be underestimated. In fact, I might even predict they will beat AS Roma.

However, we cannot underestimate a club, whether in a bad or good situation, because they can change at any time or they have great luck so they can advance even though they have to work harder. There are many clubs that can achieve something not because they play very well, but because they are very lucky. For example, last season when Manchester United became champions in the FA Cup, logically they were not better than Manchester City at that time, but they were the ones who managed to become champions, and I think one of the reasons is because of luck.

I think the vulnerability to player injuries is a downside here, although in many respects, the change in match format is seen as having more positive aspects. Big teams can actually easily overcome any challenge if they are in their best condition, because they have quality rotation options to get around the tight schedule. Teams coming from less competitive Leagues will still struggle to compete in the Europa League, there is not much they can gain from the change in format if they do not have sufficient squad depth.

The League phase is the most crucial stage of the new Europa League format, entering the round of 16 and beyond, everything will seem normal as in previous seasons. So the elite teams with experience will be favored by many parties again, all of which will be proven as the Europa League progresses. However, the new format seems to have succeeded in attracting more fans.

like as I said above, the change in the UEL format has allowed every team to be a title contender whether it is an underdog or a favorite team as long as they have a better squad depth, because with a tight schedule in the UEL and domestic leagues demanding every coach to be able to rotate players well, we can take an example in this season UCL where a big team like Madrid,  Milan and also Manchester City are having a hard, because many of their players are injured and I think that also applies to every team that is in the UEL.
In the league phase their challenge is tougher at the moment to qualify for the knockout phase, so I agree with what you said, if the knockout phase will be easier for every team, especially the team that has had better experience so far in European competitions.

The situation and condition of AS Roma at least reflects they not a big team with a lot of potential for victory, but indeed, basically AS Roma has a great history in European football,so that AS Roma is a famous team in Europe. Thus, at least there is still a chance for AZ Alkmaar to be able  to beat AS Roma because after all, their points in the current Europa League standings are only one point different. But indeed, because AS Roma also has a new coach,  it might provide good motivation to be able to make AS Roma better at this time. Thus, AS Roma will have a better chance of winning than AZ Alkmaar, or a draw result also seems possible.

Definitely, because for someone to call AS Roma a big team, then he doesn’t know who AS Roma is or how they really suffer to get on their feet. I will not say that they are a big team because viewing from their performance, you will know that they are just a struggling team for now, although they were quite a bit good in that game then, but in history I don’t think AS Roma has ever gotten the Europa League trophy. So what made him think that they are a big team? Because even in their 6 games that they played in the Europa League, I know they only won 2, drew 3, and lost 1, so I am still confused about which of their performances made him think that they are a big team.

I don't think so because Roma is not that big although when it comes to experience maybe Roma is better than AZ but in terms of the current conditions and the quality of the club actually I think they are quite comparable without being bigger or smaller.

It is undeniable that in terms of player popularity maybe Roma will be much better known because indeed the Eredivisie is still below Serie A in terms of popularity but in the end when talking about performance, the condition of the club in comparison then they are equal for me so AZ can still win now even though Roma is still the favorite.

But indeed, after all, by looking at the position and points they currently have, it is certain that 3 points are the target that must be emphasized by both teams because if they lose this match then of course the chance to play off can become thinner for them because in terms of points they are still not safe.

Roma is a good team but have turned to something else which keep surprising me, but their weak side always show in the home league, they tend to have a fair performance in Europa league because they have had one defeat since the start, three draws and two wins. Roma can still improve in the performance if they make use of this coming transfer window, so no hope is lost. I have hope in them in winning the title, I only considered home league has the most difficult title to win because it takes a huge chance to win it, it not made for the weak team.

The best performance AC Roma has given in Europa League competition is to make it twice as the Europa runner-up clubs, nothing away from that, we should begin to think highly of them that there is a possibility of them lifting the Europa League trophy again.

The most recent trophy they have won is the Conference League, which was the 2021/2022 season. Other of their seasons, were the same poor performance we are seeing them suffering currently. With their poor performance this season and the changes they have made in the club towards changing of coach, their poor performance continues. No better improvement in the team seen

It must be admitted that Roma is a good team but considering that they have changed coaches several times this season their performance has become uncertain, in the European league they still have the opportunity to show their seriousness in the title race because their current position in the standings is quite safe, with two remaining matches Roma must win both to ensure they can qualify for the next phase, unlike in the local league Roma is helpless there is no hope for them there, if Ranieri fails to bring Roma further in the European league or improve his position in Serie A it is certain that his career with Roma will not be long.

No doubt that Roma is a bigger team compared to AZ Alkmaar but with the current situation of the club, it will be difficult for AS Roma to win AZ Alkmaar presently in the Europa League. AZ Alkmaar will have an added advantage because the match will be played at their home.

I don't totally agree with your prediction for the match between Twente and Malmo, there is always a possibility that Twente may pull an upset against Malmö.
