UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

[Juse14]

I think that you are expecting too much from Roma when yoj can see that De Rossi is still having problems of improving the club's performance since the season started. This was bow we said that Roma is among the favorite last season but was kicked out of the league by Atalanta. Roma woll be playing at home is not a guarantee that they will win the match. Bilbao shouldn't be underestimated because they are in a good performance since the season started.

Normally i always like the performance of Roma but now I can't rely on them because they can easily disappoint and beside is only a team that has a strong zeel of wining people can rely on but definitely not Roma at the moment and secondly that match will be there first match of the Europa league stage and one thing I no about first matches is that it can be very tough to predict, though I really don't no if there would be a positive improvement on Roma but we are still uncertain but in the aspect of Bilbao they always maintain a good results but we cannot also be sure that they are the best suitable to win there match against Roma, I'm sure this is the kind of match gamblers wouldn't like to risk there money on.

I concur, at present Roma are hard to bank on because of inconsistency in their performance. At times, they pull out remarkable performances; more often, though, they let one down. Besides, a team's first Europa League match can be daunting to foretell since there exists pressure and adaptation effect that has to take its toll on the team.

Bilbao, on the other hand, is more stable in performance but does not guarantee winning against Roma. Both teams have strong points and weak points; this makes the race very hard to predict.

To gamblers, games such as this one are indeed very risky for there is no assurance of who would win. Therefore, being keen on staking in hard-to-foretell matches is a caution that is good.

Who is your favourite for the Europa League winner for this season?  

As the odds are already out I assume you have some teams on your mind. I know it is very early in the season to make such predictions. However it is a little easier than before because of one specific reason. Teams cannot drop down to the Europa League or drop from it to the Conference League anymore.    So the winner of that trophy is going to be one of the current teams available here.

Bookies show Manchester United as one of top favourites. But I doubt it too much unless they improve. Tottenham are seen as the team with the most chance for now. Do you agree? I personally do.

Although Manchester United and Tottenham are the two top Premier League teams which playing in the Europa League this season, but I personally am not at all sure for them to win the trophy. Because I still make a benchmark for last season about Liverpool because anyway,  when Liverpool became a very favorite team also that Liverpool was still in the title race in the Premier League standings but Liverpool still failed in the Europa League in last season.

So, reflecting on these results then I think, basically Manchester United and Tottenham are not teams that are consistently in the title race in the Premier League standings and thus, it looks like it will still be difficult for Manchester United and Tottenham to get good results in the Europa League this season. But indeed, this also cannot be used as a benchmark and cannot be used as a guarantee but still, obtaining trophies in the Europa League is still very open to any team, so I personally will not be able to predict and or choose the winning team at this moment.

I will say that it is too early to decide who will win the league since we have not seen much performance of these clubs on many matches. I don't think any club in England is capable of winning Europa cup this season because i don't see that quality in either Manchester united or Tottenham.

However, I will be surprised if any of these club happens to win it. The bookmakers are not always tight because as the season goes farther, they change the odds based on the clubs current form and performance.

[GiftedMAN]

I think that this time we will not see such a surprise and the fact that Liverpool lost against Atalanta is because they did not took the adversary that seriously and when they wanted to change things in the return leg they simply could not. Now the team of Liverpool is much different compared to last season and I think they will go far in Champions League and maybe even in final as this team is showing awesome performance so far.

If it happens that they come in Europa League I am sure they are going to win it this time.

When Liverpool qualified for the European League, they did not consider the opponents of this league very important because they felt that Liverpool was much stronger than the teams that qualified for the Europa League and they could easily beat them. Due to their over confidence, they were eliminated from the quarter finals. However, the team that was not considered in the list of the best teams in the European League won the European League. Hopefully this season Manchester United won't feel too strong and underestimate other teams. Manchester United will surely consider each team as a tough opponent and will plan one game after another but they can end the tournament with a good result in the Europa League.

You are right, Liverpool was in good form last season and they were having a very good performance in the Europa League competition as they were seen as one of the favorites to lift the trophy but they underestimated their opponent Atalanta thinking that they can easily be defeated but they eliminated Liverpool because they were able to score multiple goals in the first leg of the match.

Coming to the performance of Manchester United this season, their performance alone is worrisome it will make them to see any team as a very strong opponent since the team is not in the best shape since last season, they are going to try to show their best performance in every match they play in the Europa League competition with the hope or getting to the finals.

[Cryptoprincess101]

For first match of League phase i can considers the match between Roma vs Bilbao is a big match this because the performance of both teams last season were very impressive and just like we know Bilbao has successfully to being an Copa Del Rey champion and they also can finish at 5th place on Laliga and for Roma although they still unable to in form in Serie A i think i still considers Roma as strong contender for the title in this competition

Both teams were never met in the real tournament so this is their first time to met in Europa League and this is home match for Roma and i am sure they will attempts to gets the winning result from this match but i have to says the outcomes of this match is hard to predicted because both teams is equally strong

I think De Rossi is really finding it difficult to improve the team's performance and it is becoming worrisome because after he made some impressive performance for the club last season, it was as though if he takes charge in a full season that he will do better unlike last season that he took over the coaching job of the club from Jose Mourinho. De Rossi really have a lot of work to do in order to build the team to be able to guide them during the Europa league games and for this first game against Athletico Bilbao, even though Roma is playing at home but i doubt if they can win Bilbao because Bilbao's performance last season was very impressive so it will be a very tough match for Roma. Even though they haven't met before in an Europa match but Athletico Bilbao cannot lose easily to Roma so there will be a very big tussle in that game.

Premier league teams that always participate in the europa league always fail to get the title of the Europa League maybe because Premier league seems very difficult and more competitive, it is where they concentrate more just to end up with a better position.

 I have also noticed that the Europa League is another interesting game that you can't even predict which team will win the league for the season.     From the performance of Manchester United this season I doubt if Manchester United will be able to win Europa title this season.  The winner of the Europa League can be  a team that you don't even expect to win the league, if you check in previous seasons teams that won the title of the league it was  not expected that they will win the title of the league.

Roma may not do that well this season, De Rossi looked great when he started but after that they started to be just ok and I think they are not going to be that great at Europa neither, they are not one of the leading candidates at all.

I think people are overlaying the value of Roma right now, they are not that good and they will probably finish top ten in Serie A and lose after group stages in Europa as well. I still see them as a team that can definitely get out of the group stages, they are not that bad, you would have to be terrible to lose at the group stages, but they can definitely finish in top 24, and after that we will have to wait and see what happens. I think it is going to be something not that good for them this year.

[Weawant]

Time has always been the best litmus test to almost everything we see or gat in life, when a team appears very promising it's always a good thing to encourage and support them but again allow the life litmus to be proven which I mean don't be Hasty to not give some time to it.

Roma last season was loving very progressive especially after the arrival of d Rossi and almost in a moment Mourinho was almost forgotten because he appeared like the savior and was going to deliver them from the era of failure but what we all seem to be forgetting at that point was that initially Mourinho was also that good and now he's needed some time but wasn't given, I'm not saying Rossi is becoming bad but there's a difference from what we saw last season and I hope sooner they get back in shape as we expect they hopefully come home with the Europa trophy this season.

I can't wait to see him make his first debut in the Turkish League and he also had the opportunity to play in the UEFA European League if he was in Napoli he did not play in UEFA this season because last season Napoli finished ranked 10, looks like he will provide competitive competition in the European League this season with Galatasaray.

Well this is a unique opportunity for the player, at Napoli in the UCL he couldn't do anything because the team was in its worst phase, and it is something that seems to be very difficult because they were winning Serie A , however, that is something that happened, now with Galatasaray things can be different and things can change, I personally think that now this player here will have much more vision and I am sure that everyone will play in favor of him so that he can shine, as long as he scores goals I think that a team should help a player.

I don't think he went to Galatasaray to achieve anything serious but just to go away from Napoli who were bent on frustrating him. Osimhen going to Galatasaray is just a short term something and I expect that by January transfer window he will be considering moving to Chelsea that seems to be his preferred club. He will however, want to make some impact in Galatasaray as a great player, but he definitely will not be dreaming of winning any big title there.

Napoli missed out on one of the prominent player in the team and specifically in their frontline, Victor Osimhen. However replacing him with Romelu Lukaku, I do think they will still struggle a little bit to blend in with thrashing oppositions with high number of goals differences. Victor Osimhen in Galatasaray and hoping to see him deliver his very best for new club in the UEFA Champions League which is on the list for major tournaments in Europe. We all awaits the stellar performance of Galatasaray in top competition. It's not going to be easy but calm your nerves and enjoy the show.

It was a decision they had already made because they let Osimhen go. Since the change of coach, they were no longer interested in Osimhen because they were more concerned with bringing in Lukaku which they finally got.
Osimhen must be able to show that he can compete and make a big contribution to his new team now, because if he can show something good, then there will be many teams interested in him and willing to pay a lot. Unlike now where many teams are still hesitant to spend big money. He must improve his performance first if he wants to get a very big salary, unless he wants to go to the Saudi Pro League.

Osimhen was important with Napoli but his career looks to hit a highest in Naples with Napoli. Even if Osimhen continues his career with Napoli, I am very doubtful that he will be able to score more than 20 goals in one Serie A season and take a Capocannoniere again. He got some serious injuries that damage his body and his playing style does not change so he was constrained well by defenders in Italy last season.

Osimhen does not have a super strong body physically like Didier Drogba and when effect from surprise factor gone, Osimhen gradually returns to be an average striker and no longer at a world-class level. The loan transfer to Galatasaray does not help him to upgrade his career and I am keen his future with some normal seasons after finishing this loan contract in Galatasaray.

At least he can give his best ability in Galatasaray even though it is only temporary it will be very influential for a team like Galatasaray who want to compete fiercely in the big European competition, indeed this is not easy for the player because he will face other top clubs in the Europa League while in Galatasaray has a different quality of players than in Napoli.

For the first match in the Europa League Galatasaray will face a club that is not too favored, namely PAOK FC I think Galatasaray has a chance to win in this match and see how Victor Oshimen contributed to Galatasaray and proved his which is still quite good.

Galatasaray vs PAOK FC

I can't wait to see him make his first debut in the Turkish League and he also had the opportunity to play in the UEFA European League if he was in Napoli he did not play in UEFA this season because last season Napoli finished ranked 10, looks like he will provide competitive competition in the European League this season with Galatasaray.

For me, I really want to see him make his debut in the Turkish league! Great opportunity for him, exposing his skills on a big stage. Napoli's elimination from the UEFA Europa League this season was due to their 10th-place finish last season. Quite a bit disappointing But it is good that he will have the opportunity to make an impact at Galatasaray. Their team is looking powerful this season and could be top-players in serious completion in this tournament.

Well this is a unique opportunity for the player, at Napoli in the UCL he couldn't do anything because the team was in its worst phase, and it is something that seems to be very difficult because they were winning Serie A , however, that is something that happened, now with Galatasaray things can be different and things can change, I personally think that now this player here will have much more vision and I am sure that everyone will play in favor of him so that he can shine, as long as he scores goals I think that a team should help a player.

Actually, this transfer to Galatasaray is the real opportunity to make a difference. Napoli were in a difficult situation last year. And to remain in the Champions League with a team that had problems would have been a challenge. Playing with Galatasaray in the UEFA Europa League, he will get to play more centrally and really sparkle. If he does a good job and scores goals. That would change everything for him, and also for the team. It will be very interesting to see how he will adapt himself and fit in to Galatasaray's Europa League campaign.

Napoli missed out on one of the prominent player in the team and specifically in their frontline, Victor Osimhen. However replacing him with Romelu Lukaku, I do think they will still struggle a little bit to blend in with thrashing oppositions with high number of goals differences. Victor Osimhen in Galatasaray and hoping to see him deliver his very best for new club in the UEFA Champions League which is on the list for major tournaments in Europe. We all awaits the stellar performance of Galatasaray in top competition. It's not going to be easy but calm your nerves and enjoy the show.

You are absolutely right, Napoli will miss Victor, definitely Osimhen in their offensive line. That is a huge change replacing Romelu Lukaku. But maybe it does take time before the right balance clicks and they get accustomed to that. On the other side, the move by Osimhen to Galatasaray is exciting. It's amazing to see him get a chance for the limelight in the UEFA Champions League. Curious to see how he does. And how Galatasaray competes with the top champions in Europe? It's going to be an interesting time. and iced agreement We should enjoy the ride.

Unlike now where many teams are still hesitant to spend big money. He must improve his performance first if he wants to get a very big salary, unless he wants to go to the Saudi Pro League.

Osimhen has now got a team that can make him more confident and make him play as a core player in the new team. Osimhen seems no longer needed as long as the new coach replaces him with Lukaku so he has to adjust to the new team, Osimhen needs a good performance to make a name for himself as a player that the team needs in a core position with a more aggressive physique when playing in matches, I doubt if Osimhen wants to go to the Saudi Pro League because there is still a chance to play in the team he is currently contracted with, hopefully Osimhen can play well and win League with success in 2024/2025.

[Mame89]

For now I can only speculate that Bilbao is likely to have a big chance of beating Roma. I say this only based on the appearance of both teams that look different and Bilbao is still slightly better than Roma. But I also do not doubt Roma because this team has a coach who made a good contribution last season. Actually it is still too early to say this prediction but what I said is only temporary because in this international break there are still many surprises that occur such as injured players.
Maybe the most comfortable betting option we can bet on over or under, but we also have to see again whether later these two teams have important players who are injured.

Yes, that's right. Maybe it's still too early to judge which team will win the match later because of course after the international break both teams will experience many changes, especially before the two teams meet they have to play their respective domestic matches, AS Roma will play against Geneo and Udinese and Bilbao will play against Las Palmas, Legenes and Celta Vigo. Maybe after the domestic match we can predict the game of these two teams, because of course the influence after the domestic match is also a major factor in predicting a team because both teams will have many changes including team confidence.

But if we predict it now, of course Bilbao is better than AS Roma. AS Roma has never won a single victory in the domestic league so far, of course this will greatly affect the team's confidence and this is very different from Bilbao, even Bilbao last season won the Copa Dey Rey, mentally Bilbao is indeed superior to AS Roma. Yes, maybe this match is very suitable to bet on because I'm sure both teams will score goals.

If we look at what actually happened to Osimhen and Napoli, of course the problem arose when Osimhen stated that he wanted to leave after PSG interest in him, so this made Conte decide that he wanted to reunite with Lukaku, who he had previously coached, in my opinion, if Osimhen had not stated that he wanted to leave Of course, maybe Conte will still maximize him as Napoli main striker at this time, but as we know, Conte is a firm coach and doesn't want to force a player to be in his project if the player wants to leave all this time, his move to Galatasaray is actually only temporary after He failed to go to Chelsea or PSG because in the end Napoli froze him from the current squad, so in the end Galatasaray became a bridge for him before he would leave for another team later when the transfer market opened again.

[len01]

Exactly, by looking at the performance in the domestic league before the appearance in this competition, it becomes one of our alternatives to predict the results in the upcoming european league matches. If Roma cannot beat Udinese and Genoa, maybe I will believe more that Roma does not have another chance in the european league because mentally in the domestic league, Roma players are not ready to face this season. While the challenges in the european league will be tougher than in the domestic league. This time De Rossi really feels how difficult it is to manage the Roma squad. And if this fails, everyone will be very disappointed after praising De Rossi last season.

Europa League winner odds have been announced. Some of them are as below.



Tottenham are the biggest favourite. Manchester United follow them right behind but I don't like their game at all for now. As for Turkish teams, Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe are given the same chance. But as for Beşiktaş, they have 41.00 odds. They are also doing really well in fact especially after bringing van Bronckhorst as their new coach and signing great players such as Immobile and Rafa Silva.

I think this is mainly because we could be judging from the performance of Tottenham last season and looking at the fact that except for Manchester United and a few others, most of the teams qualified for the Europa aren't coming from a very competitive domestic league. Manchester United is supposed to be the biggest rivals alongside Tottenham but their performance so far hasn't been really encouraging enough to see them in that regards,  when Manchester United started off the season with a victory in their first game, it aroused some beliefs they could get better by the season but not long after they are displaying weakness already and this is in their domestic league so it raises doubts if they are going to perform well in the Europa.

Manchester United? Favorites for the Europa League? You've got to be kidding me. They're a mess. Ten Hag's tactics are all over the place, and the players look lost. Ugarte's a decent signing, but he's not going to fix their fundamental problems

Spurs, on the other hand, have a history of showing up in Europe. Postecoglou's got them playing a new style, and it's not perfect yet. But they've got that intangible quality; they know how to grind out results when it matters. The Europa League is wide open. Any team can get hot and make a run. But if you're looking at the favorites, Spurs are the clear choice. United? They're lucky to be in this competition. They need to focus on getting their own house in order before they start dreaming of European glory

Among all the teams that have participated in the Europa League, Manchester United is being kept ahead in all aspects. To many, this is ironic because Manchester United are not able to perform at all to the level of performance required to compete in the Europa League. After participating in a league, a team from that league will not be awarded the title based on past statistics, but based on how that team performed from start to finish, but the title will be guaranteed in one tournament of that team. In general, Manchester United are currently performing like this, if they perform like this, it will be difficult for them to win the title in the European League, let alone go to the semi-finals.
