UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

[Hanadawa]

The reason why Lyon can not be favorite is because they are just like Manchester united in terms of performance but if it was club like athletic Bilbao that is playing Manchester united I doubt if Manchester will be the favorite because athletic Bilbao is very much inform than Manchester but even though they have form than Manchester I don't think they can win Manchester united on a normal Manchester united is suppose to win Lyon but they can not be predicted sometimes.

I even predicted that Athletic Bilbao will be the UEL champion this season. Because according to history, the Spanish team is the most successful team in the UEL with Sevilla being the most successful team here. And in La Liga we can see Athletic Bilbao's performance is very impressive. They are in fourth place in the standings, only losing to Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. I think Athletic Bilbao will still be the favorite if they play against all the teams in the quarterfinals at this time. And talking about Lyon vs Manchester United, I personally favor Lyon to win the match. Manchester United is a bigger team than Lyon but that is already history. They are currently struggling in the middle of the standings. Although still undefeated in the UEL, I think the result of this match will be a draw or Lyon wins.

[Tamaperdana]

Manchester United's current attack line is indeed very bad in its finishing. This is also one of the factors that makes it very difficult for Manchester United to win every match. Because basically Manchester United's midfield is quite good at the moment, so the flow of the attack is quite good.

Manchester United attack is so weak, and their defense is weak also. I notice that Manchester United are always creating chances in their matches, but the issues which they are facing is that, they lack players which can convert those chances into goal. If you can check Manchester United last premier league matches, which was against Nottingham forest, Manchester United created lots of chances in the match, if United are having a proper attacker, then they will have conveniently won the match, but they missed all the chances created, and they lost the match.

Manchester United will be playing against lyon, the match won’t be a easy one for the two teams, but if Amorim work on Manchester United, then they should be able to win the match, but the worst mistake which Manchester United will make is allowing Lyon score first in the match, if they can score first, then Manchester United might find it difficult to equalize.

That's why Amorim needs to prepare his players to be able to play optimally in this match. Because if Manchester United players make just one mistake, it will definitely have very fatal consequences. So even though it will be difficult, if they want to win, Amorim must be able to make his players at Manchester United play well in this match. Because this match in the European league is the only chance for Manchester United to enter the UCL. So Manchester United players must be able to play with their best performance, in order to win this match. Because in my opinion a draw is also a bad result for Manchester United. Because even though the first leg will be held at Lyon's headquarters, getting a draw is still not a good result for Manchester United. That's why I think it would be better if Manchester United won this match. So that when competing in the 2nd leg, Manchester United can play more calmly.

[Alpha Marine]

Manchester united is in their worst form this season yet they defeated Real Sociedad and has lost in a game in this competition this season. Lyon is not a better team than Real Sociedad, so Lyon is a work over for Manchester united in this game, Lyon can not win a wounded Manchester united, they have lost all in the premier league and all their hope to restore their  season is on this European cup. Even if the odds is against Manchester united i see them scaling through to the finals, no team can stop them not even Atletico Bibao nor Rangers.

Calling Lyon a walkover for United tells me all I need to know. You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Talking like Real Sociedad is a top team. They're currently 3rd on the La liga table and have been in poor form recently, yet it was no easy game for United. If not for the red card Sociedad got, it would have been a lot more difficult for United.

I doubt if you've been watching United and these other teams play. I'm not saying Man United will definitely lose to Lyon, but saying they're a walkover is just funny.
Athletic Bilbao is an even bigger problem than Lyon, yet you say they can't stop Man United. Lol.

[Litzki1990]

If Amorim does not do something good then the opportunity to win the title will be lost because even though Lyon is below their level, anything can happen. The Europa League is one of the remaining opportunities and if it is not utilized as well as possible then next season they will not play in the Champions League. The unbeaten record needs to be maintained by Amorim so that lifting the trophy later will be much more memorable, although it depends on how they are able to go through some of the processes that are still there.

Manchester United only hope this season to qualify for the UEFA Champions League is if they win the UEFA Europa League trophy. Checking their statistics, I would applaud them for doing a good job because they've come closer to reaching the final phase. Manchester United headcoach, Ruben Amorim knows what's at stake and he wouldn't rush into his team into making up anything that would jeopardize their form this season. The Red Devils facing Lyonnais, who do you think will be eliminated and one that will qualify for next phase? We'll watch the tougher fight between these clubs.

So far I would say that Manchester United are in a pretty good position in the Europa League competition. They have a lot of big matches ahead of them but they have to move forward step by step. If Manchester United can qualify for the quarter finals then it will not be a big deal for them to qualify for the semi finals. But the important thing in this case is that Manchester United sometimes perform very well in some matches and in some simple matches they perform poorly. Now if the team players perform poorly in easy matches and if they fall behind by few goals against the opponent in the beginning but they cannot come back from that place. Manchester United cannot take this risk but they should at least go into the field with the confidence that they are the best of the teams in the Europa League and that they are worthy contenders to win the title in this Europa League.

According to bookies, Lyon will likely to win than Manchester United because Lyon is slightly favorite.

It's very dangerous I think to bet on moneyline, anything can happen including draw. It's better to bet on both teams to score because both of them like to scores and they have a bad defense.

Even though Lyon is a Ligue 1 team, but they transform really well after they sign many players, they changed from a team that enter relegation to reach 7th position.

Lyon's odds is only @2.61, which is very very close to the Manchester United @2.86. In this case, i can't be sure if it's gonna be a one sided game. Just because lyon is slightly lower in term of odds than MU, you think they will win it.

Lyon might be bad at league 1, but their performance is sometimes differ when playing at europe. There may be some magics to show by them.

I'd prefer to pick BTTS or draw. It most likely both teams to score, and game will end with draw as the final result.

[CageMabok]

I don't put much believe on the bookies odd because they don't know it all and they are also predicting. I have seen many matches that went against the club that the bookies made the favorite. This match will be among those matches that will prove the bookie wrong. I will bet on United and not Lyon because no matter how in form Lyon is, United is still better than them.

Bookies are also parties who are looking for more profit in every game so when there is a match that is quite crucial for both teams from different Leagues, they can set a trap to make everyone influenced by the predictions they make. So it is right not to trust bookies too much because they are also not perfect humans when it comes to any football predictions so making a bet on a team that we believe in ourselves is a much more appropriate choice than just relying on predictions from other parties.

This match will be among those matches that will prove the bookie wrong. I will bet on United and not Lyon because no matter how in form Lyon is, United is still better than them.

What will make me convince more to vote for Manchester United to win this match ahead of Lyon is because the Europa League is their last resort to depend on in this season. They have failed to achieve anything in the premier league and with the look of things, Manchester United will try everything possible to get a comfortable victory in this match. The bookies cannot be right always, they can also make mistakes in their predictions and chose the wrong team to win. If your choice does not align with what the bookies have on their prediction, it is better you stick to yours and watch how the game plays out whether in your favour or not in your favour. I see Manchester United as the favourite for this match and I don’t dispute the fact a bit that they can’t win the match after losing out on the race for even the top four on the table.

Staying at the 13th position at this time has to be literally their worst they have been in a very long time, usually at this time on the league table the poorest you could find them would be around top 10 position in the premier league table  but so far they have been doing really terribly at the premier league but it's been quiet different with the europa, and it's sometimes not been adding up enough because their performances has bene completely different in the europa which could somehow mean that they are putting up a different performances in the Europa or may be facing lesser challenges in the euroap because it's true that some of the teams Manchester united has played against in the europa cannot equates the teams in the premier league.  Against lyon most likely Manchester will win considering their europa records and performance so far.

They do look as if they are a good team when you look at Europa league games they had, if you never looked at the premier league games then you would assume they are doing wonderful. However, reality is very different of course because if you know where to look at, you will see that even after the winter break they ended up being one of the worst. United must be missing Ole at this point, I know they fired him and was happy when they did, but ever since him, they never got any success.

To be fair, Erik Ten Hag was one of the worst managers I have ever seen in my life, and even he managed to win FA cup before being sacked, that is a huge achievement compared to how they look now. United may not be doing anything good this season, Europa seems quite unlikely.

There are indeed many such matches, but that doesn't mean that bookmakers make such odds randomly without indicating favourites. To your argument you can make exactly the opposite, that we see many matches where the lower odds proved that the team is the favourite. Low odds are of course not the main indicator and you need to analyse the situation yourself, but it discourages the desire to bet on the favourite team

Manchester United are favorite to win the Europa League following their incredible performance. It's obvious Manchester United have lost interest to push further on the EPL table, they're entirely focused on the Europa League because this is not just some random tournament but an important one that will lift them weigh above other oppositions and land them direct in the UEFA Champions League next season. You see why Ruben Amorim is not sleeping, he's more interested in making proper grounding runs for his club, he wants the very best for the Red Devils and there's probably no way he's giving up without a fight.

Manchester United are no doubt the best still in this match. The bookies may have favoured Lyon but I still don’t see why they did that and that should make one more careful in selecting the right team to win. Manchester United have shown some great performance in this competition and only in this competition I have great believe in them that they will do well and make the best outcome from this season through the Europa League competition. They may have been poor generally from the start of the competition, but I just feel they’re the best choice for this game, they won’t lose easily to Lyon even if their performance in the main league is poor, they can still do something about their performance and prevail in this match.

Choosing BTTS seems like a better choice in the Lyon vs Manchester United match. In my opinion, the match is actually quite difficult to predict, because both teams have performed unconvincingly this season. Indeed, in the Europa League, both teams have managed to appear with different performances, but that is not enough to say that one of them is better and more dominant. With Lyon acting as the host in the first leg, the match will look balanced. In terms of ambition, Manchester United is certainly much more ambitious to win, because the Europa League is the last path to get a ticket to the Champions League. While Lyon still has a chance through domestic competition.

[Rengga Jati]

I'm not w fan of Manchester United but telling me that Lyon stands a better chance of eliminating Manchester United than the Red Devils doing the contrary is something I'll never believe. Manchester United have been visibly inconsistent in the English Premier League this season but their results in the UEFA Europa League have been very impressive and that's why I'll be backing them to get the better of the French team and reach the semi finals of the competition.

Man United is no doubt to have a better quality if we consider the squad. Man United has many popular players, they are also managed by a good coach. Even if they performed inconsistently in EPL, they showed an opposite performance in Europa League. They have got some nice results in Europa League, that's why some people favor Man United to reach the final round. Honestly, if we compare Man United with Lyon, I say no doubt that Man United is much better. The level of competition of Ligue 1 and EPL is quite different, EPL is surely higher level of domestic football competition.

The bookies are right. Lyon won their match in the Ligue 1 yesterday against LOSC. I watch them play which proves they are better to win that match than Manchester United. If their fans show more energy Lyon players will feel the electric to play better using it as a home advantage against United. One last thing, Manchester United are terrible in finishing.

This will surely be the end of the road for Manchester United in the europa league.

Everyone will make a more realistic choice for a particular team in a competition regardless of whether they like the team or not. Because in terms of the level of competition that Manchester United and Lyon often face, it is clearly different because of the fierceness of the domestic leagues that they face each. And in this case I am also not so sure that Lyon will break Manchester United's dominance in the Europa League this season although it is not impossible to happen, but Manchester United will see this match as a path to the semi-finals so they will play their best.

Athletic Bilbao is an even bigger problem than Lyon, yet you say they can't stop Man United. Lol.

Yes, if you look at Manchester United's current performance, I think Manchester United will have a hard time beating Lyon to qualify for the semifinals. Because we all know for sure, even though Manchester United is a big team that competes in the European league, and has a lot of good players. But in reality Manchester United's current performance is very bad. Even in its domestic league, Manchester United has a hard time competing in the top 4 positions and currently Manchester United is only able to be in 13th position in the English league. This proves that Manchester United's current performance is very bad. So if you say that Manchester United will be able to qualify for the final round, I personally also doubt that assumption. Because once again I emphasize that even against Lyon Manchester United has a fairly large potential to lose. So in my opinion, let alone entering the final, to be able to enter the semifinals seems like it will be very difficult for Manchester United.

I am more confident that Manchester United will advance to the next round compared to Lyon and this does not mean that I am underestimating Lyon's ability, but if you look at the struggles of both teams so far, Manchester United are still the favorites to advance to the next round. Manchester United's journey this season has not been very consistent in the Premier League but they have been quite consistent in the Europa League.

The worst condition that will happen in the first leg will end in a draw and I am sure Lyon will not be easy to beat Manchester United. So with a result like this it will benefit Manchester United in the second leg later.

What people predict will definitely be different, because everyone has their own view in judging a team whether they will be able to do their best or not.

In the case of Manchester United, I think we should separate their performance in the Premier League and in the Europa League, because their performance in the 2 competitions is different. However, Lyon also has a good chance to beat them in this match, their performance in the domestic league is not too bad. That is the capital for them to be able to give defeat to Manchester United.

You don't need to use the performance of a team in their domestic league to judge the outcome of this match. Lyon is playing in a very weak league that none of them can win the league since history and they are weakling to PSG. I wouldn't use that to say Lyon is strong. Let them come to the pitch and let's see what they gat. EPL clubs will win all the clubs in Ligue 1, apart from PSG.
