UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

I looked at the match fixtures and realized PAOK will have a very hard time advancing past playoffs.
Playing with Galatasaray and Manchester United?

It'll surely be entertaining to see these matches but I think PAOK will have a very hard time against such great teams. Nevertheless it's a honor to have two Greek teams in the league this year.
Hopefully PAOK and Olympiakos have some luck so we can see Greek football advancing with them.

Their first match away to Galatasaray's headquarters will be difficult to win by Răzvan Lucescu's team considering that Galatasaray is currently bringing in Osimhen, but if they are aiming for a draw, Paok could have a chance because the Turkish league is not as strong as other leagues. I have seen some of their UEFA schedules, in the two matches they will face PCSB and FC Viktoria Plzeň
to achieve positive results, the chances are very big, and could be good capital for the next match against Man United.
However, if we talk about the chances of qualifying for the next phase, Paok does not have enough chances, I am more sure that Olimpyakos as a representative of the Greek league will qualify.

Manchester United will definitely look strong when it comes to Europa, this is a level they can play at and I am sure that they will be fine. I am not saying that they will win the title but they will definitely be favourites whenever they play a team and that's a good position to be in and I believe that they are going to have a good luck beating almost any team. There could be a shocking result here and there at times but that doesn't mean that we are going to end up with a good result, it just means that likely result being a win for them is the possibility in most games even maybe all games.

I think they have what it takes to win right now and Europa looks like it's a place they can get a win and that should be something that will do fine in the end. I know that we are going to see United be fine and not really lose games, at least they will get out of the group stages and then after that it depends on the bracket and who they are going to face against.

I understand your expectations about Manchester United, and we know that they are actually trying their best when it comes to the Europa League, but we’ll all agree that they will definitely end up disappointing us again, but I don’t know if this season they might do something different, although they might still be strong and lose games with some small teams in the league because it has happened before. 
 
They still have some slight chance of winning, and I can still agree with you that they will make it out of the group stage, but I don’t think they will be able to get the trophy because they always end up spoiling their performance when we are already in the middle of the season or even the end of the season, but I don’t know if they will change this season. 

[SquallLeonhart]

Just because someone unexpected won last year, doesn't mean that some unexpected team will end up winning as well. This is why I think it's quite obvious that we are going to see this season be something that will take a while and we are going to see this changing on that situation. I believe that there are few good teams this season and one of them will win it this year and will do fine.

We should be looking at this as something that will take a while and we are going to see this getting a good result because big teams spend way too much money to not win this one, they need to show at least "some" success to fans. Like for example United has to win this, doesn't mean they will but as a big team they will keep trying harder and that should be meaning something and if they can win then ETH could keep his job so they will do their very best to try to win this one. Unless players sell out the game just to get him fired which isn't that unlikely.

With the depth of the squad that Manchester United currently has, which is far better than all other contestants, Ten Hag should be able to present the Europa League trophy this season. In my opinion, many people are still influenced by the surprise that happened last season, but it seems unlikely that it will happen again. Meanwhile, we realize that Ten Hag priority scale remains in the Premier League, they are targeting to finish in the top four of the standings, while the Europa League trophy is in second place. The journey to get a ticket to the Champions League is actually easier to take through the Europa League, because the competition in the Premier League is much more competitive. On paper, even though Manchester United often experience ups and downs in performance, they are worthy enough to be placed in first place in the list of favorites to win. The 7-0 win over Barnsley in the League Cup was a sign that they have now found their best form.

It is actually still too early to know how Man United will end this competition. However, Man United should have good chance to go far if we consider their squad strenght. Even if they sometimes dissapointed us, but they look playing better in the last 2 matches at least. After they were defeated by Liverpool, Man United won the match against Southampton with 3 goals and destroyed Barnsley with 7 goals. I think this is a good sign for Man United before the match against Twente in Europa league. If they can win against Twente, I am confident that Man United probably has a chance to reach semi-final or even the final round.

They still have some slight chance of winning, and I can still agree with you that they will make it out of the group stage, but I don’t think they will be able to get the trophy because they always end up spoiling their performance when we are already in the middle of the season or even the end of the season, but I don’t know if they will change this season. 

In Europa league, ideally Man United should be one of the favorite teams for the champion. But due to their inconsistency, people doubt Man United to reach the final. However, with some new players, I think Man United changes a bit. If they can keep their good game, they potentially to play in the final round in Europa league. Now, it depends on Ten Hag, how Ten Hag to motivate all players to maintain their best level in playing.

Indeed PAOK is truly in a very tight corner because Galatasaray is in their best for this season as they have shown in the few matches they have played so far. I will not think it twice picking them over PAOK because their scoring pattern this season is unique and the entrance of Victor Osimhen is a huge factor that will turn things in their favor. Manchester United is another experienced team in the Europa and even though they are not doing so great in their league, the Europa is a different game that comes with its peculiarities that I expect Man United to showcase something different and special.

[pusaka]

If Erik Ten Hag is able to successfully win the FA cup and Carabao Cup that is huge success for the club because as they say “one big journey begins with just a step”.  If Erik Ten Hag is capable of achieving that he can be trusted with the task of achieving even more with time. Right now, the main focus should be reviving the team and maintaining consistency this season.

Eric Ten Hag isn't the best coach for Manchester United and not a bad one either. He might be able to maintain Manchester United in one of the spots dedicated for UEFA competitions or he can progress with the team in a side competition like FA Cup but definitely it will be hard for him and his team to win other competitions especially EPL.

Maybe this will be a difference of opinion between us, because in my opinion even though they can be champions in the FA Cup for example, if the game is bad in the Premier League or other more prestigious Leagues it is still not enough. For example, what happened last season, they were saved and could be in the Europa League because with all their luck they managed to beat Manchester City. Will they continue to hope for luck.
At this time I can say that Erik Ten Hag is not the right coach for Manchester United, I can't see their promising performance, instead I see them continuing to decline. This season will be the season that Erik Ten Hag must prove, if Manchester United performs badly, then there is no reason for management to retain this coach.

Hopefully PAOK and Olympiakos have some luck so we can see Greek football advancing with them.

Last season actually Olympiakos playing in this competition but because at the end of group stages they only able to finish at 3rd place then Olympiakos failed to advances to the next round and they have to playing at Conference League but surprisingly their performance at Conference League is very impressive and they can being an the champion of last season after beat Fiorentina at the final match

I am not too following the development of Greek clubs but as far as i know the clubs from this country is very rare to gets the trophies from European competitions even if i am not mistaken Greek clubs usually only being an weak teams for European Competitions so the achievement from Olympiakos is very special because this proven the clubs from Greek can able to gets the trophy

Olympiakos will starting their journey on Europa League when they fight against France club Lyon and this is their first meeting in this competition but Lyon performance is really unstable because at their domestic league Lyon still hard struggle to gets the winning result so probably Olympiakos can taking advantages from this situation and collect their first 3 points from Europa league

I think it would not be an exaggeration to say that the Europa League means almost nothing to Manchester United. If they had not even managed to get out of the group stage, but at the same time they had shown good results in the APL, at least held on to the top 4, then there would be no claims against them. And now, when the start for Manchester United in the APL was simply terrible, it is clear that ten Hag will try to achieve some results in other tournaments, but with the game they are showing now, I doubt that they are capable of winning the Europa League.

I'm thinking differently about that. PAOK is going to be a nightmare for the Turkish club. They look equal to Olympiakos, and I think that's going to be a hard game for Galatasaray.

But obviously they are too far away to be compared with Manchester United. All in all, PAOK is gonna win/draw against Galatasaray and lose to United.

It'll surely be entertaining to see these matches but I think PAOK will have a very hard time against such great teams. Nevertheless it's a honor to have two Greek teams in the league this year.

I checked some Galatasaray fans. They're worried about the result against PAOK. They did sign Osimhen, but he might not carry them to win the game. I think PAOK should get feisty against them. And they're now feeling pessimistic about taking three points from PAOK.

The feelings of the fans have nothing to do with the realities on ground and as you know, fans will always be emotional irrespective of the advantages their team have over their opponent. Furthermore, with or without Osimhen, Galatasaray is a serious team that can confront an average team like PAOk. Remember that they started the season without him yet that won all their matches comfortably. The coming of Osimhen is just an added advantage.

There is still time for both teams to maximize their performance before the match is played next week, so far Osimhen has not played his debut match with Galatasaray but I think they certainly will not let Osimhen just sit on the bench in the europa league match, before the first match of the Europa League starts of course Galatasaray must first play a derby match against Fenerbache in the domestic league, So whether or not Osimhen presence in the Galatasaray squad of course we can see in the derby match later, Galatasaray have a better squad than Paok so I think Paok is not an opponent that will make Galatasaray fans shrink mentally this season, especially since they have greater expectations after they managed to recruit Osimhen this season, the only problem faced by Galatasaray when facing Paok is the loss of their main goalkeeper (Muslera) who is still banned after receiving a red card in the previous match against Youngboys.

[Salahmu]

Olympiakos will starting their journey on Europa League when they fight against France club Lyon and this is their first meeting in this competition but Lyon performance is really unstable because at their domestic league Lyon still hard struggle to gets the winning result so probably Olympiakos can taking advantages from this situation and collect their first 3 points from Europa league

Olympiakos is going to be the winner of the match even if this will be there first match of the league but there previous matches has given us all the facts we needed to predict how the match will likely be, so right now on the Greece super league Olympiakos has not been won by any of the teams on all of there matches and besides if there is any other league they hold precious this Europa league stage is one of them and having a positive results is dependent on there efforts.

The match will be played on the 26 September and so many other clubs will also be playing there first match of the league including Tottenham Hotspur against Qarabag, if Tottenham Hotspur failed to succeed on getting there three points then I will no that this season is totally not for them because Qarabag is not a strong team.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Osimhen is a good player no doubt and Galatasaray is a lucky team right now but, I don’t expect Osimhen to do all the work load except the team don’t want to improve besides he is not so good in every angle. At least Osimhen is a helping hand with or without a quality player, my point here is they need to back Osimhen up for positive result because he might leave early depending on his contract.

That's how you say it, in fact I always use Barcelona as an example with Pep Guardiola and Messi , when Messi played Guardiola focused on making all the players play for him , why ? Because Messi had a nose for goal and if his teammates set up the play for him to be able to do it, then all the better, so that was one of the reasons why Barcelona was so impressive in a few years, no one could beat them , I think the same should happen with Glatasaray and Osimhen, if they do like that I think this team will undoubtedly be the one to make the difference , well I think like that, because this team is key.

You don't need to undestimate Manchester united because they might surprise us but I am still in doubt because their performance will be tested in EPL this weekend since I think they are improving from the results of their last two matches.

However, playing with an average or strong team is what one will use to judge their performance if they will be able to go far in Europa. If they cannot maintain consistent like in their last two matches, it will be an impossible task.

United is favored to win the Europa League. Same as last season. But, I think the same narrative as last season will happen soon. They're gonna fail at the mid competition. I'm not losing my optimism toward United, but i stick to the possible result.

Manchester United's performance is still up and down. I think it's hard to imagine them winning the competition and beating all of their opponents.

Just so you know, it's much harder to predict the Europa League winner than the UCL.

[Awaklara]

Manchester United's performance is still up and down. I think it's hard to imagine them winning the competition and beating all of their opponents.

This season's Europa League will not be easy for MU, even teams like Tottenham and Roma. They get a good chance and are favored because of their big names. But looking at their performance in the domestic league, they are not good at the beginning of the season. Their performance is still up and down. But at least, I want to see those big names will compete for the quarter-finals. Losing those big names in the round of 16, will not be good for a competition as big as the Europa League.

[fadhilz123]

There is still time for both teams to maximize their performance before the match is played next week, so far Osimhen has not played his debut match with Galatasaray but I think they certainly will not let Osimhen just sit on the bench in the europa league match, before the first match of the Europa League starts of course Galatasaray must first play a derby match against Fenerbache in the domestic league, So whether or not Osimhen presence in the Galatasaray squad of course we can see in the derby match later, Galatasaray have a better squad than Paok so I think Paok is not an opponent that will make Galatasaray fans shrink mentally this season, especially since they have greater expectations after they managed to recruit Osimhen this season, the only problem faced by Galatasaray when facing Paok is the loss of their main goalkeeper (Muslera) who is still banned after receiving a red card in the previous match against Youngboys.

If we count from today, then the Europa League this season will start in a week's time so that each team still has to play in their respective domestic leagues before reaching the first match in the Europa League this season. Galatasaray is a strong team in its own domestic league so it is very clear that they will not let Osimhen be on the bench because Osimhen is a player who is very much liked by the Galatasaray team. But what is interesting is the meeting between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce as you said because it is a very crucial match for both teams before both play in the Europa League this season with opponents who are not strong enough.
