UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

[Falconer]

-snip-

The media is currently very fond of discussing the two upcoming games for Manchester United, which could be decisive for ten Hag. This may be the case if he loses both of these games, and given the way Aston Villa are playing now, that game could end badly for them, so they should pay a lot of attention to this match with Porto. And here too, everything is bad for ten Hag, because Porto is a home team and very rarely loses at home, so a draw was not the worst result at the Estadio do Dragao.

The matches against Porto in the Europa League and Aston Villa in the Premier League, must be won by Manchester United, so that Ten Hag can get out of the pressure. With their erratic performance, the two opponents certainly have the potential to put Ten Hag career on the line. Porto will not be easy to beat, they have a good mentality when playing in European competitions. Manchester United must forget the embarrassing defeat from Tottenham, and work hard to secure full points at Porto home. If the opposite happens, then Ten Hag and his players will again receive harsh criticism from fans. There will be various voices demanding that Ten Hag leave Old Trafford.

Manchester United line-up has been confirmed:
Onana, Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot, Casemiro, Eriksen, Amad, Fernandes, Rashford, Hojlund

- Galatasaray over 2.5 goals @1.95

My first pick seems to be going on really well. Galatasaray lead 2-1 at halftime. Especially after that quick answer by RFS would push Galatasaray not to play complacently. I guess Galatasaray would score another easily.  

- Porto win @2.43
- Frankfurt win @2.43

These remaining ones are starting in an hour. Let's see. These are bigger risks on paper but I think there is a good chance anyway.

By the way Slavia Prague were quite favoured against Ajax. But Ajax still lead by 1-0. They weren't actually doing good until this season. They had a poor year. But it really looks like there is a good improvement this season.    They are much more productive in the attacking line.

Of the many games to be played on the second Matchday of UEL, the Porto vs Manchester United game caught my attention the most. Ten Hag will be back to lead his men in this Big Match after the 3-0 defeat to Tottenham last weekend. MU have suffered three defeats in six games since the start of the season, and have a negative goal difference, this result is their worst ever start in history. The game shown by MU players was truly sad, especially in the defense sector, they were like a mediocre team in front of their opponents. If in this game the players still show their worst performance, then Ten Hag position as coach will be increasingly threatened.

Inasmuch as Manchester United is underperforming, they're still one of the biggest football club in the world that's why news about the club always trend daily on the media. Well, Erik Ten Hag's fate would be decided by those matches and that's why netizen's are so anxious to see the outcome, there are fan who wants Ten Hag out and there are some who still believe that he could turn things around but it all depends on the decision of the board members, if Manchester United win those matches with an improved playing pattern, then chances are that he could continue staying in the club with more backing from the board but they could be forced to take drastic actions if they're not satisfied with the outcome of both matches. However I think some lazy players would cost Erik Ten Hag his job, they're playing on the pitch like they don't train enough for instance Bruno Fernandes, if Erik Ten Hag continues favoring him while he's out of form he could cause them to lose those matches I think needs to be rested or brought in from the bench.

I'm actually quite curious as to how MU will handle this game. Porto is very good , it's one of the teams I like the most in Portugal, however, since MU has had a lot of Problems and everything that comes with Ten Hag, I find it quite good to see how they will play out MU has a great squad , it remains to be seen what kind of Strategy Ten Hag will employ, so far I haven't seen any work out for him. I hope they win as much as they can in the Europa League , they deserve it because it's a fact that things are tough for this club.

If we are to leave it on strategy, we all know Ten Hag haven’t got none and mostly relies on luck to get him by with a few players that could make a difference. Zirkzee might be the player that makes the difference for him today, Alejandro Garnacho for support. It would be a tight game no doubt but, Manchester United would be the visiting team and Porto would be looking to make use of all that home advantage but, Manchester United isn’t loosing this one.

Spurs won their first half, it wasn’t a very competitive one but, they did manage it and are making a lot of rushed mistakes too. Hope they better coordinate themselves in the second half else, we might get a draw of this fixture.

At this time Manchester United is nothing more than a club that only relies on luck, I say this with a strong reason and I think we will all know what my reason is for daring to say that. Erik Ten Hag is a coach who does not have a clear plan for their game and it can be said as something that only depends on luck. The squad he has is actually quite capable of doing something, but at this time there is nothing that we can see from the strategy he is implementing. Strangely Manchester United did not take any action, at least I did not hear that they made a threat to Erik Ten Hag's position. And we know a few days ago or after his defeat to Tottenham he said that his position would remain safe.

As we know for today's match, there is nothing we can expect from Manchester United the reason is clear they are not in good performance and they came as an away team so I assume the draw is the best achievement for Manchester United. If we check the betting market indeed, Porto is a little favorite like the screenshot below and maybe this will be the first 3 points for Porto because previously in their first match they lost.

[Felicity_Tide]

Interesting Europa league fixtures today. Some games have started already, but I don't really have any interest in some of those teams except Tottenham. Tottenham are leading now, and I believe they will secure all 3 points today. Surprisingly, from the lineup, the manager didn't start some top players like Johnson, Madison and Kulusevski, but they are leading with a goal from sarr. I think i also like the fact that the manager made a very nice squad rotation today, because the issue of fatigue will start to raise concern soon.

And I feel United game might probably be the most exciting to watch tonight. I can see some odds in the reply section, and it's seems Porto are the favorite here. It's so sad that united's unpredictable performance has gotten so bad to the point where most of us just feel that they will lose most games even though it's still possible for them to pull a fight. Well, I think Porto is good enough, considering how they pull off a top fight in the champions league last season. But let's see how things goes after 90mins.

The game shown by MU players was truly sad, especially in the defense sector, they were like a mediocre team in front of their opponents. If in this game the players still show their worst performance, then Ten Hag position as coach will be increasingly threatened.

Manchester United are struggling, with recent losses to Tottenham (0-3) and a 1-1 draw with Twente exposing their weaknesses. Porto, despite a 2-3 loss to Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League, have been more consistent. Winning at Estadio do Dragao is no easy task—Porto have lost just once in their last seven European home matches. Meanwhile, United haven’t won away in Europe since March 2023, losing three of their last four. Injuries in defense make United even more vulnerable, which could give Porto the upper hand, especially on their home turf.

Manchester United are currently not in their best form after some negative results they achieved, facing a team that is dominant weaker than them is surprisingly if Manchester has a hard time winning and even has to experience a defeat in the match, the defeat to Tottenham in the Premier League of course makes Ten Hag position as a coach has received a lot of criticism but it does not seem to make Manchester United lose trust for ten hag at the moment, I think Manchester United like last season will still keep Ten Hag until his contract expires despite the bad results they may get in the next two match.
The game against Porto will obviously be a difficult game for ten hag especially since they are currently overshadowed by an embarrassing defeat to Tottenham, but I think maybe we will see a different game from manchester today, Because if Ten Hag has learned from previous defeats, of course he will try to modify his game strategy to be better against Porto later, Manchester United's current position in the Europa League also demands that they must win that the match, because previously they drew against Twente in the first match of the Europa League.

Today's match will be Manchester United vs Porto, here though we can see that Manchester United's game performance is not that much improvement. Ten Hag current strategy is not able to push Manchester United forward and they have been disappointing in every match and their game is very weak. In that case, if they lost today's match against Porto, they will be at the very bottom of the points table, Manchester United did didn't win the first match but they drew. Moreover, today's match will be held at Porto's home ground, so I think today's match will be very unlikely to go to Manchester United.

I think Manchester United football team is good team because we are analysing that team  and they are performing well in last matches and they can perform well in today's match because they have good team combination and players of that team are in full form . They will be full prepare for this match because they know that team is good team and they has ground advantages but Porto team will be on the lower area due to bad performance. Manchester United has 23 position in
UEFA Europa League and that team has good weapons which they can use it this match and they can win this match by high margin.

Lazio played very well tonight and gathered 4 goals that made Nice authorized, 2 goals in the first half and 2 goals in the second half, time almost ended it would be very difficult for Nice to turn things off, I was quite surprised because I thought Nice would reverse The situation in the second half after they put the goal in the 41st minute, but the situation was getting worse and Lazio's defense was strengthened in the second half which made it more difficult to get a chance, full points for Lazio and it would give 3 additional points for 2 wins, while Ajax vs Slavenia must end in a draw.

porto vs man united
Porto (confirmed lineup): Diogo Costa, Joao Mario, Ze Pedro, Nehuen Perez, Francisco Moura, Nico Gonzalez, Stephen Eustaquio, Alan Varela, Pepe, Samuel Omorodion, Wenderson Galeno.

Manchester United (confirmed lineup): Andre Onana, Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt, Lisandro Martinez, Diogo Dalot, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Amad Diallo, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hoejlund.

Man United will there be at Estadio do Dragao the home of Porto tonight, my worries is that can Manchester United succeed in win this match while they are performance are very poor, Manchester United really needed serious attention to fixed their problem if not they will not make it to this level next season. Porto will not like to be embarrass by Manchester United at Estadio do Dragao with their poor performance.

- Galatasaray over 2.5 goals @1.95

My first pick seems to be going on really well. Galatasaray lead 2-1 at halftime. Especially after that quick answer by RFS would push Galatasaray not to play complacently. I guess Galatasaray would score another easily.  

Yeah you got it right and that was a convenient option you choose there because in Galatasaray's previous games there were lot of goals so it was a safe option for you but for people who staked them to win RFS it will be a disappointment for them because they are playing 2:2 currently and it doesn't look like they can win the match again because they had early advantage of scoring 2 goals ahead of RFS but they became so reluctant and the 2 goals were equalized and the match has just ended in 2:2 draw, i never expected Galatasaray to draw this game considering the fact that they also played a 3:3 draw against Kasimpasa in their domestic league match during last weekend.

Manchester has been playing weak in their previous three matches, drawing against Crystal Palace, drawing in the Europa League, and still losing in the Premier League against Tottenham, so I didn't notice any improvement on Manchester United. They need to dismiss Erik Ten Hag if he doesn't improve in there next three matches, I will prefer they bring another coach, Porto is a good club and they usually perform well in all there competitions, and they are playing at home, he will be very hard if they don't win the game or draw tonight, they lost their first game in Europe League, so they won't try to lose today, and they are at home, so they will do anything to win the game or probably share the point against Manchester United.

Porto are in second place in their league, and you will know that they are in good shape this season, while Manchester United are just managing themselves. Let's see how they finish against Porto, but I don't think Man-U can win the game. Let's see how the game ends in 90 minutes.

Those who watch Manchester United's matches cannot say that Manchester United will definitely win this match. The team's performance seems to be decreasing with each match and the fans' expectations are decreasing. Unpredictable scores are coming in many matches and Manchester United continues to surprise.

Porto will do everything to win on their home field. We will see how Manchester United will respond or if they will be able to respond. When we look at the squads, Manchester United's players are of higher quality individually, but football is a team game and Manchester United has not been able to play this team game well lately.

I have not opened the betting site to see the odds for the Europa League bets that will be played in the next 10 hours or so.
Yeah. odds @2.39 and @3.90 what kind of bet is that?
If the odds are for a 1x2 bet and you are afraid to bet, just place a bet on another type of bet such as over or under or on another type of bet that you are more confident in. I think if you just miss a number of Europa League matches not to bet, it's a shame because the chances of winning are there. But don't force it and I don't mean to.

I have also seen some matches that are quite worthy of being bet on in this match in the Europa League, especially like the match that will be played by Tottenham and also the match that will be played by Lazio because I am also quite sure that the two teams I mean can definitely win in today's match. But everything does come back to the level of confidence of each because today there are also many interesting ones that might be suitable to be chosen as the best bet with a fairly convincing chance of winning.

Yeah. Tottenham and Lazio in the 2nd round of the Europa League won. Amazingly, Tottenham's starting line-up contains many young players played by Ange Postecoglou.
If Lazio's 4-1 victory over Nice establishes them temporarily as the top scorer team with 7 goals in 2 matches.
If you do not ignore the bets for a number of matches, and choose to bet on Tottenham and Lazio wins, you will win a lot. However, if you choose to include Galasataray in your betting list, your betting list may be damaged because Galatasaray was only able to draw against the Latvian team.

I'm actually quite curious as to how MU will handle this game. Porto is very good , it's one of the teams I like the most in Portugal, however, since MU has had a lot of Problems and everything that comes with Ten Hag, I find it quite good to see how they will play out MU has a great squad , it remains to be seen what kind of Strategy Ten Hag will employ, so far I haven't seen any work out for him. I hope they win as much as they can in the Europa League , they deserve it because it's a fact that things are tough for this club.

Maybe Diego Dalot should be rested for Tyrell Malacia since he returned back from Injury and is currently training with the first team. I wouldn't mind Erik Ten Hag fielding a four man midfied honestly because from.the look ofnhow things went against Tottenham Hotspur, they lacked energy in the midfied. I have just seen the line up and the only difference is the name Casemiro getting a call because he is very well experienced when it comes to top European Competitions. Manchester United players will have to work hard for Erik Ten Hag to remain as head coach for the next games.

Today's Europa League match predictions.

Real Sociedad vs Anderlecht (over 2.5)
Rīgas FS vs Galatasaray (over 3.5)
Ferencvaros vs Spurs (Spurs win)
Slavia Prague vs Ajax (BTTS)
Lazio vs Nice (Lazio)
Olympiacos vs Braga (over 2.5)
Bilbao vs AZ (Bilbao win)
Porto vs MU (Porto win)
Elfsborg vs Roma (Roma win)
Union Saint vs Bodø/Glimt (Union Saint win)

Real Sociedad vs Anderlecht match just ended with 2 goals to 1, confirming your prediction to be correct and accurate, and likewise Rīgas FS vs Galatasaray game ended with a total of 4 goals (2-2), and also Tottenham vs Ferencvaros game realming with the prediction stated above too. It's just sad I'm coming across your game this evening, considering the fact that it's all going just as predicted. However, the match between Manchester United, Roma and Union Saints just started, and hoping it ends just as predicted.

[punk.zink]

tottenham vs ferencvaros UEFA europa league will be a battle between two teams, today's match is going to be played at the home ground of ferencvaros. I think tottenham have the most chances to win this match today, moreover tottenham had a great win in their first match, so hopefully they will win today's match as well. Most people will bet in favor of Tottenham in today's match and according to the betting ratings, Tottenham have a heavy chance to win. And if ferencvaros can perform at their home ground in today's match then win can be expected, although every team is strong in their home field in case ferencvaros can perform strongly.

Ferencvaros with the home advantage hope to be an edge for them to be able to have a chance to making an attempt to win this game or probably get to draw at the end of the game. Tottenham by all indication is a stronger team and would be bale to win their opponent irrespective of the fact that they will be playing from away and their opponent is home, looking at their performance against Manchester united in their last premier league game, they are very likely to win this Europa opponent who cannot be seen as an equal to Manchester united and on the table so far Tottenham ahs got a better position much more than their opponent which could indicate that its a sign of strength though its just one game played so far and this will be their second Europa game this season.

Tottenham got their second win in the Europa League and they are currently in second place in the standings. I thought Tottenham would get an easy win because they were playing against a team that I didn't even know, but it turned out that Ferencvaros could put up a fight, and make it not easy for Tottenham. Maybe it's because of the advantage that they are playing in front of their crowds, and also because Tottenham did not play with a full team.

[Frankolala]

Wow...what a great finish from Rashford as he broke into the defense of Porto all alone and took a brilliant strike with a ground ball to the left side of the goal post. Manchester united started this match in a good performance with an early goal on the 7th minutes from Rashford.

The problem now is will Manchester united be able to win this match by scoring more goals or defending this goal. Inconsistencies have become the order of the day for United which makes me to still be in doubt if they can ein Porto away from home. Manchester United is on the lead with 1-0.

[ajanwalker]

Before the match, Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk said: The field is beautiful, the air temperature is good, and we went to the field as a team with our main squad, but Galatasaray could not manage to beat Rigas.
They took a 0-2 lead in the match, but 2 minutes after scoring the second goal, they conceded a goal and the first half ended 1-2.
Rigas started the second half well again and made the score 2-2 in the 54th minute. My Rigas returned a ball to the post. If a goal had been scored in that position, Galatasaray would have been defeated away. With this draw, Galatasaray increased its points to 4 in the league.
Muslera was still suspended and Günay guarded the goal again.
Muslera has a one-match suspension remaining.

The media is currently very fond of discussing the two upcoming games for Manchester United, which could be decisive for ten Hag. This may be the case if he loses both of these games, and given the way Aston Villa are playing now, that game could end badly for them, so they should pay a lot of attention to this match with Porto. And here too, everything is bad for ten Hag, because Porto is a home team and very rarely loses at home, so a draw was not the worst result at the Estadio do Dragao.

The matches against Porto in the Europa League and Aston Villa in the Premier League, must be won by Manchester United, so that Ten Hag can get out of the pressure.

Porto will not be easy to beat, they have a good mentality when playing in European competitions. Manchester United must forget the embarrassing defeat from Tottenham, and work hard to secure full points at Porto home.

Manchester United line-up has been confirmed:
Onana, Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot, Casemiro, Eriksen, Amad, Fernandes, Rashford, Hojlund

If good match results were easily given, we would have let Manchester United win their two important matches so that Ten Hag's job as Manchester United's coach would be retained. But this will not be the case because each team needs the 3 points for them to appear top of the league table.

It's unfortunately that Ten Hag had to put himself in a position that he couldn't escape this time around. His sack is around the corner because there is no way Manchester United would win or draw Porto and Aston Villa in their home, considering how formidable both teams are currently.
