UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

[puloweh555]

Of course, the English Premier clubs that's still in the competition are the strongest because the rest clubs don't have the strength to play United despite that United is not stable and don't have sharp strikers. When it comes to a different club that is not in EPL, United do give us a big surprise with a brilliant surprise. Therefore, I wouldn't choose Lyon over United because Lyon is the underdog.

Lyon is indeed not a favorite team in the Europa League and overall Lyon's strength is not much better than Manchester United. If you look at Manchester United's performance in the Premier League, it is indeed unstable, but they are still quite good because they are unbeaten in the Europa League. Manchester United can take a much safer opportunity, where they can hold Lyon to a draw and when the second leg takes place Manchester United can create an opportunity to win the match.

Although Lyon is not a favorite team, Man United must still be wary of Lyon because they could give a bitter punishment when Man United players make fatal mistakes in the match. Lyon is currently also in recovery after slumping last season, so Man United should not consider Lyon as an easy opponent even though Man United is currently a team that has never lost in the European league.

Man United's chance to become champions is indeed in the European league this season. Moreover, they are very experienced in facing pressure like this, fighting in the European league so they can play in the UCL league next season.

This is also the same as last season, Man United in terms of position in the standings cannot play in the Europa League this season, but after they won the FA Cup, they can automatically play in the Europa League. This will be a motivation for Man United to repeat the same pressure.

I agree that Manchester United is way stronger than Lyon but if we check how Lyon picked up form after some troubling times they had in the past and to see that a team like Manchester United is still struggling to keep a stable form despite their consistency in the Europa league games, we don't need to underrate Lyon because it also took them a lot of hard work and consistency for them to reach this stage in the Europa League games so they can't just give up easily to Manchester United, besides they will be playing at their own ground, they will take the match more serious than United so contrary to what you are saying, Lyon might win Manchester United then maybe in the second leg, United can retaliate back.

Lyon will never win against Manchester United, I think it's a good match but in the end the English team will win, the gap is too big between the two teams, but I'm sure they won't be able to win easily, Manchester are not playing their last matches very well

It's very okay to maintain a strong stance that Lyon may not be able  to win Manchester United but again let's not forget that both teams aren't of a very solid form and with Manchester United it's got a problem of inconsistency too, probably due to the obvious change of their coach who's trying to still getting the team together,  Lyon doesn't have a really solid form or depth than Manchester united does but they are most likely going to but in their very best to challenging Manchester United maybe they would be lucky and see that opportunity to get to the next stage of the europa, I'm only hoping that Manchester united wins as expectations on them is even higher.

[Pandu Geddon]

Amorim's current problem is one of their attacking lines, and this season United have not found a solution. United's performance is indeed unstable, especially in the Premier League. Many say Amorim will focus on the Europa League, but facing Lyon will not be easy. What Amorim might do in the match later is to create as many opportunities as possible to find gaps in Lyon's defense. Lyon may not be very strong, but if they display a disciplined game later, United could be frustrated. Amorim has a big job to do.

Am among those people with the school of thought that United should concentrate more on the Europa League because looking at their standing on the premier League table I don't think that United van make it to Europe so the best option for United right now is to focus on the Europa League and try and win so they can make it to the champions League because trying to improve to their performance in the premier League will add nothing to them because I see it as a waste of time for United to play well in the premier League

We can't distract from the fact that Amorim's current opportunity is in the Europa League, so it's natural that they will focus all their resources and time on preparing for the match. But honestly, it won't be good enough for Amorim to ignore the Premier League, however, improving their position in the standings until the end of this season will also be a good step and can be done by Amorim. United certainly won't have a target anymore in the Premier League, but at least they can show better results in the remaining matches available.

Manchester United is just not good in their own domestic league so that also can't be used as a benchmark that Manchester United will also be bad in the Europa League this season because from the facts that have been seen by many people this season in the Europa League, Manchester United is a team that has never lost until now and could win again when facing Lyon in the quarter-finals. Because Lyon is not a team that is able to beat a big team that is strong in its own league so that will make it a little easier for Manchester United to become the winner in their match.

I still think that Manchester United is bad and performs poor generally, the only luck this  Manchester United side still has is that they have not met a team of notable standards so far in this knockout stages and I don't think they also did in the group stages. Even in this fixture, both teams are poor in form and any of team will get a lucky win at the end of the two tie.

[lixer]

Right now we can not actually tell for sure what will happen because sometimes form doesn't really matter, just imagine a club like Real Madrid whether they are inform or not and they manage to find themselves in the semifinals or finals, they will always do wonder and I don't know how they use to do it but it has become part of them. Manchester united and Lyon are not consistent but I think Manchester united have more experience than Lyon and Maybe the experience might help them qualify if they actually do well.

The experience we are believing Manchester United has got isn't with the current set of players and coach too, so I don't want to bank on that as a point enough to believe Manchester United can actually win based on experience,  looking at this squad,  it's the first time of their coach in an europa league game and some of the players are actually experiencing their first europa experience at Manchester United this season,  so there may be no much experience to bank on except for their domestic league experience of which they are fortunate to play in one of the best domestic leagues in the world.

Despite having one of the worst season in Premier League they are still doing good and achieving good results in Europa League which is giving them some good encouragement even mostly are not experienced for the big games, but their performance is telling how they are going to do Amorim is until now worst but still he is handling things fairly.

Lyon vs Manchester United is going to be challenging for both with both are looking for good end while Lyon is doing good job in French Ligue 1 chances are high for them to have another European competition in next season even they are inconsistent like Manchester United. Manchester United is now having only one option, and they will be done as much they can for having their best with this situation all will be not easy for both sides but usually here Premier League teams are much stronger and skilled for having wins.

This is another point but that being said don't forget before Amorim cane winning against these set of teams were really difficult.  After all, Eric Ten Hag has a really poor stat in European competitions with them.

Anyway the fact that Manchester united is now like part of the underdog in this competition is another interesting thing. Let's see if they can get to the semi final and then we might say if they will likely win it but I think if they can get to the final then they would likely be crown champion. While they are inconsistent in a good game they can be difficult for any top teams to defeat because as ironic as it seems they are still one.

With the tag of worst coach in last few years Ruben Amorim trying his best for having something positive before end of this season which is looking not easy because after this quarterfinal thing could be more challenging for Manchester United.

Even currently Red Devils are looking better than Lyon but still it's going to be balance match for both sides and April is going to be more hot as well because now they are heading for Manchester derby than Lyon and after this Newcastle United is hosting them at St James Park with they are also looking for Champions League spot. After entertainment of Lyon they could be faced Athletic Bilbao which is amazing in this season and hot favourite for the win of Europa Cup as well but right now the best thing is just watching these interesting games which are going to play in few days.

I was having hope that Manchester United will win the UEFA Europa League, but the performance they displayed against Nottingham Forest was ok, but lack of creating chances for goals is alarming, and with that reason, I don’t think Manchester United team can make it up to the final.
If Manchester United is able to eliminate Olympic Lyonnaise, i don’t think they can easily defeat Atletico Bilbao;  and even if they defeated Bilbao in the Semifinals, they might face Tottenham or Lazio; so they need to be very serious if they wanted to win the Europa League title.

Ruben Amorim coming to Manchester United to help impact the players. He's doing a great job but what other means can the Red Devils buckled up? Lyon and Manchester United will face each other, we will both know the main contender and the one going home after humiliation. We shouldn't be over confident about the emphatic winning with these clubs. They do know how to ruined the wagers and plans for people so I've grown behind to dash into the system. It's bring to our notice about Manchester United doing the ultimate run for the Europa League title. We're talking about an elite EPL side becoming a formidable club.

We all know that Manchester United is not in their best form, but as far the Europa league is concerned, Manchester United is doing great. So, that motivation will keep them going. Forget about other fixtures after the Lyon match, if Manchester United navigate their way pass Lyon, they will definitely go ahead Bibao and the rest of them.

Manchester United has not been great this season but they also have the opportunity to right all the wrong if they can just win the Europa league. It is possible, they can win it.

Well yes, you say it in a very crude way, but I can't find another adjective that suits this team. They normally do well in the Europa League, but in the PL they lost everything. I don't know what's going on. What they really need to do is change their mentality, their strategy, even their coach, to see if they have a little more luck. I imagine the older players want to leave. Being in a team where they win absolutely nothing is starting to bury the careers of many players.

Ruben Amorim is in a rush to get Manchester United challenging at the top again

Ruben Amorim says he is not “crazy” enough to think Manchester United can lift the Premier League trophy next season but knows he needs to win quick as times have changed since the Sir Alex Ferguson era.

The 20-time champions are enduring a miserable campaign, with the Red Devils languishing 13th ahead of Sunday’s clash with rivals Manchester City at Old Trafford.

Pep Guardiola’s side have won the last four Premier League titles but slumped to fifth this term, albeit the fact they still have a 14-point cushion over United underlines the work required.

Hopefully Amorim realizes this, now UEL is Man United only hope of winning the title at the end of the season. The unbeaten record in this competition must be maintained and they must not underestimate Lyon even though they are aware that the strength of their opponents is still below their level.
The players' mentality must be improved in crucial matches to open up opportunities to appear in the UCL next season.

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.

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.

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.

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

I see Lyon as the winner of this tie, too. I know United is a bigger team but based on current form, I don't trust them at all. Lyon is not all that good, but when compared with Man United, I think they're better in current form. If United wants to win that game, they have to put on the best show of the season because Lyon is not playing around.

Another reason why I don't have much hope for United to win the trophy is that if they somehow make it past Lyon, they face Bilbao, and if Bilbao makes it past Rangers, I really don't see them crossing both hurdles to get to the final.

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.

Bookies are human being like us so there is every tendency that what they are predicting can be wrong just as we also do wrong prediction most times and one funny thing about me when playing game is I don't look at bookies, I always ensure to check statistics even though I don't get it right I must check it unless when I don't want to stress myself sometimes I can just decide to make a random selection and sometimes I win even more than when I settled down to select.

You're right the bookmakers don't always predict accurately most times,  or should I say that they're doing it intentionally just to scam people? sometimes I think it might not be intentional. because sometimes you will see a team that is given a lesser odd, meanwhile thier opponent was given a higher odd but you will be surprise to see that opponent wining with higher odd. That's to show that those bookmakers are not perfect.
