UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

[ajiz138]

If Bodoe/Glimt were able to actually score two goals I think there is a chance that Lazio can either win the game or tie it, although there no longer goal advantage again but it will be disastrous for Lazio to allow Bodoe/Glimt score any goal in the game. What Lazio needs is either a goal at the first half or they squares it on aggregate right from the first half. Any one they actually do I think they can be able to proceed.

Bodoe/Glimt won't leave it at that, I think they will defend as much as possible to avoid conceding a goal, but Bodoe/Glimt still have a chance to score in any way, it could be a counterattack that can kill Lazio because the defense is off guard. So this is indeed a tough task for Lazio.

As for Manchester United vs Lazio game I don’t understand why many are surprised Manchester United got the result they did in that match. Fans still rate Manchester United based on their league performance and I usually say this they are a different club entirely in the Europa league and frankly speaking they should have won the game if not for Onana howler in the last minutes. I think Same game plan as last week will be ok but they need to be proactive most especially in the midfield which is where Lyon prowess are at the moment

Everyone is blaming Onana right? Yeah he's the culprit because he always blunders in important situations, but I know with his poor form he doesn't impress in any match.
I hope he makes more saves in the game tonight.

Lazio might be able to win the match and qualify if they can score early and also not concede in the next match. Scoring 2 goals is actually possible for Lazio if they can really dominate and destroy their opponent's mentality. But we have seen the results of the first leg, the opponent will not be easy to beat.

I think United's situation is more complicated. To be honest, I was also surprised they got 2 goals in the first leg. But in the second leg, maybe both teams will play tightly. And I don't think there will be many goals. It could be just one goal that decides, but I hope the match will be interesting.

Amorim must have gained a lot of experience from the first leg against Lyon. Amorim will know the key players who are the driving force in Lyon's game. In addition to making a strategy to dampen Lyon's attacks, Amorim must also make a strategy to dominate and effectively dismantle Lyon's defense.
United have indeed shown different results in the Europa League than in the Premier League, and hopefully, they get a positive result, because in the Premier League, they can't expect anything.

Lazio need a feat to overturn the result tonight, but I believe this formation: Lazio (4-2-3-1): Mandas, Lazzari, Gila, Romagnoli, Marusic; Guendouzi, Vecino; Isaksen, Dia, Zaccagni; Castellanos. Coach Baroni, can have their say and can do well, I definitely think it will be a difficult match, but not impossible for them

Lazio should indeed be able to turn things around in this match because this match is a match that will determine which team will qualify for the next round. And if Lazio does not have sufficient improvements, it is not impossible for Bodo/glimt to treat Lazio again like what happened in the first leg. Because being behind by two goals on aggregate should not be difficult for Lazio to catch up as long as the home team does not score again in this match. But it might be a little difficult for Lazio in this match because Lazio also has to have a better defense if they want to win with more goals.

Frankfurt will probably eliminate Tottenham. Because Tottenham plays very bad football away.

Lazio's job is not easy. Bodo got an advantageous score in the first match and Bodo will score in Roma.

Manchester cares about this cup and will defeat Lyon tonight.

In my eyes, the most critical match is the Bilbao Rangers match.
In the first match, Rangers had to play most of the match with 10 men and despite this, they did not lose. Rangers can win. Because Rangers play counter-attacking football well

In my own perception Bodø has proven they can score goals, having a two-goal lead makes their task in Rome less daunting.  Even a goal on the road would put Lazio under a lot of pressure
because they would need to score four goals or more to advance without penalties.

After a 1-1 draw with Roma in the derby, Lazio has only triumphed once in their last seven games in all competitions.
They haven't been performing well lately.  This was all I can say with it actually.

It's going to be a difficult game for Lazio. I've watched Bodo/Glimt play and they are really good. Lazio will be playing at home which should give them an advantage but I doubt if they will be able to cancel the two goals.

About the Manchester United match, I noticed something in the second leg against Real Sociedad. United were able to identify and mark out Real Sociedad's main man, Oyarzabal, and by so doing they were able to keep the visitor's quiet. Maybe Amorim is going to deploy same tactics against Lyon. But again, United need to score goals and their frontline have not been prolific but I just hope they all step up and bring their a-game into the match.

Coach Baroni, can have their say and can do well, I definitely think it will be a difficult match, but not impossible for them

Lazio may not be in a position to overturn the result tonight as they have already lost their first round match. From my perspective those who lose the first leg definitely have a lot of pressure on the next match. I'm not saying Lazio's chances are completely gone, but they are currently 2-0 down on aggregate. So I think that their only tool to move forward from this stage is tremendous mental strength.

In my opinion Lazio coach Marco Baroni may be trying to fill the team's deficit at the moment, it can be said that this could be a good move for them at this time. Moreover we can all say that Lazio's mental state should be very strong.

I doubt Rangers could shock the world, Bilbao is the far better team and for that reason I assume that we are going to see Bilbao win this game. In fact, the first game being a 0-0 tie was the shocking one and I doubt that we are going to end up seeing another one of those happen again.

The better possibility would be very different situation for Bilbao and they need to be able to win this one without much issues. If you really have a trust in Rangers and want to bet on that, do not stop just because of me, but I have absolutely no trust in them to get a win here. A tie doesn't end the game, so it goes to extra time, but I would guess it will end within the 90 minutes because Bilbao will end up getting the win they need here and won't prolong it to penalties or anything like that.

Theoretically there is a significant power difference here. But only on paper. We shouldn't take anything for granted at the moment. Bodø/Glimt showed it to us in the 1st leg. Completely dominated the game and got the kind of a win they'd like. 

I think Manchester United will win today despite knowing how terrible Onana is. I'm not saying they are amazing as a whole either but still have enough power to beat Lyon home. But as I said before, I think semi final is the last round they will see if they face Athletic Bilbao.

Rangers can do something more shocking and if anything happens that is against Bilbao it will be their fault because this game should have been done and dusted in Scotland but they would not take advantage of the fact that Rangers had a red card and it was so annoying that all chances could not find the back of the net, they even missed a penalty so what more could happen here in Spain? Honestly I blame Athletic Bilbao for still having this game to be goalless. Well this second leg I can really say Athletic Bilbao will get more than 1 goal in this game because they can't repeat that same mistake they did in the first leg and the coach of the host Ernesto Valverde was disappointed and he must tell the boys to change their style of play whenever they are in front of goal. I also believe Rangers will still continue defending which I don't see helping them in any way, it could be a 2-0 or 2-1 win for the host.

Lazio will come to this game with full confidence and home advantage to win this game and the opponent will not stand there and watching, Lazio was defeated in the first leg of the match and that will affect them if they can’t score 3 goals in today match if Lazio is serious they can score 3 goals but the opponent is a strong team and that will be very difficult but we don’t know how the game will be but there will be goals in the match.

Given the Lazio performances this season they have a good term, i understand that they was defeated in most of their previous matches match, but with that their performances still powerful since there able to maintain the top of that standings up to today. Their last match against Bodo Glimt was very difficult game for them, because they give them a tough attack and again they use their home advantage that’s they find the match very easy to win.

The Manchester United and Lyon match will be tough and I’m still expecting like 3 goals in the match because Manchester United and Lyon are teams that attack and both teams will want to score in other to take the lead, if any team scores an opening goal the match will be tough, I’m expecting Manchester United to win the match but it will not be an easy match for Manchester United, if Onana makes any mistake today it will lead Manchester United out of the competition.

Honestly I’m also expecting the match between Manchester United and Lyon to be tough one tonight, because as Manchester United performance is others is not so weak that’s their trying to package up their performances in this Europa League; so that they can not left them behind and with their currently performance they might have a big chance to score many goals against Lyon tonight.

Friend --- Tottenham is now too bad yesterday they were slaughtered by Wolves so do not expect Tottenham to win over Frankfurt.
Indeed Lazio have a tough task because they fell behind before in the first leg, but I don't think it will be easy for the hosts to win 3 goals without reply, knowing Lazio still won't be able to win above 3 goals.
For the others there is still a chance of qualifying 50/50 their chances are just that Man United is still in question now that Onana is back again.

If Manchester United loses at home, it will be a serious problem for them. Because they need to focus entirely on winning the Europa League. If they can't do that, they don't have a chance to go to Europe next year in the Premier League. They are in the same position Chelsea were in last year. Both Tottenham and Manchester United are in the Premier League at their worst. So we need to talk about the possibility of both teams being eliminated. They can be eliminated with two teams and thus continue their struggle only in the Premier League.

Man United has long had serious problems but still cannot be fixed properly --- now instead of trying to Amorin but the reality is still getting worse in the Premier League, it's just that in the Europa League it can still survive, maybe this is luck.

The opportunity to qualify is in sight --- at home it's just that they need to play better to perform optimally, and one more Onana please don't make blunders that hurt us. Lol

Onana shouldn't be blamed for incident that happened in the last match, he did his job as a shot stopper, which we expected defenders to clear the ball out because it was a shot from a closed range and Onana had to vomit the ball, I don't think you were expecting Onana hold that ball at once given the range and speed it was coming. However giving the way Manchester United played the first leg, I doubt if Lyon will win them in the old Trafford this night, at some point, Manchester United were a bit impressive with their attack for the first leg. So left alone with me, I'll be giving Manchester United a straight win.

I have notice that until now that anytime Manchester United failure is mentioned people usually just bring Ten Hag into this discussion, man has been done his part and has left I think it is high time Manchester United fans and Ronaldo fans allow him to rest. Even the great Alex Ferguson made transfer mistakes, fell out with top players and the club moved on from it. One thing that baffles me with this Ten Hag banter and why I think it is coming from a point of hatred is he is never associated with players doing well but his name is quick to be mentioned with players not doing well. He signed wrong players and also did signed and promoted good players

Ten Hag will continue to be mentioned frequently and repeatedly because he had his chance to change things and he squandered huge funds trying to reunite with his former players at Ajax and as a result made situations worse at Manchester United. He will be dragged everytime Manchester United problems are being discussed because he contributed to the problem instead of solving it.

I think it's very natural, success and failure will always be remembered by everyone, especially Manchester United is a very successful club before. Ten Hag is still part of this season, and it makes sense if fans continue to associate The Red Devils decline with him. Besides, Ruben Amorim also has not managed to fix the chaos inherited by Ten Hag, because of that Ten Hag name is always fresh in the memory. I think next season Ten Hag name will start to fade, with Ruben Amorim starting to overhaul the depth of the Manchester United squad and starting a new era.

If you look at it, Manchester United has not achieved anything in the last few seasons, so it is natural that the fans will criticize this team. Now, how and what the fans will do, not criticize, but praise, but the Manchester United manager will have to do that.

Manchester United is in a very bad position in the English Premier League this season, so they have nothing to achieve in the English Premier League, but the place to achieve them is the European League. Manchester United is still in the European League competition and they are performing well in the European League, so if Manchester United wins this European League title, then Manchester United fans will talk about their team again.
But if Manchester United fails this season, then this traditional team of the English Premier League will face even more severe criticism.

United still looks strong to me, while you may disagree and everyone here talks about how terrible United is, we are forgetting the fact that they have gone literally unbeaten so far in Europa league, which needs to show the world that while they are terrible at premier league, they are so far quite strong at Europa league and maybe they are just focusing all their power there. If that is the case, which looks like it, then Lyon has a hard time here.

You may see United weak and Lyon strong, but so far United didn't play as well as they should, which is the main reason why they are looking bad at premier league, normally they should have been better and at Europa league they are. I have full trust in them to win this game.

Amorim's defensive but counter-attacking game plan in European matches was more successful compared to the scattered performance in the EPL. I think United has a chance to win the Europa League, no matter how scattered they are in the EPL. They will play a tough match against Lyon today, if everything goes well they can eliminate Lyon.

Amorim's intense defensive game tactic works in Europe, but they were not very productive in the EPL. Manchester United needs to focus a little on the midfield and offense in today's match.

[slapper]

Last week Lazio fooled everyone, will they fool everyone this week or will they win?
I want to bet on Lazio but I can't trust them at all because they were the favorites in the first match but they lost 2-0.
Let's see what they do tonight.

I think A.Bilbao will win tonight.

I think M.United-Lyon and E.Frankfurt-Tottenham matches may go to penalties.

Lazio will come to this game with full confidence and home advantage to win this game and the opponent will not stand there and watching, Lazio was defeated in the first leg of the match and that will affect them if they can’t score 3 goals in today match if Lazio is serious they can score 3 goals but the opponent is a strong team and that will be very difficult but we don’t know how the game will be but there will be goals in the match.

Lazio’s scored 3+ goals at home 9 times this season. But that recent 0-5 Bologna humiliation is bad. Two goals in their last four games? That’s not what champions do. And Bodo/Glimt just schooled them in Norway. Patric’s out, Tavares is limping, Pellegrini ain’t even registered. Now unless Baroni puts Castellanos and Boulaye Dia up top, this will be another “we fought hard” press conference moment

As for United, if there’s a drinking game for “Onana mistake = Lyon goal,” we’d all be hammered by halftime. He leads all PL keepers in errors that led to goals since 2023. Even had a spat with Matić, who called him one of the worst United GKs ever

[Uruhara]

In the first leg of the quarter-finals we have seen 3 matches that ended in a draw, namely
- Rangers vs Bilbao (0-0)
- Lyon vs MU (2-2)
- Tottenham vs Eintracht Frankfurt (1-1)

and only the Bodo/Glimt vs Lazio match ended with a win for one of the teams, namely Bodo/Glimt won with a score of 2-0.

And today the second leg will start. I think Lazio will be knocked out of the Europa League. Because it is quite difficult to catch up with an aggregate of 2 goals. Meanwhile, for the other teams, I already have favorite teams that I hope will win, namely Man United, Tottenham and Bilbao. What are your predictions for today's four matches?

[yudi09]

The Manchester United and Lyon match will be tough and I’m still expecting like 3 goals in the match because Manchester United and Lyon are teams that attack and both teams will want to score in other to take the lead, if any team scores an opening goal the match will be tough, I’m expecting Manchester United to win the match but it will not be an easy match for Manchester United, if Onana makes any mistake today it will lead Manchester United out of the competition.

That means there is a desire to hope that the bet can be over more than 2 goals. This match after I did the analysis, to hope that two goals could possibly happen. Attacking will be a strategy for both of them to find goals if they don't want the match to go into extra time.

This match at first glance benefits Manchester United because Old Trafford will be the venue. In addition, the draw in the first leg is also a factor that benefits Manchester United, but I believe in Lyon that they will provide resistance that makes some Manchester United players make blunders.

[Mayor of ogba]

I want to bet on Lazio but I can't trust them at all because they were the favorites in the first match but they lost 2-0.
Let's see what they do tonight.

I think A.Bilbao will win tonight.

I think M.United-Lyon and E.Frankfurt-Tottenham matches may go to penalties.

Lazio conceded a shocking defeat against Bodø/Glimt in their first leg of the Europa League quarter final, which so many football fans didn't believe would happen because Lazio has more experience than Bodø/Glimt when it comes to European competition, but they failed to beat Bodø/Glimt. I believe Lazio will beat Bodø/Glimt in the second leg of their Europa League quarter final, so there's no need to worry about if Lazio can beat Bodø/Glimt, but you can bet with what you can afford to lose because nothing is guaranteed in this space. Manchester United vs Lyon and Frankfurt vs Tottenham matches—I see the home team winning at full time.

[el kaka22]

Bilbao getting a tie was a mistake, they are far better team than Rangers and in this game they should be able to win without much issues. I understand it may not look like they are the far better team, but they are, and because of this I have more trust in them this week.

If they do just like they are expected to do, Bilbao should not only beat Rangers, but they should be winning the whole title, because they are considered the best team left right now. Obviously that did not look like the case back in the day, but right now we are seeing that as a case here, and that is why we need to look at it like it is being done properly. This should be the most important case, and not really a big deal, Bilbao could win this one.

[Cryptoprincess101]

You're right because this was same way Arsenal was underestimated in the Champions League simply because they were not active in the chase for the premier league title as expected of them but look how they displayed an awesome performance in the Champions League games, and everyone is now applauding them. I also believe that Manchester United is not doing well in their premier league games and we all know that but they deserve some respect for still being in the Europa League matches and even though Lyon has also been resilient in the Europa League games but since they were unable to perform better in their own home ground, they won't find it easy at Old Trafford either. Maintaining unbeaten in the Europa League games is not a child's play so Manchester United deserves some regards and accolades.
