UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

[snipie]

The both opponents are actually tough opponents so even Tottenham that you are saying that have a better chance of qualifying than Manchester United too can be shock because at this stage of the competition no team is a small team any team that is here should be respected because Bodo/blink has been good through out this competition so I don't think that Tottenham have higher chances of qualifying, but with what I see the possibility of two English finals is high and realistic to me

I am not sure where should I place Manchester United this season. It is impressive to see them fluctuating like waves with such amount of defeats and unstable performance in English Premier League then they did well so far in UEFA Europa League. I can't trust them anymore. Athletic Bilbao is a solid team and if Manchester United played as they did against Wolverhampton or Newcastle United then they will leave from the first leg.
Tottenham Hotspur is another version of Manchester United but facing easier opponent, so better chance of playing the final game. That's all.

Manchester United have been very unfortunate this season, I saw their last game against Wolverhampton Wanderers, and they use the same pattern they played against Lyon on wolves but unfortunately they could not get a comeback and a win as wolves made sure they utilise the only opportunity they had  to score and defended that only goal till the last minute of play. So if Manchester United have been lucky all this while in their Europa League encounters, I think they should rather brazen up and come up with a plan on how to defeat Athletic Bilbao, luck it's not a strategy for a club like Bilbao at this point in time because they are domineering and aggressively tactical with their style of play, it took Real Madrid an extra 90+3 to see the back of the net in their last encounter against Bilbao, so Bilbao are very formidable at the moment.

It’s really unfortunate. I was also surprised in that match that Manchester United was unable to win. I think at this point Manchester United's performance is getting worse, and there is no sign that they will be better this season again. With the way Bilbao played against Real Madrid, seriously, they will be a tough opponent for Manchester United. Athletic Bilbao will make it tough for Manchester United if they meet at first. You even thought they would do well in Europa since they are not doing well in other competitions, but they failed to do that.

Compared to United, Athletic look like a top club - Athletic have 5 defeats and 26 goals conceded, while United have 15 defeats and 46 goals conceded  In general, 15 defeats sounds shocking.
If you look at it on paper, then Athletic or Bodo should win the Europa League, the rest of the results will be extremely unfair in terms of sporting logic.

Many thought Manchester United would not be able to make it this far in the Europa League due to their performance seen in the Premier League, but I saw potential in them when I saw them in the round of 16, and they keep maintaining their unbeaten record. Now they are in the semifinals, and there is a higher possibility for them to still win and make it to the finals, which I think they will definitely be the potential winners of the Europa League this season if care is not taken. We all hope to see Manchester United as the champions of the Europa title in 2025.

I am not surprised that they reached the semi-finals, but I do not agree that they can easily reach the final, it seems to me that the semi-finals will be their toughest test in the Europa League. And if you consider how weak their defense is, then I would give preference to Athletic Bilbao, especially since this tournament is no less important for them than for Manchester United. Amorim is betting on the Europa League, this is the only thing left for them, but I think they cannot be so openly losing to everyone in the Premier League, this affects the players' faith in their strength too.

It will be a very difficult qualifier for Manchester United. The lucky thing for them is that the first leg will be played away. If they play good defense in the match they will play in Spain, they can get a score that will allow them to reach the final in England. However, if they lose by a large margin in Spain, then the match in England will only become a prestige match. That is why the first semi-final match in Spain will be a very important match for the Portuguese manager. They want to go to the Champions League next year and the closest way to do that is to win the European league.

That's why they are working so hard to win the European league they want to qualify for the champions league but they are struggling to keep up..The struggle shows in their EPL matches, they hardly win any of the games they play but surprisingly they tend to perform well at the Europa league..Are they saving their strength only for Europa competitions or they are just getting lucky? I think they wouldn't last long, sooner or later they will be eliminated because they are in a very bad shape this season.

Comparing the records 2 clubs in the league is not a fair way, obviously level and competitors are different, almost all of us agree Premier League is tougher than other leagues and the fact is Premier League has 2 representatives here. If we want to compare, just look at how their journey to reach this stage, full of struggle and experience plays an important role here. I think Man United are more likely to be favourites, they have everything to keep fighting like experience, mentality and motivation this combination can be seen in their last match against Lyon. If you ask me who their opponents in the final yeah of course Tottenham, somehow i'm pretty sure PL clubs will dominate CL and UEL.

To tell the truth, Tottenham are also under the risk of being eliminated in the semi finals. 

The biggest mistake would be to underestimate Bodø/Glimt right now. They literally just eliminated Lazio and I can say they completely deserved it as well. They dominated the match home and resisted well in Italy later on. I don't think there is a big difference between Tottenham and Lazio. Don't look at bookies. They are manipulating the odds but they can't change the truth.

Why not have a finale like:

Athletic Bilbao v Bodø/Glimt ?? 

Tottenham  Hotspur are definitely very inconsistent with their performance and I won't be surprised if they end up being eliminated by Bodo/Glimt because they struggled to win Frankfurt. This is a good chance for Tottenham to finally win a trophy if they can win Bodo Glimt to make it to the final I believe neither Manchester United or Athletic Bilbao is impossible to win. If they can make it to the final then there is a good chance of winning the trophy because Manchester United is a not also consistent with their performance so it will be a game of luck.

To win Tottenham will have to take the game very seriously as if they are playing a very strong team because we all saw what Bodo Glimt are capable of doing and if they are underestimated they will surprise them. Being able to eliminate Lazio even if it was at penalties means they are pretty strong too and cannot be underated.

Tottenham are recently not at their best they are currently struggling so it is possible to lose against Bodo Glimt. A final of Athletic Bilbao vs Bodo Glimt will be interesting to watch.

I think there is something about these two English teams Manchester United and Tottenham this season in the Europa League because they have been struggling in the domestic league but somehow you see them get the results when needed because I for once didn't give either Tottenham or Manchester United any chance of making it to the semi stages of the competition we may see two English final this year because I can't use their performance at the premier League to judge these two teams, because the Europa League is the only license for these two teams to make it to Europe so they will do their best to make it to the finals

Expectations are high for Manchester United since the beginning of the season because Manchester United is undoubtedly the best team among all the teams in the European League, so if Manchester United cannot do well in this season of the European League, then it is their complete failure. So far, Manchester United has qualified for the semi-finals and the opponent that awaits them in the semi-finals is not a very tough opponent, but Manchester United will have to be careful and try to perform as well as possible. If Manchester United does not make any big mistakes and if Manchester United can perform like they are currently performing, then I think they will definitely be ahead of other teams in terms of winning the title this season.

Why not have a finale like:

Athletic Bilbao v Bodø/Glimt ?? 

It can be considered a prediction of the team that will appear in the final round is Bilbao vs Bodø/Glimt. I would bet on Bilbao if the scheme was like that the team in the Final.

Bodø/Glimt beat Lazio when Bodø/Glimt very few believed they could beat Lazio.
Uniquely if the scenario is Lazio vs Bodø/Glimt, then these two teams are able to reach the final without relying on players from other countries. If Bodø/Glimt's line up when they eliminated Lazio only had 2 players from outside Norway, Bilbao's players were all from Spain.

[JoyMarsha]

I really want to see that final... i hope to see the super small towm club Bodo reaching a Europa League final they deserve that. They beat much better teams in term of players names, and they come with a super low budget. So why not be happy for them?

And i want to be Bilbao the other team because i also like them and i want them to lift the europa league.

Before Athletic Bilbao lifts the Europa League trophy, they have a tough hurdle to cross(beat Manchester United) before reaching the finals; that's another tough hurdle of its own because every league finals is not an easy game that ends with common predictions.

However, it's hard to tell whether Bodo will advance to the finals to beat Tottenham that needs a trophy added to their name after many years of without trophy or is Manchester United to let Atletico Bilbao win them when Europa League trophy seems like where their whole hopes lies to lift the trophy since they badly performed in Premier League this season.

Watching their game against Nottingham Forest last night I was disappointed by Tottenham’s performance. It was so shocking that even in their home they conceded two early goals. Spurs had enough time to comeback in the game but could not get a goal until the final minutes of the game when they managed to get a goal back but it was already too late to get an equalizer. I have doubts they will survive Bodo in the Europa League semis.

[Tamaperdana]

Yeah, very unfortunate in the league and somehow somehow they are pulling it off in the Europa league. I actually thought that when they were paired with Real Sociedad I thought they were even going to eliminate Manchester United and after that it was Lyon. Although, Lyon isn't in form in their league but I personally thought they will eliminate Manchester United that was before the first leg. I saw how Manchester United played in that tie and changed my mind that Manchester will eliminate Lyon. So far, they have channelled all their energy to the Europa League, I just hope they win.

The simple reason that is certainly the strongest reason is because only in the European league does Manchester United have the opportunity to win a trophy and qualify for the Champions League without having to finish in the top 4 or top 5 in the English league. That is why Manchester United focuses more on its players to play in the European league, rather than in the English league. Because in the English league Manchester United no longer has any hope, whether to enter the Champions League or to enter the European league next season. But in this European league Manchester United still has great hope to be able to get a ticket to the Champions League, so it is only natural that Manchester United focuses more on the European league.

So don't be surprised if when Manchester United against Real Sociedad in the last 16 they are able to win and so is the match between Manchester United and Lyon. Because in reality Manchester United's performance compared to Sociedad or Lyon is actually not much different, it's just that Manchester United has a very strong determination to win. So the players really work very hard to continue to win in every round in the European league. Because if not like that, they have no hope and it is possible that next season Manchester United will only compete in the domestic league. So if that happens, of course it will be very embarrassing for a team like Manchester United.

I'm rooting Bodo to send Tottenham back to their home. I know they came from non popular league, but keep solid after beating Lazio. They can repeat the same result against Tottenham.
Even though people are in favor Tottenham to win the game, i know they can beat Tottenham. I know very well how shitty Tottenham is now. As long as they can always play fully defensive against Tottenham, they will win it.

The odds is obviously telling about how bookies are in favor Tottenham to win its home game against Bodo, but considering they are not at good state. Draw is likely to happen.

I'm thinking to pick Btts for this game. The risky is quite high, but worthy enough with the odds offered.

Tottenham will definitely win the match, Bodo with Lazio was just very lucky, then they managed to go to penalties and there as I said before it's a lottery, you never know how it can end but Tottenham is not Lazio, they are much stronger and more organised, so they will definitely go through to the next round

What happened in the Premier League cannot be used as a reference to happen in the Europa League semifinal match and certainly every team has great motivation in the Europa League competition, especially since it has reached the semifinal round which makes every team will do more because they are very close to the championship title.

Bodø/Glimt is a surprise team this season that can reach the semifinals so to face Tottenham cannot be predicted because both teams have the same percentage to qualify for the final without any surprises for whatever happens later.

Whoever deserves to be in the finals will definitely get there by hardwork and superiority. At this stage, all four clubs have the same chance of reaching the finals irregardless of their domestic league. It wouldn't be a surprise to me, if Bodo wins the league. After all, the least expected clubs are the ones pulling the stunts with big surprises at the end of the season. Clubs that we expected much from them ends up dissapointing us.

Lucky? Bodo/Glimt played well in both legs and it can't be called luck it proves that they are ready to reach the final, Tottenham is a popular team with all the advantages of their quality players I admit they are much better than Lazio but they are in the wrong hands, Ange really has bad tactics I don't wonder if Bodo next victim is them, I support Bodo in this match, I will not repeat the same mistake by underestimating them.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

The strategy implemented by Amorim was actually not wrong even though the results obtained by Manchester United at their home ground were not at all satisfactory for their fans. But if Amorim's goal is to maintain the fitness of his core players for the Europa League this season, that is very good for Manchester United because Amorim himself must have been very aware that the good opportunities are in the Europa League, not in the Premier League because their ranking is still outside the top ten of the standings.

There was a mistake made by Amorim in the last match in the English League so that the front -line duo did not go well and the strategy did not go perfectly. The reason is because they want to rest a number of players in preparation for the Europa League, but in my opinion the match in the European League can still be rested by players this week so that they do not lose points in the match, even though the Manchester United count will not be in the relegation zone but also need consideration to get points in the remaining matches.

This is a challenge for the Premier League team that will not easily conquer Bodo and Bilbao. Because I am quite curious, who between Manchester United and Tottenham will be able to finish it until the final board later. We may hope that these 2 teams can enter the final, but it feels unfair to underestimate Bodo and Bilbao. Bodo and Bilbao ambitions are sometimes greater than theirs.

Yes and indeed we should not underestimate the 2 teams that will be opponents for Tottenham and Manchester United in this semifinal round. After all, they will try hard to be able to realize the desires that are in front of them.

Bodo and Bilbao they will go all out to be able to win this match. There is no reason for them to give up just like that because the names of the 2 teams come from the English League. On the other hand, for Tottenham and Manchester United, this is a great opportunity for them and could bring together the English derby in the final later.

Tottenham Hotspur is another version of Manchester United but facing easier opponent, so better chance of playing the final game. That's all.

Compared to United, Athletic look like a top club - Athletic have 5 defeats and 26 goals conceded, while United have 15 defeats and 46 goals conceded  In general, 15 defeats sounds shocking.
If you look at it on paper, then Athletic or Bodo should win the Europa League, the rest of the results will be extremely unfair in terms of sporting logic.

Here no one comparing La Liga or Premier League results because Europa League is completely different platform where results and performance level are also completely on another level. Athletic Bilbao played 12 games with 8 wins 2 draws and 2 loses while Manchester United is also played 12 games with 7 wins and 5 draws mean no defeat in their campaign for this season which is amazing stuff despite having terrible season in Premier League.

First game is going to play at Bilbao Spain even Athletic Bilbao is having good advantage but still things could be not easy for both teams because their performance and quality is on same level in this competition and both have same level chance for going through into final here Ruben Amorim tactics are going to be important for Manchester United because he can bring something which give them favour in first leg game.

[Minor Miner]

Bodo and Bilbao they will go all out to be able to win this match. There is no reason for them to give up just like that because the names of the 2 teams come from the English League. On the other hand, for Tottenham and Manchester United, this is a great opportunity for them and could bring together the English derby in the final later.

If Manchester United and Tottenham were in good form then I would say Bodo/Glimt and Athletic Bilbao will not win. But Tottenham and Manchester United's performance is very irregular. Even though they have qualified for the Europa League semi-finals, I would still say that both of these teams have performed poorly this season.

I have seen Bodo/GLimt's performance in the Europa League. Bodo has played well in every home match. So I think Bodo has a chance of winning against Tottenham. On the other hand, Athletic Club is also a very strong team. They are not far behind Manchester United in any way.
