UEFA Conference League 2025/26 Season

[JeffBrad12]

Seeing a bunch of palace fans who chanted "Sacking Glasner in the morning" after the draw against bosnian club. I think they're all right. They can just sack him, and get someone to give them a manager bounce.

I know The Glasner downfall is genuinely sad to see after all he has done to the club. However, the longer it goes on, the worse it looks for him and club. So far his club has been downgraded so hard with no intensity, no motivation and totally disorganized.

Unable to beat Fredrikstad, Macclesfield, AEK Larnaka, Kups, Strasbourg, Burnley have proven it all. It's also showing he's not the right man for the job anymore. They truly need somebody to help them. It will be a shame they get knocked out before they sack him.

Samsunspor struggled against a tiny, weak team like Shkendija. They only managed to score in the 77th minute. This is actually a very weak opponent they should have beaten by a wide margin. Cherif Ndiaye missed a penalty at the start of the match. Mouandilmadji came on in his place and scored 5 minutes later. So the starting lineup was wrong. It seems like it will take some time for Thorsten Fink to get to know his team.

[MK-74]

Samsunspor defeated KF Shkëndija 1–0 away from home, winning thanks to a goal from Mouandilmadji, who came on in the 72nd minute and scored five minutes later.
In the early minutes of the match, Samsunspor were awarded a penalty taken by Cherif Ndiaye, but he missed the shot and sent the ball wide.

It was a good victory. Next week, Samsunspor are expected to win at home as well and advance to the next round.

Today we expect a very interesting day in this competition.
Realistically, Rijeka has already achieved a great result this season in the conference league (higher than expectations) but I think they have reached their maximum this season.
Omonoia is a better and more experienced team and they are the favorites in this match.
The same, as for Rijeka, can be said for Zrinjski against Crystal Palace.
Fiorentina is also the obvious favorite against Jagiellonia and in the other matches I expect more uncertain results.

Yes indeed, we have — Rijeka is playing against Omonia again after 20 years. The last time they met was in the first qualifying round of the UEFA Cup, and unfortunately Omonia was better, winning 2:1 at home and drawing 2:2 at the old Kantrida Stadium in Rijeka.

I would say we have a slightly reversed situation this time. Rijeka is now twice as valuable a team as Omonia, but looking at the domestic leagues of both teams, Omonia appears stronger — they are clear leaders in Cyprus, while Rijeka is still struggling and currently sits third in the Croatian championship.

If Rijeka somehow manages to get a draw in Cyprus, anything can happen on their home ground.

A great result for Rijeka, although it must be said that Omonia, especially in the first half, was the better team and had more chances to score.
However, a little luck plus a great goalkeeper saved the Rijeka team and in the end the team received a well-deserved reward for its courage and perseverance.
Zrinjski also impressed me with a brave game and a great result against the favored member of the English league, Crystal Palace.
Once again it is shown that it is not always the better and more expensive teams that win, but the teams whose players put more heart and fight on the field.

The outcome of this game indicates that, statistical advantage cannot always be taken as a guarantee of maximum points in the face of an extremely troubling defence by the opponent. It is true that fighting spirit can make the difference most of the time we will see small team beat giant. Many times the outcome of fate favours the daring and people do not anticipate it. In my opinion, there should be a lot of appreciation of the efforts of the players on the field. This accident confirms that our commitment may bypass material restrictions.

Palace performance has been poor recently and all fingers are point to the coach for not being capable to carry out his duties effectively to team performance. I'm not surprised that they played a draw with a weak team. However, it was one of the best matches for the host Zrinjski to hold down Palace till the game was over.

I don't know what took Samsunspor so long to score the 1st goal. They just dominated the whole match actually and didn't give their opponent much chance to score either.

1-0 is still a good advantage of course. But I hope they get a bigger score in the 2nd leg. Shkëndija is a very easy opponent. Samsunspor should be able to show the quality gap.

And after this round it's quite probable for them to say goodbye to the Conference League...

I don't think palace has won a match in their last thirteen games. I wasn't surprised because win or draw has always been a regular outcome for crystal palace. Zrinkski has only lost four matches in their domestic league so they are in form but nevertheless I expected crystal palace to defeat them. Crystal palace shown exceptional performance but wasn't impress because my expectation in them was high.

I know very few teams in conference leagues. One of these  teams was crystal palace. But this team also disappointed us. Anyway, they still have a chance to qualify for the next round. They drew the match with zrinjski in  the first leg match. Crystal palace should have performed better.
Fiorentina made no mistakes  against Bialystok. The win was pretty easy for fiorentina. Despite being a home match in Bialystok, Fiorentina dominated and won. The match ended  3-0.

[Jossque]

The Drita Celje match was fiercely contested. Celje managed to defeat their opponents 3-2 away from home and gained a significant advantage to progress to the next round. Having scored in the first half, Celje went into the break leading 2-0. However, they conceded two goals in the second half, bringing the score to 2-2. Celje secured victory in the final minute of the away match, and it now looks likely that they will advance to the next round.
Omonia lost to Rijeka at home by a single goal. Despite playing well from the start of the match, Omonia failed to defeat their opponents at home and made the tie difficult for themselves. Conceding a goal in the final minutes of the match, Omonia lost and now face an even tougher challenge to progress.

Crystal palace shown exceptional performance but wasn't impress because my expectation in them was high.

Crystal Palace sold their key players, and now it is affecting them massively in all competitions. Same Crystal Palace won Liverpool last season in the finals, now they can win Zrinkksi, a club I have just come to know of. In the absence of Guehi, Eberichi Eze, things have not been too well for them even in the Premier League. Mateta was about to leave. Good thing the deal did not get through. Hopefully, Crystal Palace will win the next fixture.

Fiorentina made no mistakes  against Bialystok. The win was pretty easy for fiorentina. Despite being a home match in Bialystok, Fiorentina dominated and won. The match ended  3-0.

Since UEFA Conference League is a new tournament and it includes teams sitting outside of the top positions then it is normal to not knowing all of them except those playing in top leagues.
Fiorentina for example is a well known team which is doing well in European competitions at the opposite of Italian Serie A where they are struggling to stay away from the relegation zone. The Polish team stands no chance in front of Fiorentina which almost qualified while playing away.

Crystal palace shown exceptional performance but wasn't impress because my expectation in them was high.

Despite the Crystal Palace current situation, I won't really take it into full consideration to judge the possible outcome of this game. I personally believe that Crystal is a bigger team than Zrinkski. A team can be performing so poor in the domestic league but do well on other competitions, and hopefully we will see Palace scale through on this one

[Jossque]

Fiorentina secured their place in the next round with a 3-0 win despite not playing well. Fiorentina, who allowed their opponents more possession, did not even let them take any shots on target. Fiorentina got what they wanted from this away game and will now wait for the return leg at home.
Samsunspor struggled to find the net against their opponents but managed to win the match with a single goal. Samsunspor dominated the match and deserved the victory. They will be more comfortable in their home match and will be the team to advance to the next round.

You know that if two teams that is doing well in there local Leagues, who has the opportunity or qualify to play these UEFA Conference League is not a lesser teams and more over the stages of the UEFA Conference League now can only take the grace and hard work of one opponent to win one another, if not mostly draws is likely to be seen as the result and for the Drita vs Celje match yesterday i have the feeling that Celje will won and that is why i predicted Celje to win that yesterday game with Drita, because i really saw the winning coming, it is normal that winning can come between one goal different from other team who has the chance to penetrate inside 18 box of their opponent because the other opponent is playing hard to score too.

Samsunspor are about to play against KF Shkëndija which is technically a quite easy matchup for the Turkish side.    Normally they should be able to win in both legs comfortably.

The winner of the matchup is going to face Shakhtar or Rayo which is a serious issue. Both of them are challenging opponents certainly. I feel like Samsunspor's journey will end in last 16 round but I'd like to be surprised - in a positive way.

Anyway there is still a month to go for the first leg of the current round...

UEFA Conference League matches are continue and we saw match of Samsunspor football team and Shkëndija football team which they played against each other to win this match. The performance of both teams was quite good because both teams gave good effort to win this match. Mouandilmadji was a person who did one and only goal of this match and he did this goal at 77 minutes of the match and that goal was a turning point in the second half of the match as there was no goal in the first half of the match and both teams were looking in pressure because they wanted to win this match. The shots of Samsunspor football team were more in number and these were 15 in this match and 7 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was excellent in this match which was 64 percent in this match.

[mandown]

Samsunspor won the match 0-1, a victory they could have easily achieved, and gained a significant advantage for the next round.
If Sherif had equalized the penalty awarded in the 7th minute, the score might have been very different.
Samsunspor lacks a striker capable of finishing. They defend well as a team, but they lack quality in their finishing.
I can say that Samsunspor has advanced to the next round.

[execijutiere]

Samsunspor struggled to score in their first match in Europe with their new manager, as some tactical and technical aspects had obviously changed. I watched the match, and frankly, if the penalty hadn't been missed, the match could have ended differently. It was unexpected for a player like Ndiaye to miss the penalty, but he failed to capitalise on the opportunity, and our representative could have turned the match around from that point on. At least, in terms of head coaches, one German handed the team over to another German. German discipline will continue.

A great result for Rijeka, although it must be said that Omonia, especially in the first half, was the better team and had more chances to score.
However, a little luck plus a great goalkeeper saved the Rijeka team and in the end the team received a well-deserved reward for its courage and perseverance.
Zrinjski also impressed me with a brave game and a great result against the favored member of the English league, Crystal Palace.
Once again it is shown that it is not always the better and more expensive teams that win, but the teams whose players put more heart and fight on the field.

A superb result from Rijeka. I must confess, the way the game developed last night, if someone had offered me a draw, I would have taken it. Omonia was the much better team than Rijeka, but Zlomislić managed to stop every threat that came in front of his goal. Then came the shocker for Omonia when Adu-Adjei managed to score a beautiful backheel goal out of nowhere. Omonia deserved to win 100%, but football is sometimes unpredictable like that.

Congratulations as well to Zrinjski for a superb game against the giants Crystal Palace. They need to be proud of this achievement. Now they need to boost their morale a little more and go for the win.

Crystal Palace has been in poor form even in their league games not winning against Zrinkski is not something new because they are not solid anymore, they were supposed to win from away because they are more of a good team then their opponent but not winning the game further proves that they are gradually losing out in the competition and if they do not watch their performance they may not make it to the next round. A team that wants to go far in a competition will not fail to win their games, if they want to be good in their European competition they should show good performance and stop dropping points.
