UEFA Conference League 2025/26 Season

[Lida93]

Strassbourg played a very good match and in the end won 2:1, but it must be admitted that Rijeka also played a great match and were close to a more favorable result (draw), however they didn't take advantage of their chances while Strassbourg showed why they are one of the favorites to win this competition.

At the beginning of the match Strasbourg could have already been 0:2 or even 0:3 up. They had a storming first 20 minutes. After that Rijeka also created some superb chances but couldn’t score. The second half was even more eventful. It’s a shame Rijeka didn’t get a draw, but they made their fans proud. Being on the same level as a team like Strasbourg is great to see. The away game will probably be one-sided, but maybe Rijeka can wait for their chance and, if something goes their way, reach the quarterfinals.

Strasbourg winning by 2-1 isn't a very great result, though they have won the first leg but it still isn't clear if they would be able to go through because Rijeka still has the chance to come back, it's just a one goal difference, if Rijeka decides to be on the offensive in the return leg fixture then they might get an early lead that may be very detrimental to Strasbourg , it's going to be one of the most interesting games because both teams still have a chance at qualifying to the next stage.

The gap between the clubs was too big and Strasbourg ended up being something that is big enough and when they won that is not something that would be normal for them to win but it was too close and that is an achievement by their opponent. I get it and we should see this being something that would be very good for all of them.

Sure, Strasbourg could go on and that is probably the one thing that will go on for a while but as long as we have a situation where Strasbourg does well enough, we should not really look into this as we see bigger teams are having trouble these days.

Strasbourg winning by 2-1 isn't a very great result, though they have won the first leg but it still isn't clear if they would be able to go through because Rijeka still has the chance to come back, it's just a one goal difference, if Rijeka decides to be on the offensive in the return leg fixture then they might get an early lead that may be very detrimental to Strasbourg , it's going to be one of the most interesting games because both teams still have a chance at qualifying to the next stage.

A one-goal advantage is always tricky. You think you're safe, but mistakes can happen, and very quickly you can find yourself on the other side of victory. I don't think that Rijeka will attack from the beginning. It will be Strasbourg who try to end the game in the first half, but there lies the chance for Rijeka: wait, try to shock them, and if that doesn't happen, give it their all in the last 20–30 minutes of the game. I think that's the best option for them.

It was a bad defeat for Samsunspor. Rayo Vallecano won 3–1 away from home and will most likely be the team advancing to the quarter-finals.

If Samsunspor want to reach the quarter final next week, they will need to pull off a surprise and win the match by at least three goals.

It will be a very difficult game, but they have a squad capable of achieving it.

It was a disappointing defeat for Samsunspor they were supposed to do better because they played at home but they lost with a very high goal margin which will be very hard for them to recover in the second leg unless they put up some great magic. 1:3 defeat to Rayo Vallecano was a very bad and unexpected result, but they just have one more leg to do it right this time and winning 0:2 from away will see them go straight to extra time, if they have good squad then they have to achieve the result so they can qualify.

The stats of Rayo Vallecano football team was low quality but they won this match because they did more goals in this match and opponent team stats was excellent in this match but they required to do more goals in this match which they could not And they lose this match at the end. The shots of Rayo Vallecano football team were only 5 in this match and 4 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was 46 percent in this match and passes of that team were low in this match which were only 266 in this match but opponent team shots were 9 in this match and 5 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was 54 percent in this match.

I think that's the best option for them.

In the first match, after Strasbourg took a 2-0 lead, Rijeka scored a goal. The match ended 2-1, and Rijeka's hopes remain alive. It's not impossible for them, as a one-goal victory would take them to extra time. They are aware of this and will want to play a controlled game. In that case, perhaps they can achieve something in France. Of course, losing at home in the first match is a big blow for them. In tournaments like this, you have to win on your home ground.

Strasbourg showed their quality in this match, took advantage of their chances and in the end deservedly won.
Rijeka had their chances but managed, in the end, to score only 1 goal.
That is the difference between a top team and a team that doesn't yet have enough experience and maturity for such important matches.
Yes, while playing, there is always hope but realistically Rijeka's chances in the return match are really minimal.
From what I saw in the first match, Strasbourg is the favorite not only for the overall victory against Rijeka but is also a very serious favorite to win this competition.
Of the other clubs, I see Fiorentina, AEK and Rayo Vallecano as possible favorites.
What do you think?

Strasbourg winning by 2-1 isn't a very great result, though they have won the first leg but it still isn't clear if they would be able to go through because Rijeka still has the chance to come back, it's just a one goal difference, if Rijeka decides to be on the offensive in the return leg fixture then they might get an early lead that may be very detrimental to Strasbourg , it's going to be one of the most interesting games because both teams still have a chance at qualifying to the next stage.

Strasbourg has performed well when playing at home, but in this competition they have fared better away from home. Their advantage when playing at home in this competition is that they can achieve draws and not concede a goal. If things go as they have in their past games in this competition, then they can finish with a draw in the next game and qualify for the next phase of the conference league. They have an advantage because they won and because they will be playing at home.

In tomorrow second leg matches, there are clear favourite teams where the odds of their opponents pass 5. Among these favourite teams there are AEK Athens, Crystal Palace, Mainz, Rayo Vallecano and Strasbourg. The results of these teams in the first leg were good for some of them but for Mainz and Crystal Palace for example, their games ended up with a draw.
Sparta Praha vs AZ Alkmaar odds are 2.33 vs 3.27 respectively, at the time where AZ Alkmaar were the winner in the previous match. Same goes for Fiorentina with almost equal odds between them and their rivals.

[execijutiere]

Mainz failed to live up to expectations in their first match. Having drawn against Sigma, we can say that Mainz are clear favourites for this home fixture. I believe Mainz will beat their opponents and progress to the next round. Unlike the first match, this one is likely to be a high-scoring affair.
Crystal Palace is another team, much like Mainz, that failed to meet expectations in their first match. Crystal Palace drew 0-0 in their first home match. It must be said that they are once again the favourites away from home. I believe Crystal Palace will defeat their opponents, albeit with some difficulty.

[karabiber]

Rayo Vallecano holds the advantage based on the result of the first match against Samsunspor. For this match, I expect an open game, and a back and forth scoreline seems likely. Vallecano typically plays a style where they try to increase the tempo at home and push the play into the opponent’s half.

Samsunspor, on the other hand, has players capable of quickly breaking forward and scoring when opportunities arise during transitions. An open game could lead both teams to leave gaps behind their defenses. These gaps increase the likelihood of clear-cut scoring opportunities for both sides. Regardless of which team scores first, the other side’s reaction could further increase the pace. Samsunspor must take risks to advance.

Mainz failed to live up to expectations in their first match. Having drawn against Sigma, we can say that Mainz are clear favourites for this home fixture. I believe Mainz will beat their opponents and progress to the next round. Unlike the first match, this one is likely to be a high-scoring affair.
Crystal Palace is another team, much like Mainz, that failed to meet expectations in their first match. Crystal Palace drew 0-0 in their first home match. It must be said that they are once again the favourites away from home. I believe Crystal Palace will defeat their opponents, albeit with some difficulty.

Get draw at first leg match and its away match I don't think fail for Mainz after holding draw by Stigma because today will play at home and higher opportunity for winning the match. Mainz team on good perform after winning from Werder Bremen in Bundesliga match and its good capital to secure next round by defeating Stigma.

I think difference with Crystal Palace position, can't take advantage for the first leg match playing at home and get draw against AEK Larnaca and today will play away match get pressure from home fans, however Crystal Palace more ready for this match although last premier league match playing draw with Leeds united.

[Gost ms]

The match between AEK Larnaca vs Crystal Palace may not be at all favorable for Crystal Palace. Because their position and their results in the last few matches are not that favorable and they are not in a consistent position, their good results cannot be seen in the last 5 matches, rather their results are disappointing. Crystal Palace's last match against AEK Larnaca was at Crystal Palace's home ground. We all thought that Crystal Palace would make a big difference in this match and in the next match Crystal Palace would strengthen their defense and secure their victory. But Crystal Palace drew at their home ground, this match AEK Larnaca is ahead of Crystal Palace in all aspects. Let's see what the result of this match will be.

After a lot of missed opportunities, Forest was able to find the back of ghe net to level the scoreline to 1-1. The goal came in on the 41st minutes with a good finish from Dominguez. This is his first Europa goal this season.

Forest is dominating the first half as if they're at home with five shots on target and a total of 12 shots. They're mounting pressure on their host Midjylland  defense but they don't have good finishers if not they should have scored more than one goal.

[paco92x]

Strasbourg Vs Rijeka 0:1 1st half

Rijeka have managed to equalise in France. A superb piece of play between their players, finished by Toni Fruk, gives Rijeka a chance to dream of reaching the quarterfinals. Still 45 minutes to go, and Strasbourg will not wait for extra time—they will surely attack with all they have to finish the game in regular time. An eventful second half is waiting for us.

Results from the conference games that is currently been played tonight, Fiorentina continue their fine form as they went away win 2:1, but the most surprising result was Celji going away to winning AEK Anthens who also win the first leg away from home

Results from the conference games that is currently been played tonight, Fiorentina continue their fine form as they went away win 2:1, but the most surprising result was Celji going away to winning AEK Anthens who also win the first leg away from home

It's a surprise AEK Anthens couldn't win a home but they're lucky that they scored up to 4 goals away else they wouldn't had qualified. Fiorentina's victory was expected, the team they played against wasn't their match and they didn't just relax cause they're playing a weaker team but still made sure they won the first and second leg. Another team that impressed me is Mainz, they could score in their opponents home but they sure they beat them today.

It's a surprise AEK Anthens couldn't win a home but they're lucky that they scored up to 4 goals away else they wouldn't had qualified. Fiorentina's victory was expected, the team they played against wasn't their match and they didn't just relax cause they're playing a weaker team but still made sure they won the first and second leg. Another team that impressed me is Mainz, they could score in their opponents home but they sure they beat them today.

Samsunspor won 1-0 in Spain, but they couldn't score the second goal that would have taken them to extra time and secured their qualification. As a result, despite winning the match, they were eliminated. Losing 3-1 at home is even more upsetting. Samsunspor had to win at home. That poor result completely disrupted everything. Nevertheless, as Turkey, we were proud of them.

[nikola22]

Shakhtar Donetsk lost to Lech Poznan 1-2 but thanks to away victory 3-1 advanced to QF. it was really poor performance from Shakhtar and only thanks to own goal from Lech's Joao Moutinho they managed to make score 1-2 and avoid extra time. the next opponent is AZ Alkmaar and they are far more serious club. AZ beat Sparta Prague in away match 4-0.

But Crystal Palace drew at their home ground, this match AEK Larnaca is ahead of Crystal Palace in all aspects. Let's see what the result of this match will be.

Their match last match against the AEK Larnaca was the Crystal Palace home and to give crystal palace a pressure to lead the match to a draw which is why in this second leg they really came well prepared and got the victory over the AEK Larnaca.
Because that their last first leg I was very disappointed on the crystal palace with the kind of the game they played other day, their at home instead of them to use home advantage and get what they want; but they missed uses their chances of getting a win god has save them that AEK Larnaca got two red cards if not it could not funny enough for crystal palace.

[Tonimez]

Mainz is one team I would say that they are very aware of all the tricks they have been pulling up since the season. They are set on the conference league and remained at the last place on their league table ( Bundesliga) for a larger part of the season while chasing this title steadily. I have finally come to stop seeing Mainz as the lower teams I usually mistake it for after this game. The team has also suddenly jumped to the 13th place on their local league. I will assume that the success of many teams we see as weak is also backed by the league they found themselves.

Sigma is on the 5th placed of their Czech first league with 40 points and lost to Mainz. This has a lot to say about the strength of every league. This is the same factor I believe made Nottingham forest, a 17th premier League team to beat a second placed Midtjylland in the Europa League.

[Edited out]

Samsunspor won 1-0 in Spain, but they couldn't score the second goal that would have taken them to extra time and secured their qualification. As a result, despite winning the match, they were eliminated. Losing 3-1 at home is even more upsetting. Samsunspor had to win at home. That poor result completely disrupted everything. Nevertheless, as Turkey, we were proud of them.

This is another proof of my points. When it comes to the European competition, lower leagues tend to understand why they're referred to as lower leagues. Samsumspor, one of the Turkish giants couldn't get past the Laliga team.
