UEFA Conference League 2025/26 Season

[mandown]

Beşiktaş's victory is perfectly normal. Beşiktaş is at least two or three times more qualified than St. Patrick's.
Başakşehir's victory was the most surprising for me.
Vinking were leading the Norwegian League and took a 1-0 lead in the match. They missed numerous scoring opportunities. Deniz Türüç scored in the second half to make it 1-1 for Başakşehir.
I expected Viking to win again, but Başakşehir got their second goal. In the final minutes, Viking were looking for an equalizer, but Selke capitalized on a long pass from the defender. He went one-on-one with the goalkeeper, dribbled past, and leveled the score at 1-3, giving Başakşehir a significant advantage in the next round.
Looking at my other match scores, I see other surprising results. For example, Lugano - NK Celje (0-5), Partizan - Hibernian (0-2), and Vikingur - Brondby (3-0)—these matches are surprising in my eyes. Those who placed surprise bets on these matches have made good money.

My friend, Başakşehir was the lucky one.
Yes, Viking leads their league, but Başakşehir has also built a very good team.
Their attacking side has been particularly strong. They acquired Nuno Da Costa from Kasımpaşa. He's a striker who knows the league very well.
Selke played a significant role in Hamburg's promotion to the Bundesliga last year. He's 30 years old and is in the maturation phase of his football career.
This year, Selke will be Başakşehir's primary striker. While Viking is a good team, Başakşehir is a better and stronger team, so I don't think the result is a surprise.
I also think Başakşehir will finish in the top four of the Turkish league this year.

It must be said that Başakşehir made a good comeback. Thanks to this, they may have advanced to the next round. I watched the match until it was 1-1. After Deniz Türünç's long-range shot went in, I switched to the Beşiktaş match. At that point, I knew that Başakşehir had taken the superiority. The subsequent goals were a bonus. Başakşehir won't lose at home. We can say that they advanced to the next round.
Beşiktaş also won comfortably, but we expected them to win by a bigger margin. In the second half, OGS stopped the team. There is no logical explanation for this. You should score as many goals as you can, that should be the rule. That's why German teams are so successful. They maintain that discipline.

Başakşehir drew 1-1 at home against Viking and advanced to the Conference League playoffs. They capitalized on their 1-3 away victory in the first leg.

In this match, Viking took the lead again but couldn't maintain it. Başakşehir scored an equalizer in the 40th minute. In the second half, Viking attempted to attack but were unable to find the net.
Başakşehir goalkeeper Muhammed made the best save of the match in stoppage time. This save was crucial. Had the opportunity resulted in a goal, the final minutes would have been very difficult for Başakşehir.
Başakşehir's opponent will be determined after tomorrow's matches.

Başakşehir played poorly against Viking in my opinion. They should have won more decisively on their home turf. I think their roster quality is better than many Conference League teams, but they drew at home. In my opinion, it was a poor match, and the fact that they advanced doesn't change that. Viking played more effectively throughout the match.

[MK-74]

Başakşehir FK didn’t play well in the first match either. I had seen Viking as the favorite, but Başakşehir won 3–1.
Başakşehir FK drew 1–1 at home against Viking and advanced to the playoffs. They had won the first match 3–1, and with that advantage, they moved on.
Most likely, Başakşehir FK’s next opponent will be Universitatea Craiova.

Beşiktaş will play tomorrow. Their opponents are easy, and they had won the first match 4–1, giving them a huge advantage.
Beşiktaş should comfortably win at home tomorrow and advance to the playoffs.
Their likely opponent will be Lausanne Sports.

[ingiltere]

Demir Ege doesn't have a single accurate pass. The goal he scored was just luck because it deflected off an opponent. He's not good enough to play in Beşiktaş's midfield. With 10 central midfielders available, it's a big mistake to keep playing him. Paulista is struggling as a right defender. A transfer is needed there.
Arroyo wasn't bad in the first half, but he needs to play more and gain experience. Rashica isn't performing on the left wing. Abraham didn't receive many passes. Rafa Silva wasn't very visible on the field. Overall, we can talk about tactical mistakes. Ole Gunnar Solskjær didn't prepare well.
Beşiktaş will advance to the next round, but the first half can't be used as an excuse. If we also take into account the second half of the first match, the team played a 90 minutes that was unworthy of Beşiktaş. There are many issues that need to be resolved.

[yenerbatmaz]

I saw Beşiktaş struggling against St Patrick's. Perhaps Beşiktaş players underestimated their opponents and fell behind 0-2.
With the score at 0-2, Beşiktaş fans in the stands chanted against their own team, which was striking.
Beşiktaş tied the score at 1-2 in the final minute of the first half and went to the locker room with the score at 1-2.
In the second half, Abraham scored a truly impressive goal to make it 2-2. Joao Mario scored the decisive goal, and Beşiktaş won the match 3-2.
Beşiktaş's football is terrible, and if it continues like this, they will lose the Turkish League title in November.
I doubt Solskajer will be able to manage the team until then.

Beşiktaş is a better team than St. Patrick's in terms of quality, but underestimating your opponent is a mistake in football, and in many matches, teams that underestimate their opponents lose. Beşiktaş initially allowed their opponents to play their way and fell behind 2-0. They later realized their mistake and started playing better.

If it weren't for the scoring advantage from the first leg, Beşiktaş would have struggled in this match, but thanks to both their scoring advantage and their quality, they managed to win the match 3-2. Beşiktaş learned a valuable lesson for their future matches today.

[ajanwalker]

I think Beşiktaş has become like an ordinary Anatolian team.
Starting the season with Ole is a huge mistake. I think Ole will be fired from Beşiktaş within a month at the latest.
Beşiktaş's first-leg play may have fooled everyone. The ST Patricks team is a very ordinary, weak team. Aside from scoring goals, they didn't do anything productive today.
Beşiktaş made the playoffs and will even qualify for the group stage, but with this kind of play, it's impossible for them to succeed in the conference league.
Now, their playoff opponent is Lausanne, a team Beşiktaş should have a comfortable victory over, but we'll have to wait and see.

Despite how they performed at the start of the game but they managed to come back and beat their opponent 3-2 in that game to qualify, with what happened during the first half games, I wasn't expecting them to win, and they won their first they came back to play this relaxed and leaving not putting the supposed effort. However,  they obviously need to step up their game more, if they want to go forward and achieve trophies.

Beşiktaş really can't keep up with Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray when it comes to squad quality. This is affecting their success rate in every tournament badly as a result.

Tonight it could have ended really badly for them. Getting 2-0 behind in the first half was unbelievable. Maybe they won by a comeback but they don't seem promising in case of facing a real threat later on.

[SUPERSAIAN]

Beşiktaş qualified for the next round today. While the start of the match didn't look good for Beşiktaş, they eventually turned the score around. Beşiktaş seemed comfortable in their first match. Beşiktaş's squad quality was truly lacking. The fans weren't happy with the performance or the squad at all.

We saw in this match how hopeless the fans have become. There are some intolerant Beşiktaş fans, and they're right. Coming back from a 2-0 deficit was a good motivation for Beşiktaş and a crucial one.

[MK-74]

Beşiktaş started the match poorly and fell behind 2–0.
If their opponent had scored one more goal, I think they would have been under huge pressure, and they might even have lost the match. But they scored a goal and relaxed.
Beşiktaş then scored 2 more goals and won the match. Unfortunately, their overall play isn’t good, and if they continue like this, they won’t get very far.

Beşiktaş’s next opponent Lausanne, is a much stronger team than St. Patricks, so I think Beşiktaş will struggle in that match. I hope they manage to reach the group stage.
The first leg will be played next week.

Two games had my attraction today and both were amazing in all aspects , from odds , goals , penalties etc.

First one where I even bet 2$ on Neman to qualify after being down 2-0 but Klaskvik didn't look like a proper football team tonight and eventually Neman scored twice , pushed the game to extra time and eventually penalties and won. Crazy fact was that from 2$ I've made 12$ as Neman had x6 odds to qualify.

Second is Trnava vs Craiova ( a team from my country ) and it was supposed to be a relaxing game for Craiova having 3-0 overall and basically their only job was to practice a stable football but in second half things went out bad for them and Trnava scored 3 goals in a row and making the overall score at 4-4 with 4-1 being the current score. Guess what ? Another game with extra time but this time no penalties because Craiova managed to score twice and qualify but odds ...odds where 1.03 for Craiova to qualify and 10x for Trnava and some cashout speculations on this went could have gone wild with great profit from both teams. 

[Distraction]

Good job by Turkish teams in this stage! But I must also say Besiktas really made their fans worried in the first half.    They can't play complacently as of now if they want to qualify for league phase smoothly.

For the upcoming matches in the playoffs, my current picks:

- Basaksehir @1.70 against Craiova
- Strasbourg @1.65 against Broendby IF

Interestingly the odds for Lausanne - Besiktas match are closed for now. Do you know why? Probably Besiktas would also have odds around 1.60 or a little above. I'm thinking of adding that one to my parlay also.

We saw very tough situation in that match because one team did 3 goals at the end and opponent team score was 4 but after that we saw penalties between these two teams which made match to the side of Universitatea Craiova football team as they did 3 goals in the match and when they got penalties then they got benefit from that opportunity. Băluță was  a person who played crutial role in this match because he did goal at 101 minutes when team score was only 1 and we saw next goal at 117 minutes which gave confidence to the players of the team .The shots of Universitatea Craiova football team were less in this match which were 16 and  6 shots were on target. The possession percentage of that team was also very low in this match but they became successful to win this match.

Lincoln has done incredibly well to qualify for a european competition; they had an historic qualifying campaign Btw, and they also have this potential to improve over time. It's a massive achievement for a small team like Lincoln!

On the other hand, it's really not appropriate to see clubs like Hajduk that haven't seen European competition in 15 years play the competition, only to get eliminated by the stronger teams. But the good part is that small teams are really working very hard to reach where other strong teams have used many years to build to, hopefully they will earn their spot soon. The consistency in matches will definitely guarantee them a huge result this season. Now clubs like San Marino are still in the team playoff.

Başakşehir's opponent will be determined after tomorrow's matches.

Başakşehir played poorly against Viking in my opinion. They should have won more decisively on their home turf. I think their roster quality is better than many Conference League teams, but they drew at home. In my opinion, it was a poor match, and the fact that they advanced doesn't change that. Viking played more effectively throughout the match.

Basaksehir couldn't beat Viking at home because the Norwegian side tried so hard to see if could turn the result around but couldn't get the desired result due to the fierce attacking prowess of the home side which means Basaksehir would now play in the Europa conference league this season.Basaksehir would need to improve in their method of playing especially in their defensive area so as to strengthen the squad for upcoming season.

To tell the truth, I always question the existence of the Conference League.    Why did UEFA feel the need of a 3rd European tournament which is even below the level of the Europa League?

Look at the prize money of this tournament.


_{Source: https://www.salaryleaks.com/prize-money/uefa-conference-league}

The biggest prize is literally €7m. The winner of the tournament gets it. What's the point of this then? Just to make more teams happy with a different kind of trophy?

I still question the future of the Conference League because of that. It might not even exist as long as the Europa League.

It's simple, teams play more matches, fans follow the team, more matches are played and more money is involved, it's clear that the prize money will be smaller but it must be said that the final will be less followed than other finals such as the Europa League or Champions League, and it's normal that there is less money.
