UEFA Conference League 2025/26 Season

[snipie]

Samsunspor lost to AEK tonight and lost the top spot in the UEFA Conference League. Samsunspor, like Galatasaray, started getting bad results in European cup matches after gaining good momentum. I think these two teams may have the same problem.

For Galatasaray, the defeat against Monaco was disappointing because Monaco is facing difficulties in Ligue 1. Losing in front of Union Saint-Gilloise was also an unfortunate result.
For Samsunspor, they are 4th right now until we see all results. Their variable performance is clearly noticed whether in Turkish Super Lig or in Europa League. Every team should study regularly the stats and the efficiency of the players and strategies used and taking decisions at the same time. After the small break in November, the team didn't win any game.

it is 1-1 at the moment. Samsunspor play strong really. They may not have a lot of possession but they play football the right way. It looks like pitch surface is really bad. By the way AEK’s first shot trial on target ended up as a score 

Samsunspor lost to AEK tonight and lost the top spot in the UEFA Conference League. Samsunspor, like Galatasaray, started getting bad results in European cup matches after gaining good momentum. I think these two teams may have the same problem. I mean, this situation should be studied by professionals. We may be facing these problems today because they feel psychological pressure or because of some mistakes made in the preseason camps. Both teams could have ended this week with a draw. We may also be making strategic mistakes...

Samsunspor played well in the first half. but second half things changed unfortunately. it was obvious that team was very tired. Since the beginning of the season they’ve been competing in local league and uefa conference league with the same starting eleven. They did everything they could and fought hard but they couldn’t manage to protect the score.

Based on the displayed odds, there is no doubt that Crystal Palace is most likely to secure the full points, Shelbourne seems to need a miracle to pull off an upset. The best result Shelbourne might achieve is forcing Crystal Palace to share the points, in many aspects, Oliver Glasner squad is heavily favored. I think if anyone wants to bet on a Crystal Palace win, it's quite convincing, even though the odds are too small.

The bookies are smart with giving the odds, Crystal Palace are leading the first half with 3 goals, and their performance is really awesome, the goals don't seem like they will be stopping in the first half, i expect lots of goals in the match.

Your prediction was before the match, right now their best performance might not help them achieve a draw, the best outcome they can get will be not finishing the match goalless, it's a clean victory for Crystal Palace, zero shots on target for Shelbourne.

I don't see this defeat as something serious because it's their first defeat in the conference league. They've played 5 games, only 1 loss and 1 draw, so it's not a bad performance. It's possible the players are very exhausted because they were coming off a game where they had to exert themselves a lot, I'm talking about the game against Galatasaray. Coaches usually complain about scheduling issues because of player exhaustion. But whatever the case, it's a fact that Samsunspor isn't doing badly in this competition.

As many people said, Crystal Palace managed to secure an easy win. Shelbourne could not do much, they were already three goals behind since the first half. In fact, throughout the match, Shelbourne failed to register even a single shot on target. Crystal Palace completely dominated the match, and they deserved the additional three points. I assume they will successfully finish in the top eight of the League Phase table, and automatically qualify for the round of 16. Overall, Crystal Palace is the favorite to win the Conference League this season.

Crystal Palace did not manage to win the match, it was a total defeat they gave to the Irish side Shelbourne. Hope you know that the match ended 0-3 in favor of them and the three goals were scored in the first half which if the host were that strong, they would have neutralized the goals in the second half. I will not conclude that Crystal Palace will win the trophy but they are definitely a team to beat in this competition.

Strasbourg is now the new leader. Shakhtar, Rakow and AEK are close behind. The top 8 is slowly taking shape. Favorites like Sparta Prague, Rayo Vallecano and Mainz 05 have also secured their spots in the top 8. Samsunspor lost the match they were leading and dropped to 5th place. If they lose to Mainz 05 in the final match, they will be out of the top 8. After leading for the last 4 weeks, finishing the league stage outside the top 8 would be a major disappointment. Let's see what the Samsunspor president has to say about this. As we know, he loves to talk. I'm sure he has an opinion on this too!

Many people are fond of using the word "manage" to describe the outcome of a football match when the score is above 2 goals, Shelbourne was outplayed by Crystal Palace because scoring 3 goals I nrhe first 45 minutes and defending it at away is a good sign that the away team is the better side also the possession and attempts made by the home team is another way to confirm that they didn't get more chance in the game it was Crystal Palace who did all the playing so winning the game was decided in the first half and they sealed the game very fast. There are some  other strong contenders in the competition like Strasbourg and Shakhtar Donetsk who are I nthe first and second in the table Crystal Palace will have to step up their game if they get to the finals.

Samsunspor only looked good because of an own goal that appeared to be their own in the first half, but upon closer inspection, the team was unable to find an equalizer in this match, which was also their home match in this season's Conference League competition. Interestingly, Samsunspor are still in the top five of the standings despite today's home loss, which should at least help them qualify for the next round, although they still have three more matches to focus on before the next round of the competition begins.

Sumsunspor got amazing start of their season into conference League but in last 2 games, they are slipping down, this is going to be a problem for them because now they are at 5th spot and their next game is also not easy because they are going to face Mainz in Germany.

In game against AEK Athens, they were looking not good even they managed an early own goal, and they also have good performance in first half but visitors done good comeback into second half and completely outclassed them with their quality, this is big setback for them because now they have to be well-prepared for the upcoming games and also need to be alive their hopes for direct promotion into next round.

Yeah but in the second half of the game there was a team that was completely out of physical condition. And they dont have any good bench player. Actually its also related with foreign player limitations in turkish teams. they struggle in europe because of that rules.

Forza Fiume! Rijeka won their match against Celje with a 3:0 scoreline. Maybe at first it may look like Rijeka dominated, but it was pretty much an equal duel, and if it wasn’t for the red card for Celje, who knows what could have happened in the end. But nevertheless, a big, big win for them, and they have almost secured spring in Europe — a first for them.

I never thought at any point that Shelbourne will be strong opponent for Crystal Palace and I am not surprised on the outcome of the match, its destined to be a one sided match and it did not fail. Crystal Palace is in a very good form in the premiership and the conference League and they just showed that by dispatching Shelbourne.
They are truly one of the favorite to win the conference League, because their are not much teams that can really compete with them right now.

At the end of first half, I was sure they are going to score same number of goals in second half, but they were not able to score any goal as they brought game tempo down and played casual game. In first half, they have 18 shots and in second half, they have 10 shots.

Difference of quality was clear between two clubs because throughout game Crystal Palace was dominating, and they never allowed Shelbourne to have anything against them. Currently Shelbourne is one of the worst side which failed to score any goal in their 6 games of this season, few teams are superior in quality, and they are having enough chances to stay on this level and going into next round without any big challenge.

AZ Alkmaar avoided making any mistakes in their away match against Drita and managed to return with three points. AZ Alkmaar, who maintained constant pressure and continuously sought goals from the first half onwards, scored a total of three goals in this away match. With this victory, they secured their third win in the Conference League, raising their points total to nine. The home team, meanwhile, suffered their first defeat. They were unable to make much of an impact against AZ Alkmaar.
Legia Warsaw led at half-time but conceded goals in the second half to lose the match. As far as I recall, they reached the Champions League a few years ago, but they are now struggling to win in the Conference League. They have had good results in the Polish league.

Well, I don't see anything like crystal palace managing to beat shellbourn, it was a very deserved win. Crystal palace won the game in first half and decided to slow the tempo in second half. Shellbourn is a very bad team with only one draw in the competition so far. Crystal palace definitely deserved to win and also go clean against that shit club.

Crystal palace is closing in on the 8th position as they're already on the 9th place. I guess they won't joke with their next fixtures. I never saw crystal palace struggling to qualify in this stage. As a matter of fact, they remain the favourite to win the title but their performance has not actually been like a team that really wanted the title. But there's still time to right their wrongs and we're willing to see as it unfolds. Strasbourg remain the only undefeated team in the race and sits comfortably at the top. Maybe

Our representative Samsunspor lost the match after leading 1-0 at half-time. Had Samsunspor been able to maintain their first-half performance in the second half, they could have at least secured a point from this match. Samsunspor, which had not lost a match until this one, thus suffered its first defeat against AEK Athens. AEK Athens, meanwhile, managed to increase its points to 10 with this victory.
Fiorentina faced Dinamo Kiev at home. Although Dinamo Kiev had more possession away from home, it failed to earn any points. Fiorentina went into half-time leading 1-0 thanks to Moise Kean's goal, but conceded a goal early in the second half to make it 1-1. Increasing the pressure, Fiorentina won the match 2-1 and secured their third victory.

Indeed! There wasn't the same performance in the 2nd half. I would have waited more from them. Maybe there was some complacency of getting ahead and being safe in the standings.

But now they are risking their chance for top 8 more. Their last match is a tough one against Mainz away.

Fiorentina faced Dinamo Kiev at home. Although Dinamo Kiev had more possession away from home, it failed to earn any points. Fiorentina went into half-time leading 1-0 thanks to Moise Kean's goal, but conceded a goal early in the second half to make it 1-1. Increasing the pressure, Fiorentina won the match 2-1 and secured their third victory.

The Fiorentina I knew from the past wouldn't let Dynamo Kyiv play comfortably in any half. The 1st half went that way but I can't say for the other part. But Fiorentina are having a very bad season. In the Serie A they might even relegate as they are at the bottom already.

[Jossque]

Crystal Palace managed to secure all three points with three goals away at Shelbourne. Crystal Palace dominated the game against their weaker opponents, winning thanks to their first-half goals. Palace were already heavy favourites for this match and comfortably won by scoring in the first half. With this victory, Palace took all three points and increased their tally to nine points.
Aberdeen lost at home to Strasbourg. Strasbourg, who won thanks to Godo's goal in the first half, managed to take the lead in the Conference League. Had Doukoure not missed a penalty in the second half, they could have had an easier match. Aberdeen still have no wins but have 2 points.

RC Strasbourg is the new leader. Despite their poor performance in Ligue 1, it's significant that they have achieved this success in the Conference League. Rakow Czestochowa also remains undefeated. The third-placed team in the Polish league is also third in the Conference League. It's great to see such teams achieve success in European competitions. The Conference League is achieving its goal in this way. Favorite Crystal Palace is currently trailing slightly behind. They will take the matches more seriously in the knockout stage.
