🐳 Whale.io ⚽ UEFA Europa League 2025-26 ⚽

[slaman29]

Spanish teams did quite well, but like @LTU_btc says, red cards were decisive in both games. I lost betting on Celta the first game, I stayed away from this one hehe

What can I say, better follow this topic to get news about  match updates.
I could notify and mention all participants before start of every round, but I am not sure everyone will react anyway.

Well, I don't see the harm. We're all asked to join 10+ pools nowadays so a reminder is nice, otherwise more of us will choose to join less pools. But I'm not complaining if not, just my fault to not realize one game started one day early, don't worry bro

I can't really follow much anyway I always login from work with completely fresh settings every shift for security. So I use a URL to notify myself, and without following already have like 10 things to see every day so maybe even with the notify I would not have seen it lol

Congrats to darbit for winning another round! 

Thank you man!, this is great i was in need of a good freebet on whale, whale freebets are the best around right now.

I was not expecting to be the winner of this round, which makes the win even more sweeter, i hoppe to keep winning rounds since im pretty far back in positions with 0 chances of fight for anything big at the final line.

[cryptofrka]

Do you want to bet with me on that, maybe on some BSFL as side bet?

I am sure Betis wont win the Europa League because I have insider information, and Europa League is my pool.  

Give me 10-1 and I'll consider
They are outsiders but when we discussed dark horses early on in the competition, they were my pick to go far.

Villa is a bookies favorite only based on team value - they are playing like shit recently. Wouldn't be surprised if Bologna knocks them out.

[buwaytress]

dar boy you're almost at the finish line! Superbru pools in these football KO tournaments are generally done by QF stages... the points are few and surprises don't help much. I'm also hanging in there...

Right anyway, England definitely getting this fifth place: Forest went to pens but Midtyjlland missed all their first three takes. Post, post, wide. Also, why did I not pick my beloved Celta?!?!?!

I watched the match live and it was crazy how many chances they had, and I think they have two goals denied because of offside.
In the end they deserved to go in next stages, penalties are a mental game and Midtyjlland was very poor with that.

Poor Midtylland. Used to be the northern darling of football a few seaons ago when they brought setpiece and throw-in coaches to prominence... but that surprise factor's gone. Now everyone's all about Bodoe/Glimt instead and Scandinavia is thrown out of Europe.

Chicken! 
Accept simple yes or not bet between us and prove you are not a chicken, or be mocked forever.

I agree with you, but math is saying that next round can get maximum of 12 points to someone, and we have 12 more points in round after.
That is plenty of points to change things in leaderboard, and we dont have such big gaps like in other pools.

Midtylland joined Bodo/Glimt in Walhalla

For the next round the most interesting game is the one between Bologna and Aston Villa and maybe the Forest Porto game also, the main question for me is about how much time wants to spend here Forest until they have the players super tired and not in full readiness for the fight of relegation on Premier League, this is something to take into care, i know for sure fans always wants to fight in every front, but lets see if the players dont suffer so much for the acumulation of games and the pressure.

Oh, I'm not alone who have or had some sympathy for this team. I remember having lot of success betting on their games in qualifying stages. There is one more little team that I like to follow, just not from Northern but Central Europe. It's Slavia Prague. I remember them having great seasons in pre and post covid years.
About Nottingham, I really hate fact that teams from Top 5 leagues, especially EPL who have shit season still reach late phases of Europa/Conference league. It shows how big level gap between them and rest of Europe.

I cant see anything other than Aston Villa going in next stage but maybe Bologna can do something in first match played in Italy.
From all teams left in competition I think Porto is in best form, and I think they can pass Nottingham and win the Europa title.
First round is played next week, so everyone get ready for your predictions.

There is no such big gap like before and I dont think they are winning European trophies this season.
In Europa league we have two teams from Portugal, and two from Spain.

About Bologna yes they are a really hard to beat team plus they play really well in h2h competitions, they won a italian cup the past year and here they took out Rome which is not a super team but still a good team.

About the English teams who are fighting for relegation but doing good here is complicated since sometimes you are lucky and played against not good teams, Fiorentina is fighting for relegation and is also doing good in Conference, and yes the gap is big so much usd in diference.

But almost every season we have EPL who is doing terrible in domestic league, they still go far in Europe. Spurs and MU is best example of it. Forest chances to lift trophy isn't that high and personally I would prefer to see Porto lifting trophy. It's been a while since club from not Top 5 league did it. Last team was Porto back in far 2011. But if not, I don't mind if one of Spanish clubs will do it.

Sometimes no matter how much you check the stats and follow through, it doesn't work the way you plan it or according to what the stats say, when it comes to these games you just have to follow your instincts because the games do change during the course of the matches due to intense pressure from either teams, there are some instances where you will find the weaker team beating the strong team, that's football, it's full of surprises.

[slaman29]

Exactly 1 more week to the next games, I'm going to come in here until I make my picks in Superbru, still too soon to do so I believe, teams are going to be a bit changed after internationals. @notblox1 How many prizes for this pool? I tried to look. I'm only caring because I'm in 6th place, I guess there's a chance

Oh @Lida93, I wonder how long you survive in Stake signature campaigns, clearly not reading the post well and replying in a way that doesn't even make sense. @Lida93 is a common spamposter I have called out in the past, I hope your campaign manager sees this.

The most important thing is that Bologna doesn't score first, because in that case they will defend the score hoping to play until the end of the game and the next one too 
As for Forest, I don't think they will "choose", both tournaments are extremely valuable, winning the Europa League gives a ticket to the Champions League, and they can't give up on the Premier League either. By the way, Aston Villa is in a similar position - they can fall out of the top 5, and they can win the Europa League.

It doesnt hurt to post your predictions on superbru website now, and than later change them if you want, just them lock them if you want to make any changes.
Matches are starting next week, but pay attention that match Braga vs Betis is played on the same day as Champions league matches.
There is still time for someone to try and take down KTC from the top of leaderboard

You dont need to post your predictions for next round KTC,  3.5 points is a big advantage

If only the final was ahead, I would listen to this advice  There is something to fight for now and the yellow caps are still at stake 
But today I have already made enough predictions, I need to wait and see how the weekend goes and then make predictions for the European Cups. I'll try to use the free bet from Whale again, the last one was ruined by Italy. I have 2 left, the week before the break for international games was very productive.

I was doing ok for Whale freebets I believe I had a sizable amount at one point but decided to do something very dumb and all in on one sure game, which of course didn't work out. Don't even want to check my bet history but it had to do with Barca of course, I should have stuck to Spanish teams in Europa, to use the luck from the same competition.

[notblox1]

Guys dont forget to post your predictions in superbru for Europa League play-off matches.
I know most people are focusing on Champions League today, but we have one match in Europa League starting earlier tomorrow, that is Braga vs Betis.
I dont know why they are doing this weird split again, but rest of the matches are played in the same time on April 9.

Already got burned once by Braga, not going to repeat same mistake twice. Braga have strange schedule because of UEFA 50 km rule. If two cities or stadiums are closer than 50 km between each other, they can play international games on the same day. There is Porto in Europa league, they're not far away from Braga and they're playing at home on Thursday. So, Braga game was moved to other day.
Also, Europa and Champions league can't be played on the same time, so Braga game is on earlier slot or they played in the middle of day previous time.

Well at least i took a nice exact in the first game of this quarterfinals round between Betis and Braga, i knew that could happen since Braga is a strong team in home games and Betis is a team very irregular, i know Betis is gonna win in their home and go into semifinals but for this first game it was a clear draw for me.

Today games are more difficult to guess somehow.

Im pretty far behind in this pool so i only play for the freebet.

I really, really wanted to go Betis here but yeah, I gave in to QF sensibilities, knowing that almos all away teams will be happy with a draw to take home and finish the job.  Glad I also got the exact score... once tonight is over, we'll only have 9 games and 27 points to fight for. I think top 3 will be out of reach for anyone in 4th or below once SFs arrive. So need to dig in. Realistically, 1st and 2nd place is only a matter between KTChampions and Saint-loup.
