But who reached the final? It was Fiorentina, with a market value of €340.05m against Olympiacos, with a market value of €164.60m. And the team that won the Conference League in that final was Olympiacos, which has a market value lower than Fiorentica's 3x lower than Aston Villa's. This shows that market value is not the determining factor in being champion or winning games. Of course, money helps teams a lot, but if they don't have a good coach and aren't capable of making good signings, then having a lot of money will be useless.
I agree that market value isn't the only determining factor, I was simply drawing a straightforward conclusion based on market value. Typically, teams with high market values possess high quality, the higher a team's market value, the higher its quality. However, luck also plays its own role in sports in general.
Just look at how Paris Saint-Germain lost to RC Lens, a result that should have been virtually impossible, yet there were other factors that ultimately enabled RC Lens to become the competition's champions.
I bet on Hajduk and other games. Here are my bets for today's games:
HNK Hajduk Split - Rakow Czestochowa
I don't have much to say because I don't know Rakow well, so I only had to analyze based on the results of their last 5 games. But on the other hand, I know HNK Hajduk Split because after my last post in this thread I watched more videos of their games and their players, so my conclusion is that putting them in my parlay will be good. But I preferred to choose the Double Chance market with " HNK Hajduk Split or Draw " which has odds of @1.29.
Atalanta - Hapoel Tel Aviv FC
In this game I bet on Atalanta to win, with odds of @1.16. I won't comment much on this game because I haven't seen Atalanta play seriously yet. So this is a risky bet.
Tromso - Brighton
In this game I preferred the Double Chance market where I bet on " Draw or Brighton " with odds of @1.17. Brighton hasn't played seriously yet, so I have no idea how they're performing. That's why I consider it a risky bet. In the end, the total odds were @1.75, which is what my parlay has. I placed a small amount on this parlay, and even if I lose it won't be a problem. Even if I win, it won't be a big deal. I won't be watching any of the 3 games I bet on.
Hajduk Split should have won the match easily, but after the red card, they were unable to score, instead, Rakow netted their second goal. Well, you actually still win because the double chance option. But Atalanta completely blew it. It’s shocking, playing at home against a weak team from Israel & failing to win.
Yes, Hajduk disappointed their fans again and missed the chance to win in front of their fans and go to Poland with an advantage. Away, Hajduk is playing worse so I think Rakow is now the favorite to win overall and qualify for the group stage of the competition.
Besides Atalanta not beating H. Tel-Aviv at home, there were a few other surprising results last night.
I expected Brighton to win against Tromso, but Norwegian clubs have been very good in qualifying for all European club competitions this season.
Norwegian Brann also has a very good result against PAOK away, 1:1 and a good chance to qualify for the group stage of the competition.
Qarabag's away win against Twente 1:0 is also a surprise, and it seems that Greek clubs are in crisis because Panathinaikos also failed to win, they only played 2:2 at home against Czech Hradec Králové.
