UEFA Conference League 2026/27 Season

[Daniel91]

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.

Biggest surprise of the day it was Atalanta not winning with an 1.08 odd and also not scoring goals ending in 0-0 result. As you said a lot of other disappointing results but what caught my eye as I was watching Dinamo vs Pafos game and the coach of Pafos was a very strange person provoking during all match, he kept yelling and yelling, Pafos is the favorite as they played in Champions group stage so no need for those stupid gestures from the head coach. Let's see return legs, should not be as many surprise results as this first leg.

Atalanta was really disappointing last night because I never for one day would have believed that they would be unable to win Hapoel tel Aviv that is way below their level, but that is football bro, and it's the main reason we can never say never in football because anything can happen.

Those that gamble on Atalanta to win would really be disappointed or pained because of how small their winning odds was, but it's has already happened, now I will be putting an eye on that game in the reverse fixture to see how things plays out, because I don't believe that they can be defeated in Israel by this Hapoel tel aviv side.

It looks like it was a really annoying night for you.    Because you had only 1 pick lost. Hajduk got a draw but they could have lost actually after the red card they got. Rakow scored the equalizer very late.

Atalanta didn't play as dominant as I expected. Brighton did but somehow both of these matches ended 0-0. The Conference League is a really big gamble honestly. Even the most reliable choices can easily make one upset.

Hajduk last year also was eliminated by Dinamo City in third qualifying round in Conference League so I was not expecting a great dominance by their side. They need to upgrade their team as I believe that is the max power they have and also in their local league it is some years they are not performing that well, Dinamo Zagreb is winning the league very easily just because of Hajduk not being up to the task to fight for the title. Still though Polish side not as strong so who knows maybe Hajduk comes back and wins.

Your prediction turned out to be correct.
Hajduk finally, after 16 years, managed to qualify for the group stage 1 of the European competition, after they beat Rakow away 3:2 after extra time.
Until now, Hajduk players would usually lose in such crucial matches because they would not be able to withstand the enormous psychological pressure of their fans and the public, but this time they were ready and won a difficult away match.
It is interesting that until this season Hajduk had not won away in European club competitions for 6 years and this season they have already won 2 away matches.
I was hoping that the other Croatian representative in this competition, Rijeka, would also manage to qualify for the group stage of this competition, but Midtjylland was too strong an opponent for them.
I think the other results were expected, except perhaps Rangers' elimination by Jablonec after penalties and the elimination of Greek PAOK in Norway against Brann.
Serbian Partizan came close to surprising and eliminating Spanish representative Getafe, but they clearly missed their chance in the first game in Spain.

Trabzonspor started with a win. KuPS Kuopio is a very weak team. KuPS Kuopio's total squad value is equivalent to Salah's only 2 months salary. It's only natural that Trabzonspor won with such a huge gap between the two teams, but conceding 2 goals wasn't befitting of them. They are lucky to have Onuachu and Franculino.

Conference League is relatively easy, I had said that Trabzonspor's loss in the Europa League qualifiers actually worked out better for them. They'll feel more confident by playing against weaker opponents here. I see them making it to the top 8 maybe, but the top 16 seems certain for them. If they win next week's match against Hearts, they'll have a huge advantage. They should do that with this squad.

Trabzonspor won easily as expected from them Kups just isnt even close to their level. What is wierd for me in this match is that Kups scored two goals against Trabzonspor and i think Trabzonspor need to look into that,they have a huge chance of going really far.

On other surprises Hajduk Split defeated Ajax 2-1 and this for me is probobly the biggest surprise in this round.

Onuachu had to come off shortly after scoring and couldn’t even stay on the pitch for 10 minutes. Salah’s quick pass without taking a touch was excellent for the goal, too. Trabzonspor were expected to win anyway. Kups tried to get into the game for a period, but Trabzonspor were much better today. If Onuachu hadn’t been forced off so early, Trabzonspor might have had a much more comfortable match.
