UEFA Europa League 2026/27 Season

[Black Mbaye]

Today, both Beşiktaş and Trabzonspor have two very important matches in the Europa League.
The fact that both teams have significantly strengthened their squads this season and more clearly stated their European ambitions raises expectations before the matches. Beşiktaş has a big advantage playing at home. From a distance, Beşiktaş has a higher quality and deeper squad than their opponent, and they will be playing at home. Trabzonspor's task is a bit more difficult. Ferencvaros is a team with more experience in European matches.

Ferencvaros will pose a challenge to Trabzonspor. Trabzonspor must put up the best fight against them. However, Trabzonspor, having been absent from European matches for many years, must somehow compensate for its lack of experience. They have become a team that has made a name for itself in Turkey by signing good players. The signing of Mohamed Salah, in particular, has made Trabzonspor even more recognizable in Europe. I hope they win this match and gain an advantage in the next game to qualify for the Europa League. I also expect Beşiktaş to win this match and beat their relatively easier opponents.

[W Jr.]

I want to mention some matches that I think will end in a decisive victory. I think Benfica will not lose at home and will win. I also think Trabzonspor will win at home. I think Beşiktaş will get an easy victory against the Lithuanian team. Especially if Vlahovic plays, he can have a good start. Trossard and Cerny will be important players for Beşiktaş. I also think Anderlecht will win in Kazakhstan. These are my predictions for the Europa League matches; I see the other matches as risky because either team can win. I hope our country's teams can get victories tonight and gain an advantage for the return leg.

Beşiktaş, under head coach Italiano, is now playing an attacking, high pressing style of soccer that suits its profile very well. Beşiktaş is making significant progress in its play day by day, and although it has created numerous scoring opportunities in the matches it has played this season including preseason games I believe it has scored fewer goals than it deserves. This time, I expect them to be more effective in front of the net. The quality of Beşiktaş’s roster is on a completely different level compared to their opponent’s, and Beşiktaş scoring an early goal could be the key to unlocking the match. All the data indicates that Beşiktaş is far superior to their opponent in terms of both player quality and the caliber of their play.

Tonight’s match between Besiktas and Kauno Zalgiris is a no-brainer in terms of who will win. Head-to-head of these two teams have never faced each other. But Besiktas appears to have a significant advantage over Kauno Zalgiris given that their recent performances differ vastly when we compare their respective last five matches. And I’m confident Besiktas will defeat them easily in the first leg. As for the Trabzonspor vs Ferencvaros match it’s very difficult to predict because both teams have been inconsistent in their most recent matches. But I personally think that Trabzonspor’s home-field advantage in this first leg will give them the edge to dominate the upcoming match. It would be a major problem for Trabzonspor if they lose this first leg as they’d have to fight tooth and even nail in the second leg on the road.

[Unsoldier]

For me, the most interesting Europa League match today is Red Star Belgrade vs Viktoria Plzen. Red Star surprisingly crashed out of the Champions League qualifiers, and now they desperately need to redeem themselves in front of their fans. They have been in top form in the Serbian league, winning 3 games in a row. So playing at home, Red Star are more than capable of beating Viktoria.

I agree with your predictions but the one team I won't ever underestimate is Farencvaros Budapest and it seems they are leading now, good thing Salah is on the pitch maybe he can produce magic. Aside from that I think your prediction is spot as Adelecht has already won there game trashing there opportunity 3 to 0. Another game that is still twisted is this Salzburg match, I don't understand why they are still in a goalless draw.

[ingiltere]

In the first half Beşiktaş played exactly as I expected. They started the game strong and controlled possession, immediately regaining the ball whenever they lost it with their high press. They scored quickly with Oh and Murillo. Rıdvan made both assists, he's also having one of the best games of his career. Full backs play a very important role in Italiano's game plan. Both Murillo and Rıdvan are much more active in attack than they were last year.

The pace slowed down a bit after the first 25 minutes but that's normal. Beşiktaş will score more goals in this match. I actually mentioned before the game that this would happen.

At half time, Cerny came off and İlhan came on. I hope it's not an injury and that's a tactical and rotation based change. We'll also see Vlahovic for the first time today, he's warming up right now. I expect him to enter the game around 60th minute. Let's score at least 2 more goals and finish Kauno Zalgiris right here.

[Distraction]

It's a really too easy match for Beşiktaş and it was nice to see them getting 2-0 ahead early already. But since then they couldn't score any more goals despite playing very dominantly...

I hope they can score at least a couple of more to secure the league phase mostly. Even 2-0 would be enough for it of course thinking Zalgiris isn't a powerful team.

But it would be nice for Beşiktaş to score as many as possible to boost confidence.    I'm looking forward to see Vlahovic in the match!

They are able to get a third goal which came through a penalty. I expected of them to get a win but, didn’t think they would be able to manage above 2 goals and for them to have scored 2 goals way early in the first half, you just know they found a way to crack this game and have got all the advantage they need from this fixture. Coming back from this is what I consider impossible against this Turkish team.

Trabzonspor didn’t have a good day at the office, it’s M. Salah’s first game with the team, playing at home and they couldn’t get a goal against Ferencvaros and even worst, they lost. The game is still pretty open as, it recorded only 1 goal.

Beşiktaş and Anderlecht are winning their respective matches with a few minutes to finish their games but it is different result for Trabzonspor that are trail by 1 goal to Ferencvoras with a red card to one of their players.

I'm waiting for the Benfica and Aarhus match that will be kicking off in the next minutes. With Benfica at home that is an advantage, so winning the match is largely in their favour except that the visitors decides to surprise us tonight.

Beşiktaş has gained a significant advantage in their bid to compete in the UEFA Europa League, having defeated Kauno Žalgiris 3–0 in the first leg. Rıdvan Yılmaz played a fantastic game in this match.

Meanwhile, Trabzonspor lost 0–1 at home to Ferencváros and will likely be eliminated from the UEFA Europa League.
It looks very likely that Trabzonspor will end up competing in the Conference League instead. I was not impressed with Trabzonspor at all.
The players seemed exhausted. Nwaiwu received a red card in the final minute.
I had watched this player in friendly matches as well and didn't like his performance then either; he either scored an own goal or conceded a penalty. Today, he got a red card. With only seconds left in the match, he made a rough tackle on an opponent and was sent off.

Let me share an interesting statistic about the match: Trabzonspor committed only 3 fouls throughout the game, whereas Ferencváros committed 24.
I have never seen a statistic like that before.

Just as you said, Beşiktaş is the superior team in this match and they did exactly what was expected of them by trashing their opponent FK Kauno Zalgiris by a score of 3:0. I don't think that Beşiktaş signed many players as Fenerbahçe did but they are performing more better than the teams that finished 1st, 2nd and 3rd position last season. From the impressions that Beşiktaş has created so far, they will go far this season and if possible they can even go as far as winning a trophy unless they begin to decline in performance but if they continue with this pace am seeing now, they will become one of the formidable teams that nobody thought they will go far.

They have become a team that has made a name for itself in Turkey by signing good players. The signing of Mohamed Salah, in particular, has made Trabzonspor even more recognizable in Europe.

Is Mohammed salah actually going to perform as predicted in Trabzonspor?, I no this is his second important appearance in the club but the absence of goals is actually making me wonder especially this match because Trabzonspor possession should have created the opportunity for him but unfortunately Ferencvaros have won them 1:0 at home, so actually if the club lost Europa League qualification people will start being disappointed in Mohammed salah because there was a lot of hype before his arrival in the club so we were thinking his scoring start from their first match, however they have one more match to get back on the qualification. Perhaps since full time did not work for Tekke in using Salah on Ferencvaros he should bring him next time on the second half if it could break Ferencvaros.

[kizilhare]

Six official matches played, and zero goals conceded.
Beşiktaş defeated Kauno Žalgiris 3–0 today and once again kept a clean sheet.
I wonder who will be the first to score against Beşiktaş.
I should also mention that I didn't expect Kauno to score today.
There is a 99% chance Beşiktaş will qualify for the UEFA Europa League, though there is a slight possibility they could drop down to the Conference League.

In the other match of interest to us, Trabzonspor lost 1–0 at home to Ferencváros. It came as a surprise to me. I was very impressed by Bamidele Yusuf of Ferencváros; their manager substituted him off in the 61st minute. Up until that point, he had really troubled the Trabzonspor defense.
He is only 25 years old. In the first half, he gave Onana a really hard time in one particular situation. I really liked Yusuf; I’ll be watching him with a keener eye in the next match.

[mandown]

Kauno is so weak that they didn't create a single scoring chance during the match.
Beşiktaş won the game 3–0, but the scoreline could easily have been 5–0. The first goal Kauno conceded was entirely the goalkeeper's fault; Svetkauskas failed to stop a routine header, making a major error on the play.
This match marked Vlahovic's first appearance in front of the home crowd; he executed an effective header during the game, but Svetkauskas managed to save it.
It is no coincidence that Beşiktaş has not conceded a goal so far; the team is defending exceptionally well as a unit.

Beşiktaş played good football, though the fact that their opponents were very weak played a role in that.
Since I was watching the Trabzonspor match, I didn't get a chance to watch the Beşiktaş game, as both matches kicked off at the same time.
Rıdvan's assists came from crosses. The first goal resulted from a goalkeeping error. For the second goal, Rıdvan (left-back) delivered the cross, and Murillo (right-back) scored.
Vlahović came on in the 60th minute. He might play in the second half of the match this weekend.
He scored today. He will likely be in the starting lineup this weekend as well.
In my opinion, Beşiktaş has all but secured their spot in the next round.
I expect Beşiktaş to win the second leg as well.

I watched the Trabzonspor match. I didn't like the refereeing at all; he allowed Ferencváros to play a very rough game.
I wasn't impressed with Trabzonspor either. Although manager Fatih Tekke said after the match that he was pleased with the team, I certainly wasn't. We should have won this match.

And at the end it was a tough game where  Ferencvaros defeated Trabzonspor by a lone goal by Zachariassem.
I wasn’t expecting this at all, Trabzonspor have been playing strong and with their recent signing of Mohammed Salah to the squad and with their towering striker available. I expected a favourable outcome for them but football being football decided to harm my prediction on this game. Maybe the red card had something to do with their performance or not.😏

Trabzonspor played at home and we’re still defeated now they’ll have a bigger task when they go over to Ferencvaros’s home for the second leg.
I hope then they’ll be better prepared for this match.

Alot of actions today in the Europa league as different teams fights, to get a place in the group stages of the compebecause I was impressed by the performances of the teams because there was a lot of actions and the standards of the games were very high.

Looking at the goal scoring ratio, it is very impressive because a lot of goals were scored. There was only two draws that were recorded which only tells about how serious teams are in wanting to qualify for the group stages of the competition. One thing that I have noticed about these qualification rounds is that, smaller teams which is from these so call leagues that are not too fancied try to impress.

I don't see Kauno Zalgiris turning round this result come next week. Besiktas knows what is at stake , I see them making it to the group stages a don't see Kauno Zalgiris a team from the Lithuanian.

[CLS63]

Beşiktaş had a really dominant night. Vincenzo Italiano has made such a big impact in a short time which surprised me. Not because I don't like his management as he is a quality manager.

He didn't have a history of managing a team from our league. Beşiktaş fans had better know his value. They haven't still lost even once after 6 matches.

Lastly, what a bad result by Trabzonspor! Having Salah in your team isn't enough as long as you don't have a solid game plan.

[blomen]

i’m reading what some fans in trabzon are writing criticizing salah, but isn’t it too early for that? the guy has only played two games, and the rest of trabzonspor isn’t exactly a fantastic team either. i think he needs more time to adjust. not everyone can start playing well right away.

on the other hand, beşiktaş secured a solid victory. it was clear from the very start of the game that they’d have an easy time of it. beşiktaş was already the clear favorite, and we saw that play out in the match. we can say the round is theirs.
