UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[imamusma]

There is no doubt about this Brighton done good job and beats Ajax at home but in next round which is going to play at Amsterdam things can change with Ajax can fight back and have win which will bring them back into competition for the qualification into next round as well Brighton have to play away games and Ajax having advantage to play few games at home can change the fortune for them.

Brighton is also having problems in domestic league, but they are still doing good in both and their performance giving them good chance for having better results in coming matches as well Ajax needs to work on their strategy and Brighton is also surely having problems in last few matches which is also needed to be fixed before it's too late.

Overall, Brighton has a great chance of qualifying from the Europa League group phase, but of course De Zerbi must improve his players motivation and mentality to be even better to secure a slot for his team. The match on matchday four will bring them together again with Ajax, I don't think there will be any significant difficulties because the Dutch representatives are in very bad condition, and of course this is very beneficial for Brighton to get the three points again.

On the other hand, Marsielle will face AEK Athens, if the Greek representative loses again then Brighton will be very profitable. Even though this is just a scenario, it makes sense if you look at the condition of the teams in their respective leagues.

I dont make so much analisys in the Europa League because for me Europa League starts when the UCL teams falls into Europa league in the 16 round, you can be the best team in Europa LEague but for some bad luck you have to face a top team from UCL and you can be out .

Not all outcast teams from the UCL are challengers in the Europa League, some of them may have to be wary of teams in the Europa League. I see that Liverpool and Leverkusen can be killers of other teams, both of them always appear consistently in the Europa League and their respective local leagues. Luck was not on their side last season as they failed to finish in the UCL zone, their performance this season is on par with the top UCL teams. I prefer Liverpool and Leverkusen to appear in the Europa League Final because their quality really deserves to be in the final.

This season, unlike previous seasons. In the group phase, the competing teams do not attract much attention for us in the community. So, it's very natural for you to say that. because so far, there are only two teams that have progressed consistently in both the European League and the Domestic League. none other than, Liverpool and Leverkusen who are in a situation that can be said to be on fire, especially in this competition.

However, I agree with what you said. because however, the teams that drop out of the Champions League group phase will add excitement to the competition for trophies this season. However, there are still a few more rounds until we know which teams will enter the Europa League playoffs. So, at least we have to wait. Even then, if the teams that slipped in the Champions League competition qualify in the group phase of the playoffs. anyway, we don't know for sure. For example, when Barcelona was defeated by United, even though Barca was predicted to be the toughest competitor. So, let's just wait and see how exciting this Europa League competition will be.

The thing that im sure if there will be a strong club to come from the group F of UCL. We can expect one team between newcastle or dortmund will be going to the europa league very soon. We are being even closer last match day.
We will see what club that will be joining in the europa league competition. This will also add more excitements by supporters to watch it. I hope that liverpool will be getting a strong team as its opponent.
Im thinking about liverpool needs also to get a worthy opponent too. It will also add more hype to the europa league match. People were not seeing this as a serious competition caused by it has far low quality compared with the UCL

I think that the scheme of europa league shall be changed to add more excitment from the football fans at this moment. People were being so excited with UCl caused by there were many big clubs participated in the UCL.
The current scheme was good but people are losing their interest once there was no a lot of clubs with big fanbase.

However, in terms of quality, Brighton is better so I think the away match will not have a big influence. If we look at Brighton's journey since the start of this season they have continued to improve in quality so I have no doubt that Brighton can face 3 more matches in the remaining group phase matches to be able to qualify from group phase, quality-wise I think Brighton is very worthy.
Now Brighton is in 3rd place in Group B with 4 points, only 1 point different from Marseille who is in first place.

Brighton is an average team with the Europa this season and I have no doubts about them qualifying from the group stage although they have not had much wins, they have had just one win and one loss and one draw but they have also been average in the premier league.

But Brighton and Athen are sharing the same point but I think goal difference is what is keeping them apart, if Brighton wins their next Europa match they are definitely moving to the second position on the league table, if we have to compare all the teams In the same group with Brighton I think Marseille is the only team that may match their strength so hopefully they will get better and definitely qualify.

Topping Group B will not be easy for Brighton. Because Group B has Renowned teams like Marseille and Ajax. Ajax's performance is quite poor now. Ajax and Athens may not be able to prevent Brighton from reaching the top of the table. Brighton's main clash will be against Marseille. The team in Marseille is not weak. They are unbeaten so far. Top of the table to get 5 points from 3 matches. Brighton will need to win every match if they want to regain the top spot in the table. Brighton have the ability to win all their next three matches to stay at the top of the points table.

[emrecemsan]

When it comes to the Brighton topic I just want to say that they can be much more successful than this in the Europa League. They are technically one of the strongest teams in the competition right now. Their squad and the game quality they have in the Premier League must be enough for them to be competitive in the Europa League as well.

However this isn't the case now. Instead they started the group stage disappointingly. However I really liked what I saw in their Ajax match. They were purely dominant especially in the first half and they gave some hope to me with that performance. But I wonder if they can be consistent on it. I think they should take this competition more seriously because they can easily be one of the big title contenders.  

[Mame89]

If you realize, Ajax in this season is very devastated because after all, in Eredivisie the fact is that Ajax is at the bottom of the table at the moment. So yes, it is also not surprising if at this moment Ajax is a team that is at the bottom of the table also in the Europa League in group B.

Ajax this season is very tragic, Ajax is experiencing a bad period, the league is at the bottom of the rankings and in Europe it is certain that it will remain at the bottom of the rankings. But I don't want to say that Ajax was destroyed because I remember Juve who fell to series B but then they survived again and dominated series A again. Ajax after all is a large entity, it will not be destroyed that easily. I hope they recover soon.

Thus, then of course Brighton can maximize this moment to be able to finish in second place or maybe, for the group winner. Because after all, their points achievement is also still very close, Marseille has 5 points, AEK and Brighton both have 4 points at the moment. With points like that, then of course Brighton still has a very good chance to qualify and to go further in the knockout phase later, I believe Brighton has a pretty good chance here.

I also have confidence that Brighton and Marseille will advance to the next stage if we look at the squad of players among the four teams in this group.

I see that Liverpool and Leverkusen can be killers of other teams, both of them always appear consistently in the Europa League and their respective local leagues. Luck was not on their side last season as they failed to finish in the UCL zone, their performance this season is on par with the top UCL teams. I prefer Liverpool and Leverkusen to appear in the Europa League Final because their quality really deserves to be in the final.

There are several clubs from Italy who are quite consistent in the Europa League, namely Atalanta and As Roma, although As Roma this season is still hampered by being in the middle of the local league with 4 wins and 4 defeats. Not yet very consistent in the local league, I'm sure these 2 Italian clubs will be a problem in the last 16 of the Europa League, because I see AS Roma and Atlanta competing quite well in the Europa League for now. And they only focus on the local and European leagues.

The current scheme was good but people are losing their interest once there was no a lot of clubs with big fanbase.

My guess is that Newcastle or AC Milan will stop in this competition, but that doesn't rule out the possibility of Dortmund dropping out of the Champions League and joining the Europa League competition. What is certain is that the Group F phase of the Champions League is still unclear for predictions. However, if Dortmund or Newcastle are ultimately involved in this competition. Looks like the competition will be a little more exciting. Apart from that, United also has the potential to drop out of the Champions League and end up competing in the Europa League. Sevilla, Lens, Benfica, Lazio, can add excitement to this competition. Thus, there are several competitors who have the potential to overthrow Liverpool and Leverkusen.

But actually we cannot exclude several teams involved in the group phase of this League. for example, AS Roma, they got perfect points in their 3 matches. even though the performance in Serie A is not that good. Marseille, which is currently led by Gatuttso with his offensive system style. at least, better than under Marselino's leadership. As for Liverpool and even Leverkusen, we have reviewed it many times. So, this time I won't discuss it.
referring to the last point, it is clear that this is the case. because those joining the Champions League competition are teams that are at least ranked in the top four. So, public enthusiasm will be focused on the highest competition compared to other leagues. but nevertheless, the Europa League has its own charm and a different atmosphere. In fact, teams that fail in the Champions League still have the opportunity to compete in this League and win other trophies that they can fight for.

Ajax has been not so great since their last golden generation. They went as far as semi-finals of UCL if I am not wrong, and from manager to players all of those players were amazing that year, they achieved so much and did so great, definitely was a golden generation. However, looking at it right now, I feel like it is not the same and we can't really assume that it would be anything similar that easily neither.

I think we need to agree that we are not going to end up with a situation that should be all that easy, we need to arrange something that would be a lot harder to handle. I know that it is not that easy to handle it, but that's just the fact that Ajax is no longer that team anymore. They may keep on getting worse results.

At the group stage, Liverpool and Laverkusen are two teams that really deserve to be favorites, their performance is also very consistent in their respective leagues. Maybe the list of favorite clubs will increase when the teams that failed from the UCL will enter the Europa League, and if Sevilla plays here then I think they also really deserve to be favorites.

Besides that, Roma is in unstable form in Serie A, and they are showing a different performance here, and I see that Atalanta also has a chance to go further this time. Roma will benefit from the figure of Mourinho who will have a big influence on the squad mentality. I hope that the two Italian representatives can talk a lot this time in the Europa League.

The results Roma is achieving in the Europa League group a clearly different from what they are doing in their domestic league, but I would never consider them a favorite for the Europa League title as that is still not enough. Yes Sevilla was in a similar set up last season and performed badly in the league while doing well internationally, but Roma doesn't play well. I have seen some of their matches now and this is not a team that can beat some of the strongest contenders in this competition. It is not like they seem to be able to improve their performance by a lot when necessary. On some days what they are doing is just enough and most of the time they don't fail. I am still missing a strong game that allows for some hope for constantly increased performances.

[tiCeR]

The bad news for Brighton is that they have two games away from home and they also have a game that is not to be underestimated against Ajax. For Ajax this game means a lot despite their bad situation in the Eredivisie. It is also about pleasing the club and their supporters. Winning this game against Brighton would mean some light at the end of the tunnel because it would also mean that they still can do it all and also win against strong opponents from the Premier League. If Brighton does not lose the game against them, it is still a good position for them. But this is still a but until the game has been played. Brighton's inconsistency definitely did not go unnoticed in Amsterdam.

However, in terms of quality, Brighton is better so I think the away match will not have a big influence. If we look at Brighton's journey since the start of this season they have continued to improve in quality so I have no doubt that Brighton can face 3 more matches in the remaining group phase matches to be able to qualify from group phase, quality-wise I think Brighton is very worthy.
Now Brighton is in 3rd place in Group B with 4 points, only 1 point different from Marseille who is in first place.

Away games always make a huge difference and that applies to games in the Europa League and Champions League much more than it does to games in the respective national leagues. The fan support of the home teams is overwhelmingly stronger because of all the travel aches and strains, depending on how far the fans would have to go of course. I also think that the quota for tickets available to international fans is relatively low? I could be wrong on this one, but I think for games in the domestic leagues the quota for the opponent's fans is higher than it is for games in the Europa League.

If we only look at the tables, one could think that the game against Ajax should be an easy one for Brighton, but I am far from thinking that way. It is still Ajax Amsterdam in their own stadium and that always means hard work to do for any opponent.

I don't see the win against ajax as a big deal, although they were able to dominate all through and did perform brilliantly but for a team currently as weak as ajax is now, winning them in the Europa shouldn't be seen as any big because ajax is really weak even in their domestic league.

Brighton is no doubt a good team this season and could be considered a good contender for the title this season but ahead of them are Leverkusen and Liverpool who are really taking the league title really seriously so if Brighton must have a chance they will be able to beat these two which I don't see as really possible at this time because these two teams are in their best of forms currently.

Of course, matches at home will be superior in facing every difficult match, whether in the domestic league, European league or Champions League, but matches at home are not a benchmark if you don't have a strong and capable squad depth. We all know that the Premier League is a collection of clubs. which is quite difficult to beat, indeed this match is very meaningful for Ajax, but if you look at it in terms of performance, I think Brighton performance is much better when compared to Ajax in terms of squad, although Ajax will play at home, but that wasn't enough for him to win against Brighton but it is possible that Ajax will maximize the draw.

[Strongkored]

I think Brighton performance is much better when compared to Ajax in terms of squad, although Ajax will play at home, but that wasn't enough for him to win against Brighton but it is possible that Ajax will maximize the draw.

Yes, you are right, sometimes as a home team it doesn't really matter when there is quite a big difference between the two teams in terms of strength and performance in that season, and as you said, there is a big difference in terms of performance between Ajax and Brighton, so it looks like Brighton won't face any problems when against Ajax and the betting market predicts the same thing by placing the away team as favorites to win the match in the middle of next week.
However, sometimes there are still doubts about Brighton because this season, at least in the local league, they lost by a landslide score, and also in the European league, in the first match, they lost at home against AEK Athens, so Brighton is not that strong, in my opinion, there is even a chance of a surprise happening in this match.

I know that it is not that easy to handle it, but that's just the fact that Ajax is no longer that team anymore. They may keep on getting worse results.

I completely agree about this all with their recent few big blunders bring them down badly while they sell their quality players to Manchester United which is also having nothing good and struggling but deals after selling Ten Hag to them and having huge funds for the players create mess-up, and they are surely needed to overhaul things before this gone into no way for return.

At the bottom of the Dutch League and same performance in UEFA Europa Cup after three matches even they have chance at home against Brighton but for the win and improved spot need positive mind and better performance which are not near them.

If we have no change into their performance in near future then surely we can face consequences which are never been ideal even most of the members are agreed they can bounce back because still they are one of the best in available sources in this league.

I am still missing a strong game that allows for some hope for constantly increased performances.

Current poor performance from the AS Roma in Serie A is having confusion but still peoples are ignoring their impressive run in last two years which they achieved in UEFA competitions, and they can do this again as well because we all know how things works in this event mostly teams which are having poor run into domestics league can go through for the best in this competition like Sevilla achieve and Roma can also do same even mostly feeling Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen are the best in current season.

But, as we have lost for the Arsenal and Manchester United can happen again because things can take any change without any problem so giving no honor to Roma for the title is not fair even still it's a long way to go, and we have few teams from Champions League as well in coming days from here any team can go through and things can be gone good for the Italian side as well which is surely having rich history in UEFA events.

[Litzki1990]

I dont make so much analisys in the Europa League because for me Europa League starts when the UCL teams falls into Europa league in the 16 round, you can be the best team in Europa LEague but for some bad luck you have to face a top team from UCL and you can be out .

Not all outcast teams from the UCL are challengers in the Europa League, some of them may have to be wary of teams in the Europa League. I see that Liverpool and Leverkusen can be killers of other teams, both of them always appear consistently in the Europa League and their respective local leagues. Luck was not on their side last season as they failed to finish in the UCL zone, their performance this season is on par with the top UCL teams. I prefer Liverpool and Leverkusen to appear in the Europa League Final because their quality really deserves to be in the final.

Leverkusen, and Liverpool's Europa League qualification has been a problem for other teams. Liverpool is always a champion league team and Liverpool is also a strong team in English Premier League but they have qualified for Europa League this season so it is a bit difficult for other Europa League teams to plan against Liverpool. Leverkusen, and Liverpool may qualify for the Champions League next season but the other teams will miss out on winning the Europa League this season as either Liverpool won the Europa League trophy this season or Leverkusen does. Comparing the two teams, I see Liverpool more likely to win the Europa League tournament title this season.

[yudi09]

At the group stage, Liverpool and Laverkusen are two teams that really deserve to be favorites, their performance is also very consistent in their respective leagues. Maybe the list of favorite clubs will increase when the teams that failed from the UCL will enter the Europa League, and if Sevilla plays here then I think they also really deserve to be favorites.

Sevilla is in third place in Group B in the Champions League with 2 points even though they still have 3 matches left. Maybe Sevilla will no longer be serious there and try to stay in 3rd place so they can go down to the Europa League.
Liverpool are not too worried about the opponents they will face, including Sevilla. Sevilla's strength is not as good as Liverpool and Bayern Leverkusen at the moment.
Talking about Sevilla as if they will easily win the Europa League again if they fail to qualify from the group in the Champions League.
