UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

[SquallLeonhart]

You do not see who will win the title during the group stages, this was true back when groups were just four team groups and all that, this is true right now as well, it is not going to happen to be true and we are not going to see it. I have a feeling that we may actually see these UEFA competitions become some league structure fully as well, not like they will be playing just 8 games, but literally play against each other, all season long, that could be very fun, then the end could be top 8 teams going for playoffs, that would be very fun, in that case maybe we will see something before the group stages end.

But at the moment, it makes no sense to say that we are going to see teams which are playing great now, will end up winning as well. You do not end up seeing teams who will win just be good at group stages, they could be awesome at group stages and then have one bad game and be gone, that's why we need to wait and see who faces who before we decide anything.

I agree with you that Europa League is unpredictable and one will hardly predict the right club to win the league. Most clubs that people thought will put their minds on, end up in a big disappointment. It's is close to the semifinals that one would be able to know the right club that's capable of winning the league.

Apart from it being a bit difficult to determine which team will be able to win the trophy in Europa League, the team that will enter the final is also difficult to determine because here usually the teams that are not so competitive in the domestic League can be quite competitive in Europa League so that it can make it difficult for everyone to make their predictions. Now everyone just needs to see how each team tries to put themselves in a much better position in the standings so that they can have a chance to qualify for the next round.

Now everyone just needs to see how each team tries to put themselves in a much better position in the standings so that they can have a chance to qualify for the next round.

The European League every season is always difficult to predict. Because even though there are always many strong teams that are favorites, in the end, more teams that we never expected to win the title actually won the title. For example, Atalanta last season. even though last season Liverpool was also in the European League. But yeah, Liverpool actually lost to Atalanta in the quarter-finals. And this season, the new format makes everything even more difficult for us to guess. Lazio temporarily looks the most solid. But we don't know whether it will survive until the end or not.

Although Tottenham's recent performances have been impressive, including eliminating Manchester City in the EFL Cup and also defeating them in the English Premier League, it doesn't guarantee them any trophy this season. It takes more than just than just strong performance to secure silverware.

On the other hand, I believe Manchester United has what it takes to maintain a strong position in the UEFA Europa league this season, regardless of whether they are been coached by a new manager. Considering the technical ability of their coach and his proven track record at Sporting, he appears capable of leading them to success in the UEFA Europa league, no matter the challenges they face.

Honestly the only cups they could win would be EFL or FA or Europa. They are not going to get premier league, that is not possible and we are not going to see them suddenly go on a 20 winning streak season, that's not how it works at all and shouldn't be an issue at all. We are going to see how they will do in other ones, Europa seems like it's quite unlikely and we are not going to see that be great.

The schedule English teams have is a lot, they play in four different competitions, and with that in mind, even though some of them are less games, it's still games and they go on with 2 games a week for a very long time and that's not an easy feat at all. Tottenham could just end up being tired by the end and fail to win any of them, which they have done before so it wouldn't really be a shocker for them. I am expecting them to do fine this season and maybe get one cup, it would be a first and I believe that will definitely make them quite happy as well.

Almost every season of Europa League is like that, there are so many surprises that happen here and quite a lot of favored teams are actually eliminated first, and that will also apply for now so I think there is no team that has a big percentage to win the Europa League title this season, as well as for Lazio I don't think they will be favored even though so far Lazio continues to show its best performance and even what Lazio has shown in all competitions is quite a significant improvement compared to last season.

Will Roma make it to the playoffs?

Roma currently in not a safe position and they will meet Tottenham, which I think high unlikely they will beat Tottenham.

However, the teams below Roma rank also unlikely to win.

Real Sociedad vs Ajax, Ajax likely to win.
Braga vs Hoffenheim, Hoffenheim looks strong recently.
FC Twente vs Union St.Gilloise, FC Twente might able to get at least one point.
Nice vs Rangers, Nice might win.

There's need 4 teams to kick Roma to not reach top 24 position, but what I listed above, only two teams are possible to win.

It's difficult to achieve the Sir Alex Ferguson era and maybe there is little chance for other coaches to be able to achieve what he gave to Manchester United. Fans and management must expect a new era for the club's success but so far no coach has been able to provide that. Amorim is expected to be able to bring about much more significant changes and maybe be able to provide better results with his hard work. I'm not that optimistic but he needs to be given a chance because changing a team to be better is not an easy job.

The opportunity has indeed been given to Amorim this season although the fans also do not need to expect more from Amorim because he also needs to get used to the current Premier League and also with the players who are already in the team so it is true as you said that changing a team that was once slumped is indeed not an easy job for anyone, especially if the team is in a fairly fierce League like the Premier League. Besides that I also think that Manchester United fans do not have to expect an era like Sir Alex Ferguson to be repeated at Manchester United because now the era is very different and many previous generations of players have retired at this time.

Manchester United’s legendary period is very hard to repeat. Because they had the best players in every position from goalkeeper to forward. Young Cristiano Ronaldo was also effective in this. Other important players of Manchester United were Scholes, Giggs, Van der Sar, Van Nistelrooy, Rooney. It is not very likely that they will be able to form a similar squad again. However, fans still want to watch a Manchester United that will play in the top ranks of the Premier League.

Manchester United was once a traditional team in Premier League and they had good players in every position but they can't hold their place now. 
In the last few years something bad has happened with Manchester United and in these few years Manchester United could not do anything good be it in the Premier League or the Champions League. During this period, the team changed ownership several times, the team manager changed and a lot of money was spent on the team, but the performance did not improve much. Recently Manchester United sacked their former manager and appointed a new manager to improve their performance. Naturally, this manager is now the most trusted by Manchester United. Let's see if this manager can pay a price worthy of that trust. But the important thing here is whether the current manager of Manchester United will get full financial freedom from Manchester United management? 
If he is given financial freedom then I believe he can change the situation of the team by bringing in the players according to the plan.

Usually clubs that are not too favored in the European League from the beginning are able to provide a surprise at the end, initially these clubs were not so glanced at in the European League and most people favored the Premier League clubs to win the UEL title but in fact the Premier League clubs are not as good as these clubs in the matches they have played so far, if we remember last season Liverpool was very favored to win the title in the UEL but they couldn't even survive until the final, and finally underdog club won the UEL title last season, in the UEL sometimes the winner is not the club that was favored from the beginning.

If you want to favor a club in UEL then I think a club from La Liga is a better choice. We know Sevilla is the king of UEL with seven trophies. And usually UEL can give a surprise where the underdog team can beat the top team. But if you look at the UEL final match I think the team that wins UEL is still a team that is in the top 5 European leagues including the English league. I still favor several clubs that will be the UEL champion this season such as Lazio, Bilbao, Lyon, Ajax, Galatasaray or Tottenham. And I never think that underdog teams like Braga, Twente, Qarabag, or Slavia Praha can be champions.

If we have Madrid as the ruler of the UCL so far then Sevilla is very worthy of being said to be the king of the UEL, Sevilla is one of the teams that has an extraordinary journey and glory in the UEL so seeing them absent in the UEL this season is a sad thing, but to favorite the Spanish club as the champion this season based on the glory of Sevilla is not logical,  Considering the poor performance shown by the La Liga team in UEL this season, to be honest, if you look at the current team opportunities Lazio, Tottenham and Ajax in my opinion deserve to be favorites, because we are not here talking about Sevilla glory from La Liga as a reference for favoring Bilbao and Sociedad to become champions, because I think performance, the quality of the squad and consistency are the main factors that we should pay attention before favor a team.

I am expecting them to do fine this season and maybe get one cup, it would be a first and I believe that will definitely make them quite happy as well.

Don't forget that it's not only English clubs that are in European competitions other league clubs are also involved, and the fact is that English teams are not much compared to Italian teams and Laliga because their performance last season was very impressive. I don't see too much stress or the players, neither are they over working themselves because that is their profession, and they love it. All other clubs in various leagues are also passing through the same tight match schedules but it shouldn't be an excuse for a weak performance, because that's what we can use to determine the strongest.

Recently i have checked upcoming schedules for Roma and after Tottenham they will facing Braga, AZ Alkmaar and Frankfurt and compared to between these teams probably Braga is the easiest team who possibly can beated by Roma but Roma has just changing the manager and i am not sure Ranieri can able to bringing Roma to performing well again in the short term and in my opinion rather than thinking about Europa League i think Roma should be more focus to Serie A and improved their position on League standings and i think this is much better for them because i have to says Roma chances even to finish at play off stages is a bit difficult considering they still unable to performing stable

[Hvdv]

I will not rule out ajax and lazio even though the English league clubs are more favored. I am happy to see every appearance of them in the europa league this season I hope they can go further and maintain their consistency which has been going very well. On the other hand galatasaray also cannot be underestimated since the arrival of osimhen they are more aggressive but I still doubt whether they will be able to survive long in this competition.

The three teams you mentioned are teams that are already in a very good position in the Europa League standings this season after they have played four matches in the Europa League, meaning that the three teams will definitely continue to try to survive longer in the Europa League this season because they also want to advance to the next round after playing eight matches in this round. Lazio is a team that has found a better way of playing this season so that Lazio is not only able to compete in the Europa League, but is also able to compete fiercely in its own domestic league this season.

Usually clubs that are not too favored in the European League from the beginning are able to provide a surprise at the end, initially these clubs were not so glanced at in the European League and most people favored the Premier League clubs to win the UEL title but in fact the Premier League clubs are not as good as these clubs in the matches they have played so far, if we remember last season Liverpool was very favored to win the title in the UEL but they couldn't even survive until the final, and finally underdog club won the UEL title last season, in the UEL sometimes the winner is not the club that was favored from the beginning.

It would be unfair to call Atalanta, who won the Europa League, weak. Atalanta is a very strong team. They also defeated Bayer Leverkusen, who only lost once last year and that defeat was also against Atalanta, in the final. They also won this match with a clear score of 3-0. Lookman put on a show in that match. It would be very unfair to call Atalanta weak. Yes, Premier League teams are shown as favorites for the championship, but we have to say that teams like Atalanta continue to have a chance to win the Europa League. My surprise favorite this year is Galatasaray.

At least, AS Roma only need to be in the top 25 because then, AS Roma will enter the play offs but it is still difficult for AS Roma with the situation and conditions that have not improved like this. But at least, Ranieri may be said to be still quite lucky, because he does not have to work hard to make AS Roma enter the top 25,b ecause AS Roma is already in the top 25. Thus, Ranieri should  still be able to make AS Roma enter the play offs,although the chance for AS Roma to qualify and advance further remains difficult. But at least, Ranieri still has to make his best  efforts to be able to make AS Roma back into a great team in Serie A and also in the Europa League with the fast  recovery needed.

It has been a terrible start to the season for AS Roma. They are also playing very badly in the Italian league. They also fell short of expectations in the Europa League. When Roma is mentioned, everyone thinks of the old Roma, full of success. However, Roma is far from their old performance today. They changed their manager and Ranieri is trying to pull them together a bit. I think they can stay in the Europa League in the Play-offs. The opponent they will face in the Play-offs is very important. If they beat that opponent, we will see which team will come in the top eight. Roma will find themselves in time. They are a team that can also advance to the upper rounds in the Europa League.

Which cup will Tottenham win by the end of this season? Will it be the Premier League (which I doubt), the EFL Cup, or the Europa League? It's been a long time since Tottenham lifted any of these trophies. I agree that they may become tired which could prevent them from winning any trophy this season, despite their impressive victories over Manchester City in both EFL and Premier League matches. However, Tottenham has a home match in the Europa League against Roma in two days. I anticipate a win for them, which would help them secure a spot in the 3rd to 5th place in the Europa League table, depending on the results of other teams ahead of them.

But the important thing here is whether the current manager of Manchester United will get full financial freedom from Manchester United management? 
If he is given financial freedom then I believe he can change the situation of the team by bringing in the players according to the plan.

Mismanagement could take any team to lower levels, the only reason why United isn't relegated like other mismanaged teams is because they make way too much money, and that means they are capable of getting players which are bad, but not bad enough to relegate. They are spending title winners amount of money, but they are staying at midtable at the very best case, this season doing even worse.

So I am assuming that it won't be really that great for them, seems like it could change a lot on the long run, and I do not think that we should be considering them doing all that kind differently after this change. Amorim will probably try his best to win Europa at least, because he knows he can't do all that great at premier league, but it won't be easy.

At least, AS Roma only need to be in the top 25 because then, AS Roma will enter the play offs but it is still difficult for AS Roma with the situation and conditions that have not improved like this. But at least, Ranieri may be said to be still quite lucky, because he does not have to work hard to make AS Roma enter the top 25,b ecause AS Roma is already in the top 25.

But at least, Ranieri still has to make his best  efforts to be able to make AS Roma back into a great team in Serie A and also in the Europa League with the fast  recovery needed.

Top 25? What did I miss? It is the same mode as the Champions League is being played, which means they either make it into 9th - 24th or the top 8 or otherwise they would be eliminated. It is 24 clubs which get the chance to move onto the next round. At the moment they are 20th with not the best score difference and they are only 1 point ahead of the ranks that do not get promoted to the play-offs. I wouldn't be too positive for them as they are not playing too well.

I don't think they will win anything against Tottenham, which throws them further back and then no easy game is waiting for them. Last game will be against the 2nd from the Bundesliga and they have another game away from home, everything is possible and I do not exclude the option that they will the most altogether.



If this doesn't look frightening to you, then what does? It is not looking for them given that the next game is Tottenham Hotspurs. It will harm their score difference and it will put them out of the safe zone. If they can make something happen, it could be a draw at best, but they won't win the game.

[MK-74]

I hope tomorrow will be a good day for us. There will be a match between 3 teams representing our country.
Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş. I hope they all win tomorrow night.

Galatasaray match will be good, I think there will be a lot of goals.

I don't think it will be an easy match for Fenerbahçe.

Beşiktaş's opponent is weak, I hope they win easily.

[Plaguedeath]

We will watch a big match between Manchester United vs Bodø/Glimt, why I said it's a big match? because we don't even know what the results.

Even Bodø/Glimt had a terrible results, but they're not completely lose because they dominated the ball possession, shots on target and expected goals. They're also at top 1 position in Eliteserien.

While Manchester United was struggle to beat Ipswich Town, so they're not that good.

I speculate it will end in draw.

My surprise favorite this year is Galatasaray.

I'm not saying Atalanta is a weak club but I'm saying that usually the club that is favored from the start cannot perform as expected (Liverpool and Leverkusen) in many posts last season many people talked about Leverkusen and Liverpool and not many talked about Atalanta but in the end this club was able to give a surprise by beating Liverpool but even though they were able to beat Liverpool many people still favored Leverkusen to win the Europa League title because this club has created many wins compared to Atalanta in its domestic league but in reality many people made the wrong predictions.

[SmartCharpa]

I agree with you that Europa League is unpredictable and one will hardly predict the right club to win the league. Most clubs that people thought will put their minds on, end up in a big disappointment. It's is close to the semifinals that one would be able to know the right club that's capable of winning the league.

If a team from a hidden league wins the Europa League championship this season, I would not be shocked since, unlike the Champions League, it is very difficult for anyone to predict which team will win. Even last season, nobody expected Atalanta to win the title defeating Bayer Leverkusen, who went undefeated throughout the tournament before losing to Atalanta in the final. This season, we have a lot of teams doing well in the competition, right now, I'm just interested in the teams that will move to the next round. Maybe Manchester United will make it too.

I think Manchester United will definitely be making one or two signings during the January transfer window in other to help the club new manager Ruben Amorim balance the squad but even without the arrival of a new player, I think Manchester United team is star-studded already and can be able to challenge in the biggest competitions. Ruben Amorim have only overseen one game with the team while also trying to establish his own style and in coming games, I expect the Manchester United players to get familiar with the new manager's style so they can get back to winning ways

The Manchester United players had a hard time understanding Amorim's style of play after their last game, and I believe they needed to adjust to it in order to win their game. Every manager has his style, so they shouldn't expect Amorim to stick to Ten Hag's strategy. Since that was their first game using the Amorim method, I'm confident they'll become used to it. However, I'm hoping the management will sign more players for Amorim during the January transfer.
