UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

[DanWalker]

Galatasaray will play against Malmo. Malmo is a team that has lost 4 out of 5 matches in the Europa League and won 1 match. This team has conceded 10 goals in 5 matches. Will it be difficult for Galatasaray to win against such a team? I don't think so.

Galatasaray is a strong team. And I would say that Galatasaray is not dependent on any specific player. Baris Yilmaz and Icardi will not be present in this match due to injuries. Even so, Galatasaray is a strong team. I believe that Galatasaray can easily win against a team like Malmo.

Galatasaray will win against Malmo in this match in the previous 5 matches. Malmo lost 4 matches while Galatasaray has a good accumulation in the Europa League. When the match started, I favored Galatasaray, it would be easier against Malmo than other teams in the Europa League.

However, I was a little worried that Galatasaray lost two key players, Baris Yilmaz and Icardi, but that was not an obstacle to winning the match later.

Tomorrow Galatasaray will play against Malmo. We know that Malmo team is relatively weak. This team is not very well known. I have not even seen any match of this team before. We have not seen Malmo's good performance in the Europa League matches. So even though Galatasaray's squad will not have two important players from their squad in the next match, Galatasaray's chances of winning this match are high. Galatasaray's overall performance is stable. Moreover, Osimhen will be with the squad. Osimhen has scored 3 goals and one assist in 4 matches of the Europa League. Hopefully Osimhen will be able to score in the match against Malmo as well.

Fenerbahçe will play A. Bilbao tonight, it is a tough opponent for Fenerbahçe, I personally think that the probability of losing points is very high.
I hope Fenerbahçe wins this match and the ranking comes to the top.
Fenerbahçe does not have any important missing players in this match.

Fenerbahce rarely lose at home, so they have a chance to win, but Athletic Bilbao showed in recent games that they are in very good shape, they even managed to beat Real and Villarreal, and these are very strong opponents, and Fenerbahce lost to Besiktas. Therefore, I think that for Athletic Bilbao there is no big difference where to play, at home or away, they will play to win, and it is difficult for me to determine the favorite for this match, I think that these teams have equal chances.

Before the start of the match, I thought that both teams have an equal chance to win. But the conclusion of the first half, proved me otherwise as Fenerbahçe is losing by 0-2.

The host team, Fenerbahçe is currently losing to Athletic Bilbao by 2 goals in the first half of the match, even though they are dominant in the match by being in control of it.

I don't think that there will any other magic Jose Mourinho will do in the second half because it's just seems the match is over for Fenerbahçe. The least Fenerbahçe will do, is to look for draw(if it can happen), not a win. However, Let's see the changes, Jose Mourinho would think of, in the second half that will give Fenerbahçe a draw match against Athletic Bilbao. A draw match is what Jose Mourinho and his Fenerbahçe players would think of, as it is.

Exactly, Mourinho is not a magician, and he just have to accept defeat because Bilbao looks stronger and smarter than them. Bilbao was able to win Madrid the last time they met and I don't think that Fenerbahçe will be a problem for them. Nyaki Williams scored the two goals due to his sharpness, and who knows if he will get a hat trick in this match. I didn't expect Fenerbahçe to be struggling to break the deadlock in this match.

Galatasaray are one of the strongest team in super Lig that always make their way to qualify for the Champions league no matter the situation but unfortunately they couldn't make it this time around. It a great honour for Malmo to even face Galatasaray despite they are the leading team in Allsvenskan, l underestimate Malmo to defeat Galatasaray, I have no doubt about Galatasaray victory due to their current form despite the lost of their key players Baris Yilmaz and Icardi I still have confidence because Malmo only recorded a win since the starting and lost Four game while Galatasaray haven't lose any and I don't Malmo can be able to do it. Galatasaray still have players that can do it clear.

I am just joining this forum for the first time since my few days in this platform. I am a lover of football and a fan of good football/teams. Today's match between Fenerbahce and At Bilbao is actually going to be a tough one. However my belief in Morinho's managerial prowess makes me believe he will take the win for the night. Loosing to besiktas in their last game will be the drive to their today's victory together with their home advantage.

It has been almost thirty minutes of the match between Fenerbahce vs Athletic Bilbao, there has only been one goal scored by Athletic Bilbao players and Fenerbahce has not been able to equalize. And so far the positions of both teams in the standings are also quite far apart so I am a bit doubtful that Mourinho's students can win this match, because Athletic Bilbao has more ability to pack full points in this match.

About 63 minutes gone and Bilbao is leading with two goals already. The result of a football match is only known at final whistle. Things can turnaround adding that Fernebahce is still leading with possession. Let's see how the game ends since even 3 goals can be scored in
5  minutes. I'm still hopeful that Fernebahce may succeed with either win or draw.

I couldn’t agree more with you Mate.
Bilbao’s recent form and performances, as well as their previous victory against Madrid proves that they’re indeed a formidable opponent, not to mention their amazing players like Nyaki who was able to conceive 2 goals in that match also shows that they shouldn’t be underrated.
But then again, considering the current situation, it’s hard to confidently say that they’ll be able to emerge victorious in this match, but what can we say, we just have to sit back and keep our fingers crossed cos no one knows what’s really gonna happen next.

It's game over for Fenerbahçe, one of their player Mert Müldür been sent out of the field for fouling Nyaki Williams twice which resulted to two yellow cards. Currently, Fenerbahçe is playing Bilbao with one man down, which will become very difficult for them to put themselves back into the game. Bilbao will make proper use of this advantage to score more goals in this second half. Looks like Mourinho is getting frustrated.

Fenerbahçe is losing on its own turf. Of course, this must have angered Jose Mourinho. Especially in the first goal they conceded, defender Samet made an incredibly big mistake. He had made the same mistake in the European Championship match against Portugal. This goal conceded in the fifth minute distracted Fenerbahçe's entire game concentration. In addition, Mert Müldür's second yellow card and red card sent off caused them to play to avoid conceding more goals. A comfortable victory for Athletic.

Hopefully Osimhen will be able to score in the match against Malmo as well.

The Swedish league is indeed less well known, so we feel unfamiliar with the Malmo club. and Malmo itself is the leader of the standings in allvenskan, which is the highest caste of the Swedish league. However, it is very unfortunate that their dominance in the domestic league could not bring the team to perform better in the UEFA Europa League, where they were only able to win one match out of the five matches they had participated in. On the other hand, in the sixth match they had to face the strongest team from the Turkish league, and seeing the gap between the two teams, without any calculations it seems like we already know who will win this match.

Exactly, Mourinho is not a magician, and he just have to accept defeat because Bilbao looks stronger and smarter than them. Bilbao was able to win Madrid the last time they met and I don't think that Fenerbahçe will be a problem for them. Nyaki Williams scored the two goals due to his sharpness, and who knows if he will get a hat trick in this match. I didn't expect Fenerbahçe to be struggling to break the deadlock in this match.

Fenerbahce could not do much in this match other than defending. But as you said Bilbao is a strong team, and they are even a team that is still undefeated in the UEFA Europa League.

Fenerbahce struggled to turn things around when in the first half they were already leading 2-0 over Bilbao. Even in the second half they had to lose one player due to a red card, so they had to finish the match with 10 players.

Fenerbahce lost pretty easily at home and this wasnt expected. Fenerbahce lost already in the first half and later in second half when red card came it was game over fully. Fenerbahce is struggling in domestic and europe playing hot and cold and this makes things for them in europe league much more complicated. Those top 8 positions are slipping away.

There's something that seems really entertaining about the whole Europa League, it comes with surprises because every team have buckled up and no room for relenting results. I'm not even triggered to place my wagers on the team's that are favorite because random winning and losses now comes in the picture. Every tournament peaks interesting game outcomes because they're all competitive. The close ranging teams are unbeaten and core candidates to win the Europa League trophy. What other actions did you expect from Fenerbahçe after recording a defeat against Athletic Bilbao? Jose Mourinho had no options than settle for defeats against fierce Los Leones. He's doing quite good in the domestic league, ranking second on the table, it's enough reason to push harder for more winnings.

The game just happened and Fernebahce lost the game. From the final results we all saw that that 69th minute red card contributed to the final result. Athletic Bilbao has once again proved their mastery of the game over Fernebahce. Let's look forward tomorrow's fixtures.

The Bilbao game was insane, I have to give Fenerbahce all the credit on this one because they did their best and they tried the hardest but the reality is that Bilbao looked like an amazing team, they played perfectly and they have very talented players without a doubt. I am a huge Galatasaray fan, and if I can mock and joke about Fenerbahce anytime, I would take that chance and do that, so we are talking about something very fair here, because if Galatasaray played Bilbao today, we would lose terribly as well. I believe that we are seeing a team that may end up winning Europa at the end, Bilbao looks like they may end up winning the whole thing in the end as well.

One thing that you forgot is that, nobody can predict the team that would win the league until the finals. Bilbao performance was perfect toady because they met a team that they are stronger than.

However, that doesn't mean that Bilbao would win the league. I also knew that Bilbao would win this match and I placed my bet on them. My next game is in the champion league and I hope I win that too.

Fenerbahçe's coach is Mourinho. Mourinho is a very experienced coach. Even so, we are not seeing the expected good performance from Fenerbahçe this season. After Mourinho became Fenerbahçe's coach, I thought that maybe we will see a better performance from Fenerbahçe in the Europa League platform this season. But Fenerbahçe has won only two out of 6 matches in the Europa League.

Fenerbahçe's performance against Athletic Club was also very weak. Fenerbahçe could not play well in the home match either. Fenerbahçe lost 2-0. Fenerbahçe players were able to make only 4 shots in the entire match.

[Slow death]

Fenerbahçe will play A. Bilbao tonight, it is a tough opponent for Fenerbahçe, I personally think that the probability of losing points is very high.
I hope Fenerbahçe wins this match and the ranking comes to the top.
Fenerbahçe does not have any important missing players in this match.

Unfortunately, Fenerbahce lost and it was a game in which Fenerbahce failed to score at least 1 goal, they conceded 2 goals, it seems that this season Mourinho will not be able to achieve anything. In recent years he has been in teams that are a disappointment, teams that do not have a good budget to sign good players, teams that do not have much chance of winning the title and this makes Mourinho's name less important. At least in AS Roma he managed to achieve something, but I very much doubt that he will be able to achieve anything with Fenerbahce. Surprisingly, Bilbao has not been defeated in this competition, maybe they will be able to be champions.

Loosing to besiktas in their last game will be the drive to their today's victory together with their home advantage.

The coach factor and the factor of playing at home do not guarantee the team will win, especially Fenerbahce will play against Bilbao, which is currently in second place in the Europa League standings. And also, that Bilbao is a team that competes in the top four also in the La Liga standings so far this season. Thus, I personally believe Bilbao will still be able to win in this match and even if Bilbao fails to win, then a draw is very likely to happen. But yes, however I am personally very confident that Bilbao will win, although maybe only with a thin score such as for example only winning with a one-goal gap, and that still makes Bilbao will get three points despite playing away.

Ok, but...
The coach factor cannot be ruled out completely since great coaches are known by their choices of changes when things get tough in the pitch. Coaches are blamed when teams fail repeatedly not because they play the game, but because players play the coaches way and his decision making affects every area of the game and invariably the final result.

Morinho is known for his turnaround decision making. Even though Bilbao won't be an easy nut to crack, fernebahce should not be ruled out even though they occupy the lower number 15 spot in the europa table.

Home advantage even though not very significant, but the influence of fanbase on players courage is also something you can't undermine.

Did you get the final result?


Indeed, I admit Mourinho is a coach with many achievements but anyway, not always Mourinho will succeed in making a non-seeded team can get great success like Porto in the past. At least, I only consider about the trend they have in this moment or lately although indeed, the fact that Fenerbahce is also very good for the results they have in the domestic league in the Turkish Super League because Fenerbahce is currently in second place there.

But still, if comparing about the level of difficulty of La Liga and the Turkish Super League, then I believe La Liga has a more difficult level of competition. Thus, Bilbao still has better quality and moreover, Bilbao's results so far in the Europa League also show that Bilbao has a good trend at this moment. So, despite playing away, it does not mean that the team will be weak.

Athletic Bilbao scored at the start of the game and won very comfortably. I think Fenerbahçe's problem is the quality of the squad and they need to accept this for a solution. Players like Mert Müldür and Samet Akaydın should not play in this team. Mourinho may be trying to create a style of play, but with this group of players it is not possible to get full efficiency from any style of play. In this situation, Mourinho doesn't have much to do. I don't understand how Fenerbahçe can expect success with this mixed group of players. Fenerbahçe has been making the same mistake for years. It always fails because of the squad engineering and every game is very difficult.

[junder]

The opening match of the 6th Europa League has finished today, Bilbao managed to beat Fenerbahce with a score of 2-0.
In the second match tomorrow we will watch Roma face Braga, the position of the two teams in the current standings is not far apart, as well as the points obtained, but because this match will take place at Roma's home ground I think they can maximize this advantage by securing full points, but Roma must remain vigilant because Braga could give a surprise.

[ingiltere]

I find it normal that Fenerbahçe lost because Athletic Bilbao are one of the best teams in this league. Mourinho lost with the tactics he normally uses. Athletic Bilbao played the transition game much better. The first goal was a chance for them, the second goal was a legendary shot. The sad thing for Athletic Bilbao was the injury of Nico Williams, I hope it's nothing serious. Inaki Williams was the man of the match. Athletic Bilbao are doing well in La Liga and in the Europa League. Let's see how far they can go.
