UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

[SmartCharpa]

The unexpected happened, Athletic Billabo who were favored and expected to be able to sweep all matches in the UEFA Europa League preliminary round actually lost badly to Besiktas with a score of 4-1. This was the first defeat for Athletic Billbao, in this match even though they got quite a lot of opportunities, Bilbao's attackers were unable to make the most of them.

On the other hand, under the guidance of their new coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and playing as hosts, they appeared quite confident. They were not only able to take the lead over Athletic Bilbao, but they also appeared so impressive when the second half started. And with this victory, a glimmer of hope to advance to the last 16 slowly opened up, because what was initially in 28th position has now risen to 18th position. and seeing the competition which is still quite tight they still need to secure points in the next match, where in the last round they will face FC Twente, and I hope Besiktas can secure three full points in this match.

Can we say that Ole Gunnar led Besiktas to win over Athletic Bilbao? Of course, Ole Gunnar, who was hired as Besiktas' manager just a few days ago, has had an impact, as the club won its first game against Athletic Bilbao. The home team won their third Europa League victory against a strong side that had not lost in the previous six games. Besiktas defeated Bilbao and scored a lot of goals against a big club for the first time. Besiktas had never scored four goals against other big teams this season, but they were able to do it against Bilbao.

However, it was an unexpected result from Bilbao; I almost bet on the away team to win the match because they are performing well in the Europa League, but I had an assumption that the outcome against Besiktas might be different, perhaps it would be a draw game, and I bet on the away team to have a double chance in the first half. Many people believe Bilbao will make it to the final without losing any matches, but after losing to Besiktas by four goals, I am sure they will not be considered among the team to win the Europa League this season.

Congratulations to Beşiktaş, I didn't expect them to get such a result. They played really well tonight and they totally deserved this win.
A.Bilbao was one of the favorites for this cup but they were bad tonight and Beşiktaş was very good.
It was a very important 3 points for Beşiktaş. I hope they make it to the play-offs and continue.

[SUPERSAIAN]

For Ole Gunnar Beşiktaş's first match, Beşiktaş fans filled the stadium and were hopeful for him. It was a very good match, I didn't know that you could play so fast in Beşiktaş, why didn't they play until today, is it really the difference of Ole Gunner, I guess it must be like that. Rashica started the match with a beautiful goal, the passes before that were very good.

Atletic Bilbao equalized in the last minutes of the first half. Beşiktaş had a great game plan, Beşiktaş won the match with very fast attacks and games in the second half, it was a nice success for Beşiktaş.

Yeah we can see the surprise today, because at first I thought the best results for Beşiktaş might only be a draw but surprisingly they can play optimally and collect 3 points, this is the 3rd victory for Beşiktaş but they still have a bad record in this competition with 4 defeats while only one match left against Twente this means that it is certain that Beşiktaş will go to the next round through the playoff, the scenario can be different if the Beşiktaş is defeated in the next match.

Tomorrow we still have many matches and our concern is the teams from Premier League, will Tottenham and Manchester United secure 3 points? well this will be interesting for us to look forward.

Galatasaray match cna not be compared to this game because I expect Besiktas to take the match very seriously seeing the position of Bilbao already in the competition,  Bilbao is playing from away they may try to punish Besikas team if they fail to defend well but if the home team means business tonight they should take advantage and get 3 points because I don't think Bilbao will want to stress themselves mush since they are already saved due to their position and points. Placing a both team to score for the match is not bad but I hope Bilbao will not hold the home team to a 0:0 draw because they are the stronger opponent in this game.

Finally what we talked about became a reality bro. The result looks unreasonable but previously we had anticipated that defeat or draw would not affect Bilbao's position. Now we can see the final result which for me is very funny for a strong team like Bilbao. And Besiktas should be grateful to Bilbao who gave Besiktas a great opportunity to be in 18th position to be able to get a chance in the play off round.

Besiktas vs Athletic Bilbao (BTTS) 4-1 Win

The result of Beşiktaş is not only a large one but coming after a game against Athletic Bilbao which is a quite hard and annoying opponent. Bilbao is the second team in the ranking in UEFA Europa League this season while Beşiktaş is now classed 18th thanks to this victory! .

Indeed the unexpected did happened to Bilbao. This is why I'm mostly of the opinion that the Europa isn't a game that should have some exact patterns and expectations around it because it may turn out at the end of the day that it will not happen that way as the results may blow your kind and in some cases come off as disappointments. Bilbao was a better team in this game even Statistically but it felt like they didn't prioritise this game and so their performance couldn't bring home some productivity but then again they are sure to make it to the next round of the Europa.

A fourth club in La Liga lost big to Beskitas, it's unbelievable but it seems clubs from La Liga all have big problems in Europe from Champions League to Europa League in this season. Yesterday, Barcelona nearly lost to Benfica before surprisingly coming back in a goal productive match. In this match today, Athletic Bilbao failed to do a comeback and they ended as a big loss.

Athletic Bilbao have good growth in recent seasons but it's like they have yet gotten enough experience in Europe. This defeat possibly has a factor of lack of experience but with quality they shown in La Liga, they would have done it better. They can lose the match, but can avoid a big defeat if they have proper approach. Perhaps they began this match with no idea that they can lose it, or lose big, so their approach is sort of too careless.

I think this is not only happening in the Europa League because in big UCL matches there is also uncertainty and unexpected surprises, in football things like this are very common and we can't always predict correctly, historically Bilbao is indeed better but Besiktas also can't be underestimated they need points to qualify for the next round while Bilbao's position is still quite safe even though they have to experience this 1 defeat.
For tonight's match I am curious about Lazio's appearance whether he will maintain his winning streak I also bet on Lazio's victory and there are 2 other clubs that I bet on.

Besiktas found a bright spot under Ole, it seems that Ole has a good impact on this team, at first I thought I was not sure Besiktas would beat Bilbao, Bilbao's betting odds were very superior and here Besiktas really performed well enough so that there was not much room for Bilbao players to win at home, and here it looks like Williams has no room to help Bilbao. Williams could not get past Besiktas' defenders at all and I think Besiktas under Ole's guidance will continue to develop because Ole is a genius coach in my opinion and with this victory Besiktas has a full chance to advance to the next phase in the Europa League.
And this big victory also led me to my betting victory, I chose well and I got it.

The strategy carried out by the Bilbao coach did not go well and vice versa beşiktaş was able to take advantage of the opportunity to get a victory. Initially I estimated Bilbao to win the match because they became one of the favorites in the European League but instead lost the momentum to get points in the match. This defeat did not have an impact on Bilbao because they were still in a pretty comfortable position and certainly qualified for the next round. If you look at the condition of the standings, Beşikta will definitely qualify for the next round but must go through the playoff path but in the last match they must lock the victory first.

[Hirose UK]

Manchester United will meet Rangers and they play at Old Trafford which is Manchester United home ground, this will be very interesting match because Rangers themselves are also right below Manchester United and are not team that can be underestimated, Rangers have 3 win, 2 draw and 1 defeat and that means Rangers could make Manchester United have hard time later.
Looking at the Rangers match schedule shows they have winning streak and have fairly sharp attack line, I predict that this match will only end in draw, if Manchester United manages to win maybe only with 1 goal difference advantage.

[satscraper]

Galatasaray was very bad last night, they drew with D.Kiev who only scored 1 goal in the league.
There is no explanation for this draw. We cannot maintain the score in the matches we are ahead.
Muslera needs to retire now, all the shots the teams have taken this season have been goals.
Gabriel Sara's absence is evident in the team.
Icardi must return urgently.

I don't understand how Dynamo Kyiv scored three goals in this match. Galatasaray is a strong team. In the past matches we have seen much better performances from Galatasaray's defenders. But in this match against Dynamo, Galatasaray's defenders and goalkeeper performed atrociously.

The interesting thing is that Dynamo players had a total of 6 shots in this match. Three of them were on target. And Dynamo Kyiv managed to score all three goals. Galatasaray's overall performance was good. If the defenders and goalkeepers had performed a little better, Galatasaray would have earned the full 3 points in this match. It is now completely uncertain for Galatasaray to be in the top 8 of the points table.

Agreed, the way they played in this match has ruined my bet thus I lost   , ^{luckily my price for this bet was not too high}. Galatasaray is my favorite team in Turkish Super Lig and they are performing over there quite well and my hope was that team will demonstrate  its mastery in this  specific match.

As to Dynamo Kyiv, I think they hey have nice luck  for their play  with Galatasaray, nothing else.

I think Galatasaray is not as bad as you said,

It is true.

The result was unexpected. Winning by one or two goals would have been normal but four goals to one is an embarrassment to Bilbao, a club that has been strong in this Europa League this season. This is a big win for the Turkish side because they needed these three points to rekindle the hope of making it to the knockout stage. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer deserves to receive some level of accolade by winning his first game with Beşiktaş. He has really shown that he has learned a lot from his absence from a managerial position for some time now. Hoping that he will replicate the same tactical soundness in the Turkish League.

Icardi must return urgently.

I don't know to what extent this news is true:

Mauro Icardi's Future at Galatasaray in Jeopardy After Weekend Revelry

I am pretty sure no Galatasray fan cares about Icardi partying. I mean it's clear that the dude is injured, and when he was partying he wasn't breakdancing on the floor, he is just sitting on some lounge with his new girlfriend and that's fine. Injured players can walk, this isn't normal life injury, sure if he was an accountant then he could go back to his job already, but he is a striker, and that means he needs to be on the field and running, well run as much as he can, not like he was running like Osimhen all game even when he was healthy, but run enough, and dribble, and considering he is injured, someone who can walk, doesn't mean they can go out and play a match, those are different things.

So he has all the right to party as much as he wants during this period, he isn't really missing anything, both him and fans have to wait for him to get better, and meanwhile, what he does isn't really that important. Nobody expects him to return this season anyways, he is out for the season, OR at best case, could come back on few games before the season ends, so expecting him to just sit at home watch tv all day makes no sense.

Ole debut match is really run well and before Ole arrived Besiktas has a problem to their attack and defense but it didn't take long for Ole to improved Besiktas performance and i have seen the arrival of Ole is give positive vibes for Beskitas it proven this team can able to win over Bilbao with huge scores and actually Bilbao is not a weak team because before this match Bilbao had unbeated record so this is hard match for Besiktas especially their performance is not impressive in Europa League which makes people predict Besiktas will be beated by Bilbao but surprisingly they can win even with big scores

When a player is injured, he can enjoy himself to the fullest to see if that will make him recover fast. There is time for everything. If you are fit, you will always be on the field with you team mates. Everyone has the freedom to do whatever they like when they're free. I don't think that Icardi can do anything on the pitch when he is not fully fit.

It looks like Atletic Bilbao's performance is coming down because I don't even understand the team performance from their last 4 matches, Bestikas is a good team but I don't think they are better than Bilbao, Bilbao has a good player like the Williams brothers and other quality players that can help the team but in their last 4 matches they find it difficult to win a match, I think the coach need to put more effort to his team because he will soon lose his job because I don't expect a big team like Bilbao will let the team fall from top four position in the league table.

I think Bilbao just lost their first match in the Europa League this season as they are in 2 positions in the league table, I  think they can do better when they qualify for the next round of the league, Bilbao needs to put more effort into his job because in La Liga Bilbao is not doing well and as they got defeated in their last 4 matches and if they did not take care it will affect them in Europa league also.

Looking at the Rangers match schedule shows they have winning streak and have fairly sharp attack line, I predict that this match will only end in draw, if Manchester United manages to win maybe only with 1 goal difference advantage.

One thing we most no is that this two teams plays in different leagues and the most difficult league in the world is where Manchester United is and them not being inform in there league those not mean they can't play very well with other teams in other league.
Manchester United has not been in a good form this season they have suffered some lose which includes there recent 3-1 home defeat to Brighton, however Manchester United remains unbeaten in the Europa League, when it comes to Europe league they always play very well and put in there Best.
Rangers have shown improvement with three consecutive Win however, they face challenges with key player absences due to injuries and ineligibility, including Mohamed Diomande's suspension.
When you check this two clubs head to head you will discover that Manchester United has always dominated them in there last 4 head to head, Manchester United won 3 and draw 1 with them, all without Manchester United conceding a goal. Rangers have struggled on English soil, with only one win in eight away matches against English teams in European competitions, so I believe Manchester United is in a good position to win them.

Galatasaray is currently struggling, as we all know because they give up goals so easily and miss opportunities to win games. However, Icardi cannot return as soon as some of us had hoped because he has an ACL injury and will likely be absent for the rest of the season. The manager, Okan, must address the team's issues as soon as possible for their next match, or else they risk losing more important games they may need to win.

Furthermore, Icardi's job in the team is as a striker, not as a defender or goalkeeper, to save the goals conceded. If Muslera concedes unnecessary goals, management should bring in another goalkeeper to rescue them. I don't see a problem with Galatasaray's attackers because they can score a lot of goals and lead their opponents, but they do have problems with their defense and goalkeeper, who appears to be unable to save the club from unnecessary goals.
