UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

[Sandra_hakeem]

Roma played a magnificent game by beating the Eintracht 2-0, it was a beautiful game, I went to see it at the stadium and I must say that it was a game without exclusion of shots, a fantastic match, so they qualified for Painoffs which is excellent for a team that is not doing very well in the championship, obviously I had bet on the victory, force always Rome

Ranieri seems to have succeeded in continuing to slowly improve the quality of the AS Roma squad. AS Roma always shows improvement every week. So it's not surprising that from match to match I also started to like AS Roma again. And in that match I also favored him. AS Roma's possession of the ball was also not as bad as usual. They had a pretty good pass accuracy rate in that match. And I just hope this team can maintain this and continue to improve again until the end of the season both in Serie A and in the European League. I now understand why Ranieri was once successful at Leicester City. It seems that this coach has extraordinary composure in handling complicated situations within a club and is able to rebuild a chaotic squad into something good again. I like the patience this coach has.

It takes an extra experienced coach to salvage a team that seems to be in a declining state. I am also impressed at Ranieri'd ability to slowly and consistently restoring the confidence of Roma players. Their performance against Frankfurt was quite an applaudable one. It was a game that worthy of the time spent to watch.

FC Porto will be another big nut to crack but I still want to believe he will still have his way around it. FC Porto has their records in the Europa league as one of the strong opponents that are not that easy to defeat. But I will love to count on Ranieri to gather the required aggregate so they can progress to the next round.

This will probably be the most competitive match of the day. Although Ajax's performance in the Europa League is not very strong, Ajax is definitely strong in their home match. They will try their best to win in the home match today. However, even if Ajax wins today's match, the team has no chance of coming to the top 8 of the point table.

On the other hand, since Galatasray is in ninth place in the point table, they will definitely want to earn full points in today's match and be among the top 8 of the point table. Galatasaray will definitely play with the aim of winning. And although Ajax has been playing a bit defensively since the beginning of today's match, Galatasaray is playing completely attacking. However, we have not seen any goals yet in 20 minutes.

The Europa League encounter between Ajax and Galatasaray was indeed significant, but I think labelling it as the most competitive match of the day is a bit of an exaggeration while the game was intense I was expecting a win or draw for Galatasaray but unfortunately it didn't work out to be so. However Ajax ended up winning the match by a score line of 2-1. This victory was crucial for Ajax as they needed to qualify for the Europa League play offs. it's very good that this victory of theirs ended Galatasaray's long unbeaten streak.

Let not mixed things up here about Manchester United. They were able to finished in a reasonable position in the Europa league simply because they haven't faced any strong opponent yet. Let be realistic here, can they really be proud of their performance yesterday against FCSB? Did you see how they struggle against an unknown club? The fact that they finished amongst the top and qualified doesn't mean they are really playing good games at the moment. I'm scared they might not be able to go far in this round because they will be facing more stronger team and continue with this awful performance will eventually get them eliminated. That yesterday victory was totally not convincing at all considering how incompatible they were against the team they played against.

Are you claiming that Manchester United were able to finish in a decent position just because they played against weak teams? I can't consider any team weak in this tournament because they qualified for the Europa League. Which weak team does Manchester United face during the group stage? Can you say Rangers, Porto and POAK aren't strong teams? Perhaps you mean Bodoe, Twente, and PIzen are poor teams. Did you believe that if Tottenham Spurs had played against all of the teams that Manchester United defeated in the group stage, they would have finished fourth?

However, I do not think you watched Manchester United's game against FCSB; even if you did not, I believe you should review the game numbers to determine which team dominated during the game. Manchester United controlled FCSB throughout the game, but they were not able to score a goal in the first half. Let us wait for the next round of the game to see how Manchester United plays, but at this point, I am confident that they are going to make it through the next round if they continue in this way.

I know that is what most persons will say, that Manchester united played weaker team which is not true because if we say they are weaker team or club, the question now will or should be how did those team or club manage to qualify for the Europa league? And those who are calling those team Manchester united beat weaker team, if actually they are weaker would they have qualify for Europa league off course they would not have.

Anyone who watch Manchester united against FCSB will testify that Manchester united posses them till the end of the match just that Manchester united was kind of unfortunate to score in the first half, FCSB was only playing counter game. This is the second or third time Rubin Amorim is keeping clean sheet I think that is progress, I wish he build Manchester united back again though it is going to take a season to fully achieve that.

[Pokapoka124]

To be honest, this will be a difficult game for Manchester United to win tonight. FCSB, who will host Manchester United, has only lost one game since the start of the Europa League games. Though the team hosting Manchester United is from a small league, their performance in the Europa League appears to be very strong, and I am confident that Manchester United will have a difficult time winning. If you look at the odds that bookmakers provide Manchester United against FCSB, it has increased from 1.60 to 1.73, which must indicate that Manchester United will struggle in this game.

FSCB has shown strong competition in the Europa League, losing just one match out of 7 matches they have played shows that they can compete with other stronger clubs and can still be able to even win or play draw with them and as am writing now, they are already playing draw against Manchester United in the first half and from how the match is going Manchester United may not succeed in winning them because for them to hold United to a draw in the first half really implies that they are well prepared for them and if United is not even careful they might end up losing the match. The bookmakers have given the odds to favor Manchester United but as we can see that odds doesn't play the game.

I don't think FSCB can compete against top clubs in this season Europa League. Their match against Manchester United was intense as they were able to hold Manchester United in the first half of the match but Manchester United broke the deadlock in the 60th minutes, Mainoo and Dalot working together to give United the lead. It was a good performance from Amorim and his players as this win takes them to the next round of the tournament.

Galatasaray has kind of disappointed me in the group stage of the Europa league as I thought they'll top of the table or closer to the top after they signed Victor Osimhen but they just barely qualified for the playoff. It's very disappointing but also good as it'll make the players to play better in the playoffs to try and qualify further. Galatasaray were one of my favourites to win the tournament but I'm beginning to have second thoughts after they just ended their winning streak. I think this might be the beginning of their downfall as they might continue to lose more games after this defeat. Ajax played well  and defended better which is why they won.

Despite that Galatasaray added Victor Osimhen on loan to boost the team's performance but i didn't see them as one of the favorite teams to contend for the Europa League title because they lack the force required to conquer most of the stronger teams in the Europa league. Galatasaray got several chances to qualify directly for the next round but instead they endanger their opportunities by playing draws in matches they were supposed to win comfortably and the one that annoyed me most was their match against RFS when they were already winning by 2:0 only for RFS to equalize the score.
         Victor Osimhen is a great player but only him cannot take the team to greater level, Galatasaray don't have a good defense that is why they concede a lot of goals so a team with that record of conceding goals in most of their games cannot be trusted because they can concede goals and lose important games. I don't know who they will be tied with in the play-offs but if they don't work hard for it, they might not qualify for the knockout stages. We should also know that Ajax made good improvements this season even though they are also in the play-offs but their win against Galatasaray cannot be questioned because they actually worked hard for it.

Yeah across all competitions Galatasaray has been unbeaten, yesterday became a different one they did not expect. What I observed in that game was the fact that Galatasaray was a little soft on the attack. It was surprising to see they failed to score a goal until the last minutes of the game. Their attack was slow while the Ajax defenders put all their energy into holding Victor Osimehn from scoring. Although I was expecting any player other than Victor Osimehn to score since he was not given the chance. Yet no one could, the only goal they had in the game was still scored by Osimeh.

I also want to emphasize how poor their defense was. Because the second goal scored by Ajax was a result of a defensive error. That ball crossed into the 18-yard would have been cleared properly by the Galatarsayr defender. They heard an interception on the ball but failed to clear it from the 18 yards. The defenders are to be blamed for the goal, especially the one who made the mistake on the interception.

Galatasaray lost when it meant the most, nothing nice about it. You bring in Osimhen, a scorer who has a lot of hype, and you're still having trouble? That doesn't look like a strong team; it looks like a group that's having trouble when things get tough. With three suspensions from this one game and a shaky midfield, it looks like they didn't have a plan B once their original spark died down

There is still a chance to make the playoffs, but they'll be out before they even know it if they can't keep their cool. You can't act like you're on vacation while you're in the Europa League. They might get better after an embarrassing loss, sometimes that's just what a team needs. But losing to Ajax team that isn't exactly having a great time is a bad look. Until then, Ajax? Strong, well-behaved, and no stress. They took a chance, and boom - 2-1 win. That's how it's done

[nelson4lov]

Only 3 matches caught my attention in the playoffs draw.

Ajax vs Galatasaray
Fenerbahce vs Bodo glimt
Porto vs Roma.

I hope after the playoffs, we will start getting UEL match-ups that would be worth it because half the teams in this playoffs are just mids at best.  I'll take the UEL more serious as the competition intensifies.

[Weawant]

This will probably be the most competitive match of the day. Although Ajax's performance in the Europa League is not very strong, Ajax is definitely strong in their home match. They will try their best to win in the home match today. However, even if Ajax wins today's match, the team has no chance of coming to the top 8 of the point table.

On the other hand, since Galatasray is in ninth place in the point table, they will definitely want to earn full points in today's match and be among the top 8 of the point table. Galatasaray will definitely play with the aim of winning. And although Ajax has been playing a bit defensively since the beginning of today's match, Galatasaray is playing completely attacking. However, we have not seen any goals yet in 20 minutes.

Ajax won the game and Galatasaray couldn't get a game from this game. Ajax has been really  awesome in this game and did utilise their chances to win this game and so far they have made it to the next rounds of the game but Galatasaray will be in the play-off so as to make it further to the next stage of the game and so far with the performance of the team so far they are very likely to get apss this stage of the europa this season.

I now understand why Ranieri was once successful at Leicester City. It seems that this coach has extraordinary composure in handling complicated situations within a club and is able to rebuild a chaotic squad into something good again. I like the patience this coach has.

I already trust Claudio Ranieri to change things at Roma even as he met the team in a bad state, he had some challenging times at first but he restrategized hence the reason why the team has made improvements so far. Winning a German Bundesliga team like E. Frankfurt is not easy not to talk of a 2:0 clean sheet. Ranieri has recorded successes in his coaching career and i believe he can also make history at Roma. The team is in a better shape now, thanks to Claudio Ranieri who has devoted his time to see the team prosper. Any one who watches the team play now will know that a lot of works was done before the team was able to be in this form now. Let them keep flying and should not allow any form of distractions so that they can still continue to improve more and get a good balance in the Serie A and in the Europa League.

the play-off pairings for the upcoming round of 16 in the europa league have now also been decided
in my opinion, fc porto vs. as roma is the most interesting match. the playoffs will be held on february 13 and 20

This is the only couple with big (relatively of course hehe) names, so only they are of interest.
It seems that Ranieri has brought Roma out of its nosedive and Porto is consistently strong, I don’t even know who to consider the favorite here. Judging by the odds for the first game:

2.18 - 3.55 - 3.25

Roma is considered the favorite since even away, Roma's chances are not so bad.

[Stepstowealth]

And I, as a Man United fan, think that it will be a big loss if Man United releases Garnacho to Napoli. He is one of Man United's wonderkids, his potential is very large, so Garnacho is very worthy of being maintained by Man United.

Maybe the coach is just trying to make Garnacho understand that he is not indispensable from the team so that he can put in more effort to become better because once a player starts thinking that they are untouchable in a team, the chance of their performance to reduces increases then. Some of these players need a wake up call and if he doesn't move in this window before it expires it will be a wake up call for him to really put in more effort to impress the new coach so as to maintain the first team selection.

Slowly Claudio Ranieri managed to boost AS Roma performance, at first many thought he was too old and had lost his touch. The experience he had made his adaptation period run faster, so AS Roma managed to rise from the slump. Meanwhile, it was surprising to see AS Roma beat Eintracht Frankfurt with a score of 2-0, where previously I thought they would fail to secure full points. I think that is a sign that the Serie A representatives are now starting to rise, and there is a possibility that they can talk a lot in the Europa League. The next match against Porto in the play off round will not be easy, but I think they have a higher chance of winning.

Some of the players that Manchester United have do not show good attitudes because sometimes they are too selfish and they are not able to work well together with the team. Players like this do need to be given a little pressure so that they can change and in the future the competition in the Europa League will increase where they will face much tougher opponents so Manchester United must improve their quality if they want to stay in the title race. Players must be able to be at their best because the Europa League provides a way for Manchester United to qualify for the Champions League if they succeed in winning.

the play-off pairings for the upcoming round of 16 in the europa league have now also been decided
in my opinion, fc porto vs. as roma is the most interesting match. the playoffs will be held on february 13 and 20

AS Roma vs Porto is a biggest playoff pair in Europa League and it is similar to a pair of Real Madrid vs Manchester City in Champions League playoff. Appearance of Porto in Europa League is already a surprise but it is bigger surprise when they have to join playoff matches. Roma and Porto will be a most exciting playoff pair in Europa League, I have no doubt.

This is the only couple with big (relatively of course hehe) names, so only they are of interest.
It seems that Ranieri has brought Roma out of its nosedive and Porto is consistently strong, I don’t even know who to consider the favorite here. Judging by the odds for the first game:

Roma has very good improvement in Europa League and Serie A with Ranieri as their temporary head coach. Porto are strong too and Roma won't easily beat this opponent in playoff matches. Roma will have to play two matches with nearly perfect performances in both defense and attack to win against Porto.

Slowly Claudio Ranieri managed to boost AS Roma performance, at first many thought he was too old and had lost his touch. The experience he had made his adaptation period run faster, so AS Roma managed to rise from the slump. Meanwhile, it was surprising to see AS Roma beat Eintracht Frankfurt with a score of 2-0, where previously I thought they would fail to secure full points.

How Roma won against Frankfurt is very impressive, as they were not too hurry but played carefully, patiently attack and find opportunities to beat this opponent from Bundesliga. If we count a fact that Frankfurt stands at a third position in Bundesliga, their strength and quality are proven in their domestic league. Beating this opponent in a last group match, shows Roma and Ranieri's quality and strong mentality to resolve big challenge at their last decisive match.

Roma is a favorite, but we shouldn't forget about Fenerbahce who is trainer by Jose Mourinho. I don't expect too much if that club would go so far because their performance is not so appropriate in the group stage. they're almost eliminated but helped by Lazio because it only conceded 1 goal when meet Braga. And, As we remember Mou is a person who have specialisation on Europa. He has experience winning the conference league, Europa league, and of course champions league which I think he could be bring Fenerbahce go far from playoffs. Fenerbahce in good performance, they just won 4 matches in the row in the Turkish league, This is certainly capital for him to increase the mental squad.

If you look at the odds in the first match, Porto is more favored than Roma because in this first match Porto will play as the home team and their meeting statistics in the last 5 matches Porto won 2 times and Roma won 1 time but they drew 2 times, in this play-off match it will be a determinant between the two teams and the best will advance to the last 16, actually their performance is almost the same in the UEL so it is quite difficult to see who will win.

I quite agree with you on these two game fixtures, AS Roma V FC Porto are known for their strength and success when it comes to European competitions, The Champions League and the Europa League cup competitions. It will definitely be a game that lovers of the Europa League would want to know who will win, and then followed by the match between AZ Alkmaar and Galatasaray, this would be another interesting game too, which I'm expecting Galatasaray to come out victoriously.

Porto vs Roma can be considered as a big match on playoff stages this because these teams have long history in this competition and yesterday i have been watching the match between Roma vs Frankfurt which i can see the progress of Roma under Ranieri is much better so if Roma can play like they beat Frankfurt i think they have good chances to overcomes Porto besides that i have seen Porto records during group phase is not really good because they were suffering 3 loses from 8 matches and almost not qualified

That should be the most interesting match in that playoff and it is somewhat difficult to predict given the inconsistencies that have characterized AS Roma lately. Normally, AS Roma is supposed to win the match with minimal headache but I'm not sure about that judging from the way they have been playing of late. On the other hand, FC Porto have remain very strong in their domestic league and even in some of the Europa league matches, so they will never become a push-over for AS Roma but will give them a big fight just like Benfica did to Juventus in the Champions League encounter where the former defeated the later in their home.

In this play-off round, anything can happen and we cannot compare Roma and Porto performance in the preliminary round and in the current play-off round. What I saw was that Roma was able to beat Frankfurt because Dino Toppmöller team gave Roma and Frankfurt a chance to perform less than optimally. Just imagine if Frankfurt could perform optimally, Roma would definitely lose. Because Frankfurt position was safe, they gave in to give Roma a chance to qualify for the play-off round. Meanwhile, Porto is one of the teams that has great experience in big competitions and cannot be underestimated. On the one hand, Porto will play at home in the first leg and if they can get a bigger aggregate score, Porto chances will also be very big. And Roma chance is only to survive not to concede a large number of goals.
