UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

Maybe the problem is, the aggregate is 1 - 4, and it is quite difficult for Galatasaray to be able to turn things around. Unless they can really make an epic comeback and can be that good in their defense and attack line. Because, Galatasaray must at least score 4 goals without reply to be able to win the aggregate. Even though this is their home game, it will not be easy. I said it will not be easy, not impossible.

Let's see what O. Buruk will manage and arrange to make the tactic really run stronger and as optimal as possible.

Galatasaray will have to work hard to overturn a three-goal deficit if they want to qualify, this mission is certainly very difficult for them because AZ Alkmaar have no pressure in this game, they only need a draw or a 2-0 defeat to qualify for the last 16. AZ Alkmaar will be looking for a safe spot after a big win in the first leg, they just need to add strength in the defensive area and occasionally counter-attack to put pressure on Galatasaray. Galatasaray may be able to win this game, but their chances of qualifying are very slim.

Agg 3 goals is very difficult to catch even though Galatasaray is playing at home but we also have to look at the strength of both teams and indeed AZ Alkmaar and Galatasaray do not have a much different quality difference and what happened in the first leg was quite detrimental to Galatasaray.
I think it's all over even though in football anything is possible but I'm sure there will be no big surprises, in the second leg later AZ Alkmaar only needs to play defensively and that will make it difficult for Galatasaray.

I plan to bet on under goals in this match, there won't be many goals scored when AZ Alkmaar plays defensively later and they also have a good defense line, so there is a big possibility that there won't be many goals scored and it is even possible for a draw in the match later

It already went South for Manchester United under Mourinho's leadership. The only difference was that Mourinho won a title and that camouflaged the downtrend that was ongoing as a whole. Titles often cover up a lot of the mess that is hovering in the background and slowly developing. Now you could argue how a team that is on a downtrend still wins a title, but well there is some variance in football as it is in almost all areas of life. When they won the Europa League, they wouldn't have been a serious contender for the Premier League title, yet it worked out.

But now you can see some fundamental problems that need to be tackled and this is not changing the coach and waiting 3 months. It is more about putting together a whole new team and that will take time given how the market conditions are these days, how strong the competition for new players is and the fact that Manchester United is not the world football address it once used to be. In addition to that they won't be playing any UEFA competitions next season.

I would say that was a good thing for them, because Mourinho got the last big cup for United, whereas FA cup or EFL cup isn't as valuable as Europa cup if you ask me. Sure United is going down, but they should be also looked as a team that can do a lot better with the amount of support and money they have. If they do not do any better, that's of course not the managers fault, but look at their squad and how much money they spent for it, shouldn't they win the europa cup with it?

Amorim has a lot to do, and if he can win this cup, then everything else will be unimportant, but if he fails here too, then we can't keep saying he has no fault, he is not 100% guilty, but he is not 0% neither, he has many good players to be able to win this.

This means you think that regardless of the resources ten Hag had available, it is not his fault that he put together a losing team? I disagree. Ten Hag was or is one of the worst coaches in the world of football. He can't overcome his own ego and he would let a player sit on the bench irrespective of the quality of the player if ten Hag doesn't like him as a person. That's the worst attitude a coach can have if they are supposed to build successful teams.

Amorim took over a team that was as low as it could get and in my opinion from a competitive perspective, Amorim made a huge mistake. From a financial and career perspective, Amorim is now a coach in the Premier League and once you got there, you stay there. Personally it was the right decision, but if he wanted to build a legacy as a coach, he should have tried to achieve the maximum with Sporting.

Our representatives Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe will play tonight.

Galatasaray lost the first match 4-1, I have no hope for the match to be played tonight and I think we will be eliminated.

Fenerbahçe won the first match 3-0 and had the advantage, I don't think they will be eliminated by Anderlecht. They may lose the match but they will not concede a 3-point difference.

I have said before that Galatasaray is not going to qualify for the round of 16 in the Europa League, Galatasaray was defeated in the first leg of the match and they conceded 4 goals in the match, 4 goals is not a small goal that can be easily equalized, Akmaar defeating Galatasaray is not something that Galatasaray will be thinking they can do a comeback, Akmaar will not be looking at Galatasaray and be scoring goals without not scoring too, I don't trust Galatasaray since the beginning of the season after seeing them conceding goals even when they are winning.

It looks like Galatasaray is not even a good team that the players played like a team because having a good striker like Victor Osimhen and Morata and you can't win a match looks like a disgrace to a team, It will not be a surprise if we see Akmaar humbled Galatasaray again, and about Fenerbache I believe they are going to qualify, let me just say Fenerbache has already if they play well and defend well in the game.

Galatasaray started the Europa league in a beautiful way but they later dropped form which has become their current nightmare, because I don't see how they are going to win today's match. They have already lost it in the first leg dur to their poor performance.

Turkish clubs are not good at European competitions and they hardly go far. I was thinking Galatasaray will prove me wrong in the beginning, but look at it now. It's the same.

Against AZ Alkmaar it will be impossible, even with only because Galatasaray's defense is very bad. And if you look at the number of injured players who are currently in the Galatasaray infirmary, it becomes clear that this return match is just a formality that will not change anything. I am almost sure that the visitors will be able to score a goal, maybe even more than one, and this will make the task impossible for Galatasaray.

Galatasaray lost the first match 4-1, I have no hope for the match to be played tonight and I think we will be eliminated.

Fenerbahçe won the first match 3-0 and had the advantage, I don't think they will be eliminated by Anderlecht. They may lose the match but they will not concede a 3-point difference.

We will never know for sure what the result will be before the second match is really finished, but seeing Galatasaray's deficit to AZ which is temporarily 1-4 on aggregate, it is unlikely that Galatasaray can equalize in this second match. Although in this match Galtasaray plays as the host, and osimhem returns to play for galatarasay.

Meanwhile regarding Fenerbahce, although they are currently quite superior with an aggregate of 3-0 over Anderlecht, they should not be too complacent about the advantage they currently have, because for the next match it is an away match. Playing as the host, Anderlecht could be better than before. But even so, I also feel quite confident that Mourinho's team can overcome the pressure and secure a place in the last 16.

[Altryist]

What is difficult for Amorim is because a number of important players they have are injured and the players on the bench also do not have the appropriate expectations to be replaced. We can see that during the match against Tottenham where he only replaced one player in the match. If relying on the players they have, then I also doubt that Manchester United can go further, especially in the Europa League.

When the main players can be fielded, Manchester United itself still has difficulty winning the match, especially if a number of the main players they have are injured, then I am sure it will be much more difficult for Amorim to maximize the existing strengths.

Are you talking about Casemiro being substituted in the 91st minute? In that case, we can say that Amorim played the match without a single substitution. In reality, Manchester United's performance against Tottenham was not that terrible, but they failed to score and suffered another defeat. In the Premier League, Amorim is in disaster, because Manchester United dropped to 15th place, and I think that no success in the Europa League can compensate for this.

[Fakhrulenclix]

The second leg of the play-off round will be held today which will determine who will qualify for the last 16. I think AZ Alkmaar and Fenerbahce have a greater chance of qualifying because they have created an aggregate of more than 2 goals and in this second leg maybe both clubs will play a defensive technique to maintain their advantage.
For today's match I will bet on only 3 matches with the BTTS and total Asia options but for BTTS yes on the Roma and Porto match the odds are quite tempting but also look risky hopefully Porto and Roma don't destroy my bet.

The BTTS betting option for the Roma vs Porto match is quite good because it is likely that both teams will score in this match because the draw in the first leg makes both teams play more openly and also both teams still have the same hope of qualifying.

However, for the other two matches, you place a goal under bet, I think it will be very risky because in the Galatasaray vs AZ match it will be very fierce because Galatasaray, who is already behind Aggerat 3 goals in the first leg, of course will play more openly in the match later to be able to get a lot of goals so that it is likely that both teams will score several goals which makes the goal over in the match as well as in the Ajax vs Union Saint Gilloise match.

I share this opinion as I think that Galatasaray vs. Alkmaar is as unpredictable as it can get. Galatasaray with the fans in their back will go crazy from the first minute to the last and it could lead to both teams scoring a lot when Alkmaar uses their counter attack chances, which will certainly be there.

But I think that it is not impossible Galatasaray scores a quick goal and then pushes for the second nonstop. I would not want to be the referee in this game. Everything will be done to get penalties, free kicks everything. In this game 4 goals is very possible and 5 goals is still possible.

Galatasaray will have to work hard to overturn a three-goal deficit if they want to qualify, this mission is certainly very difficult for them because AZ Alkmaar have no pressure in this game, they only need a draw or a 2-0 defeat to qualify for the last 16. AZ Alkmaar will be looking for a safe spot after a big win in the first leg, they just need to add strength in the defensive area and occasionally counter-attack to put pressure on Galatasaray. Galatasaray may be able to win this game, but their chances of qualifying are very slim.

What you said makes sense because AZ Alkmaar themselves are already aware that they do not need to pressure Galatasaray with more attacks in this match so AZ Alkmaar will focus more on defending and counterattacking tactics when possible. Because AZ Alkmaar can still qualify more comfortably for the next round even if they lose 2-0 in this match, especially if the match is a draw, of course it will be very beneficial for AZ Alkmaar. But I am not so sure that their match will end in a draw because Galatasaray will definitely launch more attacks in this match.

A 3-goal deficit is not easy for Galatasaray to catch up with even though they are playing at home, moreover AZ Alkmaar has almost the same strength as Galatasaray, so it is likely that the second leg match will be fierce and I even predict that AZ Alkmaar can win again because they are currently in high confidence.
Likewise for Fenerbahce, even though they will visit Anderlecht's headquarters, the advantage in the first leg makes their confidence much higher, 3 goals will be very difficult to catch up with and in terms of quality Anderlecht is also quite comparable to Fenerbahce.

You easily conclude the scores of these Europa league games easily. Remember this is football and we should always expect the impossible to happen. Are you not acquainted with the term 'come-back' it's really important we acknowledge some basis in football. Galatasaray must have underestimate AZ Alkmaar in the first leg and they've seen the outcome. Tonight is second leg, AIkmaar will travel to Galatasaray ground to face them, I'm just hoping they will be able to pull some strings. AIkmaar manager, Maarten Martens will introduce new techniques atleast to sealed him a draw point today, while Galatasaray manager, Okan Buruk will deploy fresh techniques to ensure a winning.

AIkmaar are not up to the ranging point of Galatasaray in the Turkish league, then why thrash Galatasaray 4-1? It's concerning because a team like AIkmaar will do everything to hold their ground. Shifting to Fenerbahçe, they're elite team and no doubt about them qualifying for next round of the Europa League with smiling faces.

Everyone talks about Gatasaray, but for me the game between Roma and Porto is the one that seems most interesting and tough, because they are teams that need to get through no matter what. I don't know which one is in better shape, because when they need to get through these teams grow a lot, the strategies of both teams must be very high, I would like to be able to determine some kind of advantage between them. I think if I were to make a bet, I would maybe lean a bit more towards Roma, but as a consequence sometimes Porto makes plays that can leave Roma there seeing how they are beaten, this Porto has very good advantages in attack.

[stompix]

I don't get the odds for this round no matter how much I try.
FCSB and PAOK tied, despite FCSB winning away and finishing the play-off like 10 places in front.
Fenerbache tied again at 2.6 against Anderlecht, like seriously why?

Ajax being just 2.10 against Union STG?

All these odds smell so fishy I'm staying out of it.

AIkmaar are not up to the ranging point of Galatasaray in the Turkish league, then why thrash Galatasaray 4-1?

What has Galatasaray shown in the league to date?

[ILuckyGuyI]

I'll join the party here and say that Bilbao is my favorite, too. I know that they had some draws in the past couple of games, but it's a big challenge to win against them and this is what will carry them through the knock out rounds in the Europa League. Bilbo would go the full distance and take the game into overtime or the penalty shootouts and then they have strong nerves. Their defense will give any opponent a hard time for the whole game and that can be exhausting on the one hand, and have consequences for the longer games on the other hand to the benefit of Bilbao. Earlier they have been my secret favorite, but by now they are officially a favorite in my opinion.

You both have a good point. Athletic Bilbao had a really strong league phase - except the heavy 4-1 loss vs Beşiktaş . But it isn't easy to make a pick between them and Lazio for the EL title for me.

The current odds are like:

• Athletic Bilbao : 6.50
• Lazio : 8.00

I might bet on both of them with an equal amount of money.    But as for betting on Manchester United or Tottenham, hell no! Bookies are too insistent on showing them as the biggest favourites. But none of them are playing credible enough.

[AprilioMP]

AS Roma vs Porto (AGG 1: 1)

Only AS Roma vs Porto is still uncertain who will pass. I forgot, there was another match that was still not safe after the results received in leg 1 were Bodo/Glimt vs FC Twente.
AS Roma may not be used as a favorite team that will win today because Porto in the last six matches has never suffered defeat.
FC Twente has never lost in their last six matches.

Both teams can win, both teams can lose. It will be a very complicated match. Both teams are fighting well. They are teams that can be successful in the European league. It will be fun to watch tonight's matches. I will also follow the Galatasaray match with interest. Their match can be fun too.

AS Roma vs Porto (AGG 1: 1)

AS Roma may not be used as a favorite team that will win today because Porto in the last six matches has never suffered defeat.
FC Twente has never lost in their last six matches.

The odds are like this.

Bookmakers rely on Roma quite much though. I didn't expect the gap of their odds to be this big honestly. But I'm also going for Roma win here. Even though I know how tight this game could be, I see them one step ahead. Ranieri's Roma look more solid. Still not their best shape but better. I don't know maybe the safest bet could be BTTS here. 2.04 is quite tempting odds. I don't think any of them will have trouble with scoring.

Ajax have unreal odds by the way. 2.16 for them, really?    It seems tricky maybe but what the hell, I'm in anyway.

[Marvell1]

AS Roma vs Porto (AGG 1: 1)

I am also very interested in the Roma vs Porto match. The  first match of these two teams was quite competitive. The match was drawn 1-1. We saw good performances from both teams. However  Porto failed  to win their home match.

Today's match is Roma's home match. If Roma can take home advantage then they have a big chance of winning. I basically think Roma is the favorite. This team is in good form now . And Roma is very serious about the Europa league. Roma is competing for the Europa League title. So hopefully we will see Roma win in today's  home match. And roma will be able to qualify for the next round.
