UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

[rahmad2nd]

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.

Regarding the Galatasaray vs AZ Alkmaar match, I am sure Galatasaray will win this match. Moreover, the match will be held at Rams Park Stadyumu, Galatasaray's home base. It's just that I'm not sure how many goals will be scored, because perhaps AZ Alkmaar will be dominant in playing safe and defensive. If Osimhen and his teammates are able to play solidly, at least they can score at least 2 goals. So, let's wait for the final result. Roma vs Porto. In my opinion, we will not provide an exciting and interesting show, but this match is still a crucial match for both teams. Roma needs a win as does Porto, both teams will fight each other to win this match. But as you said, I also predict that Roma will win this match. They have the advantage of playing at the Stadio Olimpico, they also have a good record when playing at home. In my estimation, this match will not produce many goals or with a narrow point difference. The match will be held soon, let's wait for the final result.

The second leg match will be a very decisive match for both teams, galatasaray who will play at home of course have great motivation to be able to win the match later especially reportedly osimhen will be their mainstay in attack m, I am personally very confident if galatasaray will be able to win the match later although it is a little difficult if Alkmaar plays with a solid defence, but what doubts me at the moment is Galatasaray chance to qualify for the round of 16 which looks very small after losing 4-1 in the first leg , despite winning in the second leg, but I am very pessimistic if they can beat Alkmaar with 4 goals without reply in the match later, because however if Alkmaar managed to at least score just 1 in the match, then Galatasaray will be even more burdened although they excelled in the match.

Matches like this are actually a difficult match to predict and can give a surprise. We can see examples of matches in other competitions such as UCL which have surprises that cannot be predicted. Although AZ is superior with a higher aggregate score, but it does not guarantee he will qualify for the next round. We must consider other results that can occur such as Galatasaray scoring 3 scores and AZ is unable to score. Finally the match will end in the penalty and Galatasaray can qualify for the next round.
In competitions like this we must consider many things because the team that is clearly visible can qualify for the next round can actually fail in the second leg.

In the domestic league, galatasaray is indeed a very strong team but in the UEL we can actually see they have weaknesses and a bad mentality, this season in the UEL, they have faced Alkmaar twice and in those two matches they failed to beat Alkmaar so I think in playing in the UEL their mentality is far below Alkmaar, the second leg will start in a few minutes,  even so, I still see that if they don't have a better chance of qualifying than Alkmaar, indeed all possibilities can happen including in UEL, but logically, chasing deficit  3 goals in match without reply is not an easy thing, especially if Alkmaar also plays by defending and relying on counterattacks in the match.

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.

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.

I dont expect lot of goals between Roma and Porto, as an Italian club Roma will try and play defence hard and thats why i think there wont be much goals between these two teams,the only way there can be if the match opens up early. I dont know why its such a high odd on Ajax they are the main favorites in this match

Because Roma has the advantage as the host so I think they deserve to be the favorite and if you look at their first leg Roma played much better than Porto, besides that in Serie A Roma has recently started to find stability in their performance because from the 5 matches they have played they have won 4 times with 1 draw. On the other hand Porto in the Portuguese League from their 5 matches has been quite disappointing. But I also won't say that Roma can win easily in this match because Porto also has the ability to qualify. And regarding Twente vs Glimt, Twente only needs to hold their opponents to a draw to be able to qualify for the next phase considering they are already ahead on aggregate.

Porto are trying to be more than I expect from them because they have scored a goal already, and it seems that it will be very unfortunate for AS Roma to lose in a home game, although anything is capable of happening even though they are still in the first half, but AS Roma are still playing a better game, though they have not even had a single shot on target yet, but I hope they win the game because I have hope in AS Roma to win the game because they have more chances than Porto in the game, but I am seeing a different expression in the game. But let's wait and see what will happen till the end of the game.

Roma takes the lead as Dybala score his second goal to give Roma the lead of 3-2 goal aggregate. Roma might finally scale through to the round of 16 with Dybala two goals, if Roma can take advantage of these lead. Dybala scored two goals within four minutes, and they were both world class goals. Two more minutes to end the first half excluding extra time.

Roma 2-1 Porto.
G.AGG 3-2.

Roma will try until the end for the Europa League title. Roma failed to win the away match against Porto. The match was drawn 1-1. However, Roma does not want to make any mistakes in the home match. Although Porto scored the first goal of the match, Roma is now 2-1 ahead at the end of the first half.

Dybala scored the first goal for Roma in the 35th minute of the match, just 4 minutes later dybala scored his second goal and Roma got the lead of 2-1. Roma changed their match strategy and formation in this match. Roma played in 3-5-2 formation in the first leg match. Today Roma is playing in 3-4-2-1 formation. And Roma continued to try to score goals from the beginning of the match.  Roma may play a little defensively in the second half, since they are already 2-1 ahead.

Both teams played well, the first-half score was 2-1 for Roma's advantage. Dybala scored two goals for Roma, which made them currently ahead.
Porto played well, and they made tight pressing, which disturbed Roma players in optimizing their attacks. Only a few times do they lose focus and let Roma be bigger in attacking. But soon they got back into their game.
I don't expect Roma to lose this match, but if Porto gets more chances from long balls that are tricky, it seems the match could end in a draw.

[ajanwalker]

Az Alkmaar team could perhaps score 4-5 goals in the first half.  They scored 1 goal and it was a lucky goal. Sara hit Maikuma while trying to clear the ball and scored a goal.
Galatasaray team does not play football that will make it past the tournament. There aren't even any memorable goal positions. They waited for a foul once or twice and threw themselves on the ground, but the referee did not call them a foul because they were not Turkish.
Cuesta must leave the game in the second half. The pass percentage is very low.
Az Alkmaar can score more goals. I bet on 3.5 goals from live betting, let's see if the goals will come.

It's halftime already in the second leg of the knockout playoff game between AS Roma vs Porto with the home team leading with 2:1 on the night and 3:2 on aggregate. Samu Omorodion scored the first goal of the game before Paulo Dybala scored two quick goals to put the Italian side ahead. After playing out a 1:1 draw in the first leg in Portugal, I had already told us here that it'll be very difficult for Porto to win the tie.
Porto will come into the second half with the intention of equalizing and possibly get something out of the game but I don't think AS Roma will allow that happen. Three goals scored already in the first, I'll be expecting more goals in the second half for my viewing pleasure

[Adbitco]

Galatasary 0 Vs AZ Alkmaar 1, the away team is already leading the home side. I told someone here last week that AZ Alkmaar had a better game than Galatasary last week he still insisted it was because of the red card. He forgot that AZ Alkmaar were in control of the game and even scored two goals before the Gala player red card.
Today again, there's no red card but AZ Alkmaar looks like the team that's doing the damages. 6 shots on target in the first with a goal to show for it. To me, Galatasary were already out since last week after they lost 4 - 1, there was no way they were going to come back from that.

[Rruchi man]

I don't expect Roma to lose this match, but if Porto gets more chances from long balls that are tricky, it seems the match could end in a draw.

They have high spirits already; there should be three goals ahead. Porto are lucky for the break because Dybala is turning into the Mbappe of Real Madrid for Roma with one goal to a hattrick.

No hope for Galatasary; no way back, AZ Alkmaar are in control.

You can't fault Roma for having high spirits and I expect that this match will be tough but the Italian outfit will be up for it. They've picked up form so its more likely they will come out on top. They really need to, it's not like there's more Italian clubs in the competition.

I am not interested in the Galatasaray vs AZ Alkmaar match at all. Because in the home match we saw Alkmaar win by a huge margin of 4-1. So Galatasaray has no chance of qualifying for the next round. I thought today's match was more likely to be a draw. But it seems that we will see AZ Alkmaar win in today's away match as well.

AZ Alkmaar was leading 1-0 at the end of the first half. And at the beginning of the second half the team was able to take a 2-0 lead. But now Osimhen has managed to score a goal for Galatasaray. Even then I do not see the possibility that Galatasaray will win the match. Alkmaar is a very strong team. So far the team has made 19 shots and 9 of them were on target. Galatasaray's players are struggling to resist Alkmaar's attacks.

Roma and Porto have great playing spirit. Even after 1 Porto player went out due to a red card, they still played quite well although not as good as in the first half. They also still have some chances. Dybala is a player whose movement really makes it difficult for Porto players. The distribution of the ball given is very good. With the current advantage, Roma seems to be playing at a more relaxed tempo. Roma should be able to win and qualify.

[bitgolden]

While I do believe that this new squad, with new additions, and three players coming back from being booked, Galatasaray will have what it takes to win this game. So betting on them to win is the easy part, I did that already. However, if we are talking about going to the next stage? A three goal gap is way too much to cover, sure it has been done before, and there is absolutely no reason why it can't be done now neither.

But if you look at Galatasarays games, you will see that they do not have the best defense, which means there is a high chance they will concede one or two goals, and that means even if they score three goals on this game, it will probably not be enough. Hence, my assumption is that they will win the game, but lose the series.

The match has come to an end, and it came exactly as I expected, which ended up in a win for AS Roma. They won with a score of 3-1, which in aggregate is equivalent to 4-2. The game was somehow not easy for AS Roma from the beginning, but still they won the game, and Porto even got a red card on Stephen, which was in the early second half, and they played the full second half with 10 players on the pitch. It was a really amazing performance from both teams, and it still came as expected because I have never thought AS Roma would lose a home game, and it came as expected, so kudos to them.

Roma have scored their third goal to seal up their victory and qualification to the round of 16. Porto captain E. Eustáquio got a direct red card due to the frustration from Roma players and he wanted to fight on the field. The was how Bryan Cristante got a red card in the first leg in Portugal. Roma defense was strong today. Congratulations to them.

The match between AS Roma and Porto ended 3-2 (not 3-1) and the aggregate result was 4-3.
As Roma conceded an own goal at stoppage time, but that was enough for Porto.

Anyway, As Roma qualified for the round of 16 and they will face Athletic Bilbao or Lazio.

I can't imagine what it would be like if Porto would play with 11 players until the end of the match. I'm sure the match could have ended with extra time or even be very dangerous for Roma. We can see how Porto played with 10 players but in crucial minutes were able to score 1 more goal. This means that Porto has a very strong performance and if Stephen didn't get a red card, I'm sure Roma would feel pressured when playing at home.

With this performance I have doubts that in the last 16 Roma will likely fail. Maybe it's too early to say this but Roma's performance still looks bad to face a stronger opponent.
