UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

[Lida93]

Tottenham must fight hard to win at AZ Alkmaar to make it easier for them when they host the second leg. In my opinion, the only obstacle that Tottenham will face is that AZ Alkmaar are quite strong and have not lost at home this season. They could spring a surprise like they did when they knocked out Galatasaray, but Postecoglou will have to push his side to perform above par if they are to keep their place in the first leg safe.

In this game I would have called for a win for Tottenham but if they could get the least draw at the end it would be an upper hand for them when they host AZ Alkmaar in England but, am just skeptical about Tottenham making this happen due to the inconsistency. They could come into this game the concede early goals which could distabilize them from containing AZ Alkmaar who are with a specialty in counter attacks in this competition and compounding with their unbeaten home record it makes it more harder to root for Tottenham on winning this game.

[Mr.sprin]

Tottenham is not in its best form right now even in the Premier League this season Tottenham's performance is very bad so I do not have high expectations for Tottenham in the last 16 match against AZ Alkmaar especially AZ Alkmaar is a strong team when playing at home and they are in high confidence because they were able to win convincingly and eliminate Galatasaray in the play off round.

I am a little surprised by the odds that are quite tempting for AZ Alkmaar's victory in the match later, it indicates that AZ Alkmaar is not so favored even though if we look at the possibility of AZ Alkmaar to be able to win quite large, odds @ 3.2 for AZ Alkmaar's victory in the match later I think it is worth betting on.

That's what often happens among us, we are too quick to judge a team weakly without seeing when they compete in the middle of the field, sometimes clubs that don't have a famous name are able to play and compete perfectly, we should never judge them as incapable because their club name is not as famous as other clubs.

In my opinion, the match between Tottenham and AZ Alkmaar today was very impressive, especially AZ Alkmaar as the host in today's match, with full confidence they were able to beat Tottenham with a decent score, because they had to beat with a score that was not too ambitious, so that the next match at Tottenham's home ground did not overwhelm AZ Alkmaar.

[Obari]

But for me Manchester United will try their best in the European league to win even though the opponents they face are quite strong but I am sure they will show their best game. In addition, Manchester United only have one chance for them to penetrate the Champions League so Amorim must take advantage of the European League as best as possible to win both legs in the last 16.

Real Sociedad is indeed a strong opponent but in the statistics of the meeting where Manchester United managed to win two wins when facing Sociedad so there is good capital for the Amorim squad to steal a victory in the first leg. But Manchester United's shortcomings of course they do not have a qualified striker and their defense line is also not strong enough.

The Europa League is tonight, Manchester United faces the Spanish side, Real Sociedad. We know the suspense that will happen in this game. The fans should stop been pessimistic about the current condition of the Red Devils. A club do experience hardship towards encountering winning games and there's every possibilities for this particular club to handover streak winnings incoming games. The club's coach is working tirelessly to make this happen. Manchester United are bantering consecutive challenges this season, it'd been one rough road for the Red Devils this season and this is grandly becoming a tough spot to transform the club. Ruben Amorim will be held responsible for the poor performance of the club and also the good part where the club is doing quite well.

[Richbased]

The Europa League games are already underway and from the look of things, we might be seeing a lot of goals in today's matches because currently, AZ Alkmar is winning Tottenham by 1:0 and regardless that they still have a long way to go before the game ends but i think Tottenham will find it difficult in this match because with how AZ Akmar knocked out Galatasaray, i'm worried if Tottenham can be able to hold them at least to a draw because they have this energy when they are playing in their home ground but if Tottenham can overturn the result before full time then they gonna earn my respect. In another game between Fenerbahce against Rangers, Fenerbahce is losing 1:0 already but they need to opth their game and ensure they don't experience a home defeat so Jose Mourinho should know how to energize his boys boys so that they don't end up disappointing him tonight.

AZ Alkmaar is leading Tottenham by a goal to nill as bergvall scored an own goal, AZ Alkmaar has been impressive in the Europa League ad they where impressive against Galatasary in the playoffs so am not reay surprised about the because Tottenham has not been in their best firm for a while now.

Tottenham is in total control of the game as they have 66% of the ball possession in the game but has only managed to get about three  attempts on goal and only one shot on target, Tottenham should be more on the attack because with the way they are playing they are only controlling the game but not been creative in front of goals and you can't score goals like that

If you continue to be proud of history without achieving success after that it will be a story that is not so interesting and this happened to Manchester United because for the past few seasons they have been a very weak team. In terms of quality, the two are not that different at this time and it may be difficult to predict who will win the match. But Manchester United will travel to Real Sociedad's home ground and the result of the first leg will be enough to determine the steps of both teams to qualify for the next round.

The defeat from Barcelona is not a reference because they did face a much stronger team, but look at how Manchester United performed in the Premier League and it does not at all show the quality of the team as a candidate for the title.

The difference for United is that they still make a good chunk of money even when they are not successful. That kind of money makes it possible for them to be good at any given season, we haven't seen them be that good for a long time, we haven't seen them win a title in many many years, but at least we have seen them get better, because they have money.

Every single year, they are capable of spending 100+ million if they want to, not that many teams in the entire world can do that, I would say there is probably a dozen teams or less that can spend 100+ million for 10+ years in a row if they want to, doesn't mean they will, just means they can if they want to. So that makes them a team that has a history, but also a potential too.

Tottenham becoming more and more of a dissapontment. The Europa league has been filled with surprises that man utd match is been wavy to me. Manchester united are getting used to losing but they may give real sociedad a surprise. They lost their last h2h to sociedad maybe they can have their revenge today.

[Adbitco]

Manchester United vs Real Sociedad will be a very competitive match between these two teams, both teams are very close in terms of strength. However, the bettors have placed low bets on Manchester United, this season Manchester United is not having a good performance.
So in today's match I can't guess which team can win, both teams have squads full of experienced players. But let's guess?

This game certainly will be high in sparks, Manchester United in search of a redemption after a terrible season in the Premier League, but which I say, they are two or three season that really sucks
The Real Sociedad which aims to become the 4 team strong in the Liga, in my opinion it will be a good match. Or better, i hope this is going to be a good match

There teams that are way stronger than Real Sociedad in Spain apart from the big 3, we have Athletic Club, Villarreal and even Real Betis is way stronger than them. That's by the way though. HT right now and as the game is going, Real Sociedad is doing most of the playing and dominating the visitors but it's Manchester United that's making the attempts to try and score. Real Sociedad is not really threatening the Manchester United defence as at first half. Let's see what bot teams will do in the second half of the game.

[AmaGold70]

Is already first half and Manchester united didn't play like a team that wants winning in the game no single force at all. However with the way they are playing if they didn't change their parterm in this second half they might likely end up in playing 0-0 draw with Real Sociedad in this game, or even though losing because their performance is totally not impressive at all.

Manchester United will definitely try their best to win. Because the performance of this team in the Premier League is very weak. It will not be possible to be in the top 10 of the Premier League table. So Manchester United will try their best to win the Europa League title.

However, Real Sociedad is not a weak team. This team is also very strong on the Europa League platform. Moreover, today's match is Real Sociedad's home match. Naturally, it is very difficult for Manchester United to win this match. In the first half, we did not see any team score a goal. However, Manchester United's players attacked more than Sociedad's players. Hopefully, the second half will be more exciting. However, I doubt whether Manchester United's players will be able to break Real Sociedad's strong defense.

So in today's match I can't guess which team can win, both teams have squads full of experienced players. But let's guess?

Looking at the lineups and substitute players, one would think that Manchester United won't succeed in winning this game, but from the first half performance, I think I'm a little convinced that the game would end in Manchester United's favour cause they're defending and pressing very well and their players are still very active to continue the second half which mean that Amorim needs not to worry much about the lack of depth in the substitution.

 So far, Manchester United have created more and better chances than the team, they've missed good opportunities too and if they maintain this standard in the second half, hopefully they'll get a goal or two. However Tottenham that I hoped to find it more easier to win against Az Alkmaar are having serious difficulties in their match and have even  conceded and own goal which has put Az Alkmaar in front in the first half.

[stompix]

I switched from the FCSB match in the background, since they were the underdogs in the competition, and from other unrelated reasons I can't stand Lyon, I said it, let's see if they can make a surprise, but this was painfully to watch, they almost had it in the 8th mine and god that would been a surprised and changed the whole thing but after...neah, I'm better watching Fenerbahce getting destroyed by Rangers.

And while we're at 1:2, then 1:3 and again 1:2 again as I type, as VAR said no goal, who put a bet on Fener at 1.6, the lowest odds for any favorite this round?

It was a boring first half because both teams are playing like shit. United is even attacking better than Real Sociedad and they gat no good finisher, if not United should have broken the deadlock by now.

Gooaaallllllllll. Zirkzee has just put the ball into the back of the net with a clean finish on the 58th minutes of the game. The match is currently 0-1.

Finally, the visitors are in front. Yeah, it was boring in the first half of the game but now the teams are coming alive. Manchester United resilience has finally paid off as they have opened the scoring for the night. 5 shots on target at least one should enter the back of the net. Manchester United might actually win this game here.

The match between Manchester United VS Real Sociedad has been going on for 64 minutes, and Man United continues to try to put pressure on Real Sociedad's defense line, and produces quite good results, J. Zirkzee managed to score a goal against Real Sociedad right in the 57th minute, thus bringing a temporary advantage for Manchester United, where the score is now 1-0. and hopefully Manchester United will not only be able to maintain that score, but they will also be able to increase their advantage to prevent Real Sociedad from equalizing, because considering the remaining time is still quite long so anything can still happen.

[Jody.Drummer]

A goal from Zirkzee temporarily put Manchester United in the lead. They seemed to play well in this match, they also did not allow Real Sociedad to be able to freely attack that would endanger their defense.
They still have to focus if they want to bring home the victory. There is still enough time for them to have to respond and they can also turn things around. Usually towards the end of the match is a very crucial time.

Tonights Ajax – Eintracht Frankfurt Europa League meeting is gonna be riveting. Ajax are focused on that attacking high possession style and they like to play quick passes and execute some creative maneuvers in order to take control of the game. A glance at the opposite end of the spectrum: Eintracht  is extremely disciplined

If Ajax can notch some early goals and break through Frankfurt’s organized defense, I think they will take hold of it. however, no doubt Frankfurt could get a few quick counter attacks breaks going and snag a goal or two. All in all, considering Ajax’s strength and their strong pedigree in Europe, I’d lean to a 2-1 win for Ajax.

Neither of Ajax or Frankfurt have been favored in this game. I'm seeing this as a battle of consistency. I personally pick Eintracht instead of Ajax, and their defense is a key to win this away game.

I know you may be favoring Ajax coz they're always playing offensive, but come on bro, Eintracht's attack was not as bad as you said. They scored 14 goals, which was only 2 goals less than ajax during the qualifier. They're better in defence.

Talking about the odds, the gap is pretty small, though. Its's hard to know who's the winner so i pick my safe bet (BTTS). No matter what club is winning the game, all of them will score.

With Eintracht's defense, you're onto something; yet, let's not pretend they are a rock-solid wall here. 10 goals conceded in just 8 matches? It is not "better in defense". That is less horrible than Ajax. And they simply were destroyed by Leverkusen (4-1) and Bayern (4-0). That team lacks the ability to stop elite attacks

Now, the BTTS bet, yes, I am with you. Ajax back home? Goals are coming, no doubt. Frankfurt's "better defense" is still leaking, though, and I cannot see them maintaining a clean sheet against Brobbey and Bergwijn either

If you are choosing Frankfurt based on consistency, but... where is the consistency? Their midfield is still developing post-Marmoush; they have not won away in four games; they are bleeding goals. Ajax is unstable against larger teams, so the only reason they seem competitive is that; this is neither Bayern or Leverkusen

Safe bet? Yes, BTTs. But Frankfurt winning? Not a safe choice, that is a gamble

Well you would have to hold that thought because it's not even long and the home team have equalized the game making it 1-1 and with the way the both teams are playing currently it's definitely looking like a draw because the game is really boring from the way they both playing. Manchester united don't really have a good record with Spanish teams because they tend to be losing always against them.

[wmaurik]

But for me Manchester United will try their best in the European league to win even though the opponents they face are quite strong but I am sure they will show their best game. In addition, Manchester United only have one chance for them to penetrate the Champions League so Amorim must take advantage of the European League as best as possible to win both legs in the last 16.

But Manchester United's shortcomings of course they do not have a qualified striker and their defense line is also not strong enough.

It should be a balanced match because Real Sociedad and Manchester United have almost equal strength this season because both have not found their best performance and that can be seen from the performance of both teams in their respective domestic competitions.
However, because Real Sociedad is playing at home, they are slightly favored, but overall, if you look at the performance of both teams, I am sure there will be a fierce match and anything can happen.
And what happened in the past I think will not have a big influence, this is an away match for Manchester United so don't expect too much from them.

[Minor Miner]

Manchester united don't really have a good record with Spanish teams because they tend to be losing always against them.

After seeing the performance of both teams in the first half, I thought that neither team would be able to score in this match. The match would end in a 0-0 draw. In the 57th minute of the second half of the match, Manchester United took the lead through Zirzkee's goal. However, Real Sociedad equalized the match in just 13 minutes. The goal was scored from a penalty by Mikel Oyarzabal.

The match ended in a 1-1 draw. I would say that this was the expected result. Both Real Sociedad and Manchester United are almost equally strong. And both teams are trying to win the Europa League title. At the same time, the performance of both teams is irregular. So no particular team can be considered as a favorite in this match.
