UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

I wish Fenerbahçe good luck in their rematch against Rangers because they will really need it. 

I mean they played terrible in the 1st leg if you watched the game. I was even expecting a win by them with scores like 2-0, 3-0. What did change after facing Anderlecht and beating them easily?    They aren't very different than Rangers in fact. I mean their league phase performances were nearly the same. But Mourinho's same strategies didn't work vs Rangers. Now he needs to take much bigger risks. If we see the same Fenerbahçe from the 1st leg of the Anderlecht matchup then I believe in them for a comeback. Otherwise no...

It is hard to believe that Rangers can win convincingly in the first leg by two goals, Fenerbace played very badly in the first leg especially in defense, even though they played in front of their own fans. Kudos to Rangers for taking their chances which ultimately made Fenerbace struggle in the second leg.

Rangers in the domestic league are not that good, they are far behind Celtic. However, Rangers always appear impressive in the European league. Basically, they are better at counterattacking against teams in Europe, where they get more space to exploit, and this happened in the first leg. I think Jose Mourinho will learn from the defeat in the first leg.

Mou also said, This is not over, there is still the second leg if his team does not repeat the mistakes in the back line. In the second leg Mourinho will certainly apply a different strategy so that their game is more creative in creating opportunities to score goals, especially Fenerbace has quality and experienced players such as Dzeko and El Nesyri, of course they will show their best abilities. So, Rangers are not safe yet, because Fenerbace still have 90 minutes to create a miracle.

Not long ago, Tottenham and United were the tournament favourites, but apparently their "successes" in the Premier League forced the bookmakers to make their odds more reasonable. I don't know if Sociedad and AZ can knock them out, but I believe in Sociedad more. United had a grueling game with Arsenal, so maybe they won't have time to refocus on the Europa League. Besides, the overall result against Arsenal is positive, so it is difficult to expect United to show two positive results in a row  

Keep focusing on the bookmakers,  they're not always right for real. Az will have to sit back, contain Tottenham Hotspur and hit them with counter attacks otherwise they'll be gone on Thursday night if they decide to come all out against Tottenham Hotspur away from home. Anything can happen, they have a chance to qualify if they can just defend the goals they'll score. I'm positive Manchester United will wrap things up against Real Sociedad,  they  won't struggle to get the win.. bias aside,  they have what it takes to win this. Winning the Europa League Competition is the best shot they have so they could qualify for the Champions league. They are going all in for this shiiit.

Bookmakers are currently quoting this game as follows:

1.86 - 3.35 - 4.80

United are favourites, but they are a small favourite, with their chances of winning in regular time just over 50%. It makes sense that 14th place in the Premier League is still stronger than 11th place in La Liga, but we have seen United fail in even more obvious games on more than one occasion this season.
By the way, I thought more about the numbers and 1.86 looks unusually generous... apparently the bookmakers, as always, know more than us  

The difference in the odd between Manchester United and Real Sociedad is quite huge its not a small difference. United are favorites to win the league because of two solid reasons. First, their performance in the last premier league match against Arsenal was quite impressive. There was more attacking force to score goals even if they lost more quality chances during the stoppage time. Secondly if we compare their positions in the league table knowing full well that the EPL is more of a tougher league than the LaLiga.

Let me shock you Manchester United may not win the match if care isnt taking. And the bookmakers are also speculative when it comes to odd decision making. I wont agree that they know more than us.

One thing people don't know is that, is not odd that is playing the game rather it is humans that are playing, so what will determine if the bookmaker is right or wrong is if the game played according to how the odds where been given. By default Manchester united is the favorite and considering history too and lastly they are playing from home. Honestly speaking with you what Manchester united played Arsenal was unbelievable if not for the fact that Manchester united did not have a good finisher, they would have win Arsenal well and if they should play Real sociedad what they played Arsenal there's every tendency that Manchester united will qualify.

Odds do not play the games but odds are given based on the strength of the team and the current playing performance of the two team that are going to play and if you look at how book markers select the favourite in any game you will realize that they go a long way by carefully analyzing the possibilities of the two teams winning each other before they choose the possible team with a better chance of winning. Manchester United against Real sociedad is going to be decided by the team that is able to play better and score more goals and I don't know if Manchester United can repeat what they did against Arsenal during their last weekend game in their domestic league and if they are able to do that then they can have the opportunity of winning at home. Real sociedad is a great team they also know that United will be all out for them they will try to prove themselves and it Manchester United is not careful they will be defeated by Real sociedad.

AS Roma did not play well this season due to the mistakes of the previous coach, but after the change of coach AS Roma slowly found their identity again, they even realized that AS Roma has a big name so they should be able to be consistent in the European league, and this was proven in the first leg they managed to achieve perfect results. Basically the coach used to be bad, then finally after changing coach Ranieri AS Roma's game was good again.

So I'm sure under Ranieri AS Roma can rise again especially since they have quite good players, especially Dybala. In the second leg even though Bilbao is very favored, it doesn't mean they can easily beat AS Roma, we know Ranieri is a very experienced coach, he certainly has his own way to face Bilbao who will definitely play openly in the second leg because they will look for a quick goal to catch up on the aggregate. AS Roma in this match will definitely play defensively by only relying on counterattacks. So I'm sure AS Roma will be able to get through the second leg and advance to the next round.

Roma did not play well this season, but I can't help but think that they have a great chance here against Bilbao because Bilbao is looking so great that the majority of people thought they would not lose against Roma in the first game. But not only did they lose, they also were inferior in many of the most important statistics and that surprised me because they have been playing so well in La Liga.

Now in my opinion teams like Roma and Bilbao benefit a lot from playing at home. I don't if this can statistically be proven, but from the top my head I think I remember many games when teams like Roma and Bilbao had these crazy comebacks or home games with their own fans backing them. That is why I think this is one of the most interesting Europa League games this week. Both clubs with great traditions, greated audiences and if both teams are in great shape, they can play some awesome and highly emotional football.

Real Sociedad is not okay this period and even if we assume that Manchester United is sick then I will be surprised to see Real Sociedad outperform them in tomorrow's game. Their last match was against Sevilla and they lost it, they were humiliated by Barcelona in the last days. Manchester United got a draw in their last match against Arsenal which is very good in the my opinion.
I will go with the team that fails its supporters the whole time, Manchester United!

Both Manchester United and Real Sociedad are not ok this period and their performance this season is enough reason to prove that both teams doesn't deserve to get to the stage there they are right now in the Europa League competition but seeing how they have been playing poorly in their different league one can not pick the better side because Real Sociedad has lost so many games league lately and Manchester United has managed to secure draw but there is no change in their game play. Manchester United will play host to Real Sociedad regardless of their performance against Arsenal I still don't have enough conviction that Manchester United can win the game as they concede goals easily after scoring.

It is hard to believe that Rangers can win convincingly in the first leg by two goals, Fenerbace played very badly in the first leg especially in defense, even though they played in front of their own fans. Kudos to Rangers for taking their chances which ultimately made Fenerbace struggle in the second leg.

Rangers in the domestic league are not that good, they are far behind Celtic. However, Rangers always appear impressive in the European league. Basically, they are better at counterattacking against teams in Europe, where they get more space to exploit, and this happened in the first leg. I think Jose Mourinho will learn from the defeat in the first leg.

Rangers performed perfectly in the first Leg. They scored 3 goals and they were conceded 1 goal only. I think Rangers won't be defeated at home. Even Fenerbahce could win, Rangers should score goals as well. If I consider the match in the first Leg, I no doubt to say Rangers will qualify for the next round. It is difficult to score 3 goals without conceded goals, it is a home match for Rangers. They will play a more aggressive because it is their home match.

The performance in domestic sometimes doesn't determine the performance in international competition. In Europa league, it is true that Rangers perform well, it is quite different from their performance in Scottish premiership.

[Tamaperdana]

The situation of United and Sociedad is similar. We can  see weak performance from both teams in their own league. However, both teams are trying to win the Europa League title. The first leg match was very competitive . Both teams tried their best to win.

The second leg match is Manchester United's home match. However, considering the home match, Manchester United team cannot be called strong. Because in the home match too, we have seen Manchester united team lose to weak team. So it is impossible to predict which team will win this match with certainty. Both teams have the possibility of  winning. Betting on this match is risky.

Manchester United and Real Sociedad are both mid-table in their respective league, but there is spirit and confidence to be able to perform and achieve success outside the league as they have struggled here and that shows significant difference.
To really determine who will win in this decisive second leg match is indeed little difficult to predict, but Manchester United have greater chance of winning than Real Sociedad and I am sure Amorim has prepared his squad well, for the bet itself you can minimize the risk by choosing Double Chance with Manchester United win or draw and Under at the largest number.

If we look at the Sociedad VS Manchester United match in the first leg, I can say that the performance of both teams is quite balanced. So I think the 2nd leg will be a little difficult to predict this match. Because even though in the 2nd leg Manchester United will be the host, I am not sure if Manchester United can dominate the match easily. Because Sociedad will also definitely come to Manchester United's headquarters with a very mature plan. So it is certain that Sociedad should not be underestimated in this 2nd leg match. Because Sociedad could win this match, because I see Sociedad has a slight advantage in the front line compared to Manchester United. Therefore, if for example Sociedad appears with its best performance in this match, I am sure Sociedad has a great chance of winning this match. But the problem is whether Sociedad is able to perform well or not in this match. Because it is undeniable that visiting Manchester United's headquarters is something that will certainly be very difficult. Because it is certain that the stadium will be filled with Manchester United's fans. So Sociedad players will definitely be a little bit afraid of that. That's why I also feel hesitant to bet on Sociedad. Maybe the right solution for this match is to just do BTTS.

[Despairo]

Real Sociedad is not okay this period and even if we assume that Manchester United is sick then I will be surprised to see Real Sociedad outperform them in tomorrow's game. Their last match was against Sevilla and they lost it, they were humiliated by Barcelona in the last days. Manchester United got a draw in their last match against Arsenal which is very good in the my opinion.
I will go with the team that fails its supporters the whole time, Manchester United!

Real Sociedad lost against Sevilla because they're playing with 3 main lineup players and 8 second lineup players, hence they can't even beat weak team like Sevilla. They humiliated by Barcelona because one of their players got red card.

However, the first leg Real Sociedad met Manchester United in Reale Arena, it was tie in terms of performance.

So, if they failed to dominating in their home, the second leg, it's obviously Manchester United will dominate on the pitch. Hence it's not surprising they're the favorite in this match.

I believe that Roma will be champions, I know that the bookmakers are ignoring Roma, but if Roma eliminates Bilbao, then they could be champions, I see Roma as being stronger than many teams in that competition

Roma are experienced in UEFA Europa League and this one is a third season they are here with achievements two latest seasons with a final match two seasons ago and semi finals last season. They are strong and have been improving a lot with Ranieri, and have earned most points in Serie A in 2025 year. In Europa League, we can talk about Roma chance to be champion after they eliminate Bilbao, let's wait for several more hours and get back to this discussion.

AS Roma only needs a draw in the second leg to ensure they truly deserve to be contenders for the Europa League title. In my opinion, AS Roma journey to win the trophy will be much easier if their strength is ignored by other contestants, they can create surprises in every match. Claudio Ranieri once created a miracle with Leicester, perhaps that history will repeat itself. If AS Roma manages to lift the trophy, Claudio Ranieri will truly be a legendary manager who won a trophy in a unique way, as Jose Mourinho once said.

The condition is clear but it won't be easy for Roma, and they can look at Liverpool that needed a draw at their home stadium, but they failed at home and eliminated by PSG. Roma's task is more difficult than Liverpool's task because they will play home away in this second leg and Bilbao already shown their quality in Rome last week.

Roma only need a draw but Bilbao have good attacking power and at their home stadium, they will challenge Roma a lot there. Ranieri is very experienced and he used many alternative players last weekend in a match against Empoli as preparation for this big match with Bilbao. Hopefullly he can bring Roma to quarter finals in Europa League.

[Velvet78]

The odds given for the Athletic Bilbao - Roma matchup are like:



Athletic Bilbao are favoured to win the game. Okay, no problem there. But Roma are still given a serious chance for getting past this phase. I mean of course they have a 2-1 lead on aggregate. But isn't the odds given to them too low anyway? 

Honestly I still think Athletic Bilbao will be the advancing side. If they didn't get that red card in the first leg, I don't think they would lose. But I believe in them to extend the game to extra time in the worst case scenario.

Yeah Ranieri's Roma is really powerful but both sides are actually. That's why it wouldn't be surprising to watch even penalties.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Hopefullly he can bring Roma to quarter finals in Europa League.

I don't think Roma will make the same mistake as Liverpool. I have seen Roma's performance in the last few matches. We can really see an unprecedented improvement in the performance of this team. Roma has been winning for a long time in Serie A and this team is consistently able to play well. We also saw Roma's organized gameplay in the home match against Athletic Club and Roma won.
Bilbao's home match in the second leg. Of course, Bilbao will try their best to win. Such matches are naturally fiercely competitive. Both teams have the possibility of winning. Bilbao and Roma are not weak teams. Even then, I will put Roma ahead. However, my prediction is that the match will end in a 1-1 draw.

Besides, the overall result against Arsenal is positive, so it is difficult to expect United to show two positive results in a row 

As Manchester United showed a positive result in holding Arsenal in a drawing match in the Premier League, they can still display the same positivity when they face Real Sociedad, to at least win against them since they are the host team and the Europa League is the only league they have hope of lifting the trophy this season. If they fail to lift it, they have actually lost a lot this season, not making it to the top of the Premier League table, to contest for either Europa or Conference League next season.

Manchester united will win against  Real Scoiedad, it will be a tough game but Manchester united is at advantage since they are playing at home.
Manchester united season defend on this trophy they have to win it to get back to champions league foootball next season. They have to be at their best on Thursday night, Manchester united just have to score first and try to defend because their have  a very shaking defend, Real Sociedad play attacking football and are very fast on the ball, Casmiro and mainoo should play in the midfield to stop some counter on the defense.

Bilbao absolutely have to win at home.Roma have been in form in recent weeks and are on the rise.Bilbao have only lost to Atletico Madrid in recent weeks in the league.Of course Roma have a 2-1 advantage and they need to make the most of it.I think Bilbao will win the match but I think there is a very high chance that the match will go to extra time.
Lazio have a big advantage as they won the first match away and I don't think they have a chance to lose at home.I think they will pass the round comfortably.I expect the opponent to defeat them at home.

Bilbao lost by a narrow score in the first leg, so they have to score first to equalize first. They will play at home, they have to take advantage of that to be able to score a quick goal. It is true that AS Roma has improved a little lately, they will also definitely target not to lose in this match with the capital of the victory they got in the first leg, at least they will come with the target of a draw. AS Roma is also undefeated in the last 7 matches, only getting 1 result. draw only. That is a mental injection to continue the positive results they have recorded.

AS Roma will play at Bilbao's home ground in the second leg without a heavy burden after they won the first leg giving full hope that they will be able to repeat the victory in the second leg. AS Roma's temporary points are in a safe position while Bilbao must win if they want to continue to the next round, I think this is not an easy thing for Bilbao to beat AS Roma, Bilbao's advantage is playing at home and in this match there will not be many goals scored, this is very interesting, the competition will be even more difficult in the second leg.

Bilbao played well in Rome and it gives them a lot of confidence that they will be able to do better at their home stadium. PSG hours ago won in Anfield and Bilbao can be motivated from it as well. AS Roma have very good form recent weeks but Bilbao are not weaker than Roma and they are ready to equalize an aggregated result at least, before flippening it to have a ticket to quarter finals.

AS Roma will play at Bilbao's home ground in the second leg without a heavy burden after they won the first leg giving full hope that they will be able to repeat the victory in the second leg. AS Roma's temporary points are in a safe position while Bilbao must win if they want to continue to the next round, I think this is not an easy thing for Bilbao to beat AS Roma, Bilbao's advantage is playing at home and in this match there will not be many goals scored, this is very interesting, the competition will be even more difficult in the second leg.

AS Roma have very good streak from Serie A to Europa League and Bilbao is a big test for Roma but I think Ranieri with his experience will choose good strategies and tactics for Roma in the second leg. Bilbao can play well from attack to defense but Roma with advantage from the first leg can play counter attacks and they have enough good players for dangerous counter attacks against Bilbao. If Bilbao won't score in the first half, they will have to play more attacking in the second half, and it will be good opportunity for Roma to exploit Bilbao defense system.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

This is going to be one of the best game between two quality clubs while both will give their best in this game, but advantage could be with Athletic Bilbao because they have done good job in first leg game and their winning margin was also narrow while at home they can give good challenge to Roma. Roma is having good history in this event while their experience and consistency could be tested in case of having good end things could be surely on another level which are surely big success for them and their coach.

Both teams will definitely give their best in the second leg match and I think the coaching ability in handling the team professionally and experience can determine the result. Although Roma has a good history in the Europa League but there is no guarantee that they can easily beat Athletic Bilbao so Roma must try to put pressure early in the match so that the pressure can cause a little chaos in the Athletic Bilbao team.

The victory in the first leg is a good capital for Roma because they will have a much better mentality to win the match in the second leg even though the match will take place at Athletic Bilbao's home.

Manchester united will win against  Real Scoiedad, it will be a tough game but Manchester united is at advantage since they are playing at home.
Manchester united season defend on this trophy they have to win it to get back to champions league foootball next season. They have to be at their best on Thursday night, Manchester united just have to score first and try to defend because their have  a very shaking defend, Real Sociedad play attacking football and are very fast on the ball, Casmiro and mainoo should play in the midfield to stop some counter on the defense.

You mentioned Mainoo? unfortunately the player is still injured at the moment so he still can't participate in the match when Manchester United host Real Sociedad this week. I also want to see Manchester United win the match, but with Manchester United's current condition, I just hope the team can improve their ability in this competition until the end because the Europa League is a very good path for Manchester United if they want to return to the Champions League next season.
