For me main favorites are West ham and Fiorentina. West Ham is fighting to avoid relegation in Premier League, and now reached Conference League Semi-Finals. West-Ham fans are not happy with the results in the Premier League. This season, West-Ham will do their best to keep their fans happy at the Conference League. I think they are one step closer to the trophy than Fiorentina.
Az alkmaar managed to eliminate Anderlecht with a penalty shootout in the match, which ended 2-0 in regular time. Westham defeated Gent 4-1, the surprise team of this cup. Lech Poznan made the surprise of the day, beat Fiorentina 2-3 on the road, but was eliminated from the cup as he was defeated by a difference in the first match. The biggest surprise was that Nice lost to Basel 1-2 in overtime in the match, the regular time of which ended 1-1, and was eliminated from the cup. In this cup, my candidate for the championship is Az Alkmaar.
Fiorentina was a really wierd match they were losing 0-3 and it was a total result of 4-4 and once that happened they finally started to score the goals. It would have been a sensation if Lech knocked out Fiorentina. AZ also barely passed to the next faze,they should have finished the match in regular time
My favorite was West Ham United for a long time in this cup and they reached the semi-finals. I think they will pass AZ Alkmaar without difficulty. In the final, they will face Fiorentina or Basel. Although Fiorentina seems to be one step ahead, Basel is a team that shouldn't be underestimated. I'm sure West Ham United will win the final no matter who comes out. English clubs are much stronger than others. We see what they can do when they play this trophy seriously.

The Turkish teams were a big disappointment in this tournament unfortunately. The second legs were just terrible for Sivasspor and Basaksehir both.
Just look at the Basaksehir - Gent game I mean. Basaksehir conceded 4 goals in 7 minutes against Gent. It is really hard to believe because in the end Gent aren't a big team such as Bayern Munich etc.. Basaksehir could have played much better home. They just lost their focus very easily which cost them too much. Sivasspor also gave up against Fiorentina easily. Fiorentina are of course a more challenging team to beat compared to Gent but this was still winnable for Sivasspor. They could have extended the matchup to extra time at least.

For me its shocking all turkish teams were able to pass the group stage and every single teams was knocked out. They needed i think just one win too pass Serbia in the club rankings so they can have a team that goes directly to champions league. Another dissapointing season for turkish teams
there are 2 teams that are favorites to win in my opinion for the conference league this season, that is west ham and Fiorentina
Although there is some Turkish teams that have big names and attracting good players, they still fail to advance further in the European competitions. It is partially related to the lower performance of their rivals in Turkey and sometimes to the power of their European opponents.
What I mostly noticed is their fluctuating performance between the two legs. They can resist in one and fail in the other leg even when playing home.. This require a lot of work and efforts from the owners, managers and players..
I am following Turkish soccer for the years and feeling they are improving in all aspects but still things are not as we are looking from them because here bigger issue is finances and conditions which are not allowing Turk clubs to perform better in UEFA competitions they need to bring strong mentality for the wins and having good players as well even in last few years things are changing but still it's not easy to have all changes in short time because for me this still needs 10 to 15 years for bringing required changes with finances are also imported which will help them for having above the average players feel happy for playing here in this league.What I mostly noticed is their fluctuating performance between the two legs.

Basaksehir and Sivasspor were doing good but as they eliminated from this competition surely this is matter of concern because they were not bad as they have done in last games but again big difference is quality.

Sivasspor had drawn the toughest opponent. I can say that Sivasspor actually resisted well, but I can't say the same for Basaksehir. Basaksehir had the power to eliminate their opponent but failed to do so. The away draw had made Basaksehir the favorites, but their home game was a disgrace. They conceded 3 goals in 3 minutes and that was the decisive moment of the game.The team that lost 4-1 at home to an opponent they could have eliminated should not make any excuses.

Looking at the remaining teams in the Conference League, I see West Ham United as the serious favourites. I watched the matches played by Fiorentina, I liked them too. They beat Sivasspor by playing well. West Ham United could win this trophy if they take it seriously. Other teams are the average teams of Europe. I don't see a team that stands out. There is not much difference between them.
Roma is able to Next round after hold sociedad 0-0 on their home. Sociedad lost agregat 0-2 where make them lost the chance as host. Roma appeared quite impressive along the match, dybala and team almost create a score on 1st half but the situation change on 2nd half, the host look impresive to gibe the presure but still Not able to create a score because the roma defense is solid.
If this wasn't a night of big surprises I don't know what this is then,Villareal losing at home to a struggling Anderlecht in their home league and they come and win in Villareal in Spain,in Europa League Arsenal probably made a huge number of tickets lost because they could not win against Sporting at regular time and they are now playing penalties.
Except these big surprises tonight in European lower leagues compared to Champions League everything else went pretty smoothly with the other big teams qualifying comfortably and West Ham showed once again their supremacy in this competition.
There were plenty of surprises in Europa League with Arsenal and Union Berlin getting kicked off but also in Conference League where the situation isn't any better for several teams in fact. Except these big surprises tonight in European lower leagues compared to Champions League everything else went pretty smoothly with the other big teams qualifying comfortably and West Ham showed once again their supremacy in this competition.
I didn't expect at all to see Villarreal and Lazio leaving soon honestly!
Istanbul got a draw in the away game and lost with 3 goals difference home! Same thing with Sivasspor even though I didn't expect much from them since Fiorentina is better anyway.
West Ham showed the best performance and Nice is another competitor and contender for the title.

I've filled in the multibet for all the round of 16 second leg matches of today's conference league and I thought maybe this could be a reference for friends if anyone wants to place a bet, but please note bet small money or bet on as many matches as you think you have the chances of success are quite high.
Here I only use a small amount of $0.71 with total odds @30.59 with a payout of $21.85 and I have greatly minimized the risks involved by betting using decent odds.

They even have the luxury of getting a 0-0 or even losing 0-1 at London,of course this last result extremely highly unlikely but they can do it.I think that West Ham will not be very motivated and go the extra mile in London and I think based on the difference in quality between the leagues which is really gigantic I don't see Aek putting a lot of pressure on West Ham at London,sure they have got nothing to lose but they simply lack the power to attack a Premier League team.
Villareal surprised me with 1-1 result as they could have closed the qualification already in the first leg and now they will close it in the return leg which can be somewhat dangerous.
I highly doubt that they would. I mean we are talking about a big difference between the clubs and I do not see how they would be able to actually lose that much difference, I think they will win and this will be an easy round for them.Villareal surprised me with 1-1 result as they could have closed the qualification already in the first leg and now they will close it in the return leg which can be somewhat dangerous.
To be fair conference league was created because of this, teams like West Ham and Roma couldn't do well with europa, so they have this, last year it was Roma, who would have lost at Europa easily every round, but they won it all, West Ham looks like a team that is similar in that regard, and they may get an easy few rounds this way, and maybe face someone better at the very end if they are unlucky, maybe they won't even have that.
Well surely from the teams that have remained here in Conference League so far the favorites to win it are without a doubt West Ham,Villareal,Fiorentina,Lazio and Alkmaar,one of these two teams will be eliminated as they are facing each other so in this league I think it is a sure thing that this cup will either go to Italy,Spain or most likely in England as I think despite West Ham being in the near bottom of the standings in the Premier League they can beat most of the teams here and if they are favored by the draw the can surely go to the final.

West ham are always looking strong in this particular stage of the competition, last year west ham also did well and am just a bit confuse how they tend to perform very well during their European competition but when it comes down to their league match there are a bit shaky. With their current match score at two nil I feel they need to do less as they look set and ready for the next round because I believed they will certainly win the second leg match at their home stadium.
In the match statistics, Aek seems to have entered the positions, but as a result of the match, West Ham, which has Premier league experience, managed to win the score 2-0 in their favor. West Ham is one of the major favorites for the cup. They need to win the match in England differently, with plenty of goals.They even have the luxury of getting a 0-0 or even losing 0-1 at London,of course this last result extremely highly unlikely but they can do it.I think that West Ham will not be very motivated and go the extra mile in London and I think based on the difference in quality between the leagues which is really gigantic I don't see Aek putting a lot of pressure on West Ham at London,sure they have got nothing to lose but they simply lack the power to attack a Premier League team.

There are few goals in this tournament tonight. I don't think many teams will dare to take much risk. The biggest surprise so far came in the match that was already played on Tuesday, when AZ won 1-2 against Lazio Roma in Rome. Fiorentina is having a hard time at home against Sivasspor and it is still 0-0 there. That could very well be the final score in this match. Who would be the absolute top favorite to win the tournament? That was Lazio, but they have a serious problem with the defeat.
Fiorentina won their game vs Sivasspor with 1 goal. They played better and were dominating and deserved to win.When it comes to the favorite team, I find many in fact. There is Lazio although the recent defeat in the first leg, Fiorentina are quite good along with Villareal. The other teams should not be underestimated especially in this league.
The level of opponents face by Fiorentina is slightly lower than that face by Lazio, so it's no wonder to see them easily dominate the match. The 2nd leg match will be tighter because big teams like Lazio and Villarreal will work hard to turn things around to get a ticket to qualify for the next round.
