Topic: UEFA Conference League 2023/24 Season (Read 3926 times)

Yeah from the first leg we can see Aston Villa and Fiorentina are in a difficult situation because the second leg they will play away, I can't say anything as a reason to motivate because they had missed the opportunity in the first leg. Aston Villa must win with a difference of 2 goals in the next match while Olympiacos only needs a draw and that's not a difficult thing when they play in front of their supporters meaning Olympiacos has full support to go to the final.

The same thing applies to Fiorentina even though Fiorentina won the first leg, the difference of 1 goal was not safe enough and Club Brugge has a chance to catch up. Yeah here I can say both teams have almost the same chances 55:45 well Fiorentina must be able to do something to take over or Club Brugge will do it. Indeed, Fiorentina still has a chance to go to the final, but it is not easy when playing as the away team in the second leg.

Yes indeed, I also did not expect Aston Villa to lose at home with a score of 2-4 like that because of course, Aston Villa is a team that is favored to win and not Olympiacos.With a big defeat like this, then I think it could be that Aston Villa will fail to turn things around in the second leglater because after all, in the second leg later also Aston Villa will play away. Of course, Olympiacos will also make a good effort to be able to maintain the aggregate victory, moreover Olympiacos will also play at home so the support for Olympiacos will be fully owned in the second leg later.

About Fiorentina defeating Club Brugge, but I think it's not easy for Fiorentina to win in the home match. Because anyway, the goal winner for Fiorentina also happened in injurytime,while Club Brugge only played with 10 players since the 61st minute. Although Club Brugge only played with 10 players but in fact Club Brugge also managed to make an equalizer to 2-2 but unfortunately, Club Brugge still failed because they conceded in the 90+1 minute and the match ended with a score of 3-2. With results likethis, then I think Club Brugge still has a chance to be able to turn things around in the secondleg later because yes, I think Club Brugge also still has a chance and a good performance to get a goodresult in the second leg later at home.

I have to be agreed about this was embarrassing defeat, but this was not surprising specially those watch the defeat of Liverpool against Atlanta few days back because soccer is funny game, and we can expect results like these with UEFA is also having history of results like these Aston Villa having well control, but two early goals bring them down and then in early minutes of the second half we have another session of goals which give them no time for having any recovery from this humiliating defeat.

Even we are still having chance for both sides but Olympiacos will be on better side and can qualify for the final which could be good reward of their impressive performance in this first leg at the Villa Park which give huge shock and now mountain to climb for the spot into final which is surely not easy while they are doing their best for having spot into top four as well.

The result of the Aston Villa vs Olympiacos match was beyond all of our expectations, after Aston Villa managed to beat strong teams in the Conference League such as Ajax and Lille, of course they became one of the favorites to win the Conference League trophy this season, while Olympiacos is certainly just an underdog who is only lucky to be lucky to reach the semi-finals after undergoing an easy match before,  Looking at the odds (Aston Villa Win 1.44, Draw 4.75, Olympiakos Win 6.50) given by the bookies before the match started, of course it indicates that Olympiacos is not a team that is expected to beat Aston Villa, so I am sure for now many of us have indeed lost money after betting for Aston Villa victory.

To be honest, with the quality, performance and also supported by the experience possessed by Unay Emery, of course it is not difficult for Aston Villa to beat Olympiacos, especially Aston Villa playing at home so that moral support for them is also very large from fans, but in fact we see if all that does not guarantee for Aston Villa to get a victory in the match, With a 2-4 aggregate of course it's difficult to turn things around but I think Aston Villa still have hope of doing it in the second leg.

Aston Villa destroyed so many bets last night that everyone was shocked. Probobly the most easiest match lost and it was just a huge shame and i think that the difference of two goals is really hard to make up. I dont think Unai Emery can make something up to try and turn the second leg around. If you want to win a european trophy you cannot play on this level.

Quite surprising Aston Villa lost out that way and infront of their home fans. Well this shows that the English team will really have a lot to do next season in Europe because this season hasn’t been the best for them. ⁠They were lots of confidence on this Villa side being able to defeat Olympiacos but the reverse was the case here as Olympiacos were able to comfortably thrash out this Villa side with them scoring over 4 goals which is quite an impressive stats.

 Aston Villa were in control of the game but I think them not being clinical in front of goal cost them the game. Well you can call it over already for them because they might not be able to defeat this informed Olympiacos side at home due to their excellent record while playing at home. Fiorentina on the other end were able to get the job done against Club Brugge as this puts them one leg in the finals already as they wait to seal up the job in the 2nd leg.

 ⁠Fiorentina were able to control the game and make sure they get the win and I think the red card helped them because this club brugge side didn’t look like they came to joke. Well itsup to the 2nd leg to be the major determinant of who plays in the finals and I cant wait to see Fiorentina in the finls again.

It is clear that Fiorentina and Olympiakos have great potential to advance to the final after winning the first leg match, they have already put one foot in the final. The chances of Aston Villa and Club Brugge turning things around are relatively low, especially for Aston Villa who have to chase down a 2 goal deficit. Of course we didn't expect Unai Emery squad, which was the favorite to win, to actually collapse, Olympiakos managed to break some predictions and make bettors suffer losses. I predict that if Olympiakos advances to the final and faces Fiorentina there, it is very likely that the Greek representatives will win the championship trophy this season.

Fiorentina were actually finalists last season, and the Serie A representatives definitely have a good mentality to realize their ambitions. However, when faced with another reality, where Olympiakos was able to get rid of Aston Villa who were much more favored, then we would think twice about saying that Fiorentina would be able to win the trophy. However, this is just a personal assumption, and can be it is possible that the next scenario will change completely, and surprises may occur again. We are of course aware that there are no guarantees here, but what is clear is that if Aston Villa were eliminated it would be the biggest surprise.

Fiorentina 3 - 2 Club Brugge isn't a decent result for Fiorentina because Fiorentina is considered stronger than Club Brugge and is playing at home. I don't know for sure the rules for this competition, do the rules for the difference between home & away results still apply? such as if Club Brugge wins with a score of 1 - 0 in the second leg they will be the winners.

On the other hand, I also didn't expect Aston Villa to be beaten by a big score at Villa Park, they almost secured their position for the UCL next season, why don't they just focus on the UECL which they might be able to get this season?

Previously I personally bet on Aston Villa's victory against Olympiacos, before the game started, of course there are no of us here who do not favorite Aston Villa as the winner, because indeed Aston Villa has everything they need to be the winner in the game, but in fact yesterday they almost suffered a humiliating defeat by Olympiakos, playing at home certainly adds to our confidence if Aston Villa will be able to beat Olympiacos with a big score because indeed the quality and performance of the two teams at this time are really inversely proportional, but the surprise given by olympiakos certainly made some of us here have lost money in the match.

While in other matches, Fiorentina was also previously considered to have an easy match against Brugge, but in fact Fiorentina also almost got a draw at home, but fortunately Nzola's goal in the final minute made Fiorentina win with a narrow score of 3-2, for now it seems that it will be difficult to guess who will qualify for the final round after seeing the results of the first leg played.

Definitely most people got surprised by what they saw.    I mean the whole world bet on Aston Villa to win this match but it was an embarrassing kind of loss. I have no idea how they can do this even home. Because they are normally wonderful in home matches this season. If I'm not wrong they didn't even draw in the Conference League matches they played so far also.

Olympiacos were really bad against Fenerbahçe. This is the main reason why I was shocked to see this score yesterday. Will Emery really lose to them in a season like this?

Fenerbahçe fans must be really disappointed to see this result.  :/

Indeed, Olympiacos have much more experience in European competitions than Aston Villa and just with the arrival of Unai Emery it seems that Aston Villa has always played at such a high level.
That's what it means to do your job perfectly, like Unai Emery, when it seems that it has always been this good. Even the bookmakers forgot that Olympiacos is a much more experienced team in European competitions than Aston Villa and gave out immeasurably higher odds for Olympiacos to win and those Greek fans who believed in their team and were not afraid to place their bets were clearly able to make good money.
The next match will be just as competitive, which means that Aston Villa still have a chance to win the match.   

I didn't see that game but did follow the scores, but good lord!! I was perplexed with that results from them, infact to win with these numbers on the road is such a good thing to see.
Aston Villa must be fatigued due to that hard game they played against Chelsea during the weekend. It must have had an effect on the players definitely.

Florentina I expected much because last season they was second runners up during this sane Competition as West Ham United went ahead to win the finals.
I feel like it's them season to win it, since a club like Aston Villa ( Unai Emery ) and his squad are currently fumbling.
During the second leg of this fixture, I'm sure that they will defend very well to make sure they make it to the finals and that would be great for the home fans to witne.

To be honest, I also thought that Aston Villa was going to win the game yesterday because Aston Villa sometimes performs in a very exciting way that you can’t imagine, but after the game started I was disappointed in Aston Villa's performance, I was told yesterday by someone that Olympiacos is also very strong opponent but I did not believe it because the way Aston Villa played in premier league game sometimes and defeat some big teams is giving me confidence that they can do well in Europa conference league.

Aston Villa is the only English team that remains in any European league and they are also about to lose to Olympiacos, the second leg of the match is going to be tough for Aston Villa, because Olympiacos is leading with two goals presently and the next match Olympiacos will be very strong because of the two goals they are leading Aston Villa with, I think let just assume that Aston Villa is out from this Europa conference league.

In the other match of the day, Club Brugge, who took the lead in the league, faced fiorentina away.We can say that Fiorentina is the heavy favorite in this match.Fiorentina, who managed to win at home, got an advantageous result to pass the round. We can say that the fact that their opponent was down to 10 men also played a role in this win.Although they managed to win with a last minute goal, it still seems risky for them to pass the round.I do not expect the winner of this match to win the cup.The winner of the cup will most likely be the winner of the Aston Villa-Olympiakos match.

This game that surprised me. however, It was a comfortable and expected win for a team that operates at a much higher level than the overhyped team, as evidenced by the outcome. I've been following Villa's games this season, and I've always had faith in Douglaz Luiz when it comes to taking penalties. His teammates trust him too, given his flawless record of scoring all his previous penalties this season. However, last night, he missed one. It was a forgettable night for Aston Villa against Olympiacos. Let's be honest, European competitions can be tough for inexperienced teams. Olympiacos has more experience than Aston Villa, especially in European competitions. They're a seasoned side in these tournaments. I wouldn't mind seeing Olympiacos make it to the final and clinch the win.

Aston Villa was the favorite to win the conference league before yesterday's match and the odds for Olympiacos to win were 6.5 so you can say that even the bookmakers did not believe it and even when Olympiacos led 2:0 it seemed that Aston Villa was still saving and then Aston Villa was still saving and then Aston Villa evened the score 2:2 through the efforts of Diaby and Watkins, but then Douglas Luis at first fouled and Olympiacos earned a penalty that was realized and led in the score, and at the end Douglas Luis himself could not score a penalty and in fact reduced to a minimum the chances of Aston Villa to win and get into the next stage.

Today I read about the coach of Olympiacos and it turns out he won the Europa League with Sevilla last year.

The bookmakers even give low odds for Aston Villa because they are the favourite and indeed most were predict Aston Villa will be the winner of this match especially during at home Aston Villa always be performing well but surprisingly Olympiacos can displayed fantastic performance and they even can scores 4 goals in this match and actually Aston Villa has a chance to scored because they got penalty kick but unfortunately Aston Villa player was failed to utilized that to scored and after this result Olympiacos probably will be advances to the final match because for second leg they will playing as a host and i am sure Olympiacos will be able to beat Aston Villa again later

For other match although Fiorentina was win from Club Brugge but i don't think their position will be automatically safe because for second leg Club Brugge still have any chances to reversed the situation and yesterday Fiorentina almost be playing draw but luckily after Onyedika got a red card Fiorentina can control the game and M'Bala Nzola was became an hero of this match with his goal at the second half of injury time and actually i was a bit dissapoint to see Fiorentina performance because before this match i was hoping they can win with big scores from Club Brugge

I was surprised as well because many people are saying the final will be between Aston Villa and Fiorentina, saying that Fiorentina still have unfinished work because last season they played against West ham in the final and they were defeated and they considered Aston villa to be the opponent since they had a good time this season, still in this era of football conclusions can not be drawn early because things can change, so let us wait for the second leg.

I consider Fiorentina winning as normal because if we checked their previous games most of the victory they secured was through home games, so i still have doubt in their qualifying to the final despite the home victory the got because Club Brugge don't joke with home matches, since the beginning of the season they only had one lose and they will not plan to have another.

Our predictions goes sideways and that's inaccurate on our ends, losses are made at the end of the Conference league matches. I blamed Unai Emery and his players for missing out on golden opportunities to put themselves in front and having terrible errors which led to goals. The visitors mastered the weak spots of Aston Villa and used it against them. Olympiacos surprised everyone tonight after winning the Villans in the first leg and we have the second leg which will be tougher for the English side.

For Olympiacos to display such performance against Aston Villa that people think they will win the match, it is a sign that they can win the Conference League ahead of any other team because four goals in a semifinal second leg is a good goal margin.

Talking about club Brugge case, I think they have a good game today even though they couldn’t level the score against Fiorentina at home; but there are indications that they will be very serious at home which if they succeeded will lead them to finals.

I don’t have confidence in them, I will prefer Fiorentina vs Club Brugge in the finals.
