None of these competitive consider lesser, every coach and team are seriously contending for a title. These teams are lined out and it takes only confident team to make bold move to the final, we know how competitive it is and it would be. There are quite good numbers of elite teams but I'm sticking to the English competitive club, Aston Villa. They have proven their capacity this season by turning out to be major threats to elite teams in the English Premier League and meeting some opponents, it doesn't seem easy but the best team comes with thrilling victory.

For round of 16 i think the most interesting match is between Ajax vs Aston Villa because this season is the first time for Aston Villa to playing at European conference league and they can able to playing consistent and Aston Villa is being an group champion of group E and actually Aston Villa has starting group stages with the loses from Legia Warszawa but they can able to bounce back from upcoming matches with gets 4 wins and 1 draw these results is makes Aston Villa has 13 points and they can finish at first place above to Legia Warszawa and actually both teams can be considered as strong candidate of this competition but unfortunately they have to met early at round of 16

Compared to Ajax obviously Aston Villa is much better because at their domestic league or at this competition Aston Villa performance is quite stable even during group stages Aston Villa still unbeatable at their home with gets 3 wins but Ajax who previously has poor performance gradually can able to bounce back and their performance is much better now so Ajax cannot be underestimate because they potentially can make Aston Villa get in trouble and there was no head to head statistics between these teams before because this is their first time to met at European competition and this match is really hard to predicted because although Aston Villa performance is more stable than Ajax but Ajax is more experience to playing at European competitions but for first leg Ajax will playing as a host and if Ajax can able to overcomes Aston Villa then probably Ajax have good chances to advances to the quarterfinal stages

I don't see too much of these Turkish Series but Fenbache should have end up as winners of the fixture if I should give my honest opinion.
It's between Molde and Club Brugge, exactly two leagues I'd love to play for ahead somedays you see. Not so well to Brugge but they can do better.

Aston Villa are no match to Ajax whenever it comes to European Competitions, Ajax are three to four steps ahead of them even this season has been one challenging one for them. Ajax should win Emery though has more experience with the Europa League Competition.

It's obviously Lillie you feel me? They are meant to be winners. Stum Gram good while attacking though they should produce lots of goals in this game. Fiorentina was finalist in the last season against West Ham, we could see another finals with em?

From what I see, several teams still have opportunities because in terms of quality, several teams are quite strong. Fenerbahce, Fiorentina also cannot be underestimated because they also have the ambition to reach the final in the European conference league. But for that reason, Aston Villa performance may be better than other teams because Aston Villa managed to cause many surprises in the domestic league and I think they deserve to be a strong candidate to win the title.

Apart from that, Aston Villa also has a strong opponent because they will face Ajax in the round of 16. Meanwhile, Fiorentina will face Maccabi Haifa. Well, in my opinion, Fiorentina opponent is also quite strong because Maccabi currently leads the standings in their domestic league. For this reason, several strong teams need to struggle to be able to beat their opponents in the round of 16.

I will choose Aston Villa as the favorite team to win the European Conference League this season. It is very reasonable to place Unai Emery fleet at the top of the list, because of their consistency in the Premier League which has been able to stay in the top four of the standings so far. Man City, Chelsea and Tottenham are the three elite EPL teams that Aston Villa have beaten this season, so I think Ajax will be beaten too.

We know that Ajax experienced very difficult ups and downs in performance in the Eredivisie, they have not even managed to break into the top four at the moment, which could lead them to qualify for the qualifying round for the European Conference League next season. On paper, Aston Villa have all the attributes to make their move smooth, and in my opinion they deserve to be favourites.

From a domestic league point of view, we certainly know that the EPL is in first place as the most competitive league in Europe, very different from the Eredivisie. In this case, the Dutch representative will find it very difficult to beat Aston Villa, and Ajax even be unable to compete with Brighton and Marseille in Group B of the Europa League.

My picks for next round:

Union Saint-Gilloise - Fenerbahçe
Belgian team is doing pretty good in European competition. They are the leader in their respective league as well. Fenerbahçe has bigger budget and star players but I like how USG play.

Ajax - Aston Villa
The toughest draw in this round. Both teams have the potential to win the cup but one of them will be eliminated this early. I see Aston Villa one step ahead.

Servette - Viktoria Plzen
Not sure about this one. I know Viktoria Plzen from their previous match-ups with Turkish teams. They have a strong team, I think they are better than Servette.

Molde - Club Brugge
Never underestimate Molde but I know very well how Club Brugge play so my favorite is them. Their group games were pretty impressive.

Dinamo Zagreb - PAOK
Simple, PAOK is better. Zagreb already made a surprise by eliminating Real Betis. I don't think they will go one more round.

Sturm Graz - Lille
Lille is far away from French championship and even in second place so they may pay attention to Conference League more. They already have an expensive squad and quality players such as David, Yazıcı, Yoro and Zhegrova. They should pass this one easy.

Maccabi Haifa - Fiorentina
Fiorentina is one of the top four teams in this tournament. Israeli side has no chance here.

Olympiacos - Maccabi Tel Aviv
Greek side is the favorite. They have great strikers such as Podence and El Kaabi.

After watch Ajax against Bodo (home/away), Im sure it will be not hard for Aston to beat them.
And if that happens, Aston will be heavily favorite to win this competition follow by Fenerbache/Union, Fiorentina and Lille.
I wish to see these four teams in the Semifinals, also if Union able to beat Fenerbache - they definitely worth to be in the final.

Fenerbahçe is my favorite in the Conference League. After the draw for the last 16 of the UEFA European Conference League, Fenerbahçe's opponent is Union Saint-Gilloise. Union SG is a very in-form team in their league and should be taken seriously. They defend well, play fast and hard football, but Fenerbahçe is a team that plays hard football. Of course, it's not a team that Fenerbahçe can never eliminate. It is a big advantage for Fenerbahçe to play the first game away. If Fenerbahçe can get a draw away from home, they will be through. Because Union SG is a team that plays hard and with pressure at home. It will be a difficult match for Fenerbahçe, but they will be the ones to qualify.

yesterday's games surprised me in a positive way. Ajax, who in the first leg came away with a draw that they achieved thanks to their great luck in scoring 2 goals in seven minutes and when the game was almost over, in yesterday's game Ajax improved and were the first to score a goal, but they received a red card in the 48th minute and this meant that ajax had little power in attack because the player who received a red card was a defensive player and after that ajax had to focus on defense to fill the void left by the player who received a red card, even when the opponent also had a player with a red card and they started to play with just 10 players, it still wasn't a big difference because ajax conceded a goal and the game was tied, ajax's luck in that game and who managed to score a goal in extra time and won

In the first leg game, Dinamo won the game but it wasn't a victory that didn't give Betis a chance to reverse the disadvantageous scenario, but what we saw yesterday is that Betis has problems in attack, they managed to score a goal first but then the Dinamo scored a goal and the game was tied, Betis had more possession of the ball but were unable to be effective in attack and with that result they were eliminated, and it's a shame because Betis is recovering and if they had gone to another stage it would have been motivating. for players

the next games from what I could see there are some games in which the result seems to be very difficult to predict, for example the ajax game against aston villa, the stum game against LOSC, the union game against fenerbahce, the fiorentina game. I don't know if I will risk betting on any of these games, this is a competition without much importance but as many of the teams that are playing are not fighting for the title, they are capable of taking this competition very seriously

the legia fans especially the ultra groups are very well known for their great choreographies in the stadiums. like in the polish ekstraklasa but also on the european stage the legia ultras are very famous...

So when you look at it, the strongest team right now seems to be Aston Villa. There is an Aston Villa that is giving the big teams a hard time in the EPL this season, so of course Aston Villa is one of the strongest teams in the qualifying rounds. On the other hand, teams such as Ajax and Olympiacos should also be taken into consideration. There are teams that can eliminate Aston Villa before they reach the final. I wonder what Aston Villa can do.

Hahahaha Choreography was really well prepared so nice. Suprise MTFU!

Hahahaha man thanks for this photos, real epic what legia fans do. I supouse this wasnt show in the tv right? About the game, pure trash for them, i see the last minutes and... a disaster, they can even reach the goal of Molde and Molde win easy 3-0.

Poland needs to improve his level on football teams, is a no sense that little countries with weak leagues made more in europe than them.

I can't say that I feel sorry you lost, I just hope that you didn't put much on that bet. 


Trust me, Betis getting kicked out by Dinamo is a big surprise, even for us Dinamo fans in Croatia. This is probably the worst Dinamo in the last 10-15 years so naturally no one expected them to beat 6/7th team in Primera. Hell, they even struggle in national championship which they usually win comfortably and are currently only 3rd and will be a big success if they manage to win it.

And Aston Villa gets Ajax as their opponents, in my opinion these are one of the strongest teams that are now left in the Conference League. Ajax have added very well recently and Aston Villa were probably initially contenders for winning the tournament, given how Emery loves such tournaments. It’s a pity that these teams met in the 1/8 finals, but the strongest must win in any case and I think that Aston Villa should win this confrontation, although it must be admitted that in the last matches they do not look as good as at the beginning of the season.

I do believe that conference will be very important for many of these clubs because the only place they could win in Europe will be this one. Ajax is the exception because I always consider them as a team that can get much better, the yare going through some rough period right now but they will do much better eventually.

They were the UCL semi-*finalist just a few years ago and that should be proof enough that they could care less about this for the season, but most other teams are so good at here that they can't win europa or of course not UCL as well, so they need to win this or they can't win anything else. Most came from higher p positions, some even from champions league elimination phases, so they should be very good.

I think that Aston Villa will win this cup very comfortably. There is a huge difference in quality between other teams and Aston Villa. Aston Villa's opponent in the final could be Fiorentina or Fenerbahçe. But it's too early to predict for now. Surprisingly, other teams like Dinomo Zgreb, Club Brugge and Ajax may also be Aston Villa's opponent in the final round.

It's time for Round of 16! Are you excited?

Which team is your favorite?

yesterday there was a very cool choreography at the legia vs. molde fk game (legia lose this game 0-3). after uefa banned the legia warszawa curve, the ultras congratulated uefa on their victory.
however, the fans positioned themselves on the back straight and performed a choreography under the motto 'suprise, motherfuckers!

It was no surprise to me in any matchup, the teams that seemed to be favorites advanced to the next round. The elimination of Real Betis and Eintracht Frankfurt may seem like a surprise, but the teams against them are successful teams that are doing very well in their own leagues, so it shouldn't be considered a surprise.
Now there are matches in the last 16 rounds. The draw will be held in 3 hours. There are strong teams in the tournament. Teams such as Aston Villa, Fiorentina, Ajax, Lille seem to be favorites for the cup.

Frankfurt's being eliminated by Royale Union SG wasn't a thing that I expected to see. No wonder how many people bet on their win in the second leg and got very disappointed as well. 

Frankfurt are a Europa League winner team so I thought they would be determined here too. But it didn't look like they really cared about the Conference League. Otherwise I think there is no way they are losing home in a game like this. I would like to remind you of how they demolished Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga by 5-1 this season. I don't place bets on Conference League games because of seeing more surprises here.
