Lottery league is back once again and I couldn't hold myself not to place a bet on the following teams :

HJK - Paok = both teams to score.

Fenerbache - Nords = Fener to score 2 goals

Club Brugge - Besiktas = both teams to score

Lugano - Bodo = both teams to score

Total odds ~15

Fenerbahce is the favorite in their group. The matches will be very comfortable for them.
We expect them to do very well in Conference League this year.

Beşiktaş's only rival is Club Brugge, I think they can beat the other teams very easily.

Its not so easy to know who is the favourite in this competition, market value its always a clue but its not suficient to know.

But yes we are all thinking the same, the contenders are gonna be, Aston Villa, Lille, Fiorentina, Frankfurt, and someone more like AZ or teams like that.

But we are missing one important thing on this amalisys, the teams who falls from Europa League in to this competition , take in look that.

Yes this could be a trophy that Aston Villa is most destined to win. Apart from the squad's value (by thy way I like that this is provided in the groups overview), Aston Villa is once again playing very well. They lost the one game against Newcastle, but that's not to be overemphasized when looking at the whole picture. They have been solid so far in the Premier League and in the play-offs for the Conference League as well, but I would still say that there is also Frankfurt, which is a strong team although they lost Kolo Muani now and that is like PSG losing Mbappe in relative terms. Great chance for Aston Villa this year to celebrate a title.

At first glance, Aston Villa are definitely the favorites. West Ham United won this trophy last season. Another English team could do it again. However, football is a game of surprises when the right tactics are applied. I think Frankfurt, Fenerbahce, Lille and Fiorentina are also among the favorites. Also, Aston Villa finished 7th in the Premier League last season. Unai Emery might downplay this cup and prioritize the Premier League. If they achieve a more assertive position in the Premier league, maybe they can ignore this cup.

Aston Villa is the biggest favorite of this cup. They eliminated Scotland's representative Hibernian by scoring 8 goals in two matches. The only team in their group that can be considered difficult is AZ Alkmaar. I think they will beat them. They will probably come to the semi-finals easily, the important thing is will they be able to play the final? Because the Premier League teams have a big economic advantage in the conference cup.

From what I see, Aston Villa, Eintracht, Fenerbahce and Besikita are the teams that, in my opinion, have a good chance of becoming champions, I could even include Lille, but they are not having an acceptable performance in Ligue 1 and in yesterday's game against rijeka, they won with a lot of difficulty, and knowing that rijeka is not a very strong team, so I don't see lille having any chance of being champion, if aston villa continues to have this good performance then they have much more chances of winning the conference league than the other teams, in the premier league aston villa is also doing well, so they are the main candidates to win the conference league. one of the biggest problems in this league is that when the favorite teams to win this league are not doing well in their leagues

coaches choose to play with team B in this league, last season I lost money in many games I bet on in that league because I bet before seeing the squad and after I lost and I realized that the team played with a weak squad to save players for their country's league matches, this is one of the problems of betting on this league when the group stage matches are onwards and also aware of the matches of local leagues and cups team coaches give less priority to games from the conference league, I hope this season I don't see that

today, besides the europe league, also the groups of this year's conference league season have been drawn. in the following graphic you can see the groups and maybe find your favorite club again. furthermore, the respective squad values are displayed for each club.
if you had to go by this value, then aston villa (€604m) is the top favorite for the cup and the two clubs from klaksvik (faroe islands) and breidablik (iceland) with €3m squad value each are the complete outsiders in this competition

It's been a good night for the Turkish teams. Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe played better against their opponents and won their matches. This was the expected result, both better teams than their opponents. But Adana Demirspor could not go to the next round.
They played a good match and it was a very long fight, but they lost the match in the penalty shootout. It's a shame that one of the team's best players missed a penalty. Unfortunately, Adana's goalkeeper did not perform well in penalty shootouts

Yesterday I watched whole of Adana Demirspor - Genk match. It was hell of a ride. Very enjoyable match. Adana Demirspor had physical issues compared to Genk, but have very skilled players. Adana Demirspor could beat them with 1 goal eventually but Genk had many many chances because Adana was sometimes having issues controlling ball at midfield (mostly because of stamina). In extra time Genk was lot better than Adana and sort of deserved to win at penalties. After all Genk has very young and high stamina team in my opinion, they can possibly go to round after group stage at conference league.

Brugge - Osasuna, what a great game, true roller-coaster. At one point Osasuna were already leading 0:2 and such result was enough for them, but in 2nd half Brugge made response with 2 goals and they earned spot in group stage. Legia - Midtjylland was also good game, made not that many moments, but lot of drama and penalty shootout. And after penalties Legia goes to group stage.
Interesting fact - after loss to Besiktas, it's first time in 18 years when Dynamo Kyiv failed to reach group stage of UEFA tournament. Probably such outcome isn't surprising, in recent years they went down a lot.

Vincent Aboubakar scored a very good goal and Beşiktaş went to the groups.

It was a comfortable game for Fenerbahçe, they won 1-0 and went to the groups.

Adana Demirspor fought well and won 1-0 but lost on penalties. It was a bad result.

Yeah this match just started and Besiktas tried to press the attack in the early minutes, they know that even though they have won in the first leg they are not safe enough because they are only one goal ahead on aggregate this means that Besiktas needs to score another goal in order to be in the safe zone. I also watched the match between FC Twente vs Fenerbahce, actually, Fenerbahce is safe after winning with a big score in the first leg but here I expect Twente to try to turn things around so there will be lots of goals  but unfortunately so far no goals my bet is on over 2.55 goals lol.

I always fancy the Belgians, and I got away with backing Antwerp last night (qualification for UCL) so I have no problem with Brugge again tonight but the odds that caught my eye was for Rapid Wien (which I posted on my thread) -- hugely experienced at this level, no doubt the Italians are probably better but I think they can nick this game. Not to mention they did win the home tie! Still 0-0 now.

Everything else is too dangerous for the odds, but I watched Kiev/Besiktas first leg and while it failed to live up to the fire, it was an ok game to see so maybe the return leg gets them more angry.

Beşiktaş is gonna have one of the most important matches of their history because conference league is very important to get some points for better pots/seed in later years at higher tournaments. Beşiktaş is strong team and Dinamo Kiev should not be match for them comparing current squads. After defeating them at away Beşiktaş should be able to beat them at İstanbul as well. Beşiktaş deserves a lot with their fanbase. Gedson Fernandes is very important box to box player in my opinion.

Dynamo Kiev play very good compact football. Besiktaş had an important advantage against them in the first match, but they will have to be very careful in the second match. Dynamo Kiev play the passing game very well. Even when the match is going on at a normal or low tempo, they can suddenly create a position with a counter attack and be effective in the opponent's penalty area. The two goals they scored in the first match and especially the first goal they scored shows how easily they can do this. Beşiktaş defense will have to be very careful in tomorrow's match...

We have three games tomorrow.
Adana Demirspor, Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş.

It will be an easy game for Fenerbahçe because they won the first match 5-1.

Adana Demirspor should prepare very well for this game because they lost the first game 2-1. I hope they will win differently tomorrow.

Beşiktaş won the first game but Dynamo Kiev is a strong opponent, they need to prepare well.

I wish the best of luck to the teams that will fight for a place in the European Conference League tomorrow. Fenerbahce will go to Twente away from home comfortably. Because their 5-1 win in the first leg was more than enough for them. That's why I think the odds are strangely given, as it is thought that Fenerbahce will be rotated, when normally Fenerbahce should be shown as favorites again. For some reason I will be one of those who expect Fenerbahce to win again with a different score.
Adana Demirspor will have a tough match ahead of them. Adana will want to win the game at home after losing the first leg away from home with a 1-0 lead but conceding a goal in the second half. One different score will take the match to extra time, while 2 different victories are required.
Beşiktaş, on the other hand, will play a very comfortable match at home as they beat Dynamo Kiev away with a goal in the last minute. Dinamo Kiev will play well despite being away, but I don't expect them to go through. Beşiktaş will win this match with a good game.

Wow, Nordsjaelland (almost broke my keyboard typing it) crushed Partizan 5:0. That's really painful, I'm looking at Partizan results and seems that it was one of the most painful defeats in more than 20 years.
Fenerbahche 5:1 Twente and before game I thought that's more or less equal teams. Didn't saw game, so, when I noticed results I thought that my eyes is lying. Watched Dynamo Kyiv - Besiktas game, it was fun, real roller coaster with goal on 95th minute Besiktas goal that let them to win game. Turkish clubs is looking so powerful in Europe this season.

Yeah Rijeka holds so much last night against Lille, but in the end the tie exit from his hands.

For me Brugge win yesterday was a really big one, because Osasuna in his home its not an easy task to overcome, i know Brugge have more experience playing in europe than Osasuna, but Osasuna still playing in a much more high level league like the spanish one.

AZ tie against Brann surely destroy so much bets, i dont have any doubt about that.
