Basel made a lot of mistakes in the first match and those red cards in the first match costed them the next round. What an achievement for Tobol to qualify. I cant remember when was the last time Basel didnt play a group faze in europe. Really dissapointing start to the season.

Very interesting game between Tobol Kostanai and Basel. I did not expect that Basel loses on the sum of two matches. Frankly speaking, for the first time I've heard about Tobol. For Basel is certainly not all lost yet, less than 15 minutes left. But things are not going well for them so far.

Yeah, so many games. Last week I have done so many single not very big value bets on Conference league and it worked quite well. So, going to repeat something similar again. A bit lazy to write it all, will share fe. My main bet today is parlay of Spartak Trnava, Pogon and Mitjylland @2.48. There is quite many gameswith a bit too low odds to bet, so, probably worth to make few more parlays with heavy favorites

It was expected that Zimbru would not show much against Fenerbahce. This can be understood from the team value, but before looking at the team value of Fenerbahce, the quality of their squad is already one of the best in this league. I don't think there is a team that can cause problems for Fenerbahce until the quarterfinals. With the new signings, we can easily say that Fenerbahce will be the strongest team in the conference league. With the additions to this roster, we can also say that it will be the favorite in the cup. I don't think he will have problems in the groups. I don't expect a very difficult opponent to come. After Juventus' withdrawal, easier opponents will come as they will participate from the 1st bag.

Interesting numbers shared above on squad value -- the lowest tier of UEFA club football and already beating the budgets of about half the top-tier teams in any Big Four leagues... pretty dire future for those running on budgets.

Anyway, massive number of games today -- 44 of them, I can't remember the last time we had this number of games in the space of a few hours in a single competition!

P.S. Deleted a few low-value posts -- PM me if you've an issue, happy to explain why if OP isn;t clear enough. Quote walls particularly suggest a lack of effort.

without a doubt Fenerbahce had a convincing victory, in two legs they scored 9 goals and did not concede a single goal, but from what I could see, this zinbru team is not a very strong team and has a history of weak defense in my opinion, but that doesn't change the fact that Fenerbahce have shown they have a good attack, this new İsmail Kartal who is also Turkish is doing very well so far, next week the Turkish league games start so we'll see how he does playing in the Turkish league and having to get good results and at the same time playing in the conference league and having to get good results, it won't be an easy task, competing to become champions in the Turkish league and the conference league

mainly because galatasaray, which is its biggest rival, won today in the champions league game and went to another phase, this opens space for the two teams from turkey to be competing to see which one will reach further in the european competitions, i see Fenerbahce having more advantage , because in the conference league Fenerbahce has a good chance of going very far, even talking about being champions would not be an exaggeration

---

Tomorrow we will have more games, and the game I intend to follow will be Basel's game, it's unbelievable that Basel lost and conceded 3 goals in the first leg, although it managed to score 1 goal, it will be very difficult for Basel to score 3 goals in this match. game and don't suffer any game, so it's safe to say that baseeia will be eliminated, mainly because in addition to this goal disadvantage they still have the disadvantage of being away from home, I don't see them being able to reverse this result, unfortunately they will be eliminated

Didn't really expect anything else from them to be fair. Fenerbahce is a team that is worth give or take 200 million euro, and Zimbru is worth less than 3.5 million euros. That is a factor of 70 give or take, and that's what the situation for betting was as well. If Zimbru managed to somehow magically end up winning, that would have been the story for a year.

I think this part is just way too low for Fenerbahce, I would have put them at the group stages directly, because there is no team in all of this phase that could have been trouble for them, there is literally no drawing unlucky and all that, anyone could be picked and they would beat them, or at least they should. In any case, next round will be equally easy for them for sure.

Overall, I think there will be some good matches on Thursday.
First of all, Basel will face Tobol away. It is difficult but not impossible for Basel, who lost the first match 3-1 at home, to make the round. They will play a pressurized game from the first minute.
Azerbaijan's Neftchi Baku, on the other hand, will want to win at home to advance after a 2-2 draw away from home. I think Neftchi Baku will be the side to advance with the advantage of being at home.

I agree with you. A high squad value for early qualifiers. But it's a normal squad value for the group stage and beyond.

Fenerbahce won the first match 5-0 at home and won 4-0 away in the second match. What a great player Tadic and a great chance for Fenerbahce. He's very enjoyable to watch. Also İsmail Yüksek scored a awesome goal.

After playing a dominant game at home, I expected them to be less aggressive away from home and that's how the first half went. After a scoreless first half, Fenerbahce started the second half fast. After going 1-0 up with a goal from star player tadic, Fenerbahce took complete control of the game and had no trouble getting into positions and scored 4 goals in the second half.
As you said, in the BATE-Aris match, Aris, who won 6-2 at home in the first leg, seemed to be guaranteed to go through. While we expected Aris not to focus too much on the match, they managed to score 5 goals in the second match as well. In total 11 goals in 2 games is not what I expected from a team like Aris.

I think the result was much expected looking at how they dominated the whole.game in the first leg and even the scoreline would give you a hint on how the game is going to end.

The game that impressed and interested me most was the game between the Bosnia Herzegovina team (BATE) and cyprus team {aris} which pave way to whole seventeen goals of which 11  was scored by aris and 6 by bate.  After the first leg ended in a 6-2 victory for the Cyprus team,  I never expected much goals in this second leg but my prediction was all wrong.

what a number for Conference league, and they are starting from early qualifications
Fenerbahce is probably seeking a trophy journey here this season, congrats on a great win against Zimbru, although it was widely expected to see Fenerbahce to go through

Buducnost and Struga are fighting their battle for next round, 2:2 at the moment, 0:1 from first match

After a goalless draw in the first half, Fenerbahçe won the match with 4 goals in the second half and went through with a 9-0 aggregate score. Despite being away, Fenerbahce didn't give too many chances to their opponent and this time, the players who couldn't play in the first match got more time and it was a good training match for Ismail Kartal to not have any question marks in his head and to determine the players who will go. Fenerbahce had a 75 percent possession percentage and didn't allow their opponents any shots. Fenerbahce had 19 shots during the match, 11 of which were on target. I can say that the goal scored by İsmail Yüksek was legendary. He scored a beautiful goal with a hard shot from a distance. The other goals were scored by batshuayi and tadic.

In the second leg of the second qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League, Fenerbahçe will play Zimbru. Fenerbahce won the first match 5-0. Fenerbahçe's starting XI against Zimbru : Altay, Osayi-Samuel, Serdar Aziz, Luan Peres, Ferdi, İsmail, Crespo, Tadic, İrfan Can, King, Batshuayi.

Fenerbahçe is the most expensive team in the UEFA Conference League in this season. (179.8M €)
In second place is C. Brugge. (137M€)

It doesn't have to be a lot of goals... After the five goals they scored in the first game they don't necessarily need to work hard in the return leg... They are now in a comfortable position and could even draw or lose with a minimum score... They've guaranteed themselves entry into the next round anyway... I don't think there will be a repeat of last game tomorrow...

Reportedly, Ante Rebic is one step away from joining Besiktas and leaving AC Milan. It was rumored that Rebic was released cheaply by Milan at a price of 2 million pound, 123 appearances and 23 goals were his statistics while in Milan uniform for five seasons. Regarding the Besiktas transfer market, so far they have brought in five new players and if Rebic is officially introduced there will be one more player added.

Rebic age can still be said to be in his peak period, I believe he can make a good contribution to the team.

Sources of the Besiktas transfer market: https://www.transfermarkt.co.id/besiktas-istanbul/startseite/verein/114

Did Beşiktaş make a transfer this year?
They are having a very bad transfer season right now. They only transferred 2-3 players.
It will be difficult for Beşiktaş in the upcoming matches. (League and Group Matches)

Besiktas may have been weak in the transfer window and that's why I think they will at least make the round, even if they are not the favorite away from home.Of course it's not a very important difference but I don't expect them to lose against a weak opponent.Senol sun has a certain experience and when a few transfers are made with his experience, Besiktas will start to be the favorite.There was talk of Ante Rebic's future and if he comes, he will be followed by a few more star players.

From what I read in several sources, this decision was already expected to happen:


source: https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/38089019/juventus-banned-conference-league-chelsea-fined-uefa

sad scenario for juventus, lately it has not been easy to be a fan of juventus, last season when i expected them to go to the european champions league, came the news that points were reduced, they appealed that decision and returned their points, I was even happy thinking that the matter was already resolved, but it didn't take long for points to be withdrawn again, and today we have bad news again, which means that this season Juventus will not be in any European competition

I sincerely hope that the juventus board doesn't do shit again so they don't receive this type of punishment, the teams in this competition are not very strong and juventus could have a real chance of winning this competition, now that possibility is no longer available, Well, from what I can see, Juventus doesn't even have a squad to win Serie A. I will be watching which is another great and good team that has a good chance of winning this competition.

Besiktas JK definitely played good, they were as good as expected, but they didn't play better than expected neither. This was a game at their home game, I expected them to win anyway. I have been betting for a while on these pre-eliminary games for both champions league, europa and conference, and they all have shown me that this season looks like favorites will win, that's how it has been most of the time, aside from a few like Cluj failing though.

That's the power of Adana Demrsport, didn't expected them to get a tie, maybe I will take a risk and just put them as a win on my next bet, would be at their home if I know right, and that means there is a chance that they could end up with a win that game as well.
