Which team is from Gibraltar?

Lincoln Red Imps are from Gibraltar and playing Riga this afternoon

Partizan is playing in Portugal later tonight (22:30) with Santa Clara, and match should be interesting, Partizan is in good form, kicking-out Sochi, and Santa Clara does not have European experience, with low start draw with Moreirense in Portugal first round
I would add handicap on Feyenoord as well, it is a good value, thinking about Anderlecht home win as well

One of the interesting games today is Trabzonspor - Roma. As we all know, Roma are going to play their first official game of the season and it will be Mourinho's first game with the team also. Many people are wondering about how good they will start the season with their new manager. And I think that Trabzonspor are not a team to be underestimated by Roma. I'm expecting Trabzonspor to play really good in their home match in the first leg. Getting even a draw would be enough for Roma to be able to eliminate them I think. But if they lose, then things can be harder for them.

2 Turkish teams of my country also passed the qualifying round. Sivasspor eliminated Dinamo Batum with a goal in extra time. Trabzonspor, on the other hand, defeated Molde on penalties in the match in which he had great difficulty. The teams they matched for the next round are: Sivasspor - Copenhagen, Trabzonspor - AS Roma. I wish success to all teams.

The match between Sivasspor against FC Copenhagen will be a difficult match for Sivasspor, because in my opinion FC Copenhagen currently has a pretty good performance in the danish league, especially in the last 5 matches they are unbeaten and this is different from what happened in the last match of Sivasspor which played bad enough that they lost 0-1 to konyaspor.
Actually the match between Trabzonspor vs Roma is what I'm waiting for the most, especially now Trabzonspor is reinforced by several players who have experience in various European competitions such as Hamsik and Gervinho who have played for Roma.
My prediction:
Trabzonspor 1 Vs 1 Roma
Sivasspor 0 Vs 3 Copenhagen

So, last qualifying round for Conference league and plenty of games today. Some my bets for today's games.
###
It will be interesting to follow Mourinho debut in Roma, Spurs game also shouldf be interesting. And I only now realized that there is team from Gibraltar in final round of qualification - impressive achievemnt for them.

I like your picks, instead of picking a winner, go for over unders. I think better unders than overs though,,, these games are going to be very tight and even we saw only in the higher quality leagues we can see goalscorers.

Kane is not playing confirmed already,,, but should still win also but the away odds 1.6x reflects the low confidence of bookies. Which team is from Gibraltar?

raków will now face the belgian club gent and santa clara will meet partizan belgrade ... here a progress of the two teams would be a very big surprise

Surprise, but not impossible. Gent struggled against RFS Riga. Rakow is better team than Riga, so I expect that it won't be easy for Gent. One interesting thing about Rakow - they scored just 1 goal in 4 qualifying games. They failed to score against Suduva in both games and scored against Rubin only in extra time.

Santa Clara is going against my team Partizan in the playoffs. But i think they have several players under covid from a week ago. I dont think they will be ready for the match against Partizan that is in a few days. While Partizan is in amazing form currently

Santa Clara is one of the weakest teams in the Portuguese league, with a winning percentage of 28~38% per season. Usually he struggles not to go down from the division or at least try to stay in the middle of the table. Last year, they performed well and finished the championship better than expected. And it has no international experience.

The same cannot be said for Partizan, besides being one of the main clubs in Serbia, it has experience in international competitions.
I believe that Partizan will beat Santa Clara, but there may be suppressions - I doubt it.

Good question. Just some time ago they were Top 6th in UEFA League ranking and this year they are going to drop out of Top 10. Last season was disaster for the, from all clubs which played in Champions and Europa League they achieved just 1 win cobined, this season is going isn't much better. Some people say it's just their level, others blame limit of foreign players in Russian Premier League.

Quote from: Joca97 on August 13, 2021, 10:59:09 AM

This competition isnt weak at all. When the group stage starts from 4 teams in the group 1 team will probobly be weak. Other 3 teams will be strong,not as strong as the champions league but strong for this league. This is the first time this competition is being played so everyone will want to win it for the first time

I'm still quite sceptical about this tournament. Europa League group stage usually isn't most exciting thing to watch, this tournament obviously won't be better. Probably only fans of teams which play there is going to watch it, especially because Europa League will be played on the same time.
I doubt that big clubs will give priority to Conference League and they aren't going to play with main players there. Probably they will only start paying more attention in final stages on tournament.

we got two teams from top leagues that have no previous Europe experience, so ranked low, but could not get to Europe from Russia or Portugal league, if not strong
on the other hand, there are some pairs between Flora and Shamrock, Riga and Lincoln, Fola and Almaty

seems that draw was in direction to have some smaller teams in group stage, since Roma is playing Trabzon, Tottenham is playing Ferreira, PAOK is playing Rijeka, all teams that have better coefficient comparing to above mentioned

nevertheless, I believe that we will kick-out Santa Clara

I guess there will be some teams that will get eliminated from the europa one and come here as well, so all in all, whatever happened until right now is just a small way of it, after that it will actually become something in the group stages. People are judging the play at the elimination stage right now, but the reality is that we are going to end up seeing some real football soon at group stages, but even if you do not like that, during the last 16, quarters, semi and finals will definitely be great football for sure, I do not think that you will see any "bad" teams at those stages, all the ones left will be great teams.

I understand that if you like to watch the top 5 leagues, this may not be good football for you, or your team may be at a higher level, but people like me, this is definitely good because my team could one day be here.

For me its unrealistic that some amature teams play other amature teams and that teams like Partizan play really hard opponents and they earned a lot of points in the previous years in europe

@Joca97 I’m yet putting my head around this league and trying to figure how they have ranked the teams, but after reading @CasperBGD post I’m now starting to understand how they’re ranked. Also I feel that Roma will want to win this trophy, because I doubt they’ll qualify in top 4 hence winning this trophy is their best shot at winning something in this season.

What a crazy day it was in Conference League as I had so many games with Both teams to score and guess what ? We barely had a few games with both teams to score and as a statistic I think we had 30 total games and around 13 with both to score and most of them came in the last phase of the schedule day. Did anyone caught something ? Live odds were great tho.

yeah, it was a difficult match to pass-through, but somehow looked as Partizan will go through during whole match
nevertheless, after passing Sochi, now we have on a paper easier task with Santa Clara from Portugal, but team from Portugal should not be underestimated

What a win by Partizan o most lost my hair watching this game. So happy that my team went into next round and will play Santa Clara for the group stage.

After all, TNS didn't managed to reach play-off round, but they were so close. Game ended 3:1 and moved to extra time and penalties where Plzen were better and eliminated Welsh team.
Another drama in Malta were Hibernians were close to to next round, but FC Riga managed to score on 96th minute and move game to extra time. With 10 players on pitch, Hibernians had not much chances in extra time and lost game.
Partizan scored on 90th minute against Sochi and game also went to extra time. Partizan won on penalties.
Rakow were leading against Rubin after goal on extra time, but Rubin had golden chance tosend game to penalty shootout, but they missed penalty on 122th minute. And rememberwhat I said - under 2.5 goals is safest pick for today's games.
Damn, so much drama without away goal rule Cheesy

There is some surprising results like Torshavn win against Maccabi Haifa or Larne win against Pacos De Ferreira, but after huge losses in 1st leg, these wins didn't helped them to move to the next round.

Tonight, the games of two Turkish teams ended positively for these teams. Trabzonspor had a tough opponent like Molde. The first game ended 3-3. Here, Trabzonspor got ahead 1-0 but they couldn't prevent the goal came in the last minute. After penalties, Trabzonspor managed to promote with a 4-3 score. Sivasspor had a quite easy opponent actually but they still couldn't prevent the game from going to the extra time. But they still managed to score one more goal in the extra time and eliminated their opponent, Dinamo Batumi.

It was a good night for Turkish teams, both teams advanced to next round in Conference League and other team advanced in Europa League.
I had no doubt about them but Sivasspor made things harder, they should've finished in regular time. They gave fans more exciting finish but it could've been a dramatic one as well, Jorge Felix saved their ass.
Trabzonspor also conceded a goal at last minute and almost gave away the tour but they handled in penalty shoot-out. When things were going bad they put a stop to that and gave Turkish people hope. We desperately need country coefficient points.
