Feyenoord is doing well at the moment in the Eredivisie. they are at the top of the table even with a pretty good point advantage leaving Ajax. it was different last season which made Feyenoord have to finish in the top 3 positions in the standings, behind Ajax and PSV.
In the first leg, maybe Feyenoord can take advantage and get revenge on Roma. they must seize this home moment to beat Roma. because in the second leg, it will be quite difficult if you have to play well to beat Roma's domination at home.

It is surprising that Sevilla, who managed to qualify for the quarter-finals, saw that their current performance in La Liga was not good. this could be luck for Man United to get 1 easy ticket to the Semi Finals.

No. I dont think so mate.

Manchester united vs sevilla it is , the vibe between the two far greater than roma vs fenerbache ... how can you say that. As roma been mediocre teams for years and fenerbache struggling in european competition in the last few years while sevilla who won the most title of europa league get wiped out of your consideration just because they had bad season this time, no sense for me.

For Manchester United to knock Barcelona out from the Europa League I know they are fit of winning the europa league.  Manchester United are with the best squad, players like Rashford and Casemiro always play a good role in every for Manchester United, Rashford is goal scoring machine for Manchester United.

after barcelona was knocked out of the european league, the biggest candidate to win the european league was man utd, especially with the best squad they had, man utd's winning percentage increased sharply

I'm not underestimating Sevilla, but when compared to Sevilla's performance in the local league, the chances of Sevilla winning against Man Utd are very small. In the first leg, I'm sure Man Utd will win big

I agree with you, it's more accurate to say this is a revenge match for Feyenoord than a final match at the start. This match will be difficult to predict because the last time they met was in the final match, it shows that the two clubs are on the same level, even though in the end Feneyord had to admit AS Roma's superiority in the final match. Obviously the situation will be different now, Feyenoord are currently in a good trend in the local competition, so they will try to make their mission successful in getting their revenge from AS Roma last season.

I think it's not about the early final but the revenge match, because there are still other matches that bring together the top teams against the top teams. So the match between AS Roma v Feyenoord I think cannot be assumed as an early final, but more towards a match with a revenge mission.

Yes indeed, because in this season Feyenoord are also dominating the Eredivisie, so of course, this season Feyenoord has performed better than last season when they lost by AS Roma in the Europa Conference League. So, with good domination in the local league this season, I personally believe Feyenoord have just as good a chance to win. Because I think AS Roma is sometimes unstable, so these factors can make AS Roma fail to qualify.

To be fair they were good in 2020 as well and that I can understand. But this year Sevilla, even though they have somehow managed to come thus far, has been horrible and they are lucky to be here, they should have been out a few matches ago, and definitely a shock that they managed to be here. On the other hand, United looks like they could have been in UCL instead of here, they are pretty good and managed to beat Barcelona.

Look at Barcelona and sevilla positions in la liga and you would understand. This doesn't mean they will win for sure, United could still lose, as usual in football and especially in cup games anything could happen so we should be ready about that for sure.

That's what I said before, if you look at Sevilla's performance in La Liga, there is no guarantee to beat Manchester United, but the history shown by Frankfurt breaks speculation about Manchester United's performance, which is in good condition. On the other hand Sevilla also has a much better mentality when playing in the Europa League, their track record in the Europa League can break speculation that Manchester United has a much bigger chance.

But going back to the predictions that we made, it means sticking to their pattern of play and being consistent in their respective leagues and I think from this point of view Manchester United are far superior.

The two highly favored candidates this season are Juventus and Manchester United. But for the next match, both Manchester United and Juventus have to go through the quarter-finals, Manchester United will not get an easy win against Sevilla and neither will Juventus' chances. If you calculate the strength of the players you have and the opportunities, then Manchester United and Juventus will definitely get through the quarter-finals.

To be honest I have never doubted Sevilla's quality at the European league level, but their chances are very small at the moment, considering that Manchester United's rise under Erik Ten Hak is quite real. Juventus will also not waste the opportunity to gain full points to qualify for the next round.

To be honest, I didn't think that Union Berlin would be toppled by USG. however, however, on paper Leverkusen is more favored than Royale Union SG, especially if we refer to the odds available by the bookie.

I'm quite optimistic, Leverkusen will appear dominant when hosting Union SG in the match later. either home or away. but, yes, at least Xabi Alonso will not underestimate his opponent. because, Xabi is well aware that USG is not an easy team for them to overthrow. especially if we remember when Royele Union SG toppled Berlin at their own base with a landslide score. which means, this team from Belgium will provide fierce resistance when they travel to Leverkusen. As far as I'm concerned, this is the first meeting between the two teams. even so, after all I will still favor Leverkusen who will qualify for the next round phase.

We have to admit it was because of Erik ten Hag's ingenuity in cultivating the Red Devils players that made them get very good performances this season. In contrast to Sevilla, they actually experienced an immeasurable decline for football observers and this was very far from expectations like the previous season. But even so, these two teams will compete in the quarter-finals and it's still a mystery who will qualify later, yes, even though everyone knows that Manchester United is so favored in this match.

I won't be surprised and I don't think anyone will be, if at the end of the match,  Manchester united comes out victorious.
Ten Hag has been able to set the system in such a way that both the boys and the fans are out for winning in every fixture they see themselves.
Having come this far in the Europa league, servilla in the other hand will not accept defeat so easily.  They have recorded good results against MU in their past fixtures,  and this is what Eric Ten hag will have to change in other to end this season.

Manchester United will be very lucky if they can win the match against Sevilla in the Europa League this season, because apart from Manchester United being able to take advantage of Sevilla's condition which is not good enough this season, also in the Europa League now many strong teams have been eliminated which has made Manchester United's move to going to the next round will be a bit easier this season.

Manchester United's game with Sevilla will be an interesting match, but I also want to see who will survive going into the next round because it will be much more interesting to see which team Manchester United will meet after these Quarter-Finals.

I don't even think if sevilla is going to be even more tough opponent compared with betis. I just take the performance in the domestic league. Sevilla has horrible performances in the la liga. I see no chance for sevilla to win the match against manchester united. Betis can be destroyed by manchester united and sevilla will become even more easy for MU to beat it. Sevilla is not so stable as the club has been sacked sampaoli as a coach of club before. I don't even think the players can adapt as fast as possible to the new coach.
MU will have so many advantages over sevilla. Sevilla was not as strong as people called that as king of europa league. For me, sevilla is just an ordinary club in front of MU.

As you can see how inconsistent sevilla is at this moment. That proves that if this club is not in good condition when it will face MU as next opponent in europa league.

Feyenoord v Roma is a matchup like an early finale in this tournament in my opinion. The reason why I think in this way is that these teams already played against each other in the Europa Conference League finale in the previous season. Besides both of them are still very strong in this season as well. Feyenoord are even stronger this season as they are fighting really hard for the Eredivisie title on one hand. They have a really good advantage in the standings as well.

Hence I think they can focus on the Europa League easily too. They must be wishing to have revenge on Roma as well - You know Roma defeated them in that finale. But I still expect Roma to eliminate them by a slight margin.

Even though Manchester United have quite a bit of problems, I agree with your point, Sevilla also is having a somehow bad season and their performance is questionable. Sevilla could barely beat Fenerbahce. Actually they were quite lucky to advance. Manchester United should focus more on the Europa League. I was thinking that maybe they could be 2nd in the Premier League, but in the last weeks that possibility has become very difficult. They will probably finish third in the league. They would most likely want to take this EL cup and go back to their old days. It will be fun to watch the two Manchester teams competing against each other in the coming years. ManU's priority should be Europa League, for sure.

Manchester united and Sevilla will be very interesting game knowing fully well that Manchester United will win fully without much struggles. The way ten Hag prove Manchester United performance makes me have confidence that it is possible for them to win the Europa League.

Yea, I also think same with you. Even before Manchester United was able to beat Barcelona and Real Betis, they were able to beat Real Sociedad.
And another great addition or boost or confidence to the Manchester United team is that they have Casemiro who is very much match fit in the team. Casemiro has missed one or two English matches because of 4 matches ban. He will be great in the Europa because he is reserving his strength.
Also by then Rashford will also be fit to continue his goal scoring streak.

I think Man United is ready for the match against Sevilla, it will still be a tough game for them but most likely Man United has a bigger chance than Sevilla. In the previous two matches, Man United managed to beat 2 teams from Spain (Barcelona and Real Betis), so I think Man United is becoming more familiar with the style of football of Spanish teams.

If Manchester United is in their right senses. They can be able to Sevilla, this is because Manchester United has almost won the clubs in the Spanish League who came to the Europa League competition
It is correct that Sevilla has more records than Manchester United in the Europa. But this season Manchester United is so much in good form that they cannot be easily beaten by any club. They are the favorites in the Europa Champions League and I believe Sevilla also knows about this.

I would slightly disagree here

Sevilla is a team that isn't pressing very hard. They are defense focussed and try to make the opponent become tired trying. You don't want to go into the second leg being two goals behind against Manchester United. Manchester is in a great shape when it comes to high speed counter attacks. The best that can happen to Sevilla is to tie the game in Manchester, which I don't believe is going to happen, or not lose with more than one goal difference.

A one goal difference still allows them to play their game at home, they can still be patient and don't have to press too hard and run straight into any traps United will try to put up. But if they lose the first leg with a two goal difference, it's almost impossible to turn it around even in their home game as I mentioned before, since Manchester is efficient and fast with their counter attacks. Sevilla would have to open up pretty early into the game and Manchester could play defense with 9 or 10 players but still always ready to take the offensive initiative.
