Manchester United and Arsenal are the favourites to win the Europa league but mind you that doesn't guarantee success for both teams if they fail to keep good performances and try to win every game. Manchester United seem to have secured their place in the quarter finals already by beating Real Betis 4-1 in the first leg, it doesn't look like Real Betis will be able to come back from it while Arsenal have a chance at the Emirates stadium to claim their slot if they can win Sporting at home.
We still have a lot of strong teams left. A number of teams will appeal less to the imagination of many people, but Juventus can also expect something from that. It is a pity, of course, that Barcelona is no longer participating, but United is at least as good. Arsenal still had trouble at Sporting this week, they may also have a hard time at home. And the disadvantage for Arsenal is that the away goals no longer have any added value. Since that rule has changed, we have seen many more extensions. And I thought that at Uefa they wanted matches to be shorter?
Of course, removing the away goal-scoring advantage was not good for Arsenal. However, it is a fact that it adds more excitement to football. I think this decision is correct. After this decision, football became more exciting. Sporting can now play to draw in the rematch. At least that way they can take the game to a penalty shootout. 
Juventus actually still has a very strong team. It may be called a miracle that they have actually performed so poorly. You should be able to beat Rennes much more easily at home. 1-0 is a minimal lead and the strangest things can happen in an away game. I haven't looked at the odds for the bookmaker's eventual winner, but it could well fall in Arsenal's direction if they go through. And a lot will depend on the draw of the quarterfinals, there are also significantly less good teams, I think it is an open draw, which means that everyone can be drawn against each other. Then you could also have United - Juventus. I don't think they've played against each other in a long time.
It is unlikely that Juventus will qualify for the next round. The Juve team is very dubious this season, they don't even have a reliable striker. Dimaria now had to be on the front line, which he shouldn't be in a front line position. Juve are really in crisis, even in Serie A they often lose.
Juventus has a stronger chance to qualify for the next round compared to Freiburg. a 1-0 advantage is indeed not too safe for Juventus considering that the second leg will be played at home to Freiburg. Indeed, Sticker Juventus is having trouble scoring goals as happened to Vlahovic where he failed to score in several matches. Apart from that, you have to look at the quantity of teams and their experience in prestigious leagues. Juventus is a big team full of achievements, even for this season they deserve to be counted as the strongest team in the Europa league.Di Maria became a savior in the first leg because one goal was able to lead Juventus to victory in the first leg. the second leg match will take place this week i think juventus will save their energy for the match against freiburg.
but Juventus can also expect something from that.

Freiburg is having a great run in Bundesliga but like you said , Juve scored an away goal and that will count a lot. Anyway , still some days until game and some changes might happen into Juve squad once again... .
I'm sticking with Arsenal as the favorite for now. By far the most stable team of all remaining teams in this league. Yes, they had a hard time against Sporting, but they could have won that match. And Juventus is certainly not there yet either, they achieved a 1-0 victory in the home game at Rennes, but that is of course not convincing at all. Juventus could well be eliminated I think. And then we have United. they have of course taken a big step towards the quarter-finals with the 4-1 victory, I don't see Real Betis winning 3 or 4-0 against United at home. And then let's see what the draw will bring us next week.
The first leg of the Juventus vs Freiburg matchup was pretty interesting. I mean there was a balance when it comes to ball possession. But when it comes to the number of goal attempts there was a huge difference. Juventus just didn't even let Freiburg have a couple of opportunities against themselves. Freiburg had only 1 goal attempt which was against 20 by Juventus.
But despite this domination the final score was still only 1-0. It isn't over for Freiburg as a result. But they will need to make a huge improvement in the rematch. If they can't play their own game home then it wouldn't be difficult for Juventus to eliminate them. Juventus must do their best in the Europa League if they want to qualify for the Champions League group stage again.

Every other match that Manchester United will play in the Europa League. They are going to win all their matches to the final. This is because some of the good players will have enough time to play in the Europa League.
This is especially referring to cazimero who is on red card in the English Premier League, which is making to miss 4 good matches. What this means is that he will be fully available in all the Europa games with a lot of strength to conquer.

I personally believe that Sevilla will not have the ambition to be able to score goals in the second leg later. After all, in the previous match when Sevilla played against PSV, in fact, in the second leg, Sevilla did not make a big effort to score a goal. So yes, I think Sevilla will just rely on the aggregate wins they already have, because Sevilla also have to continue to improve their position in La Liga.
Indeed, relying only on aggregate wins has a big risk. But if Sevilla has a good and disciplined defense then of course that will make Sevilla fine. But indeed, it would be better for Sevilla to keep on targeting to win also in the second leg later.
Sevilla narrowly escaped dropping out of the tournament when they faced PSV. I was shocked at Sevilla performance in that game, they couldn't convert even a goal and were lucky PSV had their goals chopped off if not PSV would be the team making the draws. Sevilla have not been good defensively and need to work on that if they want to be tough and be able to withstand other teams attacking. Indeed, relying only on aggregate wins has a big risk.

Manchester united has the qualities of winning the europa league but it is not still certain becoming the champion of the league will go to them. Anything can happen along the line, football can not be predicted and their other good teams that are good to win the europa league too.
There are some strong clubs that played in the europa league as well. I think that your focus must not always be on united. United was most favorites club for now but i think that if you need also try to consider about some important clubs like juventus, arsenal and many more.
In my opinion if any team that played in the europa league have the same chance. Juventus has not yet faced a strong team like juventus. roma, leverkusen, sevilla. I think that these team are underrated team at this moment in europa league.
The fact that if MU has become the most favorite team but let's see how it will be going on when MU meets juventus. That's gonna be a tough game for MU. Beating barcelona didn't mean if MU will take trophy easily.

For me, the rules applied so far are still good rules that can be accepted. I don't know if the goal is to make the game shorter or not, but I prefer this rule because away goals no longer have added value, for me this rule is fairer.
Because after all, this is a home and away match, of course the two teams have the same chances when playing at home and away, so the rules are indeed better like this. But regarding which team will go further, I personally am still quite sure that Juventus and Manchester United seem to have a better chance.

From Liverpool game there's been this change of mindset, I don't really know if the squad might be fatigued currently or something but they really need to put themselves United and together. The draw against Southampton at Old Trafford was welcomed as a fan.
Yes they have huge potentials even with a tactically sound coach to lead and guide them to win games.
Arsenal are also another favorites to win the Europa League Competition, Juventus likewise and also Sevilla who have dominated over the years. Arsenal should focus on the premier league is they know whats better for them. I can't see them not winning the Premier League.
For as long as the difference between Arsenal and City is only a few points, there won't be any easy games for Arsenal. I don't expect Manchester City to give a way a lot of points for the rest of the season and therefore Arsenal has no choice but to offer top performances every single game. That's stressful as well and at the same time they have to give their very best in the Europa League as well.
If they make it to the next round against Sporting and they also win their Premier League game against Palace, they will have a 13 days break, which is well needed I guess. Sporting is a bit caught in the middle and can fully focus on the game against Arsenal. That doesn't make it any easier for Arsenal. I am looking forward to the draw for the next round. There could be some great matches.

Right, right now Arteta's priority is more focused on the Premier League. like it or not, Arsenal must remain consistent and get full points in every game. fortunately, Arsenal succeeded in overthrowing Fulham with a landslide score. which in the end, Arsenal was able to widen the distance from City by a difference of 5 points. the good news, G.Jesus has recovered from his injury and he has been played again by Arteta even though he is still the second line-up player. at least, Arsenal have many options for the front line.
So, Arteta can share his focus when his team hosts Sporting in the second leg later. I'm sure Arsenal will perform optimally when they host Sporting in the second leg later. after all, the Gunners were playing as the home team. on paper, the Gunners have a high probability of winning the fight versus Sporting Lisbon.
In the next match, Arsenal can maintain consistency when hosting Crystal Palace in the domestic league. after that, the Gunners had the opportunity to get some rest to re-fit their stamina.
Arsenal and Manchester United are the biggest favourites for the Europa League title obviously. Manchester United have already secured their ticket for the next stage. I assume Betis wouldn't be able to turn things around despite being 4-1 behind on aggregate. Manchester United seemed really strong despite their huge loss against Liverpool in the Premier League. It is good for them to have a strong mental right now.
Despite their loss to Liverpool, Manchester United demonstrated once again that they are the masters of the game against Real Betis. In the Europa League, Real Betis have no chance against Manchester United. We should concentrate on teams that have a chance to compete with them. I see Arsenal as a strong contender alongside them; I hope they don't meet soon and meet in the finals.

Seems little doubt with Arsenal after drawing result on first leg against Sporting Lisbon, difference with Manchester Unite got more enough capital against second leg after winning 4-1 from Real Betis.There are not mistake when favoriting Arsenal for Europe League tittle in this season, but got draw against Sporting Lisbon seems bad for Arsenal with impressive performance in domestic league. Not sure with Arsenal winning second leg although playing home because draw have 50% for both team winning second leg match. Manchester United having huge mentality winning after last match in Primer League destroy by Liverpool 7-0 and success wake up defeated Real Betis 4-1.
I also think that Arsenal isn't through yet. Their chances are good of course as they have their home game against Sporting, but the game still needs to be played and I wouldn't consider Sporting all too weak. In a good game they might cause Arsenal quite some trouble.
Arsenal's team is strong enough. But their main problem is that they want to continue their good performances in both Europa League and Premier League. And it's very difficult. They are focusing on both venue matches. And so their performance has deteriorated somewhat.
The first leg was a draw. I believe Arsenal will make a comeback. And Arsenal will dominate the second leg. But Sporting is a strong team. They must be dealt with very carefully. And the defense must be kept strong. If Arsenal's defenders don't perform well against Sporting, they won't be able to win.
For as long as the difference between Arsenal and City is only a few points, there won't be any easy games for Arsenal. I don't expect Manchester City to give a way a lot of points for the rest of the season and therefore Arsenal has no choice but to offer top performances every single game.
