It's actually difficult to predict who is going to be the winner in the match between Ajax and Union Berlin. But I will bet on union Berlin to win the match because of their past result so far this season. They have a winning record against strong sides like Braga, Monchengladbach, Bayern Munich, Leipzig, Hoffenheim, Borussia Dortmund, and many other stronger sides in Europe. But Ajax on the other hand does not have much winning record in strong matches this year. Perhaps they would be a difference this time.

Barcelona's Europa League match against Manchester United is still so long ago and in that match Barcelona hosted the first leg, so I'm not really worried about that. Surely Xavi will evaluate all the players and performance during this season, plus Barcelona still have about 1 month more to prepare against the red devil squad. So I think Lewandowski will still be the first choice in attack and I think Man United must prepare everything for this match.

Xavi was also getting bad result last year once frankfurt has been kicking out barcelona from europa league. I think that it doesn't matter how many great players in your team as long as the team has bad team worker and that's going to have the same result as last year. Xavi itself already become a coach with very worst win rate from first 50 matches.

Laporta itself already said about his disappointed with the result from barcelona in UCL. I didn't know why this garbage coach has not yet been sacked and replaced with a good coach that can make barcelona even better.
I hope that MU will eliminate barcelona like what frankfurt did to barcelona last season.

I'm not a fan of The Red Devils. however, referring to what you said. I believe the club's internal problems have passed, after Ronaldo's departure from Old Trafford. Currently, Ten Hag has brought United on the right track compared to previous coaches after the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson.

I agree that United are still a long way from getting close to the Europa League final. however, at least they still have the same opportunity as the other teams competing in this championship. some other rumors about reports that Manchester United will be sold, I'm sure if this happens and is acquired by another company or billionaire, Manchester United will soon return to its prime.

Speaking of Juventus, actually I don't have much information regarding Italian League clubs. however, according to some rumors I read that Juvetus' internal problems were more complicated than what happened to Manchester United. However, I cannot verify the validity of these rumors.

In essence, as a football lover I am happy to see matches that are very interesting and entertaining.

This is first time for Union Berlin qualified to play off match because before this season Union Berlin only can able to play at conference league last season and they were failed to qualified at that time because only finish at 3rd place on standings group and obviously Ajax is the favourite considering they have more experience to playing at europeaan competitions more than Union Berlin

Maybe Ajax has slightly strong than Union Berlin especially on Eredivise Ajax has joined race with Feyenoord for race title but the opposite from Union Berlin because at their domestic league they have to struggle return to winning track and indeed this match is very difficult to predicted because both of teams were never met before so Union Berlin can be playing unpredictable and possibly beat Ajax i think this not impossible considering on europa league i was often to see big teams were defeated by underdog teams

Ajax and Union have not seen each other for a long time. and the meeting of the two of course will be interesting. team gatherings of equal strength, of course, will always attract attention. it is difficult to predict because Ajax also experiences ups and downs in its performance. Likewise, Union was once very strong at the top of the table, and eventually, they lost their consistency.
maybe it will be difficult to predict this match, but I will bet on Ajax.

yeah, i feel it about how difficult for me to pick which team that will be used to bet on it but it seems like that there will be a lot of changes gonna happen before february as the clubs like MU and barcelona have been aiming to sign so many new players in january. I can imagine the atmosphere of europa  league is pretty much the same like champion league. The last season was really unpredictable just like mostly of people were betting on barcelona but frankfurt was defeating it. The same situation may happen again. i don't put so much hope for the clubs with big name in the europa league caused by any team have same chances to win the trophy. Ajax vs Berlin gonna be a very interesting match too. I would believe if there will be many surprises to come in february along with ucl.

Well, personally I think that this time the Europa League will be very exciting, it is obvious that some of the teams are quite well armed, but all the attention will be on Barcelona, which is the team that promises the most, just like Man United In general, these teams are giving a lot to talk about, Man United is the one that intrigues me the most because after what happened with CR7 it is very likely that there will be a lot of controversies, some players want to leave because the They did very well in the World Cup, especially the players from Portugal who have a lot of participation in the team. Also with a trainer like Ten Hag, I think many will want to leave.


The truth is that it is difficult to determine what can happen, because the teams that I think are stronger are Barcelona and Manchester United, but due to their big (different) problems that the teams have, it can have an impact on their way of playing, because the players when they feel that there are problems in their club there are many things that do not work well, there is no better thing than everything being fine and in harmony, in part I would like the teams to be 100% because that way it is much more enjoyable, instead if teams lose, they can say it was because of internal problems and all the excuses they can come up with.

Now in the Europa League a curiosity:

The major UEFA rule change to affect Mykhaylo Mudryk if he completes Arsenal transfer

I agree that everyone has the same proximity to the Europa league title. But they are certain things that promote the proximity of one team over that of the other team. Manchester United for instance are currently facing internal drama as stated by maju69, and this challenge is currently giving Ten hag a tough time on how to choose his standard first Eleven team. All may affect Manchester united performance in the subsequent European league and the England EPL matches. Secondly,  Eric Hag is yet to find a befitting Tactic for the current squad he is using. The ones he managed to win are all trial patterns, not team-owned tactics. I pray before then he has tactics that will be best to play against Barcelona.

I dunno why a player like lewandoski should be signed to FCB; the man is  aged and should be thinking of enjoying retirement right from his stay in Bayern ... How long do you think he's got to play?? That's economic waste, believe me. Plus, he's need to be given some time to adjust to the Spanish system and game play -- which is the reason he's not really performing as expected -- that while could even take a whole season. Isn't that exactly what happened in LEO's case?? When he was moved to the french league, it became almost impossible for him to score a goal until became familiarized. I won't conclude that Xavi is a flop but he thinks that most players that's made PAST legacies could still function effectively today -- that's impossible.
The progress was supposed to be planned and subscribed during the world cup break as you Said; if nothing was done, then they're finna lose woefully... No big deals

Also the next games they are going to play will be Espanyol, ATM, Betis, Getafe and some Spanish cup thing in between. So even if it was "any 3 next games including europa" for example, which it is not like you said, they would still not play United in the next 3 games at all, they will play like 9 games before they play against United, their game will be 16th of February which is a long way out.

I feel like the team could change so much until then, not only Lewandowski will come back and hopefully could stay healthy, but we are talking about maybe some transfers during winter break as well and that could be quite amazing for them. Maybe even build a better team.

Actually I can't say that Barcelona are perfect now either. Because they have had serious problems in big matches as we all know very well from the ones they have played so far. Lewandowski was very ineffective as well in those matches but the team performance was also bad. It didn't change no matter in what tournament they played. I'm wondering about this the most as a result. Xavi had a very much time in the World Cup break to think of a solution for this. Because it means everything to the team.

If they don't make progress about this then I won't be surprised even if Manchester United eliminate them in the Europa League. As a result it is still early to be sure of anything about this draw.

But that doesn't stop them from playing in the final or semifinal, right? Everyone will notice that they are not the Manchester United we know then, but now they are heading for a change for the better. Erik Ten Hag carried out a difficult process because he had to build Manchester United from adversity first. He also couldn't immediately implement what he wanted because he had just joined Manchester United. They have the same opportunity as Barcelona.

I agree with you that now it is difficult to determine the winners of the upcoming matches. Especially difficult to do so between Barcelona and Manchester United, Ajax and Union Berlin, Salzburg and Roma and Sevilla and PSV. Especially when considering last year's unexpected final, when Eintracht Frankfurt played Glasgow Rangers. Perhaps this year there will be surprises waiting for us too.

I don't see United nowhere near the finals of Europa League this season and I also don't see them reaching semi-finals either. Why ? Well this team looks nothing like United and they are having a lot of internal problems in the club that are not surfacing around media and fans know this well. It would be a massive surprise if somehow United will win UEL and in my honest opinion , there are plenty other teams who are having better chances than them ...per example : Juventus.

I see Manchester United as more likely in this league. They have performed well in this league and have managed to win every match well. Hope they will play great in the next matches and move forward.

I thought it was obvious that the reasoning about experience is a joke (if you are serious, then Barcelona, by the way, has a lot of young inexperienced players compared to United).
As for historical patterns, I don't believe they matter. I only look at the current season and this season Barcelona looks frankly weak in the big games.
In general, you can expect any result, but for me, United is the favorite.

I just read from several news sources which I always refer to when looking for all football information. Xavi said that his squad could return to action without injured players, it's just that there was one obstacle, namely the absence of Lewandowski who had a red card suspension in his Domestic League. So if indeed Lewandowski is injured, can you give me some resources regarding that rumour.

As for Manchester United, I don't think it matters if Cody Gakpo prefers Liverpool in the end. even on several occasions when Jurgen Klopp was interviewed, regarding Gakpo. he said, that Gakpo will still play as a winger. However, it can also be rotated depending on the needs of the team when they are going to play the match.

Well, so I don't think Cody Gakpo is the only right player for United to sign. what they need is a pure striker, which is why Ten Hag was hesitant to sign Cody Gakpo in the end. I'm sure, if Ten Hag will bring in newcomers according to the needs of the team. they will perform even better, if they already have pure stickers. I'm quite optimistic, Manchester United will provide a fierce resistance against Barcelona in the playoffs later.

It seems like that whole of matches that will be happening in the europa league become even more difficult to predict. I just wanna see how MU will be able to win against barcelona. This is the most exciting match from whole of europa league matches that gonna happen next year. It seems like that so many people were also putting their attention to the barcelon against MU too. There are so many strong clubs who didn;t lucky enough to survive in UCL must be gone to the europa league.
There will be so many exciting match to come very soon. It's likely that so many people may be facing lose caused by betting in the wrong team.

It will be difficult to say which team will actually win these matches. Because the teams in each match are very strong. They will all want to qualify for the next round. Because of that, it can be said that the Europa League matches will be very competitive now.
