Topic: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season - page 199. (Read 58988 times)

In several seasons Roma has always managed to go further in the European League. And yes, I think this season Roma will be able to do it even though now their coach is different. Previously they were coached by Mourinho and managed to reach the final in the Europa League. And now under De Rossi's coaching, I think Roma will be able to do it too. because what we can see now is that Roma has improved rapidly in terms of performance on the field after De Rossi came to replace Mourinho.

Both teams are at the same level with I have feeling Benfica having better chance of qualification for the next round as they are superior in quality from the Marseille which is now also on better run and things are clearly indicating we will have good match between these two teams which are going to give their best after securing their place here in this round.

No doubt we have no good performance in early rounds, but now things are completely change, and they are surely going to give their best with after this round they will be having another challenging situation Liverpool or Atlanta will be in semifinal which is also interesting but for this game for me, I have Benfica to be gone through for the last four.

Roma has indeed improved a lot since being handled by De Rossi, but AC Milan has also improved.
We can look at the performance of these two teams in the domestic league and it can be seen that both teams are experiencing significant improvements in performance recently, so I think this match will be quite balanced.

It's very difficult to predict who will be able to advance to the semifinals because in my opinion these two teams have the same potential and for betting choices maybe we have our own point of view and there's nothing wrong with that because this is a match between two teams that are difficult because they have almost the same strength.

We already know the reason why Benfica performed poorly in the Champions League, because the club was not yet ready to compete against big clubs with higher performance and Benfica was lucky to be able to enter the UEL and be able to fight until the last 8 rounds.
I agree with you that choosing Marseille, which will qualify for the next round, makes more sense because Marseille currently has very consistent improvement and has greater readiness to beat Benfica and in my opinion, even though Benfica will compete at home, they will not be able to win. the aggregate score is higher than Marseille's score.
Louis Gasset as Maeseille's coach knows the right strategy to beat Benfica in the upcoming match.

I do agree that it is going to be a little different, we are going to see Marseille being better against Benfica. The reality is that Benfica didn't look that good and I agree with that, we should not consider their situation to be greater, it just doesn't look all that much better.

I personally believe that we are going to see Marseille a team with a momentum going higher, to do better, than a team like Benfica, who has a bad momentum, to win it. Betting on this one seems quite easy to me, I can see why people may feel like there is small difference, and they are right in the sense that we are not seeing anything marginal changing, but as long as it stays the way it is right now, I am not seeing anything similar between them.

Benfica were doing really bad in the Champions League group stage you know. They could have even found themselves at the bottom of the group if they didn't show some life signs in few games. Those signs have led them to reach the quarter finals in the Europa League now.    They had quite big difficulties against Toulouse and Rangers though.

This is why I'm doubting their chance against Marseille as well. Because after Marseille changed their manager recently they started to play way better. If Benfica can't get a win home in the first leg I think they would be in serious danger to be eliminated. I'm favouring Marseille because of liking their game these days. 

Judging by the description of the injuries, most of them are not serious and the players will be able to take part even in the first game, which will take place on April 11. Most likely we will see both teams with almost optimal lineups. I don’t think that the chances of Milan and Roma are equal, Milan is a confident favorite by all indicators and I’m almost sure that it will be able to capitalize on its advantage.

Roma have improved so much under De Rossi and they are a stronger and better team right now. The last two games between the two teams in the Seria A ended in a defeat for Roma, as Ac Milan beat them home and away. However, this game is going to be different from their recent games, it is a two leg match and Roma are in a stronger position that they were before. The game will be tough and very hard to pick a winner, but i think Roma will go far in the competition this season and they have to beat Ac Milan to go that far.

In the quarterfinals of the Europa League of course everything can happen, but still their influence and performance in the domestic league is our reference to predict which team will advance to the next round, although luck is needed by a team but the performance and quality of the team are the main factors for them to beat their opponents, I think we are all here favoring Leverkusen and Liverpool at the moment is it because they are currently at the top If Leverkusen were a mediocre team like last season that was near the relegation zone, would we all say if Leverkusen was a strong candidate to win the Europa League this season?
off course not..!

Realistically I don't think anyone would want to favour a bad team in the league to be favourites to win the Europa League at the moment, I think Leverkusen and Liverpool are the only two teams to reach the final, and even If those two teams meet in the semi-finals of course one of the two winners is a strong candidate to win the Europa League trophy this season.

The Europa League clearly has differences with the domestic league, but we can assess a team's performance there.
In Europa League, which uses a knockout system, anything can happen and even luck will be quite influential here.

There's nothing wrong with predicting Liverpool and Roma's final, because both teams have good quality, but it's not easy and I really don't think that the course or what happens in the Europa League will be in line with what many people predict.

I see that many people believe in AS Roma under the direction of De Rossi, it seems that De Rossi has succeeded in making some people more confident when they see AS Roma with the strategy he implemented. This is good news for AS Roma because according to the assessment made by many people it means they have shown quite good improvement so they have more trust now.
I also don't rule out the possibility that AS Roma will be able to win this match, even though on paper AC Milan is more favored than them, but that is not a final result that will definitely happen, it is just an analysis and prediction that might happen and might happen. not occur.
AS Roma just need to prove that even though they are not the favorites, they can still give their best in this match. They will definitely try hard to get AC Milan eliminated from the European League this season. Nothing is impossible that can happen, because they also have a very good chance of happening.

Sanches, Dybala and Smalling will back on early April, so they only have 3 injured players during the match if there's no more new injured player. Milan was strong during 90's, now they're like a mediocre team. Since Roma is more stable even though they're made nothing in Serie A, but Roma is better than Milan.

The first leg will held on San Siro, if the match ends in draw or Roma's win, I believe Roma will definitely qualify to the round.

We don't know yet whether Liverpool and Leverkusen will meet in the final or not because we are still waiting for the semifinal match. It is not yet known who Liverpool or Leverkusen will be against or whether they will meet first in the semifinal. Everyone also hopes that Leverkusen and Liverpool will meet in final match so we can see who is the strongest between the two regarding their abilities in their respective leagues in occupying the top position of the standings, these clubs are the strongest candidates in the race for the European League title this season even though there are still Milan and Roma but the clubs This is not really a favorite because its appearance is less consistent.

Leverkusen has indeed shown extraordinary ability this season in beating Bayern Munich, even though Bayern Munich is a big club and its performances in the Bundesliga and Champions League are always in the spotlight but Leverkusen was able to beat the Bundesliga giant and break its dominance. This can be used as a reference in facing Liverpool in the future because Liverpool and Bayern Munich's performance is almost equal so Leverkusen can still challenge the big Premier League club.

Indeed. Bayer Leverkusen is leading with 10 points gap. The must be confident with the chance to win the title of Bundesliga this season. Sure, they won't feel relaxed, they will always focus on winning every match in Bundesliga. But it won't be a very big burden anymore because they are getting closer with the title. There are only 8 remaining matches, I am sure it won't be so difficult to get points in each the match. I see the substituted players of Leverkusen performed well, too. So, Xabi Alonso won't be so difficult to rotate the players both in Bundesliga and Europa league.

It is not sure that AS Roma can defeat AC Milan. Many people assume AC Milan is still better than AS Roma. I can understand that people favor AC Milan because AC Milan has a better experience and history in international matches. If we learn the current performance of these teams, I think both AC Milan and AS Roma has almost the same chance. But AS Roma seems to have more injured players.

I like your assessment and I truly commend the honesty haha. One thing about knock out competition is that it doesn’t care it you are top of the league or bottom of the league

League form is different from European form.
Tie is open for anyone to win

That's what you're thinking, but for me, I will say not that they're not a team that can challenge the Bayern Leverkusen, they are topping the table with a high point that doesn't make them proud to be their only favorite team in the Bundesliga, and I have doubt that they will not continue to remain in that top standing. Because there are also some teams that, even though Bayern Leverkusen meets with them, they can definitely find the match so difficult, team like West Ham, although they are also among the favorites in the Bundesliga.

However, You stated that Bayern Leverkusen is ahead of many teams with 10 points. I think you should go back to the table and cross-check again, because in my view, that's not what the table gave me. Bayern Leverkusen is only ahead of some teams with a few points, which is not up to 10 point.

Seriously, I don't think there will be a team in the Bundesliga that will be a challenge for Bayern Leverkusen. They are topping the table there, and I believe they are the favorites there. For now, Bayern Leverkusen have a high chance of winning the Bundesliga title. They don't have many obstacles there again, so even if they decide to focus on the Europa League, they can still make it in the Bundesliga. They are 10 points ahead of many teams, which is not a small interval, so you are right by saying they can do something here and make the Bundesliga title this season, and the fact that the Bundesliga title is already for them because I think there will be a team in the Bundesliga.

but once they see any changes from their play, they should go back and put in more effort in the Bundesliga because too much concentration in the Europa may weak some players, so I think they should know what to do at the exact time.
 

Roma has actually improved their form as compared to their form before now earlier this season but it's really surprising that the same Mourinho who was able to get them to winning the league has also been the Coach who saw them through till they became a poor performing team so it's really surprising for me because I would have taught they would have done much better .

Mourinho who was able to get them from their worse days to glory days such that they even ended up with a trophy had to be relieved of his duty because it was at some point looking like he wasn't delivering enough as the team wanted him to so he had  got to make sure he gets to the the standard expected of him.but the team seemed like they were loosing out so they had to let him go and get another coach who could help them get to achieve the kind of results they would want to achieve probably before the end of the season but then Rossi may not be able to get to top four .

If Rossi is able to get Roam to top four then he will be deserving of every accolades which will be accorded him, because it can be considered an achievement because he was able to come in the middle of the season as took the team to a better position on the table making them attaining some levels of stability again in the Europa and in their domestic league they have shown a very good level of improvement enough.

With what Bayern Leverkusen has shown from the start of the league until now, I wouldn't be surprised if they win the Europa League title when they face Liverpool. Liverpool are the odds-on favourites to win the title when they meet in the final, based on the level of football each team plays and puts into the competition. After their recent victory over Bayern Munich, I have never seen Bayern Leverkusen as a weakling and believe they are capable of facing any team in Europe. They simply had to be consistent, which they did and has also gotten them this far. Overall, a final match between Bayern Leverkusen and Liverpool will be worth watching because of the excitement and enthusiasm by fans that will be filled in that match.

I don't know if facing a team from the same league is good or not since the result might be totally different than what we could expect in their domestic league.
In Serie A, Milan is playing better while Roma results improved a lot than what it used to be under Mourinho.
Until we see how good Roma could perform against Milan in the first leg, I find AC Milan favorite in their home. I think Roma should try to keep a draw so they could have a bigger chance when hosting their opponent.
