I never imagined it would happen with Brighton. I thought that since De Zerbi was a former coach of a Serie A club, this could be used as the main point to pick Brighton to win the game against Roma, but the gameplay showed the opposite, as Roma has been destroying Brighton. It really surprised me how bad Brighton's quality is right now.
It's being very far from what i have expected if brighton would be lost but with narrow score. Brighton gets another setback since zerbi was unable to maintain the club in showing better improvement. What i have seen was not an improvement but this another disaster for brighton.

It's obvious that Roma will win the second leg, and it would take a miracle for Brighton to change the aggregates back again soon. It's hard for brighton to make it happen. Even if club will be using its best squad and im not even thinking that is gonna happen soon.
Roma is too strong to be compared with brighton at this time. People shall have realized how bad de zerbi is now. And they shall realize never getting overproud of him was not good at all. I hope that

There may be various narrative to happen. This is the worst thing faced by brighton, i can't even believe it how brighton was suffering huge losses in the first leg.

Liverpool this season they are performing great in the two important leagues, English Premier League and European League. Liverpool is a consistent performing team in the English Premier League and since the beginning of the season, Liverpool have been performing consistently. The teams that are in the English Premier League are strong enough teams and the teams that are in the European League are also strong enough teams, so there is not much difference between the opponents of the European League and the English Premier League. In the English Premier League, competing with teams like Arsenal and Manchester City, Liverpool is number one in the points table, and it is expected that Liverpool will win the title for the first time in the European League this season.

The defeat experienced by Brighton was quite surprising to everyone because this club was defeated by Roma with a fairly large score since the first leg, even though many predicted that Roma would have difficulties when they met Brighton, but in reality it was Brighton who had difficulties facing Roma. It could be said that Brighton's opponent this time was not a club which can be underestimated, even though Roma's condition is not very consistent in the domestic league, Brighton's condition is also the same so that the two clubs can be said to have almost the same performance, it's just that Roma is superior in terms of experience and also Roma, after being coached by Daniele De Rossi, is starting to show very good improvement.

I think the problem that Brighton is currently experiencing is that their defense is a little weak and their attack line is also not very productive, making it difficult for Brighton to create opportunities. We can see the productivity that Brighton has created so far this season in the domestic league, they have scored 50 goals but conceded 44 so the difference is only 6 scored. Brighton concedes very easily and this is quite a difficult job for coaches to continue to compete to improve their attacks and strengthen their defense again, but it seems like this is too late because Roma have already sealed their victory in the first leg so Brighton no longer has opportunity in the second leg if they don't create a bigger aggregate than Roma.

The UEL game ended in Roma's favour as once again they ensured a clear 3points victory with a wide goal margin too. This only assures then of a bigger possibility ahead of the second leg clash which seems to be in Roma's favour. They did a good job putting Brighton in that tight corner even though majority of us thought Brighton would stand up to the fight and try to reduce the goal gaps regardless. Roma have been able to gather enough confidence ahead of their domestic league games. Even though the top 2 spot isn't assured to them, they've been able to fight to maintain relevance and as well ensure that they secure an European ticket next season, just their consistency matters at this point.

 The advancement journey won't be easy, the forthcoming league games too won't be easy. But I believe De Rossi is set to give his best for the team judging from the result of their last two games.For Brighton specifically, they've been impactful and are striving to stay in shape in the Premier League, yes they've also had to fight hard to show relevance in the European trophy chase and this is one feat that they should be celebrated for. They've had a couple of EPL encounters with very much competitive teams considering the nature of the league and these encounters have a couple of times ended fairly and advantageous for them. Even though a few of the game outcomes caused their setbacks towards a better spot on the league table.  

 Still they're unfailing in their task of delivering good points at the end of games. For the past two seasons, they've made notable differences and this season has been the biggest difference made. It's good to see the smaller teams rise up to challenges, this and more is definitely changing the whole narrative of football as the years go by. I believe that there's still more to expect of this slowly turning dangerous side next season. They're good at what they do and reducing is not an option but rather improving and striving more to be better.

Actually leaded over two goals has advantage for AC Milan to secure quarter final place for facing Slavia Praha on second legs match, but they need to play more carefully for second legs as away match looking the first leg match result the opponent teams played with 10 players since 26th minutes but easily for scoring two goals. I think has difference result if Slavia Praha played with ten players and not easy conceded 4 goals on the first leg match.
Slavia Praha will play with higher intensity in the second leg to pursue  two-goal deficit to qualify for the quarter-finals, Slavia Prague must win above three margin goals if want get one place in the next round. Get more motivating when playing as the home match, such as AC Milan easily lead over 4-2 on first leg match when playing on their home seems has potential for Slavia Praha make come back exactly give the best for their fans.

Since it's one step at a time, then it's squad rotation ahead to f the fixture against Liverpool. As they'd b traveling to Old Trafford to make sure they try to deliver and win in the FA Cup Competition.
Manchester United though would be having players like Rasmus Hojlund, Lisandro Martinez and lastly Harry Maguire all back from selection. That game would not see more that two goals and nothing mess than three goals at home as they host Prague.
Taking risk would be peng, I'm sure Pep Guardiola would go use those youngins he's used to win the cup Competitions against Chelsea.

Cry not for Brighton for they'll be exited. The best the you have to do right now is to move on. As Roma would definitely be that club advancing ahead into the fauckin next round of the European Europa League Competition.

For Bayern Leverkusen, it's case closed already for them to jump back into that gake and salvaged a point. I don't even know what's cooking. Glad to finally see Victor Boniface running on the grass.

It will be a very difficult match for Brighton when their performance is unstable. plus, an aggregate difference of 4 goals is not an easy matter to reverse the situation. moreover, if Brighton can make a comeback to win this match with an aggregate of more than 5 goals. even then, if Roma is unable to score a goal in the second leg meeting tomorrow. apart from that, De Zerbi still has several players who cannot be played in this match. I'm really not sure what De Zerbi and his squad will do, whether they will let AS Roma progress to the next phase and focus on the Premier League. because their opponent in the next match is Liverpool. even though they still have a break, the Brighton players need a break to restore their energy to play match after match until the end of this season.

Now Brighton is in 8th position in the Premier League standings, and if Brighton wants to improve its performance and overtake the teams above their ranking. that means, De Zerbi must return Brighton's performance to normal. in the second leg match which will be held tomorrow, the home team is more favored by the betting market than AS Roma.
Referring to the betting odds, it is very likely that AS Roma will only play mediocre without being determined to win this match. In essence, De Rossi only needs a draw. and perhaps, he had prepared his strategy for that. that's why Brighton is far superior. my estimate is that Brighton will win the match, but with effort and hard work. my guess is that AS Roma still has the right to advance to the next phase. so, to be sure, let's wait for the meeting between these two teams to be held tomorrow.

Basically, Liverpool has a main player crisis at this moment, so of course for the second leg, even though Liverpool is playing at home, but it still doesn't mean Liverpool has to playoptimally. The reason is, Liverpool have won 5-1 on aggregate and thus, even if in the second leg, for example, Liverpool lose 3-0, but Liverpool will still qualify. So yes, with the situation and conditions that Liverpool are experiencing at this moment, it seems impossible for Klopp to continue to force his players to play optimally. Because after all, there are still othermatches that have to be played and a fit squad is stillneeded and as such, I sure player rotation will be carried out and it looks like the match will not end as big score as happened in the first leg.

AC Milan must be able to maintain the score they got in the first leg, because in the second leg it is likely that their opponents will play hard to win the match. In the first leg AC Milan got the advantage because from the 26th minute they played against 10 Slavia Prague players, and when Slavia Prague played with 10 people they were still able to score 2 goals, I asked what would happen if they played with 11 players.

In this second leg, they have the advantage of playing at home, and they will also be playing with 11 people again, which is what makes AC Milan have to be very careful with them. 2 goals is a quite large aggregate, but that doesn't make them safe now because SLavia will be more motivated in this match. AC Milan must minimize all the mistakes they have made so far, because SLavia is very likely to be able to turn the mistakes they make into an advantage for Slavia. This is a tense round for AC Milan because they are not completely safe. Slavia will also do everything they can to win this match.

Liverpool is way better than Sparta Praha and the fact that the first leg score was way uneven in favour of Liverpool then Sparta has nothing to lose. If I am the coach of Sparta, I would play full defence with careful counter attacks, I am losing anyway so it would be better to return home with a draw rather than 10 goals after two legs.

With a 4-goal aggregate win it seems difficult to see De Rossi still fielding their main squad in the second leg, I think De Rossi will rotate a large number of his main players in the game to give their reserve players a chance to play, especially now that the main focus for De Rossi besides the Europa League is of course to bring Roma to finish as high as possible in the Italian League standings,  Roma, who are now ranked 6th in Serie A, will play Sassuolo next week and their have 3 days for roma squad to rest after the match against Brighton later.

Facing a busy schedule that might affect the stamina of the players, of course, De Rossi does not want to take risks by fielding their main squad in matches that have relatively safe results for them, so it is very likely that De Rossi will field second-tier players to fill their attack later, especially now that Dybala is in doubtful condition,  Likewise, the midfield may also have a bit of rotation by fielding reserve players because after all Roma need a strong midfielder in facing Sassuolo later, while for the goalkeeper position it may be Svilar or Rui Patricio and the defensive line will of course still be filled by players such as Zeki Celik, Mancini, Ndicka, and Spinazzola to anticipate the surprises that might be given by the Brighton attackers in the match later.

Yes, no one would have thought that the final score in the match between AS Roma vs Brighton would be 4-0 in favor of AS Roma. Because Brighton itself is actually a team that can be troublesome, maybe they were not lucky in that match so that AS Roma could easily beat them with a landslide score like that.

In the second leg, Brighton will be the hosts, but with such a long distance, I have doubts about them. Indeed, nothing is impossible in a football match, because anything can happen. However, AS Roma, who already have the advantage in hand, will not let Brighton win just like that. AS Roma will play as hard as possible to maintain their advantage achieved in the first leg. Just imagine if they failed to maintain their lead, it would be something very detrimental, especially for De Rosssi. Because of course many people will start to question why the strategy he implemented in this match was not good. I don't want to bet on a match like this, because in my opinion an aggregate like that will make the match unable to be easily predicted.

Liverpool was already a much better team anyway, it doesn't really feel like it would have been any other way. I did expected them to score a lot because they got the first game so Sparta had to attack, they couldn't play a defensive game since they needed a win to go up, and that meant their defense would be lacking and Liverpool is just way too good to let that slide, which meant that attackers of Liverpool would find good chances to score, which they did and that makes sense.

I feel like it's just only natural that they would have something like this, it's the type of game that first leg caused. Also the level difference between the two clubs is huge, they are not even remotely close to each other and that makes sense.

Yes, the results of the first leg match are completely beyond reason, because Brighton also has strength in the Premier League but has to accept the bitter reality. A 4-0 difference was certainly not an easy job for Brighton to catch up and Roma also did not allow their opponents to equalize.

Roma, who are currently on fire under De Rossi's control, will definitely play as usual, they certainly don't want to implement a defensive scheme. The Giallorossi also want to win again to increase the players' confidence. Dybala and his friends are also very eager to progress further in this tournament.

Over 2.5 will be the best option because no matter the squad rotation Klopp will do, I don’t think they will score less than two goals in the match because they need to win all matches they have in order to increase their chance of winning the Europa League, same as Premier League and the FA Cup.

But I believe Sparta will score one goal in the match, so betting both teams to score will be a good one, but very risky because Liverpool might block everywhere, and Klopp might decide to play young players to give them chance to play as well which may result to Sparta scoring a goal in the match

I wasn't expecting the first leg match to end like that. AS Roma leading Brighton with a four-goal win seemed like a big number to me. Brighton is not a weak team, and they were not supposed to concede four goals to AS Roma in one match. I'm very impressed with AS Roma's performance under new head coach De Rossi. As things stand, I don't think Brighton has much chance of qualifying from this stage again. After what they did in the first leg match, I lost faith in them to make it through this stage. I expected an exciting match in the first leg, but due to their poor performance, the game was not so exciting to watch as the game was just one sided in favour of AS Roma.

I think Brighton might just end their journey in the Europa league at this point and may not be able to go any further because they don't have the experience to further be able to beat Roma to get ahead in the tournament, its their first experience and so much shouldn't be expected of them and just like you did mentioned getting pass the group stage is quite a good level of achievement they have gotten already.

This will definitely add to their wealth of experience so if there be a next time for them in the Europa they will know how well to tackle the situation and be able to navigate their way through, currently hwy have almost no chance of getting pass this stage of the Europa to the next stage because they would have to score above five goals against Roma in their next meeting if they would want to qualify for the next rounds of the tournament and for a team that won then four goals in the first leg, I doubt if it's possible they will be able to get up to four goals against them in the second leg.

Roma may most likely get to the quarter finals of the Europa but my doubts is within the fact that they can't get to the finals because they may not be able to take out the bigger team they will be meeting at these stages of the league, if they are able to get to the finals, even if they don't win I will still say they have achieved a whole lot in the Europa this season because they never looked like they can at the beginning.

I think that in this game the bookmakers give priority to Brighton simply because for Roma any result (even defeat by a couple of goals) will be acceptable. With 4 goals to spare, they won't worry too much about the result. But based on these considerations, the result of this game becomes incomprehensibly random. Will Brighton try to win knowing that they won't be able to win back (I think we have to be realistic) 4 goals? No one knows. This could be a win for any team or a draw. If I were forced to choose, as always in random games, I would choose the underdog in order to get the maximum compensation for the risk.

I think it will take a miracle for Brighton to qualify for the next round, with an aggregate of 0-4 against As Roma amidst the team's declining performance.
Yes, we all know that since being handled by De Rossi, AS Roma has shown extraordinary performance, in Serie A it is almost close to being in the top 4 and in the Europa League facing Brighton it will have no difficulty in qualifying for the next round.
Even though Brighton can beat AS Roma at home, in my opinion it will be difficult to catch up from 0-4, or Roma will even increase their goal deficit, this will be an exciting match for us to watch.

Judging by your prediction concerning this game, it's obvious that you know football very well. Last week Thursday at Sparta Praha, Liverpool won with a high margin and that's why I don't expect them to use their starting VI when they host the Czech Republican club tomorrow at Anfield. As we all know, Liverpool is in strong competition with other top English Premier League clubs to win the league title at the end of the season and are trying to make sure that most of their first team players will be fit enough to keep challenging for the trophy so I don't expect Liverpool manager to field his most important players in a tie they're almost certain of winning.

Jurgen Klopp is trying to make sure he wins as many trophies as possible this season because of the fact that he'll be leaving the club at the end of the season and the resilient spirit in the Liverpool squad I think suggests that the club players are ever ready to make sure they make they bring dreams of their manager  to reality and that's why I expect Liverpool to still beat Sparta Praha tomorrow even with their second VI. My prediction of the game is that Liverpool will win and over two goals will be scored in the game
