If you look at the quality of the two teams, there is no significant difference, so indeed these two teams have the same percentage of being able to qualify for the next round.

If you look at Brighton's performance since the start of the season, they have experienced a slight decline in performance, although not significantly, and this is in contrast to AS Roma, which is improving in quality after changing coaches.

Maybe I see that Roma's superiority is just about mentality on the European stage and maybe that's the only thing that Roma can use to get rid of Brighton.
But whatever it is, it is clear that this is a fight that will be fierce and difficult for both of them.

Brighton and AS Roma are two middle teams in their league. I think it will be difficult to determine which team to qualify for the next round. Both of them have almost the same level and have similar quality of the squad. I guess the match will be tight because both teams have good players. However, AS Roma has a better experience in international competition like UEL. But I agree there is no guarantee for AS Roma to win against Brighton. Brighton is a team that often surprised us in EPL matches. So, AS Roma must be careful with them.

Brighton scored many goals in any competition this season but their defense looked not strong enough. Sure, AS Roma shouldn't underestimate Brighton because they have great attackers. But AS Roma can feel a bit calm because they seem to have a better defense. We can see from the stats of these teams in their leagues.

This match is interesting even though Brighton and Roma are two teams that have many differences. It's not just about squad depth and team performance, but the experience of the two teams in the Europa League is very different. Roma is a better team in the Europa League than Brighton, but this is not a benchmark to guarantee that Roma can win.

I like Brighton's game and they are a team that tends to be fast when building attacks. I think Brighton cannot be underestimated in the Europa League even though Roma has high experience, so there is no guarantee that Roma can easily progress to the next round.

Liverpool are competitive this season, having the carabao cup a couple of days ago and now they're fully focused on the EPL title, the FA Cup and finally the Europa. What do we expects from these brilliant players? I know to expects because the best comes with different excellent results. We should know that resting players are among the plans of Jurgen Klopp. He always finds good techniques in every games he featured. Liverpool are the current best team that have the most outstanding B team in the English Premier League. These Youngsters are confident enough and they're promising for the possible near future for the club. Liverpool are promising club in the Europa League. They're always stretching their heights for the tremendous winnings.

Manchester City and Arsenal are the striving force making Liverpool remained at their peak this season. There's no time for Liverpool to start having flopping results, remember their top rivals are closing on them. Jurgen Klopp knows spectacularly how to managed his team, he'd not in a hurry for results, he ensure the system goes according to his mapping. We know how difficult and challenging is for Jurgen Klopp to easily give up but he keeps everything in shape, making him to be the competent coach we all believe him to be.

It is very natural that he wants to be maximized in the last offering given as a form of Klopp's devotion to Liverpool but on the other hand this is also still quite difficult because after all the competition will continue to occur.
The FA Cup currently still has several big English clubs that will indeed compete against each other, for the EPL is also the same because currently there are still 2 other clubs, Manchester City and Arsenal, which enliven the situation of competition for trophies, for the Europa League they are still very favorite but don't forget that the Europa League is full of surprises and there could even be a condition that is not too unexpected from some dark horse clubs.

Now they just have to keep trying to be more consistent than before because with the tight schedule and tough competition in every competition that is run it will definitely make some difficult conditions for several clubs including for Liverpool because there will definitely be a lot of pressure that occurs. But the chance for Klopp to present several trophies in his final season is still very much there and wide open at the moment.

The way it is looking right now, I would say that it is going to be something that will change for the long term by Liverpool. They are definitely at their best but will their best be enough? Right now, we have seen them celebrate caraboa cup a lot, and we all know that the cup worths basically nothing, so they would care even more about Europa.

I am not sure if they will come out with their starting eleven, they will want their players to be fresh for the league because it looks like there is a possibility that they could win the league. It will be very hard, and it will be tough, but it is also possible at the same time as well. This is why I believe that they may want to rest as many players a s they can at the europa cup.

The next European cup game against Roma and Brighton is a prospective tough encounter as the both teams have their own species of good they add to their respective leagues. They're both competitive and know how best to implement favourable tactics too that'll match the kind of intensified contest they plan on putting on. Roma are a good side. Their manager De Rossi has some kind of ability to raise up a team into a pretty much successful squad.

 Even with the loopholes they're faced with, he's still been able to help the team stand out in some games. Injury has definitely been a number one deprivation of a team's performance but the manager has been able to make do with the players and squad he's got available and even though not perfect as expected, they're not relenting in their efforts. Although their performance against teams in the league didn't fully get good commendation but still they tried to secure the points to themselves.

 Brighton on the other hand, they've been impactful, currently striving to stay in shape in the Premier League too and so they've got same goal as Roma and therefore if in recent times they've remained at an average performance level, then I doubt that there'd be a negative difference now when the tournament and season is almost rounded up. For me, I'll really love to see the heated game between Roma and Brighton in the UEL soon though and I have a feeling that the game would practically end in a draw at the first leg but it's only best that one of the sides stands out more and secure the 3points ahead.

Liverpool first competed against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League before they flew to Sparta and Klopp had enough freedom to prepare his squad within 6 days, Apart from that, the distance between England and Czechia which is not too far certainly means that Liverpool players will still be fit when facing Sparta Prague later, the match against Sparta will definitely be an opportunity for Liverpool young players to prove their capacity and I also suspect that Klopp will keep most of his main players after the match against Nottigham Forest and most likely will not be played against Sparta, because Manchester City will be a strong opponent to determine Liverpool chances of becoming Premier League champions in two days after that the match.


Klopp has never underestimated his opponents all this time even though we can clearly see that Liverpool is stronger, like before the match against Sparta, Klopp still praised Sparta as a very strong team in the europa League, even though in fact the quality of Sparta  players is still very far from that of Liverpool's players,  but klopp respect for his opposing team has always made me admire him.

It also seems interesting, because Atalanta and Sporting were in the same group in the previous group phase, but Atalanta was the group winner and Sporting was only runner up. But even though Atalanta were the best in the group phase, I am sure that the match in the knockout phase willcertainly be a different situation and result. Because yes, after all, basically Sporting still has good quality or there is no significant difference with Atalanta. Because ya,in their two matches or two meetings in the group phase, the reality is that both teams still managed to score goals, meaning that no one really dominated for an easy win. Therefore,I also believe that Sporting has a goodchance of winning and qualifying, meaning that even though Atalanta may be the seeded team, but it is certainly not easy to get good results in a knockout phase like this.

This is Klopp's last season with Liverpool. So Klopp will want to bring maximum success to the Liverpool team this season. Premier League, Europa League and FA Cup are the three titles that Liverpool have the chance to win. And so klopp will want to continue the good performance in all three places. It's going to be very difficult. Liverpool's camp is already plagued with injuries. Many players of the team are injured. And performing regularly in such a busy schedule can increase the incidence of these injuries. So whether Klopp will now only want to win the Premier League title, or try to win all three titles, it cannot be said for sure.



Klopp is a very clever coach. He is quite experienced. And he knows very well that the opponent cannot be considered weak in any way. Moreover, the performance of Sparta praha players against Galatasaray was good. So don't consider this team weak Klopp. If there are two important strikers nunez and salah in Liverpool's squad in the match against Praha, it will not be difficult for Liverpool to win against Praha. However, when Salah and Nunez will be able to join the squad, it cannot be said for sure yet.

Home advantage is something thst can't be over looked because support you get from your home bases fans is a whole different morale on a different level and you wouldn't want to appear weak not in the presence of your fans and thats why some teams which we consider to be weak when they get to meet with another team we consider rough in their home, rhey usually try to make sure they get a goal by the end of the game because thst will be a show or their fans that they did the best they actually could and so home advantage is indeed an advantage for most teams. A team playing from home has got a significant impact on their confidence and I'm very optimistic in the fact thst it's mist definitely going to play out in the game between Brighton and Roma, in recent times you will agree with me that Roma has got a better home performance than they do when they play away Brighton also shares a bit similarities in thst aswell.

I'm not expecting to see an easy game for either sides buy Brighton keeps appearing like they may be the weak team as Roma in recent times have shown great performance against rougher teams and still manage to get good results from such game so it's really possible that they will be able to win against Brighton.

Brighton Albion performance result are not really impressive yet in domestic league match although success lead as top standings team in UEFA Europe League group stage. Of the last six matches in all competitions, Brighton Albion was only able to get two wins, three defeats and one draw. Its very bad result achievement for Brighton Albion and current standings in domestic league has 8 points remaining with Europe League spot standings.

In contrast to AS Roma's performance in the last 6 matches in all competitions, they managed to achieve three wins, two draws and one defeat against top team Inter Milan in Serie A, I think AS Roma has large opportunity for kicking out Brighton Albion on 16 of round Europe League.

Underestimate no club even if you don't know them completely. What have you checked about them? Have you accessed them at home? Do that and consider it again of Liverpool can knock them off the Competition easily.
They lost the away game to Galatasaray and came back hunting with four goals to one during the second leg of thengame they played at home.
They could still repeat the same against Liverpool. I'd rather go for them to score a goal in the game though.

Liverpool has been ambitious this season, they know whatever they want band they're going for it with taking double check about it. I would love to see what they have to show us! It's Klopps finals, they should impress.

I follow Portuguese soccer a lot and I hope that the Portuguese teams do well in the competition (and I'm still rooting for Porto in the UCL), but I have a point of view about Portuguese soccer that not everyone agrees with
The Italian, English and Spanish leagues, for example, are very difficult and have more strong opponents, and when teams from these countries face teams from other countries, most of the time they get good results due to the difficulty of the national league

I see the Portuguese championship as a bit similar to the French, with fewer teams at the highest level, so teams from these countries end up suffering a lot in continental championships

But I hope to see Sporting doing well, they are deserving something good this year

There are 2 advantages for supporters when playing at home, it will give them greater confidence in their favorite club and another advantage can reduce the mentality of the opposing players and when the opponent feels less confident and their mentality decreases, the performance of a club is very less than optimal and this time the first advantage will be won by Roma in the 1st leg of the match at home and if it is easier for Roma to score they should be able to get a higher aggregate score because after that Brighton will be the host when competing in the 2nd leg and if Roma wants to qualify they just need to maintain the aggregate score until 2nd leg match.
There seems to be no doubt that betting on the 1st leg of the match favors the highly favored Roma to win and De Rossi will show his intelligence in managing the Roma players.

Roma, after getting a new coach, made a few changes to improve their performance and the other side of Roma was strengthened after the presence of Lukaku who had a lot of experience and the return of Dybala which made Roma's attackers very strong.
De Rossi will prove to the supporters that this new coach can make a difference in Roma's performance to continue trying to chase the title at UEL this season and hopefully in the 1st leg Roma will get satisfactory results.

I agree with you that Sparta Praha's Europa League journey this season will probably end in the round of 16 with their opponents being Liverpool. Liverpool is one of the biggest favorites to win the Europa League this season, so it will be a very difficult match for Sparta Prague in this round. I think Sparta Praha's chance of winning this match is no more than 30% and the other 70% chance is owned by Liverpool.

Even so Liverpool should not underestimate their opponents, their status as favorites is not a guarantee for them to win this match. If they underestimate their opponents it will actually backfire on them. Liverpool must play as usual, they must play as well as possible to win.

In the first match Sparta Praha will be the host, they will probably take advantage of this match to be able to achieve positive results. Because if they can win the match, then it will increase their chances in the second leg. It's just that whether they will really be able to? I personally can't say yes, but we'll see.

This is most probably the end of the road for Sparta Prague. Liverpool were like the most difficult team they could have drawn in this phase. I wasn't even expecting Sparta Prague to reach this phase in the tournament by the way. Galatasaray didn't play as I expected and Sparta Prague got a really comfortable win in the second leg.

Anyways Klopp is trying to achieve every kind of title before he leaves the team this summer. Sparta Prague isn't a serious threat to them so they should be able to win in both legs. The biggest challenge for Liverpool would be Leverkusen here.  

Klopp know Liverpool has tight schedules and since the beginning of February Liverpool was playing 7 matches in all competitions so they were more busy compared to other Premier league teams and that's why Liverpool has facing storm injured because some of Liverpool players has suffering fatigue and before the match against Southampton yesterday Klopp has been confirmed at least 13 players who will not available and this situations is really not good because next month Liverpool has some important matches

About the match against Sparta Praha Klopp has give a statement about this match and he was very excited because Klopp feel Sparta Praha is strong team in this competition and Klopp said too Liverpool will be very serious for this match although probably Liverpool only playing with the current squad which mostly it was dominate by young players but Klopp says he will attempts to bringing Liverpool to gets the winning result later however Sparta Praha has fantastic records at their domestic league because from 22 matches Sparta Praha can able to gets 19 wins and only lost once so Klopp won't be underestimate this team

However, if we refer to the odds provided by the bookies, AS Roma is slightly superior to its opposing team, namely Brighton. temporarily Roma's odds are @2.43, while Brighton's are @2.95. If referring to Asian Handicap Batting, the margin for these two teams is at odds of 0:1/4. which means, AS Roma is equally superior to its opposing team, namely Brighton. If I refer to the odds options for both teams,.my estimation, both teams have a chance to beat each other. Moreover, recently the performance of De Zerbi's squad has decreased slightly. in the Roma camp, since De Rossi handled this team. AS Roma experienced a slight increase in their performance. Plus, De Rossi is not stuck with defensive formation patterns. in fact, not infrequently, AS Roma plays with an offensive system. Well, even though basically this Italian coach doesn't have much experience. In fact, he was able to improve the performance of his team's squad and is now almost close to the point difference from Atalanta.

IMO, even though Brighton often troubles the big teams in the Premier League, that doesn't mean De zerbi's squad can easily overthrow Roma at the Stadio Olimpico, Roma's headquarters. On the contrary, Brighton must be careful when they visit Roma, because one mistake they make could have fatal consequences. of Roma is able to win the match in the first leg, I am quite sure that Roma will be able to handle Brighton in the second leg. however, if the opposite happens, it means that it will be difficult for AS Roma to qualify for this phase if they lose at the Stadio Olimpico in the first leg. well, let's just wait, because there is still time until these two teams meet.

Despite all the advantages that you listed for De Zerbi, Brighton’s results are not very impressive, they are an unstable team and for me they and Roma have equal chances of reaching the next round. Roma are still on the rise since De Rossi's arrival, and will be looking to win the first leg in Rome, although Brighton played well away in the group stage.

I don’t know, in this pair the favorite is not so obvious to me, I think something will become clearer after the first match. Brighton are almost unbeaten at the Amex Stadium so if Roma want to have a chance they need to win at home, failing to do so will make life difficult for them in the return leg.
