I will not side with anyone here because the opinions of @KTChampions and @Republikcoin.com are both reasonable.
Indeed, surprises like last season could happen again this season considering that this is a football bet with millions of surprises in several matches considering that surprisingly Sevilla became the UEL title holders last season and no one would have thought that Sevilla could become the title holders because everyone would be more choose to bet all in for Barcelona or Arsenal.
There's nothing wrong if we try to bet on this match but keep it with a small amount to prove whether last season's surprise can be repeated this season because Sevilla couldn't qualify for the playoffs and currently the favorites are Leverkusen and Liverpool and maybe this candidate that won't change, but it could be Milan who will provide the next surprise.

If I refer to Fabrizio Romano's report which stated that Moh Salah's agent, Ramy Abbas, stated that Salah's injury was more serious than previously thought. he will be out for 21-28 days. His best chance of participating in AFCON at this time is to undergo incentive rehabilitation in England and join the team as soon as he is fit, this news was reported by Romano on January 23 yesterday. To be honest, I don't follow developments regarding the AFCON competition. but apparently, considering the long absence of Moh Salah. It is very likely that he will not return to AFCON, either because the national team is eliminated or the competition has ended.

Once again I will say, I really don't follow the development of the Africa Cup of Nations at all. So, I don't know all the related information. What is certain is that Moh Salah must focus on recovering from his injury and returning to the team fit again. the problem is, the Premier League competition will be waiting for him and Liverpool will have quite tough matches. With Moh Salah's absence, it could have an impact on Liverpool in a crucial match. automatically, he had to focus on recovering from his injury. As for the Europa League, Liverpool doesn't need to worry. because after all, the round of 16 of this competition has not yet been scheduled. that's natural, because the playoffs haven't been held yet. So, Liverpool can focus on other competitions, especially the Premier League and Jurgen Klopp really needs Salah's presence as one of the core players in his squad.

Egypt qualified to the knockout stage of the AFCON Competition, they played their last match without Mohammad Sallah and they did not lose the match which means they can cope without him even though we know that the team will not be as strong as it used to be because they have no hope on his return before the end of the tournament.

His absence will affect Liverpool in different ways which include their Europ League title hope and the Premier League because he is one of the key players in the team they all relied on.

Agree. We don't need to expect too much for the good result of AS Roma. When AS Roma could be the finalist last season, it was under Mourinho management and AS Roma was in a good condition. It is very different with the current condition, AS Roma is no longer under Mourinho management and AS Roma squad looks not convincing to go far in Europa League. I am even not sure really sure that AS Roma can qualify for the next round. In this play-offs round, AS Roma will play against Feyenoord, it is not a weak team. Feyenoord is a strong team, they are in the second place of Eredivisie standings. Meanwhile AS Roma is in 8th place of Serie A table, AS Roma is experiencing a bad season. Moreover, AS Roma is managed by a new coach with no experience in international competitions like Europa League. Considering this matter, not only you, I also doubt that AS Roma will perform well in this Europa League competition.

The Europa League which doesn’t feature much big clubs has it’s own surprises and that’s one big deal that makes the competition have surprises. We don’t have much big clubs competing there so we probably have some smaller teams showing up to a team you thought will go through which is what makes the tournament more interesting.

 The competition needs utmost concentration amd consistency to be able to succed and we see big teams being a bit relaxed in this competition because they see their opposition as less. Then the result then send a shocker to them and that what makes this competition crazy. Liverpool and Leverkusen are the only teams I know to be consistent and could probably be the finalists but they’ll have to be very cautious of small clubs or opponents.

It’s enough to look at last season not to believe but to know for sure, here’s who could have been in the final of last season: Arsenal, Barcelona, United, Juventus, Bayer, and in the end Roma played there (ok, although they obviously weren’t the favorites) and Sevilla ( LOL). So those who think that the favorites will win all the time (especially in minor tournaments) are of course mistaken. If you place bets in such tournaments, then live and probably against the favorites in order to catch a big odds.

I think, one thing we have to realize about AS Roma having good results in Europe is also that it happened in the Mourinho era but yes, at this moment AS Roma is no longer with Mourinho. Therefore, I think we don't fully expect AS Roma to get good results in Europe this time with De Rossi. Because after all, it is clear that De Rossi also has no experience in becoming a head coach on a team that plays in Europe. So yes, I personally might doubt the quality of AS Roma at this moment because yes, basically De Rossi also still needs time to be able to make the right rotation to keep the team's performance good at this moment and of course it will never be easy at all.

Salah's role in Liverpool is such that everyone knows is very vital and advantageous to Liverpool at every point where he's present and playing for the team. Salah's absence initial got an effect on the performance of Liverpool but they were quick enough to get their form back in place and made up for the space his absence would have created.

Apart from Salah, there are other players who constitutes the front line for Liverpool from which klop can still maintain the solidness of his front line, and still get some good results out of their performance . All Liverpool needs now is the ability to maintain stability with their form and consistently making good efforts to getting to  maintaining their position on the table in their domestic league and aswell making sure to get pass the round of sixteen in the Europa this season.

Next month, Feyenoord will face AS Roma, which will also be an important match for both teams because Roma itself is not a bad team when playing in the Europa League. So Feyenoord must be able to show the abilities they have against Roma in the Europa League this season even though Roma's abilities may not be the same as other teams in the Europa League, but the Knockout round is an important round for every team to win and continue to progress to the next round after this

Feyenoord was playing really good but in the last time they droped a b it their level, so i dont know who is the favorite in that key, when i see Feyenoord agains Atletico Madrid for Champions League phase group they played quite well, but the thing is against Atletico is difficult to measure because Atleticos ways to play is strange in some games.

Lens did appear impressive at first when they just started competing in the Champions League but in the end Lens gave up and failed to qualify for the next round and ended up in 3rd place where Lens had to take part in the European League play off round, to be honest I doubt whether Lens can qualify for this round because Personally, in my opinion, both of their performance are not very good in the domestic league. Lens is ranked 8th in League 1 and Freiburg is ranked 6th in the Bundesliga. I thinks in term of opportunitie both of them still have a big chances of progressing and I can't choose between these two clubs yet.

The second doubt is Roma vs Feyenoord because Roma have just changed coaches. Of course the strategy used by the current coach is different from Jose Mourinho, but I hoped that Roma can still qualify for the round of 16, although at the moments it is still a little doubtful. But I think De Rossi will do the same the best and can impress Roma fans with him.

Europa league is indeed quite different where we rarely see traditional big clubs, Madrid and Liverpool, won this competition. The Europa League has a history of delivering unexpected outcomes, and underestimating any opponent can lead to surprising results. Big clubs rarely put UEL as their priority that makes it signifant for the element of surprise. Teams like Bayer Leverkusen, which have been performing impressively, pose a legitimate challenge.

The parity among the teams in the Europa League is an essential point to consider. This underscores the competitive nature of the Europa League, with teams of similar quality vying for success. This tournament also requires consistent performance, adaptability, and resilience, regardless of a team's perceived strength. It's a fine cautious approach to acknowledge Liverpool's strength but wisely caution against underestimating the competition and highlight the potential for surprises in the Europa League.

Mate, Liverpool are better than nearly all of the teams in the competition. I mean that even without Salah they can still eliminate the majority of the teams left here. The biggest challenges would be Leverkusen and Roma I think. Especially Leverkusen because they are having a fantastic season with Xabi Alonso.

There is Milan too though. You must know about the epic Champions League finale played between Liverpool and Milan in the 2004/05 season.  Seeing these two facing each other again would really be meaningful.

We have too much talk about Salah injury with most chances he will be able to play again after few weeks with most chances he will be available for the UEFA Europa League game for the Liverpool but still performance in last game against Bournemouth give all how things are computable for them their all players are capable of giving their best and having impressive win which is good sign for them and if they are going to perform like this surely they will be still had good chance for the best end of this season with currently they are in four titles race, and they are capable of winning as they are expecting before this Salah injury.

But, Salah could be most important for them with his all performance and quality because he has done more than expectations and still his presence is moral booster for the squad which is having few youngsters which are going to have bright future in coming years.

No one in Liverpool squad can replace the role of Salah. Although he is an old player, his role is very crucial. It can be seen clearly in many matches, Salah contributed in most the goals of Liverpool.
It s not easy to get the replacement of Salah. Although Liverpool buys a new winger, the new winger may be difficult to adapt with Liverpool game. Darwin Núñez is the example of the new player in Liverpool who can't adapt well with Liverpool game although he is already few years in Liverpool.

Yes, he is the machine goal of Liverpool. If he isn't in the lineup, Liverpool often gets difficulty to score goals. Sure, Salah is the mainstay player for making goals. He also often contributed by delivering assists. He makes other players to score goals. He is also to attract the defenders of the opponents, so other Liverpool players can get the chance to scores.

This is what club are always afraid of, the FIFA virus can bring disaster to the club if their players are injured while defending their country in certain competitions. Liverpool is at the peak of its performance this season, Liverpool success in maintaining the stability of its performance cannot be separated from Salah role in helping create goals for his team. Losing Salah is a big loss for Liverpool because they are struggling in the Europa League and are under heavy pressure from Manchester City and Arsenal in the EPL. Yes, hopefully Salah injury is not too serious, Liverpool still really needs his strength for the remainder of this season.

I don't think the injury Salah is suffering right now is a serious one. I hope to see him recovering in a short time however I assume he wouldn't return from AFCON early as long as Egypt aren't eliminated. No matter what he can still be back until their Europa League matchup is decided. In the end Liverpool finished their group as the leader so they won't play in the current round.

But if Salah's injury is a really serious one unlike my expectation then a really tough time period is waiting for Liverpool in every tournament they are playing in. Because Salah is really the most important player in the attacking line at the moment. 

Mohammed Salah is currently out injured but is expected to be back soon from his current injury. He's still with the camp of the Pharaohs of Egypt who are currently participating in the CAF African Cup Of Nations and that I think suggests that he's still very much in shape to return soon and play in his county's upcoming games in the tournament. This idea will only work if Egypt will qualify from the group matches of the ongoing African Cup of Nations.

After Mohammed Salah's engagements with his country Egypt, he's gonna return back to Liverpool and is expected to feature for his club when they play in the round of 16 of the UEFA Europa League competition. Salah I believe is gonna have a good season with Liverpool in the competition but for any reason he becomes injured and can't play for Liverpool again, I expect Liverpool to still have a good campaign in the competition without their top scorer this season

Roma has new manager Daniele De Rossi not quit well for winning in playoff round, I think difficult for predicting between Feyenoord vs Roma which one potential team will lead to 16 of round. Currently with domestic league performance, Feyenoord have better than AS Roma including after sacking Jose Mourinho not easy for Roma less experience manager will success in Europe League.
No doubt Milan automatically will qualify to 16 round, relegated from Champion League less difference goals from PSG seems has large chance for Milan become the winner in Europe League after favorable teams Bayern Leverkusen and Liverpool.
Left three weeks before first playoff leg match begin, all playoff teams participants have make some rotation in domestic league if won't losses chance for qualifying to 16 round in Europe League.

Lens had a good first time In the Champions League but didn't get so far, the journey they've come so far now makes alot of sense. I'm rooting for em against the German side Freiburg.

Shakhtar Donetsk against Marseille is a great match, it'll have to do with lots of attacking football, I love Shakhtar Donetsk but I want to see Gennaro Gattuso successfull same way he was in his playing days. Galatasaray messed up in the Champions League this is a chance for redemption in the Europa League Competition they have to do better coz they're so experienced.

Milan flopped also, but they're big European giants and I expect them to win again against Rennes. Roma won them in the Conference Cup Finals and I expect them to go win this round for the next.
