Feyenoord isn't that bad in Eredivisie this season since Ajax Amsterdam is out of its form and the other top teams are close to each other with the exception of PSV Eindhoven which is doing very good and running away from them. In the other hand, Roma is fluctuating a lot in Serie A which is better than Eredivisie making the comparison between the two complex.
Even if Roma could pass Feyenoord, I doubt they could go through Bayer Leverkusen or Liverpool as you said. I doubt even they could reach semifinals.

The view on Mourinho and AS Roma, as well as Liverpool and Leverkusen. Mourinho has indeed had success coaching several clubs and has shown his strategic abilities. AS Roma will have to play a playoff match to enter the last 16, and if they are able to overcome Feyenoord, we will see who their opponent will be. It will be interesting to see how Mourinho guides the team towards their goals.

Liverpool and Leverkusen are currently performing well in the domestic league, and it's understandable that Klopp and Alonso may prioritise that competition. It's always difficult to predict the outcome in football, and other teams like AC Milan and Galatasaray should not be ignored. If these teams qualify for the playoff phase, they could potentially challenge the favourites in the competition.

AS Roma cannot be favorites to win the European League this season even though they were finalists last season. The fact that their performance has been so inconsistent in the domestic league makes everyone doubt that they will be able to perform like they did last season. This season the European league has some great strong teams such as Liverpool, AC Milan and Leverkusen who are performing very well this season. I can't conclude Roma's future because I will wait for the results of the European League playoffs between Roma vs Feyenoord to see their performance this season.

I must agree on this one. As.Roma is really having a bad season in Serie A so far and in UEL are not doing great either so a top 4 is really hard to achieve for them.

My bet would be that Levekusen will be the ones who will lift the trophy because it's been a while since I saw a football team playing such a simple football with simple players because they don't have superstars.

The competition in the European League this season is clearly tougher than last season. Leverkusen and Liverpool will indeed be a tough test for AS Roma. Because Leverkusen hasn't even been defeated in the Bundesliga and leads the standings there. Even Bayern is having difficulty in the Bundesliga to catch Leverkusen. And not much different from Leverkusen, we know Liverpool also leads the Premier League standings. So AS Roma's journey in the European League this season is a little doubtful. Moreover, they have been inconsistent this season and are still having difficulty fighting to climb to a better ranking in Serie A. And AC Milan will also be another test for AS Roma in the Europa League. Because Milan currently in Serie A is still much better than AS Roma. So I doubt that Roma will be able to make it to the final like last season. Because currently all teams seem serious about winning the Europa League.

We don't need to doubt Mourinho from his coaching side, he has proven that he has brought several clubs to win titles at the most prestigious events. last season, Mourinho was able to take AS Roma to the semi-finals against Leverkusen and into the final against Sevilla. even though I don't like his defensive style tactics, however, that is the art he shows in terms of strategy so that his team achieves the targets he hopes for. before we talk about Liverpool and Leverkusen, AS Roma must play a playoff match to enter the last 16. even then, if Mourinho is able to bring his team to overthrow Feyenoord. If this happens, we'll see which team will be the opponent. and for sure, I will not doubt Mourinho. because he knows very well what he has to do with his squad. Win or lose will be determined when their match is held later. the point is, the AS Roma coach will do something to further their goals.

Well, now we talk about Liverpool and Leverkusen. These two teams are in their best phase, especially in the Domestic League. what's more unique is that both of them are currently at the top of the rankings. but because of that, there will be a phase where Jurgen Klopp or Xabi Alonso prioritizes more important competitions. and the answer is none other than the Domestic League. that's why, we just follow when this competition is held. in particular, the teams we mentioned here. apart from that, we should not ignore other teams and some of them are AC Milan and maybe Galatasaray. Maybe if these two teams qualify from the playoff phase, it doesn't rule out the possibility of being able to overthrow the favorite team in this competition. after all, in football it is unique and difficult to predict for sure.

Personally, I think Jose Mourinho's had more chances of winning the UEFA Europa League competition last season when his team reached the the final of the competition before they were beaten by eventual winners Sevilla. This season, I don't fancy them to reach the final talk more of winning the competition because we have stronger teams like Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool in the competition and the above mentioned teams are undoubtedly the best sides in the competition.

However, Jose Mourinho is one manager that's very experienced especially in the European competitions as he's the only manager that's won the UEFA champions league, Europa League and the Conference League. So there's a possibility of Roma winning the trophy this season

Liverpool is really in a very good form and will sure be a strong team against ever other team in the Europa this season, with their recent performance in their domestic league it's obvious their form is very strong and they will be able to contend any of the teams in the Europa because most of the teams are not as good bas the premier league teams.

Liverpool's dominance I'm the Europa may have some hitches around Bayern Leverkusen who has continually remained unbeaten I their domestic league and across Europe this season, maybe if both tea.s happen to meet at any point in the Europa, they will be able to determine who's better in the Europa and then we would see if Leverkusen will still be able to maintain their unbeaten status across Europe.Roma is definitely not going to have a chance this season as the league is currently more competitive than it was previously.

They're a struggling side this season, not consistent and how do you plan on using that to win the European Europa League Competition?
Against Feyenoord they'll win, that alone I can vouch for but I'm not certain about them winning the Europa League Competition right now.
Slow and one step at a time, it could be them only hopes of qualification to the Champions League Competition next season so they'll go hard until they emerge winners.

Yeah, the officials that day did not do a good job and Jose Mourinho was pissed with that. He use to be one of the best at winning games with psychology but no more, they be messing with his emotions too easily.

Roma isn’t stable at the moment and I don’t see them winning the UEL let alone be in the last 4. Their performance in the league will play out in the UEL and I see them may eliminated in the Round of 16 or the Quarters because they’re not consistent winners at the moment. Liverpool and Leverkusen are the only clubs who have proven that they should be in the finals. AC Milan are in same shoes as Roma; inconsistency is their watch word. What could favor them could be the experience they’ve got.

 Roma will sure go to the last 16 and probably the Quater Finals but I don’t think they’ll be able to repeat their top notch Performance of last season. Liverpool and Leverkusen still are the teams that’s got eyes on them. Both leading the league in their respective zones and keeping good win records are what champions are meant to do and these 2 teams tick the box for this characteristics. Yes Milan will sure go through to the Round of 16 and they might get to the semi's.

I honestly don't think that they will be able to do it. Because there are other better teams. And those teams are also performing better compared to them (Roma). I simply do not think that the current performance of Roma is going to be good enough for them to be able to win the Europa League competition.

If you ask me who has the chance, I will say it's Leverkusen, They have the better chance to win. After all, they are performing well and better than anyone. I'm not sure if Liverpool is going to be able to continue performing well in both the English Premier League and also the Europa League competition. I honestly think they are going to crumble under pressure. And it will be better for Leverkusen. they are capable of winning, but we all know that they also have some injury problems going on. In the end, it could be going to be decided between Leverkusen and Liverpool.

About Roma I can just say that Mourinho has an incomplete job to do in the Europa League.    They were so close to winning the title last season but because of having problems with the referee also they lost their chance to Sevilla instead. At least Mourinho believes that as he was very angry at Anthony Taylor back then it the finale. 

But can they do this time? I have big doubts about that as long as Leverkusen and Liverpool teams are present. Roma will need to have Lukaku and Dybala both in their games from now on to increase their chance. Because I can clearly say that these are the most crucial players for the team this season. 

For sure, their major problem to face in this competition is definitely Liverpool and Bayern Leverkusen presence in the competition, and yes, Roma is not in their form to face any these two teams, except maybe some improvement would have been done in their performance before facing any of these team, But with the experience, that José Mourinho have got when it comes to any European competition, still can manage Roma through to final possibly.

In fact, during Mourinho coaching period at AS Roma, at least Mourinho failed to make AS Roma consistent for competition in Serie A. But yes, even though Mourinho did not succeed in making AS Roma the best in Serie A but ya, at least Mourinho succeeded in bringing AS Roma to get good results in the European stage . Therefore, I don't think we can consider AS Roma's performance in Serie A and also in Europe because yes, for me AS Roma still has a good chance in the Europa League this season. Even though it is true that Feyenoord is not a weak team at all, but at least AS Roma still has a good chance of beating Feyenoord later.

There may be such an imbalance in the odds due to the fact that bookmakers take into account that West Ham and Brighton are already in the 1/8 finals, and to get there, Roma needs to play a knockout match with Feyenoord. Feyenoord is not the easiest opponent, but still I see Roma as the favorite in this pair (most likely Mourinho will simply strangle this bright attacking team with his rational defensive game haha), let's see how the odds change after these qualifying games (how this whole multi-level system infuriates me).

With Liverpool and others in the Europa League, I think AS Roma's season will be difficult. Roma's success last season was respectable, but this year is unclear. They overcame Bayer Leverkusen in the semi-finals last time, but Leverkusen appears to be in stronger shape and strength this season. Roma may struggle due to this strength and consistency gap.

Their inconsistency worries me. They could reach the finals, but winning the title appears unlikely. Not only is their Europa League performance inconsistent, but so is their domestic record. They have Mourinho, a successful European coach, but his expertise may not be enough. How far they go this season will depend on their home and European play.

In my view, if Roma had adequate finances then they would achieve success because they worked with Mourinho. Only a few coaches can integrate a winning mentality into a team well, we know where Roma was in European competition before Mourinho landed in the capital team. The Mourinho factor is very important for Roma, unfortunately so far there has been no offer to extend his contract.

For Roma current performance which is experiencing a decline, I think they can show a different performance in the Europa League, adjusting to the scale of priorities and opportunities available. I believe Roma can beat Feyenoord in the play off round, and although I understand that the strength of the two clubs seems quite even. The existence of a player like Lukaku could be the difference, I hope Roma management can make his status permanent when the season ends.

Mourinho must be able to balance his team performance in Serie A, at least to be able to finish in the top four of the standings. In the European League itself, I'm sure Roma won't be eliminated too early. Their mentality is quite good after finishing as runners up last season, I think this gives high confidence to Mourinho fleet.

Roma's performance since the start of the season has been inconsistent, but if we look at the progress, there has been progress, even though it is small.
In the know out round anything is possible to happen and if we look at the quality of the two teams then there is not much difference but I believe Jose Mourinho's mentality on the European stage will be quite helpful for the Roma team to qualify.
I think Roma's percentage of qualifying is quite large and I am very confident they can qualify.

When you think Roma deserves to go through to the next round I would say no.
That doesn't mean I say Roma is bad, but it seems that beating Feyenoord is not an easy task, while Roma domestic league performance is not as good compared to Feyenoord, which is currently still very consistently competing in the Eredivisie.
But we don't know what will happen because we all know how Jose Mourinho has a lot of experience and whether the coach can bring his club through to next round and yes I admit that Roma sometimes very strong but this club lacks attacking players and will not be able to if you only rely on Lukaku and Dybala.
For Milan, I'm also not too sure if I can overcome this obstacle because the weak defense makes me doubtful and for Liverpool and Leverkusen there no need to doubt because these two clubs are still the strongest candidates in UEL.

It could be based on the result from the group stage, Brighton and westham on the up trend while roma is slowly going down again. That odds obviously make sense for me. it's also a bit strange to see that how roma has gotten that very big odds from bookies.
Liverpool and leverkusen may be the winner from the current season but roma is still having a last chance in europa league. Mourinho needs to think harder to push the performance from roma.

It sounds like that odds based on the current performance from the club. liverpool has been showing a very impressive start and leverkusen evolved to be as good as bayern munich which was playing ont he bundesliga and UCL. This is going to be a good test for mourinho.
I have heard that if roma would be sacked him many times but it seems mourinho is still opening possibility to stay in roma much longer.

It surprises me how acmilan is having that odds consider it was performing so poorly in serie a. It was always almost losing against mediocre team as well. Westham shall be placed above brighton but it will be still under acmillan.
