Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool are considered to be the favorites this season and it's a testament to why they are the favorites this season but they have been going so far. These two teams are performing well everywhere in their respective leagues or European leagues and are consistent in their performances. They have been performing very well against all teams, big or small, which is why Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen have the best chances of winning the Europa League title in this tournament. Liverpool may not be thinking too much about the Europa League because the teams that will be their opponents are not doing better than Liverpool. Liverpool's main focus may be on the English Premier League.

AS Roma without doubt have few quality and world class players that can help the team win any club football competition in the  world if they truly give their best but when you compare the quality and standard of players at other teams in the UEFA Europa League competition, you'll find out that AS Roma aren't the best or will they be the favorites to win the competition.

In the UEFA Europa League competition this season we have strong teams like Liverpool, Bayer Leverkusen and AC Milan and if you ask me, these teams possess more quality players than AS Roma. The reason why Roma are regarded as one of the favorites to win the UEFA Europa League competition this season is because they're managed by an experienced manager in the person of Jose Mourinho and hopefully, he's gonna help them achieve their goals this season

At the moment these two clubs are really in very strong condition, they almost look perfect in every match, they can always be consistent and I see that Xabi alonso and Klopp currently really want to win the UEL title and these two clubs are aware of each other that there is strong club that we have to face it and hope to meet in final round, even though there are several strong club from the Champions League, but I'm sure these two club will be able to maintain their performance to keep trying to get to the final round.
For me, Leverkusen seems to have been guaranteed to be able to work hard to reach the final, but Liverpool, I'm not sure, will remain strong and try hard to maintain it consistency, but everyone hopes Liverpool can achieve success in UEL.
But I'm not too sure about Liverpool even though their performance very strong and if they compete in final against Leverkusen, Leverkusen will definitely be able to beat Liverpool until I bet with my friend whether Liverpool or Leverkusen will lift the UEL trophy and I hold Leverkusen because I am very confident about my prediction.

I concur regarding Liverpool and Leverkusen's Europa League dominance this season. Top their groups - crush it. Liverpool has been a force. They're performing well in the Premier League without their main striker. This demonstrates their team's versatility. I believe they'll dominate the Europa League.

However, I doubt Leverkusen can end Bayern Munich's Bundesliga domination. Bayern is difficult to beat, but they're doing well. Im not betting on Leverkusen just yet, but their domestic league performance is good. Liverpool's Premier League and Europa League form is more likely to continue.

You're right, because I also only looked two clubs which look like they will survive until the final round and they also look strong in their respective domestic leagues so in the European league they will also do the same showing their best performance, seeing them come out as group winners is proof that their performance is quite strong playing in the European league, especially Leverkusen who managed to win all in the group matches. And I want to see these two clubs reach the final and prove who is most worthy of winning the European league trophy.

Yes, it's true that Liverpool and Leverkusen are both trying to break the clubs that always dominate their respective domestic league titles, such as Bayern Munich and Manchester City. However, both clubs still have to fight hard so as not to slump and remain in first place because their respective strikers such as Victor Boniface (Leverkusen) Moh Salah (Liverpool) will be absent for some time.

I do believe that it is going to be pretty tough, and I agree that it is going to have some trouble with time as well, I do not think that it is going to be all that easy, we are going to face some trouble. This is why I believe that we are going to end up with something like Liverpool title, it is just in their destiny.

This of course depends on how the league is going as well, if they are still at the top when europa finals approaching, that means they will do their best to focus on premier league, and rest their best players on europa which could make them lose, same with Leverkusen as well. Bayern and City are huge clubs, trying to win their leagues, so Leverkusen and Liverpool will have to put their all on their leagues as well.

It's not necessary to have a lot of star players to make that happen, but an even squad will help. What I see now from the AS Roma squad, they don't have an even squad, they still have a lot of shortcomings and that makes it difficult for Jose to bring AS Roma to show the best.
He does have some good players, like Dybala for example, but still he also needs the full support of his teammates in bremain. I think AS Roma must be more courageous to make big changes in the squad so that they can speak more in all competitions, especially in the domestic league and in the European arena. They are unlikely to compete with a makeshift squad, because other teams are better prepared than them.

great coaches have big names also need a good squad of players so they can get the title. while in AS roma, he has never got the Scudeto, aka the Italian league serie A champion. that means that the quality of a good coach with a big name still needs a qualified squad. maybe AS roma is one of the candidates to win the Europa League this season. but the strongest candidate is of course Liverpool.

Betting Roma to become champion is like a wild guess because they're not strong. The last season they can finish in second position because they're lucky enough, they're on easy bracket. While the other side, it's full of top clubs who're favorite for many people.

Betting Leverkusen to become a champion makes more sense, the odds is worth to bet.

I don't think Roma is able to provide competition because its current performance is still very unstable, Milan could be a dark horse team in this competition, they are more worthy of being in the competition for trophies than Roma. All teams still have the same opportunity as long as they have not been eliminated from this competition, but among all the teams there is the best team that is the seed. Liverpool and Leverkusen have above average performance compared to other teams, I think one of these two teams will succeed in winning the Europa League trophy this season.

With odds @ 17.00 it is indeed very tempting, but the question is with their current condition which doesn't look any better than last season, will the opportunity remain wide open for Roma?
Facing Feyenoord in the round of 16 might be Roma's chance to get to the quarter-finals, but in the quarter-finals, their chances will be even tougher because the team they will face will be stronger.
Roma is lucky to have Jose Mourinho as their coach because he has quite good experience in European competitions, and also his statistics in Europe are quite good, but if you look at their squad and how their performances are often unstable, I think their progress will only reach the semifinals.

Both teams are currently at the top of the domestic league standings, but both teams are under pressure from their respective rivals, Leverkusen is threatened by Bayern Munich and Liverpool is threatened by Man City. so Liverpool and Leverkusen must concentrate fully in the domestic league so as not to lose points.

I think this will affect their performance in the Europa League, especially as they will face their opponents in the knockout round, of course they have to divide their concentration so as not to make fatal mistakes. So what I mean is that even though these two teams are performing well in the domestic league, they may not necessarily be successful in advancing to the final round of the Europa League because I believe their main target is to win the domestic league. Not to mention that increasingly fierce competition will certainly drain their stamina which will have an impact on players' fitness. Therefore, I will add two teams that are challenging for the European title this season, namely AC Milan and Galatasaray.

They were also the strongest candidate to win the competitions soon. They are performing so perfect and im not even doubting it. People are also putting liverpool as the most favorite club and no doubt that caused by liverpool is very strong and stable right now.
Even manchester city was not as stable as liverpool on english premier league too. This proves that liverpool has been making improvements since last season and this is what im talking about. No doubt that if liverpool was performing perfectly.
I would like to see liverpool to be qualified through winning europa league. this will be very good to happen soon.


I hope so but don't underestimate other club as well. You have so many great clubs to play very soon and what about putting acmilan and roma into the top clubs to win the competition as well? This is very good to see that.
Liverpool needs to try so hard in maintaining the performance from its club. Roma may be also coming to be one of strongest contender to win the competition too.

This season it's very clear both teams (Liverpool and Leverkusen) are dominating the Europa this season, they have both performed really well in the Europa topping their groups and finishing at the top of their group during the group stage games and now their knock out fixtures isn't looking like that which will trouble them.

They may both end up in the finals together, asides the Europa they are both doing so well I'm their various domestic leagues especially that of Leverkusen trying to set a record where they want to bring to an end the dominance of the Bayern Munich who has dominated the bundesliga in a long time. Liverpool keeps maintaining a very good stand at the top of the table in the premier league and also looking very likely to win the premier league, even in the absence of their main striker they are still doing great most definitely they will perform no less in their Europa next fixture

Now as we are entering into knock out rounds of the UEFA Europa Cup we will have some surprises and shocking results which are the most important part of these events currently mostly peoples are thinking we will have Liverpool or Bayer Leverkusen but mostly are missing in last season we have good competition from Italian sides and this season we can expect again specially from Inter Milan and AC Milan both are very competitive and good teams which are capable of giving their best and having good success as well.

Even AC Milan and Roma are not good but still they are having fair chance for the reaching into next rounds and create problems for the hot favorite teams which are currently having edge against all opponents due to their quality and performance in all leagues.

There are difference coaches, those are good enough to enchance a club but they don't hit the necessary points and targets while we have the serious ones that are going all in for the league title and other tournament title. José Mourinho is experience but it's time for Xabi Alonso to outshines most of his opponents this season, his team is still unbeaten in the Bundesliga title race. A complex mission but the best results is only surrounding Bayer Leverkusen with priorities of winning every game on their mind. José Mourinho is key coach for AS Roma and they don't joke with their coach. He play a vital role in boosting the performance of the club to good levels in football.

To be honest, I don't really follow the development of the teams competing in Serie A. so, I don't really know any developments. but that doesn't mean I can't find out the statistics of the teams competing in Serie A, including AS Roma. what is certain is that AS Roma is experiencing unstable performance even though AS Roma actually has a pretty good front line, and Mourinho should be able to maximize it. I don't know why Serie A teams prefer the 3-5-2 pattern, even though there are still many ideal systems. the 3-5-2 pattern is actually effective, but it must be filled by competent players in each position. at least Inter always uses this pattern, but Simone Inzaghi is smart in placing his players and implementing his strategy. at a minimum, he knows when to rotate players depending on the opposing team. well, Jose Mourinho should have been smarter because in fact Mourinho has long experience and has brought several clubs he has managed to success to become champions under his tutelage. however, what we are seeing now is not that special in Mourinho's hands.

Talking about the playoff match between Feyenoord versus AS Roma, to be honest I quite doubt AS Roma. moreover, the first leg match was held at home to Feyenoord. referring to the betting market for a while, the home team is favored by bookies. so, the question is whether Mourinho will remain loyal to his defensive system in his away matches, especially the match against Feyenoord. if so, it could be that the home team will take advantage to win the match and maximize every opportunity to score a goal. however, this match actually still has quite a long time lag. there is still time for AS Roma to improve its performance.

Roma are a good side. Their manager Mourinho has some kind of special 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 Atalanta didn't fully get good commendation but still they tried to secure the points to themselves.

 The European competition would definitely favour them, they only need to strive to win a ticket. Good thing also that their striker is at his peak performance and he's always capable of delivering the team to victory in dire moments. I'd admit that the team and manager are very much compatible maybe it's the resonance that's natural or maybe Mourinho's great coaching ability at work but at the moment, the situation in the team is in safe hands and patiently and gently, they'd stride to the spots they want to be.

Well, let's look forward to what round AS Roma will qualify because yes, at least great expectations also occurred when Lukaku joined the AS Roma squad . Therefore, it does not seem wrong if there is still hope for AS Roma because basically AS Roma also has a great coach and also has a squad that is not bad at all. Although AS Roma still failed to compete in the top zone in the Serie A standings but ya, at least Mourinho still got the success of bringing AS Roma to get good results in European competition . Because indeed,anything can still happen because of course all the teams playing in this knockout phase will maximize the chance they have to qualify and advance further.

These are the current odds for the probable Europa League title winner. 

Liverpool are the absolute favourite of course just as most people think the same. But bookmakers also expect Leverkusen to create a big competition for the title. It is no surprise because you must also have big expectations from them. Xabi Alonso is one of the most attention getting coaches this season. If Real Madrid didn't extend with Ancelotti I'm confident that their choice would have been Xabi Alonso.

I might give Roma a chance and bet on them @17.00. It is pretty tempting you know considering they are one of the finalists of the previous season.
