Roma has experience in competitions like this so they definitely know how to handle it, I can guess that Roma will play defensively in the first leg then in the second leg they will fight as hard as possible well, that's how Roma goes through every match. Also don't forget that Jose Mourinho is there he already understands what strategy to prepare. Honestly, I have no doubts about Roma in this round and Roma had many advantages.

With Roma unstable performance this season, I think they will find it difficult to beat Feyenoord in the first leg. Feyenoord will certainly make the best use of the first leg in search of victory and with the full support of the fans at the De Kuip stadium, they will be favored as winners in the first leg. Two Italian representatives will compete tooth and nail to advance to the round of 16 where Roma and AC Milan will grace the playoffs.

So, for AC Milan, it's the same, they have to face Rennes in the playoffs, even though this is a match that on paper, maybe AC ​​Milan is very favored to win over two legs, but still AC Milan performance this season is far from what we predicted. However, in terms of the quality of players, AC Milan has top players in the team such as Pulisic, Giroud and Leao, so Pioli must be able to take advantage of the advantages his team has to beat Rennes.

Referring to the Roma versus Napoli match, the victory of Jose Mourinho's squad did not escape two Napoli players who were given red cards. it would be outrageous if Roma couldn't beat Napoli with 10 players. currently Roma is playing their match at Juventus headquarters, the temporary victory for Juventus with a score of 1-0. plus, this fight will end soon. Roma's performance was not much better, especially since Jose Mourinho did not have his mainstay pattern for his team's squad. currently, Roma is ranked 7th in the Serie A standings.

Meanwhile, Feyenoord is performing quite well in its domestic league, ranking 2nd. even though they are quite far apart from PSV who are at the top of the Eredivisie standings. if we refer to player depth, of course Roma is slightly better than Feyenoord. but that doesn't mean Arne Slot's squad will let his team fall to Roma at De Kuip, Feyenoord's headquarters. at least this team from the Eredivisie league cannot be underestimated. moreover, they played as the home team in the first leg. if the scenario is that Roma will tend to play defensively in the next match, Arne Slot's squad will take advantage of this to get maximum points and even work hard to score lots of goals. and if we refer to what sports betting bookies offer from the match between these two teams, Feyenoord is superior to AS Roma. even though it is temporary, at least the home team has a chance to overthrow Roma in the first leg. well, if this match is held and the odds don't change. so I will speculate to choose the home team in this playoff round.

The match between Feyenoord and Roma will be like a rematch of the matches played last year. Last year, Feyenoord won the first match in the Netherlands, and in the rematch, Roma played magnificently and passed the round. It is certain that there will be a tough struggle again during this period. Let's see if the team that smiles this time will be Feyenoord or Rome again.

I don't think Roma will be having an issue with play off but then beyond play off they may have some hitches to tackle, their opponent for the play off isn't such that will really give the a tough time winning them so I don't even see play off as challenging for Roma, I trust Mourinho to be able to get his squad pass the playoffs.

Which Mourinhos experience so far in the Europa, I don't see the need for any form of fear but then my fears my lay within their domestic league where they are not quite impressive but seems to be gradually struggling to get to the top and securing a good spot at the top of the table. But then I seriously doubt if from the Europa or their domestic league if they will be able to win a trophy from either of these two leagues because the competition isn't such that looks like they can really cope with till the end of the season.

Injuries are one problem football team face and the way Don Carlo has managed to keep this Real Madrid team in shape despite the injury crisis is one part of coaching that needs to be studied lol. I don’t think any team will still be able to maintain stability if they’ve got the same injury crisis as Real Madrid. It happened to several teams like Chelsea, Man United and Barcelona but none where able to manage their squad like Ancelotti did.

 Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen is one wonder too that’s worth watching; the way he utilizes and managed these players and avoid injuries yes, that’s one thing that makes this team still solid. If they’ll play Liverpool in the final of the UEL, yea it’ll be a tough one based on current form but I think experience will come to play in that final. But we must commend Xabi and his Leverkusen team.

Brighton is one of the unexpected teams that has been able to achieve positive results in the European League this season, so far they have only lost 3-2 to AEK Athena, and to be honest it was quite surprising because from the start Alag Brighton were ahead but they were unlucky because Athena managed to score 3 beautiful goals.
Meanwhile, in the local EPL league, Brighton played quite well, they were able to win the match against Tottenham 4-2 even though Tottenham were the favorites to win, yes, the competition in the European league was really interesting, Brighton added to the list of one of the favorite teams to win this season, I wonder how far they can go.

It seems like you don't know De Zebri before now, he has won Real Madrid even in the Champions League, imagine a tactician like him and you see people rating him so low. He is the key to Brighton coming this far in the Europa League Competition. Too many people don't know about his success before the Premier League.

Their first season out here in the Europa League Competition and they came to the round of sixteen. They dominated clubs like Ajax, Athens and Marseille to go top of their group!!
Liverpool, Bayern Leverkusen and As Roma are my favorites to win this Competition. They have qualified squad.

They were very good in the group matches and although their opponents were not weak, they managed to take 1st place in the group. They won 4 of 6 matches and have only 1 loss.
But they cannot show the same performance in the Premier League. They play very well for a few weeks and then their form drops. When they start losing points, this continues and time passes until the team recovers.
That's why Brighton is a team that I wonder how their Europa League performance will continue

Need waiting the result playoff round match to know which one opponent team for Brighton Albion on 16 round, actually Brighton Albion manager's De Zerbi have great achievement on first appearance in Europe League and success made his team finish on top first standings position not have to face Champion League relegated teams in playoff round match.

Beside have Liverpool and Bayern Leverkusen are both favorite team become the winner in Europe League I think Brighton Albion can make us surprise their first appearance in Europe League will lead potential until quarter final or semifinal phase. Indeed not promising performance in Premier League, I think Brighton Albion get potential in Europe League will lead until more our expected phase.

EPL averge club is doing quite well in other tournaments, Brighton have made their fans to gather enough hope for a better future. No time for any side to relent other than channeling their top actions on the pitch. Brighton & Hove Albion are tough and they've become outstanding in their matches played in Europa League. Since the presence of Brighton coach, Roberto De Zerbi who took upon himself to become very prominent and tough, he's not holding back but rather incharge of the good points earned and stellar performance exhibited by the club.

The key is only that Jose Mourinho is able to manage his players well to remain strong before the next match at UEL and on the one hand I am sure Mourinho will try to find new players to be second players to help the match in Serie A to maintain the physicality of the main players so that after UEL starts Mourinho doesn't worried about the physicality of the main players.
I believe that Roma has been a popular club for a long time and in terms of readiness, they already have a lot of experience at UEL, of course this club will be ready to accept all strong challenges facing other strong clubs, but the problem is that I have to say this, the midfield and defense line must be paid attention to because they experience it too often. carelessness that results in conceding and I have seen this often in several previous matches.
I will not doubt that Roma and Mourinho will have quite good achievements in the UEL later but they also have to be ready to face strong clubs at the moment like Leverkusen who are in a very strong and unbeatable condition.

Feyenoord is not actually a challenge for Roma and Mourinho, not at least the biggest of them. If we look at the teams that are still alive in Europa League. Liverpool will be their biggest challenge this season. They are on the top of the Premier League right now, looking very good right now. But we cannot forget about other teams as well.

Leverkusen, West Ham, Villareal, AC Milan are also the favorites to win it. What Xabi Alonso and his team Leverkusen have achieved this season is totally unbelievable. They are still undefeated and are ahead of Bayern Munich which is a very very good achievement. They broke some of the Bundesliga records of Bundesliga this season as well. West Ham has always been a strong Premier League team. Teams from La Liga except Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are always underestimated in European competitions but they always prove others wrong. Villareal could be underestimated here as well. AC Milan are also doing not bad and could be one of the favorites.

It makes sense, Brighton has good bargaining power to reach the semi finals even though this is their first season playing in european competition. I think De Zerbi can bring his club a lot to say here, the competitive level of competition in the EPL has made them a team that is respected and taken into account. In my opinion, what they need to evaluate in the future is their mentality, they have to improve it if they want to go further in the Europa League.

But I still hesitate to include Brighton in the list of favorites to win, because we certainly agree that Liverpool and Laverkusen are more consistent and better than Brighton at the moment. Apart from that, we also need to wait for the play off stage to end first, and we will look again at who their opponents will be in the round of 16 to see and study Brighton's chances.

I don't think this see is an opportunity for Mourinho so there will be no need of thinking about wasting an opportunity because there isn't one here, they will be able to get pass feyenord in the playoff but I think that mey be how far they can go because beyond they point Is a more tough competition which I doubt they have what it take to face.

Liverpool is one of the biggest prospect for the Europa this season and there goes Leverkusen and AC Milan which has joined from the UCl and I'm sure AC Milan will definitely get pass the playoffs so the pressure beyond this current stage of the Europa seem more tough than Roma can handle especially judging from their performance recently in their domestic league so far. If Roma makes it to the semi finals it's a commendable height because I don't expect them to get to the finals this season as last season was less tough than this season.

I am not sure if Lukaku is making that big of a difference here. They have reached the final last year without him. I agree they are a bit stronger with him, but not really equally strong as Leverkusen or Liverpool. Those are the two clubs that deserve to be called this season's favorites in the Europa League. For Leverkusen it will be important to keep their team together and not lose anyone due to injuries, but the same counts for Liverpool.

I had a feeling that we might see Brighton in the semifinals, this is their first debuts in the Europa League and they become the 1st in the group B.
The players knew that what they do now will be written in the club history as the highest Brighton achievement ever in the EU competition level.

I think Leverkusen has the best chance of winning the Europa League. The performance of this team is outstanding. The team has not lost any match in this season. On the other hand, strong teams like Liverpool are also playing in this year's Europe League. So it is much more difficult for Roma to become Europa League champions.

The performance of the Roma team is somewhat erratic. But I would say their squad is stronger this season than last season. Lukaku has been added to the squad. And he has been performing well in a Roma jersey. Lukaku can score a lot of goals. Roma have the potential to do well in the Europa League if Lukaku and Dybala are in good form.

They are in the play offs now and they will face Feyenoord to fight for 1 ticket to go to the last 16 of the Europa League. Last season they had to fail to become champions because in the final match they had to recognize the superiority of Sevilla. This season they have the opportunity to repeat the same thing, only this season may be much more difficult than before, because this season some of the favorites seem stronger than the previous season.
Last season favorites like Arsenal had to fail, but this season clubs like Liverpool and Leverkusen seem to look much better prepared, even so it is not impossible that AS Roma can surprisingly return and compete in the final.
This season some people consider a meeting between Liverpool and Leverkusen in the final to be the ideal meeting, but that cannot be confirmed because surprises will always happen.

Yes, I believe Mourinho could defeat Feyenoord this season again even though his team looks pretty shaky but he’s a specialist in European competition and could help this team go to another final, like he did in the previous one, if the board could back him to get more players and strengthen their depth then winning against Feyenoord would be a little easier. Well I trust Jose Mourinho to lead his team to victory and probably another finals.

 Yes, the first leg will be one crazy one but I’ll still give it to Roma to be able to contain Feyenoord in the first leg and trash them out of the competition when they visit Italy. Roma got to the competition through same fate last season but this season we’ve got more fierce teams in the competition but I still believe Mourinho and Roma team could make his mark and get back on their foots.
