I still understand why people are discussing chances of teams and in the case of Galatasaray, I would not say that they have a chance to win the Europa League because they are coming from the Champions League. I rather think that they have played some amazing games in the Champions League and their only issue was efficiency. If they can get that under control and perform well like they do in the domestic league, I think Galatasaray belongs to the handful of clubs that can win the Europa League title.
We are talking about speculating the team that will be winning the game soon and this is still a part of gambling caused by this is also affecting your decision making. In fact, gambling is very close to the predicting the result or output from the game itself. There's nothing wrong with it.
I would to call that if any team have chances to win the competition but the only thing that makes it different will be how big the chance owned by the club to win the game. You do put galatasaray as your favorite club and it's not a problem at all but i just remind you that you forgot to put some clubs

like roma, leverkusen and liverpool to be the strongest candidates to win the competition. They much more stronger compared to the galatasaray. it sounds good to see that how people iis being very optimistic with his favorite club.
Yet i took other clubs like roma, liverpool or leverkusen to be the strongest candidate to win the competition right now. It's caused by they have better experience compared to the galatarsaray. The quality of players were also affecting it too.
Im only saying it based on the fact.

This is once again a response to a post that I didn't write. I never said that Galatasaray is my favorite to win the Europa League. Instead I said that the reasoning some here presented as to why or why not there is a chance for Galatasaray to win is incomprehensible. My point is that Galatasaray has played some great games in the Champions League and many of those performances were very promising. Since they barely missed to advance to the next round in the Champions League, I think they are now still in good condition and good enough to beat teams like Roma, Leverkusen or Liverpool. Yet they are not my top favorite. But they are one of them if they can continue with their high level performances.

Feyenoord and Roma are going to come face to face once again after having matchups against each other a couple of times before. Roma were the dominant side of all those matchups also. Roma eliminated them in the Conference League and Europa League both as you can remember. Now they will try to do the same again.

Feyenoord are one of the decent teams in the Eredivisie. But when it comes to playing in European competitions I can't say they are very successful in the recent years.

Roma are in a much better state than them in terms of success in such competitions. They won the Conference League not long ago. They qualified for the Europa League finale last season. I believe in them once again to eliminate Feyenoord with their experience.

Roma is definitely the better side here. Mourinho is very experienced when it comes to European competition as he has already won it many times. But Feyenoord also had to defeat some good teams to come here so I don’t think they should be underestimated. Roma are looking very good right now, they just beat Napoli in their recent match.

The match between Feyenoord and Roma is almost 2 months away and the result can depend on their form. So I don’t think now is the time to predict who is going to win the match between them. But if I had to pick someone between them, I would pick Mourinho’s Roma.

Lukaku is one of the most important players for Roma. So the match's result depends on him staying fit.
Even though they are indeed seen as one of the clubs that are quite good but looking at the standings that Roma have, they actually still have a little problem according to me because they are the favorite club in the group phase but they ultimately have to go through a complicated play off phase to qualify for the round of 16 phase.

Facing Feyenoord is actually not something new because this is not the first time they have faced each other but indeed in this case everything is still very possible because after all by looking at the current situation as you said, the match is still quite long.

In addition, Roma's stability currently only relies on Lukaku alone and I think this can be something good or can be the opposite because when Lukaku has problems then this can indirectly affect Roma's performance also in terms of goal productivity so this can affect more than we think. Still h2h Roma are ahead although this cannot be a benchmark.

It can be understood that Roma is the favorite because they have a more competitive league than Feyenoord. The Mourinho and Lukaku factor could also be a good bargaining chip for Roma, but it is not impossible that Roma will be eliminated in the play off round, we have to leave room for surprises open. On the other hand, Mourinho contract will end at the end of the season, as well as Lukaku loan period from Chelsea, this is the momentum to leave a beautiful impression before parting ways at the end of the season.

I think the match between Roma and Feyenoord is an even match, despite the assumptions above. However, head to head, Roma is still ahead with 3 wins, 1 loss and one draw in 5 meetings. Apart from that, it is true that we need to wait a moment and look again at the strength of the two clubs ahead of their meeting in February.
It's not a big surprise if that happens because Feyenoord also has pretty good strength, it's just that Jose Mourinho's experience and Roma's strength has improved since the start of the season, making them slightly favorites, but personally I still say that the percentage for these two teams to qualify is still 50. -50.

And I see that this season Jose Mourinho's ambition to bring Roma to win the Europa League is quite big after their failure in last season's final and as we all know, Jose Mourinho has quite a lot of experience on the European stage and this is worth taking into account.

Yes, this match will be held in February and almost 2 months away, surely Feyenoord should not be underestimated. Even though on paper Roma is ahead, but maybe Feyenoord performance will improve, considering that there is still a lot of time for them. But indeed, with Mourinho experience, I think Mourinho team can beat Feyenoord. Moreover, so far Feyenoord not very impressive in big Europa competitions. So, I also think the possibility is high for Roma to qualify for the next round.
About Lukaku, I think without Lukaku Roma will still be able to win if Feyenoord performance does not improve. But it's better if he is available and not injured, because you are right Lukaku is an important key player for Roma squad this season.
Feyenoord without doubt, have been impressive since the start of the season especially in their local league and would possesses major threat against Roma when they face each other in the  playoff in their two legged game.
However, we must understand that Roma is managed by a very experienced European tactician in the person of Jose Mourinho. Mourinho as we all know is one manager that doesn't joke with any European trophy and would definitely introduce his best tactical method to make sure his team progresses to the quarter finals of the competition.

Why do you think so? Because if they can defend or draw it will be easier to win at home? I remember the Bayern vs Liverpool match. Liverpool draw at home and win the away game. I believe it can be a double-edged sword in the end, since there are many factors from player's motivation to supporter's support that can affect how they play.

[1] https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/84/Show/Italy-Roma

I agree that it is not set in stone that playing home in the second game is an advantage. It could also be subjective perception, but I sometimes think that playing the second game at home could psychologically be advantageous. However, if a team plays first at home and wins that game, it could be an advantage as well when the team can then play patiently, waiting for counter attacks away from home and knowing that a draw would be enough isn't bad either.

Zidane should become Real Madrid's manager, he's an overrated manager since he brought Real Madrid win Champions League three times in a row. Now Real Madrid weren't in their prime, we need to know how the result when Zidane become a manager again. Roll Eyes
Xabi might be leave Leverkusen because he will have an opportunity to train a better team and receive higher salary.

I once read the news which said that Zidane left Real Madrid not because he was fired but because he felt he was not supported by the club board. Zidane wants to build a medium and long term squad but the club board may not allow Zidane to spend a lot of money so he feels like the club board does not value him. In fact, if Madrid were still coached by Zidane, it is likely that they would be able to become champions league finalists for some time to come.

Yes Zidane didn't leave Real Madrid because he was fired but he became uncomfortable with the club because he wasn't given the support that he wanted when the club was having some difficulties even after winning both the league and the champions League for the team but he's good works were beginning to fade away so he made use of the available opportunity to resign as the club manager instead of being fired by the club since he wasn't getting the support from the management anymore. I also think Ancelotti has also helped the team to win some trophies but he's also going to help the team become champions League finalist or possibly winning the champions League soon.

How did Real Madrid not support Zidane? He didn't win the La Liga that same season, rather he lost the league and pressure mounted on him to be sacked, they even have him the support by not sacking him. With the help of the players around, he was able to win the Champions League.
Believe me Zidane quickly resigned immediately after they won the Champions League so he wouldn't be sacked.

Champions League winners at the end of the season? That I can't conclude on, but winning the La Liga, looks like a sure banker.

Yep. AS Roma has a better experience in European competition. They also have the coach (Mourinho) who already won varied titles in any European competition. No doubt if AS Roma should be superior against Feyenoord if we consider the track record of the team and the coach. However, it doesn't guarantee anything, it probably increases the chance to win.

It is true that AS Roma current performance looks better, it seems they are ready to fight with Feyenoord with their best. But we can't deny that Feyenoord is also experiencing a good season. They are in the second place of Eredivisie league, it proves that Feyenoord has something to challenge AS Roma. So, AS Roma must be careful although they have Lukaku. Feyenoord also have many young players with great skills.

In fact, if Madrid were still coached by Zidane, it is likely that they would be able to become champions league finalists for some time to come.
The thing is, Zidane didn't manage any other team neither, he just managed 3 seasons, won the UCL in all three and just... retired from managing? For the time being at least, he hasn't managed anyone else.

I think that should matter a lot because we are talking about something huge here, if he comes back to manage any other team, then we would definitely see him doing well, but if he goes back to manage Real again after Ancelotti leaves, then things will definitely be very wild there.

This dude can only do worse, he can't really do better, he already won UCL three times in a row, a feat nobody has done in over fifty years or so, how could he do better? He could do worse though, a lot worse, it is not impossible for real to lose the league, they didn't last season, and they could lose ucl too, didn't last season, if he does like that, which is quite possible, then it would not really be that weird and he would be doing much worse suddenly, who would want pressure like that?

If we talk about the possibilities, yes, that possibility could have been true, but they won the cup with Ancelotti. So they were able to win the UCL without Zidane. Anyway, the topic is UEL and let's talk about it. Matches will be tight. Some of the teams from UCL will pass the tour easily because there is a clear difference between the teams.

Yeah Lens has made a quite impressive performance in most of there matches this season but they seem to be inconsistent on there winings but however just like you mentioned there performance on there match against Arsenal was actually very commendable because with the impressive performance of Arsenal I never would have believe that Lens could beat Arsenal 2-1 this season but it was very unfortunate for Lens that they had already lose form before they meet Arsenal again that was why Arsenal was able to beat them up to 6-0, although with the performance of Arsenal on that match it was quite obvious that they came with a challenge after Lens win against them.
Yes lens has made what looks like a quiet impressive performance this season but then consistency is what they may need to add to their performance, inasmuch as we have some level of certainty to the fact that they are not going to win the league title they could try to make nit to top five or four if possible

With the second win arsenal had against lens it's obvious they were only lucky when they won arsenal, they only won probably because arsenal had a bad day so in a subsequent meeting arsenal prove they were better but if lens were able to had won Arsenal twice then I can say for sure they were that good and will be a team to see as a formidable force this season but then it's obvious they were just lucky and that's why I personally still see them as an average team and have little to almost no chances at the league title.

In fact, if Madrid were still coached by Zidane, it is likely that they would be able to become champions league finalists for some time to come.

It seems interesting, because so far there may only be information circulating that Zidane just wants to take a break and has no problems with the board . After all, if for example Zidane had problems with the board, then at least it would be easy for Zidane to coach other clubs besides Real Madrid. Because ya, so far at least there has been a statement that Zidane only wants to coach Real Madrid and not other teams and with that statement. So yes, at least it proves a little that Zidane doesn't have any problems with Real Madrid.

But regarding who is the right replacement head coach for Real Madrid next season, of course Xabi Alonso is the main candidate who will replace Ancelotti. After all, this season Xabi also has a big chance of bringing Bayer Leverkusen to the Europa League final . Therefore, it is not surprising if Xabi is the main candidate because this season Xabi has been very successful in providing good results for Bayer Leverkusen.

Lens are continuing on their way with the Europa League from now on. They were really impressive in their Champions League group at first. They even beat Arsenal home you know. I started to think about whether they can make it to last 16 as well. But they couldn't do well in the games later on. They at least beat Sevilla the last time to come here.

Freiburg is their opponent now. Freiburg can be a quite tough matchup for them as they are one of the decent teams of the Bundesliga. But they aren't a team that Lens can't eliminate of course. Lens have made a lot of progress in the Ligue 1 recently. If they keep up this performance in the Europa League too then they can get past Freiburg obstacle.

Both teams is come from different competitions that Lens is from champion league and just like i said before this is Lens debut participant on that competition but i think their performance during group stages is quite good because they can gets 2 wins and 2 draw from 6 matches but unfortunately Lens have to satisfied to finish at 3rd place because they have 1 difference point below to PSV and about Freiburg their performance actually quite impresive but unfortunately at group stages Freiburg have to lose twice from West Ham and they only being an the runner up and Freiburg have to through an play off matches before they can advances to the next round

Actually a bit hard to predict who is the winner of this match because there was no meetings statistics from them because if i am not mistaken this is their first met at European competitions and at their domestic league too their performance is not so different but for the first leg Lens will playing as a host and considering their good records while playing at home and they even still unbeatable since group stages probably Lens will being an the winner of that match
It's actually quite easy to predict Lens match against Freiburg, you don't need statistics, but just look at their performance in the Champions League and European League and compare the group points table results.
Lens from 6 matches can score 6 scores and concede 11 scores, while Freiburg can score 17 scores and only concede 7 scores.
From these results we can consider that Lens has fairly weak attack and defense line compared to Freiburg which has a very strong attack and defense line and I am still confident that Freiburg will qualify for the next round.
We cannot compare performance in the domestic league because this is in other competitions which are very different and we are better off analyzing performance in other competitions such as the Champions League and European League which is fairer for me.

It's actually a good match, I think both opponents are equal. We can watch a good game. I would like to see whoever is better win, but football is not always a game where the better player wins.
Len's has done well but they won some games by luck which they can still meet all those teams again in their remaining games and, they will be disgrace because some of those teams has show some improvement in the champion league and premier league which they will still show some improvement in this round 16 in the UEFA Europa league. I know game can change at anytime which we have see such game with Manchester united and Everton who was leading the game with 2:0  yesterday in the first half but Manchester united change the game in the second half to equalized the goals, but I don't think Len's will allow such thing to occur in this game.

This UEFA Europa league will going to be a surprise tournament because many weak team last season are showing some good performance in this season but anything can still happen that will make some coach to cry for their failure.
