Last season, Sevilla performed very well in the Europa League and they managed to win the championship trophy, but thanks to this victory, Sevilla this season was not able to perform so well.
Many people regret what happened to Sevilla this season and many people are disappointed with Sevilla performance this season which has decreased quite significantly.
And of course they have the opportunity to become one of the teams that will be relegated if there is no development or improvement in performance to become better in the future.
And if Sevilla is relegated then they really have to start from the bottom, they have to be able to rise from the lower competitions to be able to return to La Liga and compete in big competitions.

Now there is still quite lot of time for the remaining teams and they can play in the last 16 or play-offs.
The match will start after the transfer window closes, precisely in mid-February, this is very possible to provide agreed time for all teams to be able to improve the quality of their respective performances.
We will see new name for this season Europa League champions.

I still think that this game is a 50:50 thing between AS Roma and Feyenoord. Feyenoord is playing solid so far, but it is not something that is shockingly impressive. Roma should not be underestimated, especially not when Feyenoord plays away from home. It should be considered that AS Roma plays in a league that is more difficult than the Eredivisie.

Roma first leg in the play off round looks like it will be quite a difficult match for Roma because they have to compete away and this match will be held in the Netherlands. I don't feel confident yet whether Jose Mouronho will be able to make Roma appear impressive there, because Roma doesn't seem to be very consistent in the league domestically and when he visited Bologna headquarters he lost and was unable to create opportunities.
Jose Mourinho is a coach who has experience in dealing with big clubs but he cannot be said to have completely succeeded in overcoming the club he is currently managing, even though previously Roma was able to be in the top 4, but because of the defeated with Bologna and the draw with Fiorentina he is now in 8th position. It's easy to shift if a club is unable to balance its performance even though it is still in the domestic league. How does Roma face it when it face a club that has been relegation from the Champions League. Feyenoord is not a careless club, they can beat Lazio away from home, so I thinks maybe Feyenoord will make things difficulty for Roma in the first leg.

AS Roma looks difficult against  Feyenoord in Europe League playoff round, can't finish on the top position standings made AS Roma have to play on playoff round against relegated teams from Champion League. Last season, AS Roma can manage to final stage although not get label as favorite team but I don't sure with Jose Mourinho capacity will repeat success achievement last season or Feyenoord will be team for eliminating AS Roma on playoff round. AS Roma performance in domestic league not really impressive yet, last match defeated by Bologna and make their points have many difference with the top fourth standings team.

In Europe League matches, Romelu Lukaku have most impressive performance scored 5 goals of 6 matches and created one assist, if not injury when playoff round match against Feyenoord seems he has chance add his goals collection in Europe League.

@dzungmobile I too believe that Roma will move on to the next round because of Mourinho’s experience and Lukaku goal scoring ability. Furthermore there’s talk that Mourinho wants a longer contract and if that happens then the player’s will be further motivated to perform well and secure their place in the playing 11 hence I feel that wagering on Roma makes sense.

I would say it is a difficult play-off for both teams and they understand each other very well after three matches in the last two seasons. In the past season Roma met Feyenoord in Europa League quarter finals and the first match was held at Feyenoord stadium too. It's a draw and the coming match in play-off round will be another tough one for Roma in Netherlands. Roma will try to get a draw and get back to their home stadium to find a winning and finalize this play-off pair.

Lukaku will miss two other matches for Roma in Serie A but he will be ready for play-offs with Feyenoord in Europa League. He has scored 5 goals for Roma in the last six matches there and he will be one of biggest hope of Roma in their front line to beat Feyenoord.

Feyenoord, who were relegated from the Champions League group stage, will definitely make things difficult for AS Roma. And because the first leg of the match will be held at Feyenoord Stadium, this could give the host club an advantage. But I believe the troops coached by Mourinho will definitely not lose in this match. I predict a draw in this match. Because so far AS Roma has developed for the better. Although I am disappointed with the results of AS Roma's last match this week, namely that they lost to Bologna in Serie A. But I believe that next year, when the round of 16 of the Europa League starts, AS Roma's performance will definitely improve again. Lukaku is still very productive at the moment. Maybe the first leg will result in a draw. But in the second leg I am sure AS Roma will win as hosts.

Why are you talking about the Champions League in the European League which has absolutely nothing to do with teams that have already qualified for the last 16 like Lazio and Bayern Munich? And another thing is that you are wrong in thinking that Lazio will not qualify for the last 16, even though Lazio will face Bayern Munich in the Champions League in the last 16. Not in other rounds, so I think you need to open your eyes to see their schedule more clearly.

That's just a glimpse of what has happened so far at Bayern Munich, but if you look at the matches in the Europa League this season, Bayer Leverkusen will also do more things that can impress their own supporters. Because so far Leverkusen still has the ability and excellent performance to take themselves to a better place in the European League this season. Even though the barrier is quite serious, it is still quite strong here, like Liverpool and several other teams.

It will be an easy win on paper, but I don't think Milan will play UEL with the same attitude after a disappointing UCL campaign. AC Milan is perceived as having a higher overall quality and experience compared to Rennes. The presence of more tactical and experienced players in AC Milan's squad is seen as a decisive factor, but mentality is not always like what we want to see. AC Milan's extensive history in European competitions is considered an asset, but history also says Milan almost never succeeded in Europa League.

The experience gained from competing at a higher level in the Champions League is seen as a factor that could give them an edge in the Europa League, but That's also something that can deceive the attitude of Milan's squad. AC Milan's entry into the Europa League is an opportunity for them to achieve a most posible trophy this season. The idea is that AC Milan's presence in the Europa League could be a means of showcasing their strength and competing at a high level, despite not progressing as far as desired in the Champions League.

I think both Roma and Feyenoord are quite equal because they have good squad. TBH, I can't choose which one is the favorite team to win the match. I think both of them have the same chance to win the match. However, if we analyzed the current performance of these teams, I prefer to choose Feyenoord as the favorite team to win. They have done great works in domestic league (Eredivisie), they are now in the second place of the table.

Sorry, I don't think Mourinho still has something special. I think he even decreases his good history in football lately. He often leads Roma to get a lose in some easy matches.

Yes, they are in 2nd place. Feyenoord performed well in the Eredivisie.
If we look at the performance of Feyenoord, it is better than Roma performance in Serie A. So, according to the performance in the domestic competition, I think Roma is in a trouble, they are not the favorite to win the match.

AC Milan match against Rennes will really be an easy win for AC Milan do doubt because in all ramifications, AC Milan are way better than Rennes and they've got more tactical and experienced players than them so absolutely AC Milan will win. AC Milan have had more European competition knowledge than Rennes if not that they didn't Perform too well in the Champions league they would have gone far in the Champions league but notwithstanding, AC Milan coming to the Europa is a way to suppress some of the clubs that have already been in the Europa league.

Roma are favorites in the match against Feyenoord. The first leg was played at Feyenoord's home ground, which means Roma can maximize their home match in the second leg. Roma only needs to draw in the first leg and ensure victory in the second leg. Mourinho will think about a scenario like this, and as one of the smart coaches, Mourinho is more likely to be able to qualify for the next round of the Europa League.

So far Feyenoord is runner up in the Eredivisie by collecting 38 points in 16 matches. Meanwhile, Roma, who have also played 16 matches, only collected 25 points from 7 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses. Performance-wise, both teams have performed differently in their respective domestic leagues, but personally I tend to give Roma and Mourinho more confidence.

Milan should easily overthrow Rennes, especially since Milan was the home team in the first leg. even though Rennes was able to finish in 2nd place in Group F, and put up resistance when they hosted Villarreal, it was not a problem for AC Milan to overthrow them. so, on paper, Milan should be able to win both home and away games when fighting against one of the teams from the French League. however, if we refer to the options given by the bookie, Milan is currently far superior. It's natural, the two teams have a significant gap. plus, the first meeting will be held at the San Siro. well, if only Rennes were able to qualify for the next phase. that means Stefano Pioli needs to be questioned about his coaching status.

Talking about the Feyenoord vs Roma match, these two teams met last season in the Quarterfinals. both teams won their home matches. the difference is, Roma won big when they hosted Feyenoord at that time with a score of 4-1. now the two teams meet again, but the difference is that this match is a playoff match. but however, this does not reduce the crucial value of the importance of victory for these two squads. it's just that, as we all know. if Mourinho and his squad play an away match, then don't be surprised if Mourinho's defensive pattern will be implemented. well, there are no other words, other than let's just wait when the teams we mentioned meet in the Europa League playoff round. Interesting or not, we will soon find out when the playoffs are held.

Feyenoord v Roma is a really good matchup. I expect both matches to be lovely to watch. Roma beat them twice when they played against Feyenoord in the ECL finale and EL quarter finals. But they weren't comfortable ones as Feyenoord resisted well against them. Here in this stage I expect the same determination from Feyenoord. In the end Feyenoord qualified for the ECL finale before. I expect them to be competitive in the EL as well. They couldn't do better in the Champions League because their group was a really tough one. 

When it comes to Roma they must give their best for this matchup to move on. Joining the Champions League this season is really important for Mourinho one way or another.

In fact, although Rennes managed to become the runner up of group F but ya, the teams in that group also not entirely good. After all, Villarreal who managed to become the winner of group f also, the fact is that Villarreal also did not have good results in La Liga so far this season. Therefore, then of course Milan will still have a very good chance of winning.

Perhaps, I will also say that Milan will be able to win easily, by beating Rennes in leg 1 and leg 2. Because after all, of course Milan has better quality and performance compared to Rennes so far this season in their results in the domestic league and also in this European tournament. So yes, it is very natural that Milan are very favored to win and thus, Milan also has a chance to be able to advance further in the Europa League this season.

This is quite funny because Bayern Munich are not a team to be underated, even though their form haven't been so impressive of recent, but I know that they will definitely step up for the big occasions, I can bet you that they will send Lazio parking.

I don't see any reason why Bayern will be removed from the list. I think you are judging Bayern with their previous lose against Frankfurt. Bayern is playing with Lazio here and I believe Lazio can never stop them from qualifying through the round of 16.

Even though they play in several different competitions, Bayer Leverkusen is still in their best condition. They still dominate the Bundesliga standings with an unbeaten record, while in the Europa League they are also one of the favorite teams to win the title. Anything can still happen in football, not to mention there will be several strong teams from the Champions League who will join. Liverpool is also performing very well this season, there will be very tight competition in the Europa League this season because several strong teams will compete for a trophy.

Real Madrid are the more favourite team listed here to me,and if I'm to remove a team,I would definitely remove Bayern because there are so many teams that are better than them that are not listed here.For instance,Arsenal,they are a team I so much tip to get through to the semi final or the final of this competition.They are given FC porto,and I just think that match is a game that they can easily win because some of their players who have made them lose some games this season are back from injury,like Partey and Timber,these are players who can give Arsenal boost and make them look so solid.

The UCL round of 16 fixtures have been scheduled and this is more say the beginning of the tournament as it's got the best 16 teams all round of the European leagues. Definitely the battle will be fierce. There'd be no chance for errors and all 16 teams are victory focused. None would want to be disqualified. Although the draw produced some less stressful fixtures and an easy to predict winner whilst some produced a fixture that has both teams at a point to fight hard for an advancement ticket.

 Real Madrid, Bayern, Man City and Dortmund are the teams with higher odds of advancing, whilst the remaining fixtures, it's difficult to predict. All teams are good in their domestic league and not judging based on their domestic league performances, but they actually are liable to doing more better in the UCL than their domestic league.
