If Sevilla manage to beat Lens in the last match of the group phase, then Sevilla will finish in third place. If that happens, then of course Sevilla will return to playing in the Europa League in this knockout phase. But yes, even if for example Sevilla returns to playing in the Europa League, but it is unlikely that Sevilla will have the same luck as last season. Because ya, we have realized that the Europa League this season has strong candidates for the trophy and thus, if Sevilla does not get lucky then it is impossible for Sevilla to get the Europa League trophy again. Because yes, basically the competition in this season is more difficult and also, the big teams in the Europa League have also certainly realized the Sevilla scenario which will certainly be a serious consideration as well.
The last match will be a decisive match for Sevilla because in the last match they can change their fate to appear in the European league if they can beat Lens at the Stade Bollaert Delelis stadium. Even though it is an away match, the opportunity for Sevilla to rank 3rd is greater and it is likely that they will be able to do it. Sevilla is really quite weak in the Champions League, they cannot maintain their strength when facing other teams. But Lens has a bigger chance of playing in the European league because they can target a draw for their last match and that is enough for them. Especially playing at home, Lens automatically takes the upper hand in their last match.

In group A where Manchester United will also face big obstacles in their last match because they have to be able to win the last match to determine their fate. I think either Manchester United or Sevilla will likely try hard to join the European league in their last match. Manchester united needed a miracle to qualify for the last 16 and that will not be possible again.

In group E ,the game between Liverpool and  LASK, the first half ended in Favour of Liverpool where Luis Diaz scored the account opening goal for Liverpool. Mohammed Salah needs to step up his game in the front, I didn't see that flexibility in him in the first half and I hope he performance in this second half and to get a bit spicey in his touches with the ball . Liverpool had opportunities to score more goals in the first half but they failed, the team generally should bring in more strength and do better in this second half.
Liverpool is already leading with 3 goals to 0 vs Lask and they are topping the group E table since Toulouse result in the other game is a 0 - 0 draw vs Union Saint-Gilloise. If the final results will be the same then Liverpool will be the first regardless of the 6th and final round.
Ajax Amsterdam is gonna lose this match vs Marseille if they will continue like that, worst part is that they will not qualify even if they win since Brighton and Marseille already confirmed their qualification in this group.

Liverpool played well in the first half, they were able to score two goals already which has made the work easy for them to finish on top of the group ahead of Toulouse.

The group E team matches is interesting to watch, because as expected, Liverpool is leading after winning todays match while Toulouse if they were able to win today against Union Saint, they will qualify to the round of 32.

Both Servette and AS Roma have come into this Europa League fixture in good form, with Roma making a strong start to their Europa League campaign, winning three of their four games and finishing second in the group. Servette, however, have struggled in the Europa League so far, finishing third in Group G with just four points from four matches. They will be keen to secure a win at home and improve their chances of going into the knockout stages. However, Roma lost their last Europa League match 2-0 against Slavia Prague. Although Roma are strong on paper, they are looking to bounce back from recent defeats in their struggles away from home. I think the Servette vs Roma match is likely to be a draw.

I'm not entirely convinced that a tie will occur in this game. Roma is the favorite to win today's game since, in my opinion, they are a stronger squad than Servette. I am really confident that Roma, even though they are playing as the away club, will win, even when considering their last leg encounter. Roma appears to be in good shape and well-prepared to win, and I think this is because they are better than Servette and will therefore have the advantage to win.

Servette may look strong at home, but I don't think they'll put on a particularly strong display against Roma that would end in a draw. In the next two hours, let's watch how things develop and predict what might happen on the field.

Roma are away in this match but they are the clear favourites as the difference in player quality is also quite evident in today's match.
But looking at the game in this almost finished first half even though Roma did have the ball I didn't see them dominating the game even looking at the chances Servette were actually better although their finishing was poor.
Roma took a 1 goal lead thanks to Lukaku but from 45 minutes of running time I only saw this one goal which was Roma's best chance so far. IMO this does not reflect a big club competing with a club that can still be said to be mediocre even though they are good to be in the Europa League but who knows this Servette.
Second half I think Roma need to be better to show the difference in the quality of the club because even now they can still get 3 points thanks to 1 goal but I'm not too impressed with the final result.

Roma leading 0-1 at halftime they could have scored at least one more but they got lucky they didnt concede a couple of goals. Servette playing good and made a lot of problems to Romas defence but just couldnt score. If they continue like this they might score.

Liverpool team is strong. And Liverpool have the strongest squad among Europa League teams. And this is why the Liverpool team is considered as the favorite for the Europa League title.
Liverpool did not waste time to show how strong they are, Luis Diaz was quick to find the LASK goal. I did not expect this game to go differently because Liverpool are even playing at home. Two goals already in the first half, can still say they are not done scoring and will score more goals in the second half because players like Mo Salah have nor scored yet. Liverpool in the europa will have to show that they are bigger than the competition by winning it, which will not be easier with other teams from the champions league arriving soon.

Well you were right afterall cause if you check the scoreline currently you'll see that Roma are currently leading by a goal and even dominating the game, they're on the verge of ending the 1st half and I doubt if Servette would be able to get a comeback before the 1st half ends, Lukaku is currently in a very good form since he returned from the international break and he was he one who hit the target to put his team in front and it was a fine assit by Diego Llorente that lead to the goal.

 Well it's not the end of the game yet and anything is possible, let's she if Servette would be able to turn the game around and get a comeback or Roma would add more goals to seal the 3points, left for me I think if there's any team to score more goals then it is going to be Roma cause they pose more threat than Servette even in their home ground.

Roma is currently leading by a goal in the first half of the game, they were able to get their first goal in the early minutes of the first half and aswell they have dominated so far, the first half seem a bit easy fro Roma with lesser resistance from their host although more is expected.

Let's hope Roma will be able to get a second goal by the second half to seal their victory for the game tonight and be able to secure Three points to increase their Chances of qualifying pass the group stage of the Europa , so far Roma has won three out of four game played and has lost one, most likely they stand a chance to secure a spot and the second round of the Europa league league this season and if they are consistent with brilliant performance, then the league title may not be far from them.

Surprisingly, Sparta Prague managed to beat Real Betis at home with a narrow score of 1-0. I don't understand why Real Betis lost this match even though they were one step away from locking in victory as group C winners. However, it doesn't seem to be going well and this result means that Real Betis will still fight in the last match before determining their chances of qualifying for the round of 16. big European league. On the other hand, this result means that Sparta Prague still has the opportunity to qualify for the next round in the remaining match against Aris.
I think Real Betis already tried their best to win the match but they were just unlucky today. They dominated the match, they won the ball possessions and made 11 shots. Unfortunately, they failed to score goals until the end of the match. Well, actually this match is quite crucial for Real Betis, their are secure to qualify for the next round if they won this match. Unfortunately, they were defeated, so they must win in the last match to qualify for the next round.

Indeed, Sparta Prague still has the chance to qualify if they can win the final match against Aris Limassol. But it can happen if Real Betis can be defeated by Rangers in the next match and Rangers is defeated by Aris in today match.

Another match from Group C will soon take place between Rangers vs Aris and if Rangers can win then they will top the group C standings and their opportunities are even more open after Real Betis' defeat.
The match has been started. Aris is leading with 1 goal in the first half. It is quite surprising if Rangers will lose points in this match. Rangers misses the chance to lead group C if they fail to get 3 points today.

A very interesting game in group G indeed with two teams that have been struggling, one with domestic league and the other with European competitions and that's one factor that separates both sides. Roma seem to be in a better form than servette at the moment and this is evident as Roma is above servette in the table log and going into this game Roma has an added advantage and will by all means take all 3points to secure a place in the next round, on the other hand servette will try to resist Roma tonight to keep their hopes of qualifying alive, if this happens then servette would have to win their game to qualify for the next round, I don't think this is really going to happen.

DO you expected with Sevilla come back to Europe League after failure with Champion League? I want to see Sevilla appearance become the winner two consecutives time with Europe League trophies, but need magician if can take three points away against Lens automatically will get one spot trough playoff round ticket.

Sevilla is a team that is currently dominated by old players. The intensity of the matches in UCL is fast tempo. The average player is over 30 years old, of course some of their physiques may no longer be able to face young opposing players. I think, This is the cause of Sevilla decline in performance. If Sevilla loses in the last match, then there will no longer be a chance for Sevilla to play in UEL. This reminds of Milan's tragedy when they were too comfortable with old players in the past and struggling in domestic and even absence for UCL for a long time.

I guess this season Sevilla is facing the truth because to be honest, how likely is it that a season when they are so bad in La Liga ends with the Europa League title and the Champions League participation?

Just look how long they haven't won any title in La Liga and now they are going to feel the consequences. I think there is no backdoor for them this time and Lens tied the game against them in Spain. They now need to tie it again and will instead go to the Europa League. It would be a surprise if Sevilla makes it, and it would also be fun but I don't believe they will do it this year.

If Sevilla manage to beat Lens in the last match of the group phase, then Sevilla will finish in third place. If that happens, then of course Sevilla will return to playing in the Europa League in this knockout phase. But yes, even if for example Sevilla returns to playing in the Europa League, but it is unlikely that Sevilla will have the same luck as last season. Because ya, we have realized that the Europa League this season has strong candidates for the trophy and thus, if Sevilla does not get lucky then it is impossible for Sevilla to get the Europa League trophy again. Because yes, basically the competition in this season is more difficult and also, the big teams in the Europa League have also certainly realized the Sevilla scenario which will certainly be a serious consideration as well.
Europa League is season will not be at it was, if Sevilla wins Lens it would be a surprise to me because that is what they know how to do, but the problem is will Lens allow them to win them at home, right now Len have great chance to qualify to Europa League than Sevilla with draw they are good to go but I know Sevilla will push hard to get the three points, if the Sevilla manage and win Lens they will qualify due due to goals different, right now Sevilla have more goals than Lens and already they have conceded the same number which is ten, Sevilla with 6 goals and Lens with 4 goals.

Funny you should say this when they were even worse in the league last season but they somehow won the Europa league. We should have learnt by now not to underrate Sevilla. As far as there's still a chance for them to go to the Europa, they can take it. If Sevilla can manage to win Lens in the final game id the group stage then they'll be heading to the Europa league and we all know how Sevilla gets when they're in the Europa league. They're like the Real Madrid of the champions league. You can never write them off.
Lens would make it very difficult for Sevilla too because they also want to keep playing European football. Both Lens are Sevilla are similar in terms of current form, they're both not in a very good form.

I think Roma will be the favourite to win this game because they are stronger than Servette. Just because Roma lost their last game doesn't mean they can't beat Servette now. Roma wants to play well because, based on their performance in their most recent serie A match, they can still perform well in the Europa League. While I'm not very confident that Roma will be able to win the league title this season, I do think they will try to advance to the next round of the league.

There is nothing to be concerned about as long as Dybala and Lukaku are on the Roma team. Dybala is an excellent player who can play every position on the field, and I think he won't want Servette to win this game because if he does, they won't be able to have a point. On the other hand, I think Roma should sign Lukaku straight away to prevent him from returning to Chelsea, where he won't be valued.

Yeah I agree with you Roma is more favored in this match even though they play away, another reason Roma also wants to avoid the playoffs because the team that finished in position 2 will go through the play off round so if Roma win + more goals then Roma as grup winner in Group G it means they go to the next round.Currently Roma and Slavia Prague have the same point, which is 9 points so if the two teams win then the total point is the same then the total goal will be a determinant.

Damn, Roma only played a draw while Slavia Prague won the match. In the remaining matches, Roma must win the last match and hope that Slavia Prague loses. with this scenario, Roma will lead the standings, if not then Roda has to go through a play off round to go to the next stag. it's a shame that Roma wasted this great opportunity.

Interesting group this one together with the Brighton group.I think that it was expected that Real Betis would suffer as even in the game when playing away against Aris they suffered to get the victory and I don't remember if they got it or not.Sparta Prague is on top form when playing at home in the domestic league and this sometimes translates also in the Europa League competition.Now they have real chances to get further ahead if they win the last game as against Aris they should not have that big of a problem winning although in Europa League we have seen a huge amount of surprises in the last match days.

Liverpool team is strong. And Liverpool have the strongest squad among Europa League teams. And this is why the Liverpool team is considered as the favorite for the Europa League title. But the main problem is that big teams like Liverpool or Barcelona have no interest in the Europa League title. Liverpool will be looking to dominate the Premier League first. And the Europa League title is their second priority. And we have already got the proof. Despite a fantastic performance in the Premier League, the Liverpool team lost against Toulouse in the Europa League match. Personally I don't think Liverpool are favorites for the Europa League title.
Yes, the EPL title is always Liverpool's main target, but becoming double winners by winning the Europa League will also be a priority for them, meaning Liverpool will not let this opportunity pass them by. I still believe that the Reds will always prioritize being the best in the Europa League and he remains a strong candidate to achieve that.
it's hard to agree that Liverpool can double have a trophy this season particularly as  the EPL title winner of this season with the Manchester City and mostly Arsenal that are on fire this season causing destruction to every team that cross their part. In summary, I think Liverpool have a higher chance of winning the Europa than the EPL so they should focus more energy on that path as divided target can cause them to lose on both sides. The round 16 of the Europa league is the hardest round in competition as new teams that didn't make it to the next round in the UCL will be returning from  to meet with the existing ones in Europa making the competition much competitive.

I don't think Liverpool has a chance to win the Europa League this season because they have some tough clubs in the Europa League and it will be very difficult for Liverpool to win the trophy because even now Bayern Leverkusen is performing well in the Europa League and if you compare them to Liverpool this season they are more better than them and if they join they can defeat Liverpool because Bayern Leverkusen has not lost any match in the group and Liverpool have lost 3 point against Toulouse, that means Bayer Leverkusen are stronger than them in the competition because they have not lost a game and I am confident they will try to win all of their games in the competition, and they will face Häcken this night and I trust they will win because they are not performing well.
