Concluding that Liverpool are the favorites to win the cup is too early in my opinion because there are also good teams in the league and again you should be aware that teams that gets knocked out of the champions league will join them in the next round making it more challenging for them to be the favorites. I am not condemning their performance, they are good and they have improved well in recent games and they are one of the favorites to win the Europa title.
yep, I fully support your opinion and not only that, Liverpool has to fight against other strong teams currently in the european league such as Leverkusen and this team will be a very competitive opponent and also maybe as you said a team from UCL will be present there. This third competition failed to qualify.
so we are too quick to speculate who will lift the european League trophy, while Liverpool strong performance is not the only one. other teams have performances equal to Liverpool and let's see first which UCL team does not qualify and continue competing in the European League. and we can speculate after the next round runs.
So far so good,  Liverpool has had a favourable season this season since the beginning of the season I have viewed Liverpool's performance to be likened to their performance in the 2021 season when the club was almost topping the third position before they lost some key players some due to injuries and others by transfers to other clubs,  but all the same, Liverpool have shown a lot of positive signs in this season and there is no doubt that some similar clubs may stand as opposition to them but in the end, I believe Liverpool will end the current season on a good note.

It is too easy for Liverpool now. Because they have a group full of much weaker teams. Maybe they lost to Toulouse but Klopp did some significant rotation in that match as well. They were already comfortable at the first position so it was the right call there to tell the truth. But I'm pretty confident that they would secure the lead anyway.

After that it is going to be really crucial for them to manage a busier schedule in the best manner. This season they look like they are back to their usual performance. This could mean that we would see an effective level of performance from them not only here but also the EPL at the same time.  Smiley

Liverpool are the only team who are coming out to be so consistent in the Europa league this season

Talking about consistency i don’t agree with your claims,

The beauty about European competitions is that it is a no brainer; Europa league does not care if you have a world class team, Europa league does not care if you are a consistent team; its a knock out competition where the winner takes it all. the winner doesn't have to be the better team. And this is why Sevilla and Villarreal have won the trophy alot in recent times because they excel at winning ugly.

The thing is, which current crop of players and clubsides can win the Europa league against all odds?

The idea of saying "favorites" doesn't mean that they are guaranteed to win, it just means that they have the highest chance out of all teams. We can't just say that some smaller club have a higher chance, obviously Liverpool has the highest chance.

This doesn't mean that they have 100% chance to win, even if they have 20% chance to win, and others have less than 20% chance, that means Liverpool is the favorites to win, that's what the odds normally say too, in a league situation or a cup, if a team has 2.20 odds at the start of the season before anything starts, that means they have less than 50% chance to win, but they are still the favorites. We need to remember what that word means to get the full situation clearly.

Leverkusen is showing a very good performance in both competitions Europa LEague and Bundesliga, they dont lose a single game, but the problems with this teams is, when they are gonna have the dump in the season? some times the not so big teams have that dump in critical phase of the tournaments and they ended up going out having only one or two bad games.

There is no need to wait for Bayer Leverkusen to be eliminated or fall, because as long as Bayer Leverkusen manages to keep its current squad from getting injured, at least it will also keep Bayer Leverkusen consistent this seasons. Because anyway,why we should waitingfor Bayer Leverkusen to fall or be eliminated this seasons, isn't it if Bayer Leverkusen manages to win the trophy it is a greatsuccess and makes the Europa League have and maybe also the Bundesliga has a new winner this season. Anyway, when Bayern Munich continued to dominate the Bundesliga in fact many expected to have a new winner and so did about the Europa League with Sevilla. So ya, I personally not will expect Bayer Leverkusen to fall, because I hope Bayer Leverkusen can make a big surprise this season.

One of the most interesting events for the Europa League will also be the last game in the group stage of the Champions League because then we will know who the big teams are that will be joining the Europa League for the KO stages.

I think they still have up to two matches to play before we can know those teams that will be coming down to play in the Europa League, and with these remaining two games, I believe the matches will be really tough because in some of this group, the point differences are not much, they are just like 1 point or 2 points, and with that, every team will like to put in more effort so they can qualify for next stage of champions.
 
Quote
It could be Manchester United or Galatasaray, which I think are both pretty strong teams, and it is one team from the strongest group with PSG etc. I think besides Liverpool, whatever team will go to the Europa League from the PSG group will also be a favorite to win the Europa League.

Yes, I think that the teams in the Champions League are always very strong, which is why they always get to play in the Champions League. However, it is also true that some of these teams in the Champions League are unable to defeat some teams in the Europa League due to poor performances. I have seen teams that, although they are considered the favorites to win the Europa League, actually lose when they play in the competition.Thus, it could be too soon to declare which teams from the Champions League are the favorites to win the Europa League; instead, we should wait and watch how they perform in the competition.


Indeed there is more patience needed for several of the groups until we know who is going to be send from the Champions League into the Europa League. But last season it didn't really make a difference with all these strong teams in the Europa League like Manchester United and first and foremost Arsenal, where everyone thought that they would be the one to win the Europa League title. I wonder if we will have another surprise team this year, but that's hard to believe with some of the teams being so strong like Liverpool. But it was literally the same with Arsenal last season.

Xabi's impact is real. Nothing surprise caused by xabi was able helping leverkusen to qualify for the europa league with only a half of season. Xabi is showing more consistently gained by his club. Leverkusen is having very solid performance in all of positions.
Xabi has been changing this club so much with all of his experience as footballers. No doubt if he will be targeting by big clubs. United can start to pursue him at this moment.

Manchester united really needs someone like him who can handle everything. Leverkusen was performing so badly last season but the came of xabi was changing the club a lot. I would like to see more of him soon.
It will be so amazing if leverkusen will able to win the europa league this season. It will be a complete story for xabi. he will also able to add his first achievement as a coach on his portfolio.

The group stages of the Champions League comes to an end and all eyes on Manchester United’s group, because of how close and tight the odds are, Manchester United still has a chance of going up as runners up in the group but they have to put alot of effort to achieve that, it's not going to be easy beating both Galatasaray and Bayern Munich.

 But that will only happen if they’ll be able to grab at least 4 points from the 2 matches, this editon’s of European Competition will hold lots of surprises and interesting moments let’s see how the coming match week goes and trust Sevilla to always love the Europa league and go far in that section of European competition.
There are still two matches left in the Champions League group stage before the third-placed team will play in the European league. Man United's chances of becoming runners-up will be quite difficult because they will face Galatasaray and Bayern Munich so it is more realistic when they fight to finish in third place. Football can always give rise to surprises, but if you look at the opportunities and quality of play they currently have, it will be difficult for Man United to qualify for the round of 16 especially many of the players they currently have are injured.

Sevilla is also experiencing setbacks and currently they still have two points and are in the bottom position in the group standings. The effort to play in the European league may still be quite big as long as they can take third place and maybe this target is not too difficult because Sevilla knows how they have to play to qualify for the European League.

Liverpool are the only team who are coming out to be so consistent in the Europa league this season,they have been so good in the couple of games they've played,and since they are the side with the most consistency in the Europa,we actually think they are the one who are favourite for the trophy.It won't be bad if they can pull out this one because it's really been long they won a trophy like this,so they need to belt up and ensure they win this one.
Liverpool are really doing something great this season,they stand second in the premier league table,and might remain in the top four this season.Its a good season for them,so they have to keep the consistency.

Talking about consistency i don’t agree with your claims, Liverpool are not the most consistent team in the Europa league so far because they lost a match to toulouse and to talk about consistency results should be the first thing you should think of. It is so obvious and i think Bayern Liverkursen are the most consistent team in the Europa league this season because they have managed to win all their matches so far in the league and they are the only team with 12 points so far.

Concluding that Liverpool are the favorites to win the cup is too early in my opinion because there are also good teams in the league and again you should be aware that teams that gets knocked out of the champions league will join them in the next round making it more challenging for them to be the favorites.

Liverpool leads in Group E with 9 points while Toulouse is in 2nd place with 7 points. It could be said that Toulouse and Liverpool will definitely qualify for the next round.

Meanwhile, to become champions of the European League this season, I doubt Liverpool's journey will be smooth, there are still many strong teams that could pose a threat to them, and it is possible that anything could happen until the end of the European League competition this season.
No, that's not how it works, if Toulouse is ranked second in Group E then they have to undergo a playoff match against the teams ranked third in the Champions League and the winner will compete in the round of 16, so Liverpool cannot be careless by only getting second place in the group phase.
Indeed, defeat against Toulouse will put Liverpool in doubt as group winners, but the remaining two matches should be enough to keep them in first place, and this should be a tournament that they can conquer to become champions of the European League, even though there are still other strong teams in the game in this competition but I see Liverpool as the strongest and the betting market also says the same thing by placing them as the most favorite with odds @ 3.45 while the second is Bayern Leverkusen @ 9.00 and other teams below them, and this shows quite a big difference in odds Maybe the consideration is because Liverpool is a team that is used to competing in the Champions League with more difficult competition, so the European League should not be an obstacle for them.

Secure one points its looks not enough for Atalanta although success qualify to next round but they have face with playoff round, I don't think Atalanta won't finish on 2nd placed behind with great opportunity for finishing 1st position automatically will be on 16th round. Atalanta have 3 points remaining from Sporting Lisbon, its looks excited upcoming match both teams will face each other and the winner has close potential with first position finish place.

I think chance for Sturm Graz team depend with the match result between Atalanta vs Udinese, could be little help for Sturm Graz if Atalanta defeated Sporting Lisbon and they win over Raków Częstochowa. If above result on next match happening will be excited on the last match between Sporting Lisbon vs Sturm Graz due the winner will qualify as playoff round, Sporting on crucial position right now and their upcoming match result will be important for their participants in next round of Europe League.
Indeed, one point will not be enough to maintain Atalanta's chances of qualifying for the last 16, therefore I say they need one more win to ensure this. Of the opponents that Atalanta will face, no one will give them trouble other than Sporting and that is why that will be the toughest obstacle they have to overcome.

I don't understand what you mean about the Atalanta vs Udinese match because it is a match in the domestic league and it has nothing to do with the group stages in the European league. Apart from all that, the Sporting vs Sturm Graz match will be the deciding factor for whoever passes to accompany Atalanta later.

I have now read your posts in this conversation two times to understand what you are talking about, and I am still wondering why you say that 1 point will not be enough to qualify for the last 16?

Atalanta has already qualified for the next round in the Europa League. They can lean back and lose both games now and would 100% guaranteed be in the next round. The only question that now remains is whether they will finished 1st or 2nd in that group. They have already won the head to head with Sturm Graz as they tied one game against them and won one game against them.

The only incentive to play their best now in the next two games is to give themselves the chance for a presumably easier draw in the round of the last 16.

Atalanta currently tops group D with 10 points from 4 matches and they only need 1 more win to maintain their chances of qualifying as group winners. However, they will face obstacles because they will face a fairly strong team in the group, namely Sporting. Even though in the previous meeting Atalanta managed to beat Sporting by a narrow score, this time Sporting will fight it out considering that they have two more matches to qualify, one of which is that they have to get 3 points when they visit Atalanta.

This will be quite a difficult match for both teams because they are both aiming for 3 points to maintain their chances of qualifying. On the other hand, Sturm Graz, which is currently in 3rd position, will still have the possibility of qualifying if it wins the next two matches. This will be another exciting round of the European league and I am curious who will advance to the next round from these 3 teams.
Secure one points its looks not enough for Atalanta although success qualify to next round but they have face with playoff round, I don't think Atalanta won't finish on 2nd placed behind with great opportunity for finishing 1st position automatically will be on 16th round.

Manchester United and Sevilla are already on their way to the Europa League because their chances of getting second place in their respective groups is very low. For Manchester United, getting six complete points or at least four from their last two matches will be difficult, and Copenhagen and Galatasaray will also not relent; they will keep playing well to hope and aim to qualify for the next round of the competition. That is the reason why I said that Manchester United and Sevilla will likely end up in the Europa League.
If Manchester United and Sevilla can finish the group stage in the 3rd place, they can go to Europa League. I agree that they have a chance, but I don't want to have a big expectation for them although they will play in Europa League. Their performance looks very unstable this season, they don't have a winning mentality. I think for Europa League, Leverkusen and Liverpool will remain as the favorite teams to win the title this season.

Liverpool have a pretty easy group and this has been a big help for Klopp to do rotation in their lineup quite often as well. Maybe this led to their losing the Toulouse match too but still there is no problem for Liverpool. They are currently the biggest favourite for the Europa League title by far according to bookmakers as well which isn't surprising at all.
They are in easy group but they couldn't win all the matches, right? In the last match, Liverpool was defeated by Toulouse.
I agree that Klopp needs to rotate their players, but make sure they rotate the players with almost the same quality. If they rotate the players with very low quality, they can get another defeat like the last match. They are quite safe because they already got 9 points but Klopp must be more careful if it is already in knock out round. One mistake can end their journey in Europa League this season.

I think not only Liverpool, Leverkusen is also the favorite team to win Europa League title this season.

After this stage the matchups would probably get more challenging so Klopp would need to manage a tight schedule in an effective way. To be honest I believe that he will do this job successfully.

Well you maybe correct because one thing is that we cannot predict what the outcome will be but we can only assume because just like the Manchester City match and Chelsea everybody believes that Manchester City will beat Chelsea with a lot of goals but the outcome of the match surprises everybody do to Chelsea sudden impressive performance against Manchester City, so there is every chance that a club we did not even expect is going to win the Europa League this season but however let's watch and see what the outcome will be.
In the game of football, you can't take away the place of uprises and possibly unexpected outcomes of matches because that's one the most interesting part of the game and that's why some person try to predict what could possibly happen as gambling in most cases out there.

But then I think with the ability and the form many teams would have display or showed so far, one could possibly speculate a about a certain team been able to win the league title but this aswell doesn't guarantee that it will turn out as speculated. Some times like you rightly said, some small team could at mid season, pick form and become so good they climb up the standing so well and may end up competing at the finals just like last season UCL, but for now by speculations the bigger teams who have performed well already at this moment, stands a better chance.

There is no right scenario for Sparta Prague to qualify for the next round because after all, Betis and Rangers have certainly better quality than Sparta Prague and Aris. Also, even though at this moment Sparta Prague has 4 points and Aris 3 points,  but I am sure that Sparta Prague has a better chance to stay and finish in third place. Therefore, then I don't think there's any change in position for Sparta Prague and Aris, and I'm sure they'll stay that way until the end. But yes, about Betis and Rangers, at least their positions can still change, because they will certainly maximize in the remaining matches to win and to finish as group winners.
In the domestic league they play quite well and even quite consistently if we look, but in the European league Sparta Prague have not been able to compete efficiently with other teams. But their chances are quite big in the remaining two matches because Sparta Prague will play at home when they face Real Betis and also in the last match of the second leg they will face Aris. There is a possibility of qualifying for the next round if Sparta Prague is able to achieve victory in the remaining two because it will improve their ranking on the standings.

In group C, Real Betis really needs 1 more win to lock their ticket to the round of 16. Yes, the upcoming match will be quite crucial for them. But the depth of Real Betis squad makes it possible that they will be winners in the match against Sparta Prague. For Rangers, they must remain consistent in the remaining two matches because anything can happen if they fail to get full points.

Agreed Smiley — This is the reason why those teams that would leave the UCL for the Europa league were in the Champions league in the first place is because they're a strong team. So I envision that Liverpool would no longer be the sole favorites when those teams from UCL joins the UCL and give Liverpool a run for their money and squad quality. I'm looking forward to seeing which teams would be up to the challenge but I trust my Liverpool team to handle the challenge since UEL is like our first trophy that we could really win this season.


Liverpool are the only team who are coming out to be so consistent in the Europa league this season,they have been so good in the couple of games they've played,and since they are the side with the most consistency in the Europa,we actually think they are the one who are favourite for the trophy.It won't be bad if they can pull out this one because it's really been long they won a trophy like this,so they need to belt up and ensure they win this one.

Liverpool is a very strong team and they are performing very well in all there leagues this season, however there is a possibility they could win these Europa League because there performance these season is impressive.

And they have been leading on there group for sometime now with some points different from others but however Toulouse seem to have been there rival on there group because Liverpool is only beating them with just two points difference, so they really need to win there next match because if they lose and Toulouse win there own match they may likely become the first on there group.
Liverpool leads in Group E with 9 points while Toulouse is in 2nd place with 7 points. It could be said that Toulouse and Liverpool will definitely qualify for the next round.

Meanwhile, to become champions of the European League this season, I doubt Liverpool's journey will be smooth, there are still many strong teams that could pose a threat to them, and it is possible that anything could happen until the end of the European League competition this season.
