Manchester United are inconsistent or it won't had been be a problem for them to win Fenerbahce, Erik ten Hag is without some of his key players and this is going to be a problem for him as without those players, his chances of winning is reducing. Jose mourinho is a very technical coach that loves to use mind games and defensive formation to win his games. Against Manchester united will be another opportunity for his name to be praised by the media and get back into the spotlight as he has been out of it for a very long time. Right now isn't a time for Manchester United to be playing any of their former coaches as they'll want to punish them by winning.

Barely won the game, I fear I may have to stop betting on Galatasaray now, they already had their easier games played, not many easy games left, rest are heavily more difficult games and they look not that great when it comes to European competitions so far, we saw what happened with Young Boys as well.

Thankfully things change when it comes to league games and they do win mostly, so betting on that will continue but I do not think I will bet on them at Europe. Next up is Tottenham if I am not  wrong, so it looks like obviously that will be a very difficult game, and because of this not betting on them on that game makes sense, we shouldn't really be expecting anything further than just what we have, so it can't possibly be a big deal.

Well, finally Galatasaray won again the match. It will be bad if Galatasaray got another draw result in UEL.  

TBH, I'm not really satisfying with the performance of Galatasaray. I think they only focused in the match during the first half, they lost focus in the second half. I don't know why Galatasaray defense looked very fragile in second half. They actually really dominated the match and made many chances to score goals, but their defense were often not ready to deal with the counter-attack of Elfsborg players.

The match is interesting in the second half. In the first half, the match is totally for Galatasaray. Elfsborg has no chance in the first half, they failed score goals and conceded 3 goals. It was surprised Elfsborg could scored 3 goals in the second half. I agree that Elfsborg may equalize the scores if the extra time were more than 10 minutes. 

Galatasaray beat Elfsborg 4-3 tonight. Galatasaray played well but left the game after 3-0. This is our problem, the same thing happened in the Riga game and we tied.
Okan Hoca still can't make his substitutions on time.
I don't like Kerem Demirbay at all but Okan Hoca doesn't give up on this player.

Sara played very well again, I think he is the player of the night.

All you said is right, but the big names the clubs are carrying is making people to take all the excuses they are bringing which should not be accepted these two teams inconsistency is making the teams looks like an average teams; only Tottenham is doing well so far because they won all their opening matches in the Europa League.

Other teams are also doing well, but among the top team, Tottenham ham is doing very well and they are my favorites to win the Europa League

Galatasary has taken the table lead of the Europa League table after securing their second Europa League win against Ellsberg, they have seven points which made them lead the Europa League.

If they will take the game very serious as business, Fenerbahce would no way be a problem to Man Utd side because they're more experienced than the host team, However, the game will be a tough one because the host team is in form judging by their recent games played this season,  and Manchester united must not them for granted.

Manchester United has been struggling to get winning in the English Premier League this season not just the game against Brentford but all their league matches but against Brentford they were determined to get the winning and they won because they had a better performance than the away team.

Coming to the Europa League competition which I think will be difficult to predict the possibility of United getting victory looking at the team that they are playing against, the Fenerbahce team is in good form they have a good performance in the Europa League this season and the absent of Bruno for United will affect the performance of the team but even without him I believe United cen still get a win against Fenerbahce. The special one being the coach of Fenerbahce will make it possible for United to get the victory but the end shall tell what the outcome will be I will not give up on United in this game.

The match between Galatasaray and Elfsborg has ended with a final score of 4-3 for galatasaray win, the match was very exciting and it can be seen that both teams have a very big ambition to win that the match, the reciprocate scoring of goals in the match in my opinion adds for us the attraction to watch the match until the end, Galatasaray who played at home and dominated the game more actually got strong resistance from Elfsborg, even I think if there was a little more time for Elfsborg maybe they will be able to equalize the score in the match, considering the strength of the attack they built before the match end, but indeed the quality of the squad owned by Galatasaray is actually the difference that makes them play better than Elfsborg in that match.

Fenerbahce has had inconsistent results lately. They have shown weaknesses at times, especially in defense. Manchester United have also been inconsistent. Especially in the last games, the defeat against Tottenham and the draw against Porto exposed their defensive problems.

Both managers are going through difficult times. Their teams are not doing well either. In such a period, going into a match like this creates uncertainty for both teams. Maybe that's why both teams can stay more in control in this match. Because a defeat in this game could lead to bigger problems. Mourinho is playing a boring football plan at Fenerbahce and has accustomed the team to this style of play. Erik ten Hag will also be without a star like Bruno Fernandes. I think this game will be controlled and will end in a draw.

As for me, I was not that shocked when Manchester United won the game against Brentford because I always judge Manchester United as a big team facing team like Brentford and co. Despite their not being in good form currently, it's hard for me to predict that they will lose or draw against a small teams. Every time Manchester United has a match with small teams, all my thoughts are that anything can happen, and I always see Manchester United as the favorite to win when they play against teams like Brentford, Nottingham Forest, Wolves, Fulham, and other teams like this. However, the truth is that when they are playing against teams like Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal recently, based on their form, my thoughts always is that it would only be through luck that Manchester United could draw with them.

Even in Manchester United  upcoming match against Fenerbahce, despite knowing that Manchester United is not in good condition right now, they are still my favorite team to win the match. Fenerbahce may be in good form in their domestic league, but I don't think they are as good as Manchester United. Manchester United has a quality set of players that Fenerbahce doesn't have, and with that, they can turn up at any time. That is why I will prefer them as my favorite team to win the match. Manchester United hasn't had a win in the Europa competition yet, and in this upcoming match, they will likely want to get a win, so they may put in more effort to beat Fenerbahce.

Final score 4-3 for Galatasaray's victory. I think they underestimated their opponents. In the second half, they relaxed their attacks after leading 3-0. As a result, Elfsborg was able to score 3 goals, one of which was scored through a penalty.
And it seems that Galatasaray's defense line must be evaluated, they are very fragile, Elfsborg only recorded 6 shots on target but half of them were converted into goals,
if it is like this in the next match, Okan buruk troops will have difficulty when hosting Tottenham.

It's always the same, isn't it? Galatasaray under Okan Buruk always score early but then the opponent reduces the margin because of wrong changes and late moves.
I think it was the 4th goal that saved them today, if Yunus hadn't scored that goal with his individual effort the game would have ended in a draw. It wouldn't have been surprising if Galatasaray drew today after losing points 3-3 from 3-0 in previous games. Against such easy opponents they should win without difficulty but they barely win every game.
How long will this go on? That is not clear. I think Okan Buruk may be sacked before the end of the season when they start failing to get 3 points. They won't always be so lucky.

I think you are in the wrong discussion, because this is the European League, while Aston Villa is in the Champions League.

An interesting match was presented in the match between Galatasaray vs Elfsborg. Actually Galatasaray could have led 3 goals before the first half ended, but entering the second half Elfsborg responded very well and slowly was able to reply to the goal created by Galatasaray. However, it is indeed difficult to catch up with 3 goals, especially since Galatasaray could also add 1 more goal in the second half. Elfsborg who tried hard to equalize had to feel disappointed because they failed to do so. However, I am still entertained by this match.

Today's Galatasaray vs Elfsborg match was quite interesting. In the first half, we saw a dominant Galatasaray, and in the second half, Elfsborg came very close to a comeback. Overall, I liked Galatasaray's performance. I think Galatasaray's current problem is not being able to maintain the lead, and no matter how far ahead they are, they don't give a sense of control over the game.



As you can see, Mauro Icardi was selected as the man of the match (according to Sofascore). Still, we have to give credit to Yunus Akgün. Since Kerem Aktürkoğlu left, he has been in the spotlight and manages to stand out in every game. I'm sure he'll achieve great success in the Europa League as well.

Besides that, we can present the general statistics of the match as follows;



It was an exciting and competitive match. In recent weeks, I've seen very few matches with such high entertainment value. I hope all the matches will be this enjoyable (as long as Galatasaray wins).

The win over Brentford can boost the confidence of Manchester United players when facing Fenerbahce, but it does not mean that Manchester United can match Fenerbahce strength because overall they have not been completely consistent in maintaining their performance since the start of the season. Fenerbahce really needs three points because this match is very important for them, since the new format was implemented, Home matches must be utilized to get full points.

Jose Mourinho will try to shape his team to play aggressively to get the winning goal, after that he will focus more on defense to secure the victory. This match will be difficult for Manchester United because Fenerbahce quality is better than Brentford.

It was already half time and Galatasaray was able to lead 3-0. What an extraordinary result they managed to achieve in the first half. Maybe there will be 1 or 2 more goals in the second half if you look at Galatasaray's performance. but that's also if Elfsborg doesn't make many changes in the second half.
Galatasaray's next match will be against Tottenham, which I don't think will be easy for Galatasaray. They must take advantage of as many opportunities to win as possible when facing a team that is profitable for them.

Galatasaray has won 1-0 and this result is only temporary because the match minutes are still available.
Galatasaray vs Elfsborg seems one-sided. From what I see now, it is not that difficult for Galatasaray to win this match until the end. What I am thinking is can Galatasaray add to the score, at least 3 goals?
Icardi has. I hope Osimhen and Mertens can score.

I forgot the last time I often watched Serie A, for now I rarely watch teams competing in Serie A. except, those who participate in the Europa League and Champions League. Roma has declined since the last time they were coached by Capello, since the Totti era and until now for some reason Serie A is less interesting for me. especially with Juventus, since last season their performance has indeed declined greatly plus players who left and were injured. as for Roma, I think De Rossi will bring this team back up. especially, after they brought Artem Dovbyk from Girona. however, in the end Roma changed their coach. in the hands of their new coach, Roma has not been able to rise. from 6 matches in various competitions, ivan Juric was only able to record 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. well, if Roma is targeting to qualify for the next round, then they must complete the rest of their matches with a win. tomorrow, Roma will host Dinamo Kiev. on paper, they are much more favored. This match should have been the first win, especially since it was held at the Olimpico, Roma's home base.

I agree that İsmail Kartal was successful. However, the reason for his dismissal was not finishing second in the league, but rather resting key players against Olympiacos in the UEFA Conference League, which led to Fenerbahçe being eliminated in the quarter-finals. When Olympiacos, who defeated Fenerbahçe on penalties, later became the Conference League champions, fans criticized İsmail Kartal heavily.

After a series of failures in achieving victory, finally Manchester United can get back to 3 points after a very fierce match, the victory over Brentford has at least improved the performance and mentality that the current Manchester United squad has, but I think we are here talking about Europa League matches and as we know so far if the atmosphere of the Premier League and the Europa League is very different,  Sometimes games in the domestic league can't be a reference for us to see them perform better in the Europa League, so I think Manchester United victory over Brentford doesn't guarantee that they will be able to easily beat Fenerbache later in the Europa League.
