It is really more difficult to predict teams in qualification round. They don't make me surprised this much in group stage. Probably Molde will win next time but I won't place a bet on their win this time.
As you know there is no relegation to the Conference League in this new format. It is more possible to predict the winner of the competition earlier. Do you have any favourites in your mind?
Molde's got a tough away game next, and Elfsborg's looking strong at home. Dont be surprised if they end up topping the group. If you're looking for a safer bet, stick to teams that are performing well in their domestic leagues. Or, hey, go for a Double Chance bet. Its not as flashy, but its a smart play. As for who's gonna win it all, its too early to say. But keep an eye on those teams that are consistently performing well early on. They might just be the dark horses of this year's Europa League.
