Definitely a tough period to handle all of this, it is not going to be easy and we are going to end up with a much better result if we know what we are doing. This could be a tough season to bet on Europa because there are too many games that are close to each other.
Do not be fooled by the results because these teams are a lot closer to each other than they look. When you look at the odds you think that there are high favourites to win the games, like for example any team that has like 1.50 or lower odds look like favourites but the reality is that these teams are a lot closer to each other at this level and the results could be very difficult to predict.
This is why I believe that we are going to end up with not easy bets and I avoid these bets, same goes for conference league as well, before the group stages it is nearly impossible to bet on all three European competitions because they all look terrible to me and not going to bet on them with my money.
Normally I try to bet like small amounts, and if I see something I really like I may do that, which I did at the UCL one, but I am not seeing anything that's good enough here because the risk is too high and even a small amount doesn't feel it's worth it.

I watched the Lugano - Beşiktaş game a little yesterday. Beşiktaş could have won easily when it was 3-1 but they were really bad in defense. I don't think they will fail in making it to league phase though. I expect a win in regular time next time. They are really good in offense but this needs to reflect on their defending at the same time. 
I was really delighted with Ajax's performance. A 4-1 win away... Maybe the opponent was much weaker on paper. But this was a good signal for them to increase their recovery speed.
It was sad to see Molde losing to Elfsborg home. It was in the betslip I was thinking of betting on. They can really be unpredictable sometimes.

When Liverpool qualified for the Europa League last season, we naturally discussed before the start of the season that Liverpool might do the best in the upcoming Europa League tournament and the most likely to win the title. Although we had already assumed that, Liverpool had a terrible performance in the Europa League and did not qualify for the semi-finals. There is no Liverpool this season, but Manchester United has qualified for the Europa League again, so we consider Manchester United to be the strongest team for this tournament. However, not always a team can perform as per our expectations, but the good news for Manchester United is that the two teams that were champions and runners-up last season are not in the Europa League this season and they have the potential to do well. Manchester United manager must take every match of the tournament seriously and perform according to the plan only then Manchester United can do well in the European League tournament.Surprises always come in football, big teams are not always able to win trophies, and so it is with Manchester United in the Europa League. Manchester United qualification to the Europa League through a special route after winning the FA Cup must be utilized by Ten Hag, this is a valuable opportunity for Ten Hag to prove his quality, if he still fails, perhaps Manchester United management will look for another coach to replace his position.

I think one of the reason why prediction in early season can easily end up wrong is because we can't factor team current atmosphere/mood, tactical shift, and so on. For Manchester United, I think dresing room atmosphere will be key to know how they will perform again this season. I think it's worth a shot for them to focus on winning the UEL too, if anything that should be the target considering the quality of their players relative to the competition. On the other hand, another upset would be welcome since it means games will be fun to watch. 
I agree that they were decent, but remember that we have seen Liverpool lose to Atalanta 3-0 when they were the leaders in the league, that should tell you how hard these competitions are. Of course they dropped to third place later on but that doesn't change the fact that we had them at the top during the time of the loss, a team leading premier league would be expected to beat most teams in the world, including UCL teams too, maybe not Real Madrid, but there aren't that many teams leader of premier league could lose to, and yet they lost to Atalanta.
So saying that United is good right now is true but also they could lose is once again true as well. Just because they look good, doesn't mean that they are going to win it, so much so that even if they end up being somehow incredible and win the premier league and shock the whole world, that still doesn't mean that they will win this one too. You have to play game by game to see how it will end up.
Liverpool's defeat in the Europa League against Atalanta last season was quite surprising, not only that because they also lost with a fairly big score at that time. So just like the others, the Europa League is also quite difficult to predict.So saying that United is good right now is true but also they could lose is once again true as well.

Talking about Manchester United, actually every season the squad they have never lacks good players, but for some reason the players can't show their best abilities.
I think this has something to do with the strategy that is applied, maybe it's not suitable for the Manchester United players so they can't show their best performance.
Jagiellonia Białystok 1 vs 4 Ajax Amsterdam
Seems easily for Ajax Amsterdam get qualify to UEFA Europe League season 2024/25 after securing the first leg match result above three margin goals and being draw or loss under two goals on second leg will get one ticket for next season.
Not get difficult match for Ajax Amsterdam against Polish Professional club after success bigger winning score over 1-4. Chuba Akpom made brilliant performance after success making hattrick and Jagiellonia Białystok just have one capital goals for second leg match will away to Ajax Amsterdam.
The second leg match will play on Friday 30 August and Ajax Amsterdam seems easily for securing the winning aggregate goal, seems being draw is more enough although Ajax won't get loss and give the winning result when playing in front of their fans.

I think this is one of the perfect results from all the matches presented last night and Ajax looks increasingly confident to get through this phase without any problems. They silenced the hosts with a non-stop rain of goals and honestly Jagiellonia is not at the level to be able to stop the creativity of Ajax's attacks.
Chuba Akpom will be the star of this competition and the hat-trick he scored could have a good impact on the continuation of his career. Maybe he is not a young player but he is old enough to be in one of the biggest European competitions and I hope his consistency in scoring winning goals for Ajax will continue. The second leg might be the safest place for Ajax but I think a draw is still quite doubtful and at least Ajax must win again even if only by a score of 1-0.

Beşiktaş drew 3-3 with Lugano tonight. I thought Beşiktaş would win this match but it didn't happen.
Beşiktaş played badly tonight, they conceded wrong goals.
Rafa Silva played well again but they couldn't win because they conceded very easy goals.
I hope Beşiktaş wins next week.
Listen, 3-3? Against Lugano? Not quite the kind of start Beşiktaş enthusiasts had in mind. Defense wins titles, and yesterday night's back line looked like Swiss cheese. In Europe, you cannot give up easily achievable goals like that. Rafa Silva, he's a star, no doubt about it, but soccer's a team sport. One man cannot carry the whole squad, particularly if the defense is handing candy on Halloween.Beşiktaş played badly tonight, they conceded wrong goals.

They had to organize for the second leg. Lugano proved they have some bite and would be arriving hungry. Lugano may easily grab this one if Beşiktaş doesnt tidy their act. And believe me, early Europa League exit? That is not the way you bring Beşiktaş great once more.
Chelsea secured an impressive 2-0 win over Servette in the Europa Conference League. The game saw a strong attack between the two teams before half time when the game was tied. But after halftime, Chelsea team played superbly and with strong attack they scored the opposition team ahead. As Chelsea is a strong team, they played aggressive game against the opposition which led to victory. Anyway this match saw Chelsea team play their best before we saw them lose earlier in the season but this match they got a great win.
Europa League play-off round has started today and we can see how each team competes for the first leg match which has started to show competitive competition, each of them is fighting to be able to qualify from this round.
I see good opportunities for some of the top team, but I only interested in seeing how the 3 team that I have been monitoring from the beginning when they went through the qualifying round.
In this first leg I took PAOK with under 2.75 over Shamrock Rovers and win for Maccabi and Braga, there is also Besiktas who played in this play-off round against Lugano but I don't dare to take the risk because Lugano is also strong team.
Congratulations on your win and it was a good bet with quite big odds, I also bet on this Europa League play-off match I only took some clubs that were familiar in previous matches during the Champions League qualifiers and in the previous rounds in the Europa League such as the Rigas vs APOEL match, Molde vs Elfsborg, Ludogorets vs Petrocup and Jagiellonia vs Ajax with the options below and all according to predictions.I see good opportunities for some of the top team, but I only interested in seeing how the 3 team that I have been monitoring from the beginning when they went through the qualifying round.

I wanted to add some other clubs like Besiktas and Braga but seeing their opponents I was a little hesitant to be honest I don't fully know the performance of their opponents if they play against clubs like Besiktas and Braga in the previous round they also looked strong so I better avoid them.
The last round before league phase is going to start tomorrow with the first leg games. I have prepared a betslip like this:
I believe Beşiktaş aren't going to lose in this game. I can't be sure about them to win though. They are actually playing great in their domestic league now. But when it comes to European tournament, Turkish teams can be unpredictable. I know Ajax haven't started well. But I think Jagiellonia is an easier opponent than Panathinaikos. This is why I believe Ajax will win in both legs.
Lastly I see Molde as an absolute favourite. I don't think Elfsborg can do much away. Molde would play for finishing the job early.
Perhaps I just agree that Ajax has good chances to win, I won’t say that I do not agree in the rest of the match, but I definitely have doubts. Lugano played very not badly with Fenerbahch and they were very good in the attack, so maybe I would better pay attention to total in this match than tried to determine the winner, but Besiktash will definitely try not to lose away. Molde - Elfsborg is also a difficult match, it seems that guests in recent matches do not look bad. I think that Braga should also beat SK Rapid.I believe Beşiktaş aren't going to lose in this game.

From several bets I chose only the Braga - Rapid Wien match because in any case Rapid Wien cannot be underestimated because the journey since the previous round Rapid Wien has always gotten very good results and I am worried if the match ends in a draw.
What do you think, is it possible that the Braga match will end in a draw?

I warned about that in a previous post that I wrote yesterday in the previous page of this topic. The odds weren't reassuring, Turkish teams didn't start well the season and many mistakes by made by Galatasaray and here is Beşiktaş result which isn't good. They still have a chance to pass of course but could we trust them reaching finals?

I was also thinking that Besiktas would win because they are one of the strong teams in the Turkish league but they made a lot of mistakes in this match against Lugano of Switzerland, just hope they don't make same mistakes when they meet again in the returning leg if not with what they displayed in tonight's game it is not encouraging at all so they need to do better in their returning match if not Lugano will win them. Rafa Silva is a nice player and he played so well but his team couldn't get the win. A draw isn't also a bad result yet as the both teams really scored lots of goals in this 6 goals thriller match. Beşiktaş played badly tonight, they conceded wrong goals.
Rafa Silva played well again but they couldn't win because they conceded very easy goals.
I hope Beşiktaş wins next week.
Beşiktaş started the game well and played as if it were playing on its own field. He stepped on the opponent ahead. Rafa Silva was in form as usual. Gedson Fernandes became the star of his team with 2 goals. The match ended with the score 3-3, but I think Beşiktaş got the advantageous score and will pass the round in Istanbul.
Lugano could not play effective football. Beşiktaş has been in great form lately and in the rematch next week, Beşiktaş will easily beat Team Lugano.

What a game it has been until now! Lugano and Beşiktaş both have been showing their best and the score is 3-3. 
It is not the kind of a score that I imagined of course.
I thought Beşiktaş would be more dominant. While not having problems on scoring, they haven't been able to defend better either. They couldn't maintain a 3-1 score advantage. Most probably Beşiktaş will finish the job at home stadium next time. But there is a clear truth like they need to improve their defending. Otherwise league phase is likely to be difficult for them. I wouldn't like to see a Turkish team being eliminated there already.

It seems like Lugano Team's core is cut off from Turkish Teams. He played against Fenerbahçe in the Champions League qualifying round and was eliminated. They also played against Beşiktaş in the Europa League Play Off. The first half of the match is now being played and the score is 1-1. Beşiktaş took the lead with Gedson Fernandes in the 21st minute, but the home team scored the equalizer with Bislimi in the 34th minute.
As a team, Beşiktaş is a better team than Lugano. Beşiktaş eliminates Lugano and advances to the Europa League Groups.

There is still time for the match to end. Therefore, it may not be right to talk too early. Beşiktaş is normally a team that can score more goals or beat this team much easier. But we saw what Galatasaray went through in the last match, they lost a match they could have easily won. That's why Beşiktaş also needs to be cautious. They are in a better position in the match now, but there is still half an hour left.
The goals continue to be scored one after the other, it's a good match
Some results of the matches in the Europa League qualifying round tonight and perhaps the most surprising thing is the defeat of Apoel and Molde. Shouldn't Apoel be stronger than RFS? but as we see they had to submit to the host with a narrow score of 0-1. On the other hand, Molde, which we usually know is quite promising, actually fell in front of its fans with the same score.
The second leg for both teams seems to be quite difficult if they have to play away or at home considering that the non-seeded teams will try to maintain their aggregate difference in this first leg. However, if Apoel and Molde are able to make a comeback that is difficult to overcome, of course the results of this first leg will be in vain. For Plzen I think they deserve to win and for Lask vs FSCB both teams are good only ending in a draw.
