It is not really surprising that Lazio performed well in Serie A, they often finished the season in the top 5. But in UEL, it is surprising to see a perfect performance of Lazio. They always won the match until now, they have 100% win record. Sure, they deserve to be the candidate of UEL champion this season. If they can keep good performance in the next matches, surely they will reach the final round. However, it won't be easy because there are also many other strong teams in UEL. Galatasaray, Ajax, Frankfurt, Anderlecht, Athletic Club, and Tottenham also have the same chance to win UEL trophy. This will be more interesting when UEL begins the knock out phase. Well, I hope Lazio won't make us disappointed, I personally want to see Lazio go far in UEL this season.

I would say even if Tottenham and Manchester United are strong contenders for this year Europa league, it will be unwise to neglect other teams like Lazio, Athletic Bilbao, and Galatasaray. Despite the fact that the two English teams are the favourites on paper that doesn't mean that the trophy is guaranteed to either of them. Manchester United have been inconsistent this season. I think Manchester United could be one of the strongest candidate for the title because the Europa trophy is their only realistic chance at silverware this season.

This season can still be changed, it just depends on the ability of management in managing players because the question is whether Manchester United can now improve their performance, especially for the Europa League.

Their current condition is still a little doubtful but that does not mean this season is a failure especially since we are not even halfway through the season so the opportunity is still very large to develop their current performance.
When compared to some other clubs in the Europa League, of course the majority of their players are still superior, it's just that the poor attacking schemes and internal problems they have are still very disturbing for now so this must be fixed immediately by Amorim so that this season Manchester United is not down in terms of performance or at least not worse than the Ten Hag era some time ago.

I am quite surprised that Spurs are the most favored in this competition, considering their odds are the most favored to become Europa League champions. In fact, United is also included in the table list above. For Spurs I have no doubts, because after all they are a tough team in the Premier League. As for Manchester United, I do not expect anything even though they are now handled by Amorim. The reason is, we cannot be sure of Amorim's performance in handling Manchester United. However, United seems to have hope of qualifying for the next round considering that their opponent is not a very strong team if we talk about the depth of the team's squad, that too on the condition that they must sweep the rest of their matches by winning. Whether they are able or not, we will find out as soon as possible. I also have the same thoughts or assumptions as you regarding teams outside the Premier League, such as Frankfurt and Galatasaray. These two teams may be able to surprise, especially Frankfurt, whose performance has improved again this season. They are also quite productive in terms of scoring goals, Frankfurt can be a threat to the teams that face them. As for Galatasaray, Osimhen adds sharpness to their front line. however, they must fix their defense line so that they do not concede easily. Of these 4 teams, it seems that Frankfurt can provide a surprise.

Ludogorets is not a strong team because even, until now, the fact that Ludogorets has also not won at all. From the four matches that Ludogorets has played so far, that Ludogorets has only one point and the other three matches are defeats. Compared to Lazio, who has perfect results so far by winning four wins from four matches that have been played, then of course Lazio will still succeed in getting the victory in the fifth match later. Because anyway, besides Lazio only playing against Ludogorets, but Lazio will also play at home and if Lazio does not underestimate the opposing team, then I'm sure this will be an easy victory for Lazio.

This season Lazio surprised us with their extraordinarily consistent performance, not only in Serie A, but they were also able to become a team that has a perfect win without a draw or losing in their 4 matches in the UEL at the moment, in my opinion, Lazio has a great chance to continue their dominance in the next match later, because the opponent they are facing is relatively not a strong team so far in the UEL, with consistent performance and the advantage of playing at home, of course, there is great potential for them to continue the unbeaten trend in  fase semi league, if you look at Lazio performance and consistency, they seem to be worthy of our favorite as one of the candidates for the UEL championship this season.

Having dropped points in most of the matches in the early competition, the fight to reach the Super Sixteen has now become a tougher affair for Manchester United. The equation now stands as Manchester United must win most of the matches if they want to qualify for the next round. There is no change in the team except for the manager, so it will be difficult for Manchester United to take the field against different clubs with this team but to get full points in all the matches. But Manchester United will have to try and if they fail to qualify for the next round despite performing at their best, they can console themselves that they didn't lack for effort in the end.  

Manchester United have not been doing very well this season so our expectations should be high for this team next season.

Lazio is the only team with a perfect win until the 4th match of the Europa League this season, they are leading with 12 points. Of course it is still too early to say something good for Lazio, because in the standings they are not necessarily that smooth, because there are still 4 matches that they will play which could change their position in the standings.
They started well in the Europa League, so they have to make sure that they can be consistent enough to continue what they have built from the beginning. High confidence must be owned by Lazio now, but I hope that does not make them forget that they also still have to maintain it until the competition ends.

Of the 4 remaining matches, I think Man United is quite advantaged to face 4 clubs that are not too favored in the Europa League, Manchester United must beat them all to get a place in the last 16, with Amorim's previous knowledge when coaching Sporting, hopefully Ruben Amorim can make Man United appear solid in the Europa League so that they are no longer underestimated as a top club, Manchester United has lost its glory days for quite a long time and it's time for them to return under a new manager.

It's too early to talking about the championship because League phase hasn't finished yet but so far until week 4 Lazio has done well and we can see it that Lazio is the only team who can gets 4 winning streak which this achievement makes them deserved to occupy first place on League phase and for upcoming match against Ludogorets i am sure Lazio will utilize this match to extended their winning streak records in this competition and if Lazio can win from this match they will collect 15 points which their chances to qualified to the next round will be wide open and on the paper this should be an easy match for them but for betting options the bookies provide low odds for Lazio approximatelly @1.28

sir Alex fargosen has done his path, jose Mourinho has done his path and these new coaches that took over after those era has tried in the little way they felt was possible but its just unfortunate that things hasn't been normal again after the past era when Manchester united where the pride of English football. sometimes its as though its an issue past vs present players or the inability of the coach to handle these players that's now the cause of these poor results in the team.

with expectation already high for Amorim to deliver Manchester united from this mess, the pressure is high but the players have already united well with him in preparation for the ipwitch game. its about understanding and having a joint will to make an impact in the team and certainly he might not perform below expectation. we will have to see how having a Portugal coach that's of the same nationality with the team captain will affect the camp and hopefully, Bruno Fernandes will work together with Amorim to give them some good result.

We need to see his strategy and coaching style because being at Manchester United is very different from when he was at Sporting Lisbon. Being a coach for a team like Manchester United is not easy because he is required to be able to perform much better than the previous coach. Talking about titles in his first season seems like it will be much more difficult because he needs to build a team to be more solid and be able to understand the style of play that he is implementing. Let him work and we will see how his ability is in changing Manchester United to be better or getting worse in the future.

I totally agree with you on that. Sir it Alex Ferguson’s legacy at Manchester United is written in stone. Alex Ferguson transformed Manchester United into an elite club during his reign, he won many titles and set records in Manchester United. There hasn’t been another manager that has been able to at least stay in the club for as long as Alex Ferguson. We will be looking at Ruben Amorim to see if he will be able to transform United into champions.

There are still about 7 days to start the 5th Europa League match and so far Lazio is still the best team with win in all 4 match they have played and in the 5th match Lazio will face Ludogorets one of the bottom team.
In this match Lazio is the favorite and they play at home so it will provide more guarantees to win again and stay at the top of the standings comfortably, maybe this season in the Europa League competition can be good opportunity for Lazio to compete for the championship title.

It might not be easy for him to settle down at Manchester United in his first few weeks at the club, but that doesn't mean he won’t be able to achieve significant success this season. Amorim is a good coach with good tactical flexibility, it’s his job to adapt and bring out the best in his players. His success at Sporting CP where he demonstrated exceptional management sills, gives me the confident that he can perform even more better in England especially at a club with resources like Manchester United.

It is not a coincidence that Manchester United keep their calling in peoples prediction about who will win the Europa League. If not for the poor performance of Manchester United for few seasons now, Manchester United is not actually an Europa club. It is a Champions League club and as well should be projected to be the favorite to win the Europa League.
Now that they have a new coach in the person of Amorim, let me see how they are performance in the English Premier League will be. That will be a great determinant of what is going to happen in the Europa League. Why I strongly tip Manchester United and Tottenham, other teams that are not English teams are not also exempted. Teams like;
Frankfurt;
Galatasary
Lazio,
Ajax

The teams in the top 8 of the standings will continue to compete tightly to get tickets to the top 8. This season, many teams have performed quite well besides Lazio, Ajax, and Galatasaray. Eintracht Frankfurt, RSC Anderlecht, and Athletic Bilbao have also performed quite consistently this season.

And regarding Tottenham Spurs, they have recently experienced quite serious problems, namely the absence of several key players, and this is also what made Tottenham perform badly and experience several defeats. If this is not immediately fixed, it might be quite difficult for Tottenham to win the title this season. Meanwhile, for Manchester United, we don't really know what kind of changes their new coach Ruben Amorin has brought. Yesterday in the hands of Ruud Man United performed quite well, so with the arrival of Amorin, MU should be better. We don't know what kind of changes Amorin has brought, if the changes are good with positive results, then the Red Devils will return to win the title this season.

On the other hand it could be the players are more comfortable around their interim coach who has handed over to the new boss and that explains why everything was different under their former boss. My expectations would bother around the players quickly getting along with their new coach and been able to get them to winning ways  such that they can restore the lost glory. But this doesn't mean I'm having some unrealistic expectations from Manchester United, most of all is for them to get better and have a better squad than they have had all along and hopefully they get to win the league title subsequently.

Since last week we only discussed Man United, while we were not aware that there were some teams that had a greater opportunity to get a degree at the UEL.
We see from the odds given by bookmakers, it seems that Spurs have a great chance to succeed in getting a trophy and Man United to be the second team that has the opportunity to get a degree.
On the one hand Lazio, Ajax and Galatasaray actually have a much better appearance at this time.
Then do you think Spurs and Man United will really be the strongest candidate in this competition?

Manchester United needed a rebuild one way or another and at the very least a new coach. The most logical thing was to put a permanent assistant to Ten Hag, who stayed at the club and even played matches as head coach and did well. But if the management decided to change the coach, so be it, they found someone who can respond quickly. I don't expect great things from them this season either, let alone a good Europa League game, but I think we can say for sure about their performance and progress already at the end of the season
