Basically bigger teams are teams that should have been in UCL but failed to get there, so they are forced to be here instead, and players there do not care about it as much. Like last year with Liverpool, they were basically leading the league before they got out of Europa, if you go back and check the dates, when they lost to Atalanta, they were leading premier league and then after the loss everything fell a part for them and they started to be terrible and lost the league as well.

The main reason why they lost to Atalanta wasn't because they were bad, but because they didn't see Atalanta as a good opponent and they just played not as well as they could. This means bigger teams have problems of underestimating their opponents quite frequently here. Even in UCL, there are many times we saw smaller teams win, and that is because bigger teams just underestimate their opponents. These are tough competitions, nobody should be underestimated at all.

A funny paradox: big clubs generally do not win the Europa League title, so we must draw some conclusion from this... There are two choices: either big clubs treat this competition as secondary, or big clubs are actually weaker than the underdogs on average. The first option seems logical to me, but the second does not. The fact that big clubs have no motivation to try hard in the Europa League is a problem (for the organizers), but their lesser participation in this tournament still lowers the prestige of this competition.

In the first half Beşiktaş was far from productive, but the situation was reversed in the second half. We watched Beşiktaş finding many positions, shooting and scoring 2 goals. They could have scored more goals. Semih, Svensson, Rafa were good. Muçi tried a lot and finally scored. Muçi has 3 goals in the last 3 games. He can score more, he just needs to play a bit smarter and make the right choices. Man of the match was definitely Svensson. He had a very good game with both his defensive moves and his assist. Beşiktaş took a serious step towards the Top 24 with this result. I'm sure they'll be in the play-off stage and have a fairly good chance to go to round of 16.

If you should look at their previous meetings which is a very good factor that we can use to predict this match though not accurately but to our best of knowledge, in their last 4 meetings of both teams, Malmo secure a win in 3 of the matches, besiktas manage to win 1,  today both team are locking it down in besiktas home, the odd is not really a criteria for me because malmo is not doing bad in their club side, they are occupying the first position in their league standings having played 29 matches so far, they won 18, lose 3 with 8 draws, they have gotten 62points but a difference of 8 points clear from the second position occupiers of the league table which is hammarby, though they lost their last UEFA Europa match to olympiacos piraeus in their home on a 0:1 victory against them, today game wouldnt be a work over for besiktas because Malmo Wouldn't want to be defeated easily and beside they got a history to defend here which may stand as a stumblimg block for besiktas to override them.

Bookies odd and home advantage doesn't count much again in the game of soccer, what actually counts is what the team has to offer, odds ometimes stands as a deceit to bettors, for me it would have been better for us to make our predictions with history that exist between both teams and the present performance of both teams, though besiktas is likely the favourite team in this match but it may not be easy as the bookies thinks.

Beşiktaş have lost their last two matches in the Turkish League, and at this stage, they need a huge miracle to become champion. In the Europa League, however, they had a crucial win in Lyon in their last match and aim to keep their chances by beating Malmö at home. Since Beşiktaş has a far stronger squad, they will beat Malmö quite easily tonight.

On the one hand, it may seem easier for other teams to compete in the European League this season, the reason why we can say that Liverpool or Leverkusen are not two teams this season because these two teams have qualified for the Champions League due to their excellent performance last season. Liverpool is doing great in European League and English Premier League this season which is why if Liverpool were in Europa League this season then Liverpool would definitely be a headache for all other teams. However, even if Manchester United is a big team, their performance is not like winning the title this season, so if other teams can perform a little better from their respective places, then they can definitely make a good result of winning the title in the European League.

The way they are perform and the way they are in matches they will win this UEFA cup with any hope.  Although I used to favor Manchester United, their current poor perform and record has weak them. I don't give importance to the coach because Manchester United can play this game, any weakest coach can tell them how to play because of which they can be smart and strong.  But it also involves the hard work of the player who are not using it.

We are also wait for them to come soon and play good matches to see us because other teams like Manchester United are not make us happy by watch them play poorly. It is an improvement because they must have thought about it. That why they are take so much time but I do not think anyone else should do it. It will be difficult because it is not a quick job but they will try to fix it as soon as possible.

If we look at the odds then Besiktas has a very big chance of winning this match, but if we re-analyze Besiktas who have never won in their last two matches so it is very difficult for me to decide whether they will win at home I am not sure so I will not bet on this match because it is possible that Malmo could make something surprising for the Turkish representative in fact currently they also have the same points which is 3 points from 3 matches so of course this match will be fierce and I will try to give advice to play at Btts because in my opinion what will happen is a score of 1-1 or 2-1 a narrow victory for Besiktas.

I don't think so, because every time big teams are in the Europa League, they have a hard time winning the title. I don't know if it's because they're not serious about winning or if there's something else, but what's clear is that in several seasons no big names (like the teams you mentioned) have been able to win the Europa League title, even though they're in this competition.
Now for the competition itself, I think I also agree with what was said. This season is the first season we won't see a team that was relegated from the Champions League here. Usually we'll see 8 teams fighting for a ticket to the last 16, (8 teams from 3rd place in the Champions League), this season we won't see that.

Beşiktaş will face Malmö tonight, I don't think it will be an easy match for Beşiktaş, I think both teams will score easily. There will be over 2.5 goals in this match. Normally Beşiktaş should win easily but I think they haven't been playing well lately.

If it was true, then, why did Arsenal, Manchester United, and Liverpool always fail to win the Europa League last seasons? I think it's not completely true to call winning the Europa League easier than getting into the top 5 of EPL. It seems to me you're underestimating the teams in the Europa league.

I believe the Europa League is being counted as a major trophy. It's less popular than the Champions League. It offers a small reward. If it had a big prize like the UCL, top clubs would want to play in it.

Besiktas has only won 1 match in the European league, so it is very important for them to take advantage of the match against malmo later to get 3 points, with one win from 3 matches that have been played of course their position is very bad to be able to Qualify for the next round, besides that I think facing malmo should be the beginning of their revival after consecutive defeats in the league, especially playing at home with the full support of the fans can be a great motivation for them later, as you say, besiktas may have a better chance of winning the match, but I think although malmo may have higher odds, but they could surprise in that the match, malmo have a solid defence and effective counter atacks, so it is possible that they can also get points in the match later.

After the coach change we have seen a positive change in the overall performance of Manchester United. Manchester United have managed to perform well against Leicester City and Chelsea in the last two matches. If the players can maintain this consistency and the players are confident then it is expected that Manchester United will be able to perform well in the Europa League as well.

Manchester United can't win a single match in Europe League yet. They have drawn in all three matches. Manchester United failed to win even though the opposition was not too tough. However, I hope that the players of Manchester United will not make any mistakes against PAOK in the next match of the Europa League. The POAK team is also relatively weak. Also this match is Manchester United's home match. I am quite optimistic that Manchester United will win this match and get back on track. In the upcoming matches we will see better gameplay from United's boys.

The champions league and the top 4 of the premier league will always be bigger than the Europa league. When big teams are in the competition, they go on to win. Chelsea has been in the competition twice and they won it. Manchester United would have allowed Chelsea play the competition and it would have been won not what they're doing disgracing the premier league over there but there's a good news as the new manager coming is looking like someone that knows what he's doing. He just beat Manchester city yesterday but he'll be coming to join a different squad of players and I hope he can work with them, the same way he was working with the sporting players to win.

Now we are in a new format, no more teams from UCL are going down to Europa League as it was in the previous format for the third placed teams in the group. UCL clubs finishing 1-8th in the League Phase standings automatically qualify for the round of 16, teams ranked 9-24 will compete for the remaining eight places to the round of 16 in two-legged knock-out playoffs, while teams finishing 25th or lower will be eliminated, with no access to the Europa League.
Starting this season we will no longer see teams from the UCL going down to the Europa League.

There was interesting fact about Amorim because yesterday Amorim has just humiliate Manchester United rival in Champion league that playing at home for 4th match Amorim can successfully to beat Manchester City and this is his last home match for Sporting and it could be a sweet farewell for him and this makes me starting to thinking that probably Amorim is the right manager of Manchester United and probably too he can makes Manchester United to performing well again and regarding their chances for Europa League title i think Manchester United will not won it but i think Amorim shouldn't be worried about that because Manchester United president didn't targetting the trophy from this competition

That will be a big challenge for a new coach who comes to a club that is experiencing a decline and maybe the arrival of a new Manchester United coach will be much better or even worse than the previous coach. No one can be sure, but with a new coach it can increase the players' confidence a little because previously they were in a less than good season with the previous coach.

There are still many matches that need to be played so that Manchester United can advance to the next round and this challenge is what Ruben needs to answer so that he can answer the expectations as many fans hope.

Maybe some people still do not understand the new rules set by UEFA even though the format has changed they still assume that the eliminated clubs will go down to the Europa League like the 3rd place team in the previous season's group phase. From this season onwards no teams will go down to the Europa League from the Champions League and also no clubs will go down to the Europa League conference from the Europa League competition so tight competition occurs in each tournament they play at the beginning of this season if they cannot pass the knockout round in the 9-24th rank to enter the last 16 then they will be eliminated along with the teams ranked 25-36.

Opening match of the Europa League for the 4th schedule will take place today between Besiktas vs Malmo and this match takes place at Tupras Stadyumu which is Besiktas home ground so there are several advantages that Besiktas has to be able to win and get 3 points in full.
With the victory later they can also improve their ranking and I just saw the odds given by the bookie which shows Besiktas has @1.64 and Malmo has @5.00, Besiktas is favorite I will take them for today bet.

Isn't the new format for the Champions League and Europa League this season different from last season's format where every team that fails in the Champions League will not go down to the Europa League again this season? Try to see the new format for the Champions League and Europa League this season so that you don't misunderstand and can find out about the differences that have occurred this season compared to last season. Because for those who are in 25th place and so on will automatically be eliminated and no longer play in other European competitions such as the UEL.
