PAOK is surely having well squad, and they are currently having unbeaten run in Greek Super League with things are going to be interesting for the both clubs when we have them on face to face even due to home advantage Galatasaray is having good chance of win in this game, but this is going to be good game between these two clubs and Galatasaray is surely looking for better results after the arrival of Victor Osimhen because now they are having strong attack and their defense is also doing good job in last few games.

As odds are going, and we are having Galatasaray in last few games I am also optimistic about this game and looking forward how Turkish clubs are now heading for the European challenges because in recent time we are having good hype about their performance in European events even results are not as par we were expecting from them.

Knowing that Manchester united drew their last Premier League game against Crystal Palace, would be another motivational factor for Man Utd to try to win this very matche against Twente in this league phase of the Europa Cup competition. Also, I'm believing and having hope that the 3 point will be theirs, I  do see Manchester united having a better opportunity here in Europa League and going through to the final stage to compare their chances in the premier league games.

More often than not, Biggest teams are the ones that go on to conquer Europe. Smaller teams try but it's not so often compared to much more bigger teams. For example, Madrid's UCL dominance and the lack of trophies won by small clubs in UCL and UEL (if we count out Sevilla and Atalanta as big teams haha). But like you, I'm skeptical about United. To win  the Europa league now, it's clear that you have to win all games.

Every
Single
Match.

Hope ETH won't mess up their game today. I won't bw touching it though.

I think I will take the risk on Galatasaray here. It's around @1.60 on BcGame.


As opposed to the 1.27 odds for Man United given their level of inconsistency.

It's not about being the biggest team, cause a club can be the biggest team in a tournament and still not win it, Liverpool was a prove last season, Manchester United have to show their class in the tournament they need to prove that they're not only the biggest team but they're capable of bringing the trophy home. They'll be facing an Eredivisie team (Twente) and it’s not supposed to be a very tough game for them but the thing about Manchester United this season is that they're playing good football but having ill luck in finding the back of the net, we saw that in their most recent game against Crystal Palace, they created good chances and dominated most of the game but couldn't convert any, I just hope they don't share same fate against Twente in today's game. I don't feel comfortable betting on Manchester United too, for some reasons but I'll try bet on them after I see the starting line-up and I'm comfortable with it cause Erik Ten Hag is a funny coach and might rotate his squad to something that could end up hunting them in that game. Well, he was a former Twente player and he made it clear to the public in an interview that he still supports and view their games so I think he should be able to figure out a tactics that would help his team defeat Twente easily but then he also said that playing against Twente would be very emotional so I wonder if he'll tell his players to go easy on them since he's a big fan and former player. However he should know that Manchester United fans won't tolerate another draw or a lose in that game and would drag him on the media if any occurs.

Galatasaray vs PAOK

Galatasaray starting lineup:
Guvenc; Ayhan, Sanchez, Bardakci, Jakobs; Torreira, Sara; Yilmaz, Mertens, Akgun; Osimhen

PAOK starting lineup:
Kotarski; Sastre, Colley, Kedziora, Baba; Camara, Schwab; Despodov, Murg, Taison; Tissoudali

This is their first meeting in this competition and i have to says both teams is in the good shape because they have good start at their domestic league but Galatasaray records a bit better compared to PAOK because they can gets 6 winning streak in Turkish league but PAOK still unbeated in the last 5 matches in Greek League so i have to says both teams is on fire

PAOK starting to playing at this competition since 2nd qualification stages and they were successfully to advances to the league phase after beat Shamrock Rovers with final aggregate 6-0 at play off matches so they are impressive but Galatasary is very strong at their home and i am sure they will be dominate this match moreover Galatasaray has Osimhen so he will make a different for this team so Galatasaray will win the match and the odds for Galatasaray is quite decent to bets @1.64

The match against twente will be their first match of the season in the europa league, twente is one of the big teams in the eredivisie and they were able to prove that they are consistent enough to be in the top standing of the eredivisie so far, but even so, of course the level owned by the English league and the eredivisie is much different so Manchester United should be able to win the match easily, the two teams had different results in their respective leagues last weekend but we cannot use this as a reference to see the possibility that Manchester United will lose the match later, Manchester United managed to dominate over Crystal Palace in the previous match but it is clear that the final finish is their problem, so if Ten Hag can immediately fix the problem of course their chances of winning over Twente are very large later.

Manchester United is going to play against Twente at the Old Trafford Stadium in their first match of the European League on the 26th. Considering the statistics and other aspects, Manchester United has to be ahead in this match, but how they will perform on the field is a big question. Manchester United have performed well in some matches in the English Premier League and some easy matches have gone against them, so if they don't play as planned in the Europa League opener, the result could go against them. Manchester United are not a consistent performance team and that is one of their biggest problems and even if the manager misplays the players, it will be difficult for them to get full points in this match.

On paper, the Ajax game is the most difficult game Beşiktaş will play in the Europa League. I don't know whether it is good or bad to start with the most difficult one, both as an opponent and because it is away game. After all, Beşiktaş has nothing to lose, so they will play bravely instead of playing cowardly. 1 point would be good, 3 points would be legendary, but if we lose, it's not the end of anything. Giovanni van Bronckhorst is undoubtedly the coach who knows Ajax the best, so that's another plus.

I also really want to hope so, Man United is a top club. But on the other hand, we have to be aware of the quality of Man United this time. Ah, not only that, but also their consistency is so bad. Even now I don't dare to bet on them in any match. Because sometimes they are: the difficult ones can win, the easy ones can lose. So it's very difficult to predict. Ahha

Manchester United is currently the biggest team in the Europa League right now — it's the same way Liverpool was the biggest team in the Europa League last season and I think we had a poll up for who would win the trophy and Liverpool came up along with Leverkusen. Neither of those teams would. I don't know if it's going to be the same outcome here but Manchester United inconsistent performances and  results might just be the reason they don't prpgress much in the tournament talk less about winning. If they deliver a performance close to that Barnsley game or something close to it every game, they will go far otherwise, nah.

You may as well not compare the Europa League competition with the league games, they’re totally different and if a team performs poorly in the league games that doesn’t mean they’ll do the same when playing in the Europa League also. These are just possibilities but anything can happen if they wish to show a better performance in the Europa league game which indeed requires extra effort than they put in the league games. The new format has already been an eye opener for all the teams involved, so they’ll definitely be at their best if they really want to finish on top of the high table standings by the end of round one. This competition this season is not for the weak team but the resilience teams.

In addition, it seems that PAOK is also not a team that always wins trophies in the Greek league, although last season PAOK managed to win the Greek league trophy and until this season PAOK has still managed to be consistent with good results. Thus, it will certainly be interesting for the match between Galatasaray v PAOK in the Europa League, because they seem to have a level that is not much different but indeed, I also admit that the Turkish league is still a more competitive league than the Greek league.

Maybe, with the slight difference and also considering that Galatasaray will play at home, it might also provide a good chance for Galatasaray to win in  their first match in the Europa League. Because the odds for Galatasaray are currently @ 1.65 and PAOK @ 5.00 and of course,  Galatasaray is clearly still very favored to win even though PAOK also still has a  good trend so far this season.

I knew the club will regret it for sacking Jose Mourinho and replaced with Daniele De Rossi because even though Jose Mourinho was not also performing well at that time but had it been they gave him more time, AS Roma would not have been going through what they are experiencing now and the fans has criticize the club's CEO Greek Lina Souloukou for sacking Jose Mourinho which has now led to his resignation. Roma sacking Daniele De Rossi and winning their match against Udinese doesn't really make any much difference to me except they experience a long time improvement before I can say that Daniele De Rossi was the problem they had but for now, I even foresee more crisis hitting the club soon because dismissing De Rossi and the CEO's resignation won't really go down well with the club but since the season is just in the early stages, they can probably get it off and get better.

Galatasaray should be the favorite in this matches even if we know that Turkish team do have poir performance in European competition. There are new players in Galatasaray that might motivate the okayers and make victory possible for them. Osimhen is also there as tgeir striker and I believe that he will want to put up his best performance for his club to go far and also for him to secure a big club that will sign him.

While I was looking for a match to bet on in the Urfa Europa League, the Nice-Real Sociedad match caught my eye.
Nice's form is not bad, especially since they scored 8 goals against St Etienne in their last match. However, before this match, there were many matches that ended in draws.
Real Sociedad is very out of form. I don't remember him having such a bad start to La Liga.
I think Nice will win the match in front of their home field and their fans, and I will take a risk in this direction and bet that Nice will win. I hope Nice doesn't disappoint me.

Also, the other match that caught my attention is the Galatasaray-Paok match. Galatasaray is the clear favorite in this match, but I do not think it will be such an easy match. Because Paok is a very high quality and strong team.

I also can't wait for this tight competition, Galatasaray is in form right now and are looking forward to winning this match while PAOK are strongly willed and energized to face any club right now including Galatasaray. Both clubs don't seem to do bad with their first eleven and both managers are also pulling the resources they have to win their games. Now we need to see who's more stronger. I have the feeling that Galatasaray will win the match but that's only based on the believe I have for the performance of the club.

I agree with you. No one doubts that Galatasaray will win the match. The win over Fenerbahce has given them the confidence to win the next match. On the other hand, PAOK is also impressive in the Greek League and they are still undefeated. Both teams are in their best form. But as you said, Galatasaray plays in the Turkish Super League and I think the Turkish league is more competitive than the Greek league. PAOK must play very disciplined so that they can at least secure a point even though it is something that is very difficult to get.

Galatasaray is definitely the favourites here, and all the odds are showing that as well. These will be the first games of the group stages and I think betting on the favourites is a simple and easy decision, while it is possible to lose because it's football and even Galatasaray just recently lost at UCL qualifiers to a team they were favourites to, so it's clear that this happens, underdogs could win, but on first weeks I think teams are more motivated and I think it could do fine.

I am going to play on a few games, all of which are favourites and I think stuff like Porto and Galatasaray and so forth should be easy to bet on for the time being. I know it is not going to be a win, but I do not have any clue how teams are looking for now, after a few games we will have idea which teams are underdogs but have momentum and which teams are dominant and which teams look favourites but plays terrible. That way we can change later on but for now just going with best odds.

I think Manchester United will dominate FC Twente in the Europa League game. The odds are favoring them to win the game. They are clearly far superior to their opponent. They're going to fight against Ten Hag's boyhood club.

It's a bit nostalgic for their coach considering they're gonna face Twente. And i fully trust them to take three points in their upcoming game. 1x2 United is very ez bet to win, but the odds are very small, not worth the risk.

I'd prefer to take Asian handicap home -1.75. It gives decent odds to bet. And it's a home game for them.

Galatasaray's chances are quite big and considering they are playing at home, it will be a better motivation for them to appear and secure full points, especially with Osimhen in the squad adding to the team's confidence.
on the other hand, Paok will certainly make it difficult for Galatasaray, their target is likely to steal points at RAMS Park later.
Regarding your bet, you can add AZ Alkmaar and Man United to the betting slip, both teams benefit from playing at home,
Hopefully you are lucky with the bet you make.
