As far i know Ivan Juric is experience manager and train Serie A team is not new for him because previously Ivan Juric has been train the teams such as Genoa, Verona and the latest is Torino and with Torino i have to says he was successfully to lifted the performance of this team and if i am not mistaken on season 2021/2022 Ivan Juric can bringing Torino to finish at 10th place in Serie A which this is one of the best position for Torino during their participant in Serie A

But for the trophies Ivan Juric so far never gets any trophies and the match against Bilbao will be so difficult for Roma because i am sure they will required time to adapt with new manager Ivan Juric but because this is their home match then i am sure Roma will be attempts to gets the winning results but Roma has poor records while against the teams from Spain and the latest is Roma lost from Sevilla at the final match of Europa League on season 2023/2024

Galatasaray had to suffer quite a painful fate this season after being eliminated from the Champions League qualifiers and ending up in the Europa League, the defeat to a team like YoungBoy proves that there is still  have a chance for Paok will also beat Galatasaray in the first match of the Europa League later, but even so, Galatasaray are the favorite team in the next match and I think they will most likely dominate the game later considering the quality of the squad they have is still more both of those owned by Paok, Osimhen has officially become a Galatasaray player on loan but strangely after his introduced to the public , Osimhen has not been played by Galatasaray and I dont know the reason?

Before facing Paok in the Europa League, Galatasaray has a difficult match that they have to play tomorrow, the derby match against Fenerbache will be a match that will test their mentality and I think in the match against Fenerbache maybe they will be play osimhen later, if against Fenerbache it will be a debut match then most likely they will also play osimhen when they face Paok in the Europa League to increase their chances of victory in the match.

This season I haven't really followed the development of the Europa Conference League and I just opened it and saw that the Conference League has 6 matches to complete for positions for the top 8 team who want to go straight into the last 16 because for the 9th to 24th rank must go through the play-offs as the determinant of the remaining 8 team who will enter the last 16, this is the same as the Europa League and UCL.
However, it cannot be denied that the advantages of the new format with more matches will allow each team to make more profits and there are many positive impacts even though some consider it bad format.

For the first Europa League match will start in the next 4 days, the first match brings together AZ Alkmaar against IF Elfsborg and AZ Alkmaar who is one of the strongest team in the Dutch League and they have the advantage of playing at home, I think AZ Alkmaar can win this match.

Yes on paper Galatasary looks favourites to win but it won't be an easy match as PAOK are in form. From the last 5 games, PAOK are in a better form but we have to consider the strength of the both leagues. Both league aren't among the top leagues as Super League Greece isn't a better league to have better teams to be playing against. Galatasaray are playing in a better league and also are 1st on the table. Victor Osimhen doesn't have to play for Galatasary to win, he didn't play in the last game that Galatasary had and they won. The coach might be resting Victor Osimhen for this game. Galatasary have a match today and I want to see if they'll play Victor Osimhen or rest him again.

In such tournaments, every team should be considered as a tough opponent, no matter how small. The teams that were usually placed first in the list of favorites last season did not do well, but the teams that were not discussed did well at the end. This season, some teams including Manchester United are being kept in the list of favorites considering the performance and past statistics, but those who do well on the field will have a chance to achieve something good in such a tournament. Manchester United haven't been performing too well recently so I don't have high hopes for this team but I would put Tottenham and Galatasaray slightly ahead of the other teams you mentioned.

From the several names of clubs, it should be, some famous clubs from the premier league will dominate the match. It should be, this is the norm, it should be, like;
- Athletic Club
- Man United
- Ajax
- Einthract Frankfurt
- Lazio
- Porto
- Tottenham
- Roma

Ah it should be, this season, at least it will belong to Tottenham or Athletic Club. If Man United, ah, I'm afraid I expect too much. 

Leverkusen was good both in their domestic league and in the Europa last season, there was never a point where it turned out they weren't good enough but the one rime mistake they did in the Europa cost them all they had toiled for all through the season, Atlanta so far in the champion's league isn't doing bad as an Europa champion that they are, actually for every new season, almost every team comes up with a new strategy with which they use to get the kind of results they wish to get but if a particular pattern worked last season and they believe it's a sustainable one, they they can go ahead with it in the new seasons, but what we shouldn't be expecting is the repetition of exact same patterns especially with results, patterns of results may not occur exact same way it did last season, because definitely they aren't robots but a particular champion can maintain the title but this time europa champions may not be ab to do that except if they get relegated back again.

Before the Atalanta and Arsenal game I had already staked Atalanta double chance which gave me 2odd the reason is because after their performance during the Europa League competition finals last season against Bayer Leverkusen, I stopped underestimating them because they surprised everyone so seeing them with the odd of 4.8 against Arsenal at home I knew that they can not be defeated in their home ground.The first half of the game was very boring because the teams were playing with a lot of carefulness I believe that was the main reason why they couldn't make any attempts but on getting to the second half their was a great change which led to. the penalty that was awarded to Atalanta M Retegui failed to convert the penalty kick that would have given his team the lead against Arsenal.

The first round of the Europa League will be played next week and yes, I personally find it more difficult to make a choice in this Europa League and maybe only a few seeded teams like Manchester United will play against Twente and Tottenham will play against Qarabag. Although indeed,  there are still other exciting matches such as AS Roma v Bilbao, Ajax v Besiktas, Nice v Real Sociedad and there are still several matches that seem interesting to bet on.

But, at least I personally am pessimistic about AS Roma who just fired De Rossi and appointed Ivan Juric who I also think, it seems like Ivan Juric does not have great achievements in his coaching career. Thus, even though AS Roma will play at home against Bilbao, but it seems I will be  more  confident in Bilbao but indeed, at least AS Roma still has a chance to get a draw.

Yesterday match between Atalanta and Arsenal was almost same possessions as the Man City and Inter Milan on Wednesday where they all had hard lucks to score goals despites the opportunities.

A fan said it was just like a childs play as there was no single shot on target all through the first half of the Arsenal and Atalanta yesterday but though they still played interestingly while Atalanta's defence formations was so tight to be penetrated.

I think Mateo Retegui was too eager to play the penalty and there was this shivering inside of him leading to why he missed the penalty.

Honestly, I personally would avoid betting on Manchester United, because as you said we never know when they will play very well and when they will play badly. Their consistency is still very questionable in the last few seasons. Even when facing clubs that are considered weak, they will struggle and experience defeat. I have repeatedly lost when betting on Manchester United, and what is more painful is when they thwart the victory in the multi bets that I made. From there, I started to avoid betting on them and it is better for me to bet on other clubs that are more promising even though they are clubs that are not bigger than Manchester United. I don't know how long I will avoid them, but what is clear is that I am avoiding them right now.

MU's performance is still up and down, we will never know when they play very well and when they will play badly. in fact, they can win against Man City in the FA Cup final. but they were also destroyed by Crystal Palace last season.
betting on MU is very difficult with their unstable performance. it would be good if they could go further in the Europa League, but don't expect much and I won't bet on MU.

Yes, if we compare the strength of the two teams on paper, Galatasaray is far superior and can win this match, especially with the arrival of Osimhen who will further sharpen the attack line and will have a big impact to help his team, plus the advantage of playing in front of their own supporters, that is a good additional point to motivate players to perform well, but even so Paok was also the Greek league champion last season and this season they have never lost in their domestic league, in the match on Thursday it will certainly be difficult for Galatasaray to achieve positive results, because as you said this is about football, whoever is ready to give everything on the field is the winner. We'll see who wins later.

Manchester united hasn't shown any good quality that they are capable of winning Europa, only if they are faced with weak teams that they can easily win and reach the finals, maybe, there will be hope for them to win the finals by luck.

Apart from what I said above, I don't think that it will be possible for Manchester united to win Europa league because Ten Hag is unpredictable and might find it difficult to go far in the league. He has win it before and might have the experience and logic on how to win it again. However, don't be surprised to see a different club winning the league at the end.

Roma management repeating their mistakes which they have done in past and ruin the club's development with De Rossie surely deserve some more time, but they sacked him and bring a mediocre coach which is having not good past and most chances he can't bring positive results in near future as well because things are never been easy to handle club at this stage and bring quick better results specially while you are having the toughest challengers in UEFA Europa Cup title race.

With this change most chances they are not going to have better results because Roma is surely big club, and they needed good time for setting things which are surely not easy for the new coach.

We can't currently predict about any team with we are having just few rounds in domestic leagues and things are going not favourable to predict about who is going to be favourite for the title race Manchester United is surely good club, but their nature is not predictable and few other clubs are also having same issues into their domestic leagues which are making things difficult to talk about winner even few clubs are having enough sources to go through, but their priorities are also never been understandable with mostly clubs love to have better results in domestic league instead of having better result in UEFA Europa Cup.

Apart from these three teams, we also have many big names in the Europa League this season. The Europa League has many underrated teams and some of the other big names are Lyon, Lazio, Sociedad, Bilbao, Fenerbahce, Galatasaray and Twente. Roma, United and Tottenham are in poor form in the league. They still have a chance to qualify for the round of 16 although I have my doubts. There are many other top teams and I doubt these three teams will be able to enter the top 8. But I am sure they will qualify for the round of 16 through the playoffs. The competition has not started yet so we cannot see everyone's performance for now.

Even though those teams you mentioned haven't really done anything convincing in their domestic leagues but they can still do better in Europa league. Manchester United is one of the teams that also has a fair record in the Europa league so if Ten Haag can take the Europa league games seriously and ensure that they don't lose more matches than win. However, the bigger teams from top European leagues should make sure they improve in their performances because it will be bad if they don't advance after the group stage matches but I believe they will try their best.

The Turkish League is more highly rated than the Greek Super League. Hence, I will accept that Galatasaray shouldn't have much problem getting the three points. The Turkish club has not lost or drawn any match in five games meanwhile PAOK  have won all their games and drew one. The Greek side ended last season as Greek champions, so they shouldn't be underrated.   

Roma's new coach Ivan Juric, will be more concerned about winning the Seria A game with Udinese on Sunday. Winning that game will give them confidence in the Europa game against Athletic Club on Thursday. The sack of Daniele De Rossi has created a void in the team that should be filled immediately to allow Roma to put up a good performance in the Europa and the Italian League.   

Manchester United had a poor finish last season but it is certainly a positive that they have won two of their first four matches in the Premier League this season. Maybe the manager is under a lot of pressure because now everyone is criticizing this manager. If the manager takes the matter seriously and manages his team properly and if the team performs well then those who are criticizing this manager will praise this manager again. The question now is how Manchester United can perform in the Europa League. If they plan match by match it will be easier for them to do well in the Europa League. The tactics they play in the Premier League certainly cannot be played in the Europa League. If they can accept this then they are definitely welcome in the Europa League and they can do well in this league.

AS Roma just parted ways with their coach and now they will work with a new coach who in my opinion is a less successful coach, so I am not too sure about the new AS Roma coach.
Manchester United is an inconsistent team, several times they showed their weaknesses, yes they are good in the game and for the next game they can't show anything good. Some people say that the main problem lies with the coach, and I am one of those who think like that.
Tottenham is a good team, but they are not a champion team. I mean they are just good but not strong enough to win the title. I don't think they are bad, but that's what I see from them in all competitions, especially in the English league.
