in first set, it was all but enough for teams to have 2 goal difference
Dinamo is knocked out from Sparta, and Aris scored 6 goals against Slovan, who would see that coming


did you take it?

Hacken is up 0:2, but Aberdeen is coming back, just scored, they were down 2 goals in first match too, seems that they don't know how to play until conceive two goals

Ludogorets can't beat Ajax (I fell for that trap last time around) can they? One can argue the three-goal cushion could tempt players to dream complacently and maybe they lose? Nil-nil at half time, temptation to wait this out.


Strange odds. Since Monday when I first checked, it's been absolute even, and when I looked earlier today, pretty much the same situation. But now, after seeing your post, I see the odds have, indeed, tipped in Haecken's favour.

It's my pick actually, but I'm not feeling extra confident here as I'm sure that's just the odds adjusting to market demand. Money must be heavy on the away team.

Game's starting!

Corner kicks are an interesting option in matches like this I mean when both teams have the same chance to qualify battle of life and death it's just that the betting market doesn't provide attractive odds, available options over 10 odds x1.5  up to over 12 odds x2.3 even on stake.com I didn't find this betting option it may be available after the match started. Over 10 may still be reasonable but the risk is not worth the odds except for parlay bets can be considered, I will wait for the live match to ensure all markets are available.

Don't you think playing them corner over 8.5 is not safer than any other options available? Both team to score is realistic but I want to play safe. Not just this game, all the games today are decisive games and corners will be okey for me in all the games.

The home team should be the favorite here but if we look at the betting market they are more favorite Hacken to qualify and we don't know the reason. I'm not going to take any chances in this match I mean I'm going to ignore who will qualify but I'm interested in the both teams to score option I assume they will do it again like in the first leg because this match is very decisive so both teams will do everything they can. I am attaching a screenshot regarding which team is predicted to qualify, but this is only the bookies prediction we can believe it and we can ignore it.

Probably most interesting game today is Aberdeen - Hacken, first leg ended 2:2, as in most other pairs leading teams have at least 2 goals advantage. It looks like on of these 50/50 games, but I'm going with Aberdeen to qualify. Saw few their games, they're looking solid, while I don't trust Scottish club in Europe, remember Rangers performance yesterday. Also, going with Olympiacos and Qarabag ML today.
I skip betting on Sheriff - Klaksvik game. Logic says that Sheriff should win, but I don't want to write-off Klaksvik.

It's actually quite rare case when almost all favorites win their games. As you said, probably only Hacken - Aberdeen game ended a bit unexpected and that Hacken wasted 2 goals lead. But from all results, I think that only Ajax is already 99% in next round.
Wouldn't be so confident about Sheriff, after all Klaksvik already eliminated few teams that is bigger than Sheriff.

We can say that there were no surprises in the Europa League. The matches were generally predictable. Ajax defeated Ludogorets 4-1 away and we can say that they passed the round. Olympiacos won the match 3-1 with goals in the first half. Only the Hacken - Aberdeen match could have been won by Hacken.  After going 2-0 up, they conceded 2 goals in a row which led to a draw.
Sheriff, on the other hand, will most probably go through in the rematch at home after the away draw.

yesterday's games didn't have results that caused me any surprise, as most of the favorite teams managed to win in their game, perhaps because they were playing against not very strong opponents. slavia praha wins the game against zorya, in this game slavia praha managed to score 2 goals and did not concede any goals, with that slavia praha will be able to play with some comfort in the second leg, they just needed to strengthen their defense and score 1 goal in the second leg, while for zorya, who will play at home in the second leg, things will be very difficult for them, they will need to score 3 goals and not concede a goal if they want to pass to another stage

ajax had a very comfortable victory in the game against lundogorets, in my opinion with these 4 goals that ajax scored in this game and only conceded 1 goal, it will guarantee that ajax in the second leg will focus on defense and move to another phase, I don't see Ludogorets managing to score 5 goals in the second round game without conceding a single goal, I believe that the entire Ludogorets squad must have already realized that, so it's possible that in the second round they won't try too hard and focus on the league game from them. Lask won in their game, but it is not a comfortable victory, which means that in the second leg everything is open, either team still has many chances to pass to another stage

olimpiacos won comfortably, I see that they will win again in the second round and move on to another phase. the sheriff could not win in their game, they were already losing but they managed to score 1 goal and with that they tied the game, but I see that in the second leg there are chances of them losing and not passing to another phase, union won comfortably, I see them also come out with victory in the second round game and move on to another phase. looking at all these teams, the only team I see with the potential to win the Europa League and Ajax, I'm only talking about those teams that played yesterday

Yeah this is a good moment for Fenerbahce they should have taken advantage against 10 players especially playing at home and there's still plenty of time left, my bet is safe on this match because I bet on both teams to score on my parlay. In another match I was monitoring the match between Ludogorets vs Ajax it seems that Ajax was very aggressive in the first half having scored 2 goals but I need 1-2 more goals to secure one of my bets over 3 goals I know both teams are very active in scoring in every match.

Lol I just realized Fenerbahce already scored another 2 goals in 3 minutes    now Fenerbahce is in a safe position.

Fenerbahce was losing 0-1 but was able to draw by halftime. Also Twente got a red card so this makes things easier for them. But in second half they still cannot score a goal. They were able to score but offside denied them a goal but i think they will win in the end for sure

My fault, partially. Been meaning to post here but I didn't find the time to bet so don't know much about odds or even potential setups but I would blindly go against Ajax if the odds are (and should be) 6/1 at least.

Fancy both Prague teams through, and at least a couple of favourites with second legs to fight for? Haecken up as expected already...

First leg of UEFA Europe League play-off round will play tomorrow and several teams already for fighting to qualify final phase and get chance participants in Europe League season 2023/24. I am interested with qualifier play-off round match Bulgarian team Ludogorets against with Eredivisie team Ajax Amsterdam. Usually, Europe League is not placed for Ajax Amsterdam but last season finished on 3rd standings place make them have to play in Europe League trough play-off round. A

Ajax Amsterdam is favorable for qualifying to next round due inconsistent performance from Ludogorets in domestic league and failure in UEFA Champion League qualifier and have to play in Europe League. Ludogorets won aggregate 6-3 on third round qualifying from Astana and they have good capital against Ajax Amsterdam, although not really favorable but qualifying to Europe League can forget their failure for qualifying to Champion League.

A bit strange that there is no posts about Europa league qualifiers today, while Conference league is getting some attention. There is some interesting games like Ludogorets - Ajax or Dinamo Zagreb - Sparta Prague. I'm going with ML of some favorite - Ajax, Hacken, Union Roayale, and LASK.
Klaksvik - Sheriff is game of two small underdogs who surprised Europe in recent years. I go with under 2.5 goals there as we already saw how difficult to score at Klaksvik pitch, While I think that we can expect high scoring games between Slavia - Dnipro-1 and Olympiacos - Zrinjski. Home teams is heavy favorites and their easy wins is quite likely.

Fenerbahçe is in the conference league, not the European league. Of course, they formed a good squad and passed Maribor easily. The current opponent is more difficult, of course. They were paired with Twente. If they can eliminate Twente, we will watch them in the group stages. Although they have a quality squad on paper, I think the Twente match will be difficult because they did not play a more difficult match.

There are top clubs that tends to keep the pressure but failed along the line, they got good signings to improve their league. Fenerbahçe will make to the group after stellar performance from them ove their opponents. Fenerbahçe triumphed over Maribor in UEFA Europa Conference League. Fenerbahçe headcoach, Ismail Kartal, his game strategy is basically worth we should smbr amazing and exciting to watched.  Fenerbahçe is one of the outstanding clubs out there, although there league is not competitive as others but these clubs means business. They don't relent but always provide the best options.

there were results in this round that left me surprised, like the case of the ludogoretes game, they lost in the first leg by a small difference in goals, but even so it didn't change the fact that they lost, I was even surprised to see them lose and I thought that in this second leg they would lose again, but I was surprised with this turnaround that they had in this second leg, ludogoretes won the game and managed to score 5 goals, it was something very impressive and I was wondering what changed so much in their team and in the opponent that made them score 5 goals and only conceded 1 goal in this second leg game, with this result ludogoretes moved to another phase

in other games sheriff beat his opponent and with that he went to another stage, meanwhile the olympiacos also went to another stage, hacken won again and this time they scored 5 goals, in the first leg they had scored 3 goals, so combined were 8 goals scored against only 1 goal conceded, slavia praha also moved on to another stage even though they managed a draw in this game. I would say that in a way the best known teams passed, that is the big teams, we will see how many of these teams go far

this competition when you are in the group stage it is difficult for these teams that are playing in the qualifiers to pass today, it is difficult for the teams in the qualifiers to be champions, will we see this scenario being inverted to the point that some of these teams that are playing in the qualifiers become champions ? well, time will tell if that will be possible or not. but for one of these teams to become champions it will not be easy, because they have to play against strong teams, which have a large squad

Fenerbahçe, Beşiktaş and Adana Demirspor advanced to the next round.

All three teams played well. Fenerbahçe played the best tonight.
I hope they make it to the groups and represent us.

HJK is shown an early red card. While leading the match 1-0, this card demoralized all the players. Moreover, at the end of the first half, Qarabağ won a penalty and they tied the match. HJK needs miracles now. Hacken, on the other hand, will want to protect the advantage he gained in the first match and I think he will skip the round.

To be fair Sherrif was at UCL just a year or two ago, and they did alrigtht, even managed to beat Real Madrid on the year they became champions, think about how good you have to be in order to beat UCL champions. Obviously they are not solid enough to win it themselves, but they are way too good for europa and could go very far if they do not face a big club before then. They are capable of beating teams like BATE without a trouble and should be considered as a good thing.

I believe that we need to give them the benefit of the doubt whenever they play someone, even if they are playing against a big club then we are going to end up seeing them have a chance to beat anyone they face, they are that good of a club.
