I was doubting Juventus a lot for the first leg truthfully. I thought it wouldn't be an easy match for them at all. Now we are seeing the exact same thing. Sevilla have turned this match into a nightmare for them because they are like dominating the statistics now. Juventus can't even create many dangerous chances here. They don't even have a shot on target and there are only 3 goal attempts by them so far.

These are really poor statistics for a team that are challenging for the finale in the Europa League. Juventus are even lucky that Sevilla didn't open the goal gap more in the first half already. Because in that case it would have been a situation in which there wouldn't be many ways to turn back.

Juventus need to pull themselves together so Allegri had better warn the players about this poor effort.

^^^ Nice bet Slam! I also have Sevilla on my ticket, but I went a bit more by pairing it with Basel in Conference so I'm sweating it out there. I guess I don't like winning easy, huh?

Also rooting for Mourinho, meanwhile. I'd like for him to reach the final and then smack... Sevilla? Imagine that, winning Conference, then Europa, then... UCL? I'll take some bets on that if someone could show me the odds

Just because they managed to beat United doesn't mean that they are great, United scored on their own goal twice, and they had some silly funny mistakes that was humiliating for the fans but they lost because of that in the end which makes Sevilla not that great. We need to understand that it is not going to be that great for them, and they can't really change much about it neither.

It's just how it is and we need to move on. I personally believe that the best thing to do in this case is to make sure that Juventus has high morale, they are getting punishments after punishments from the league which drops the morale sometimes, if they can stop that and keep the players hyped about this game then they could end up with a win without a doubt.

I really don't know what to expect Sevilla. They're struggling in La Liga, but after all, they eliminated MU. We can expect to see typical 1:0 Juve win, but I'll skip this game.
Roma - Bayer. Here I'm going with Roma win. Mainly because of home factor and also because Mourinho knows very well how to win in cups.

I think Juventus will get it, I know that most people think that Sevilla is on a good roll and they have done as well as they hoped for and Juventus has been troubling and have some issues on top of their head and when you combine all those facts together it looks like Juventus will fail. But the reality is that we are not going to really see anything like that, we are going to end up with something much better and that will end up with something much bigger and better for Juventus.

I feel like it is going to end up with a good result eventually for Juventus. When you attack a team from all fronts, you make the players stick together a lot more and that is why I feel like that's going to be the case for this game as well, they will probably get a win.

Yes, I'm betting on Sevilla. This time, not going to make my previous mistake of making a multibet (Sevilla won, but Barcelona did not).

Honestly I think at the odds that are given which is even better than when fighting Manchester United, this has to be a really big bet for me personally.

Juventus are at home though so that is always the danger of these matches.

Sevilla's run in this season has been quite interesting. Their luck was a big help until a point first of all. I would like to remind you of their first leg match against Manchester United as well. They were so lucky about scoring those goals late in the match and getting a draw somehow. However things have started to change by the rematch. There was a really solid effort by Sevilla in the second leg.

They have been doing pretty good in the La Liga for a while as well. Therefore I think that we have already left behind Sevilla's horrible look. They have started to get positive results and this should be helpful in their upcoming matches in the Europa League as well.

Juventus are currently the most favoured team for the title by bookmakers. But I think they will have a hard time against Sevilla for sure.

I somehow missed all the drama of the other legs, apart from sevilla, who of course tricked me to bet on them again in La Liga lol

If only I just stick to giving them a miss along with Valencia, but it's very tough to see any other winner than Sevilla now even though the current semifinal players are all very very good.


How little I know that I didn't realize Alonso was now managing? If he wins this he will be legendary, to beat Mourinho is not a small matter. I agree league route is not open because the top 4 will gain most of the points, so I'm sure he is calculating his chances here. But so is Mourinho

Feyenoord could have eliminated Roma if it weren't for Dybala's life-saving goal for Roma. Of course Roma were still the better side in extra time and deserved to eliminate their opponent. Feyenoord gave up quite easily in extra time very interestingly after fighting hard until that point. But as for Leverkusen I don't think they would give up at any point of the matchup.

Leverkusen seem stronger than Feyenoord above all else. If it werent for Xabi Alonso's system then I wouldn't have expected to see them reaching even this stage. But so many things have changed thanks to him. He started a better era around here and they are doing a pretty good job about balancing the Bundesliga and Europa League now. They can still have big difficulties in finishing the Bundesliga in top 4 while there are only a few matches left. They can still be a part of the Champions League by becoming the champions here. If they become consistent in both legs it isn't a low probability for them to push Roma out of here.

almost agree here, matches between Sevilla and United, or Feyenoord with Roma seem better than some CL matches
Leverkusen passed into SF, and their play so far is close to nothing, with a bit of luck, they could be a winner here

interesting SF pairs, Sevilla vs Juventus and Roma vs Leverkusen, not sure who will pass through, but cheering for Leverkusen

and this is a very shocking result of the manchester united game, manchester united has been a team with good defense and good attack but in this game without bruno fernandes it was noticed that the team returned to being the same as in the last 2 seasons, but suffered 3 goals was a huge exaggeration and humiliation, I wonder how the manager of manchester united must be very angry at this moment. with this defeat, manchester united is out of the europe league, this also shows that if they go to the champions league, there is no squad to go far and to win the premier league

As for the Roma game, it was also a very surprising result because Dybala managed to score just as the game was ending and saved the team, in extra time Roma scored 2 goals and won the game, Mourinho is a great coach, Roma they might even be lucky enough to win the europe league but they don't have a squad to win serie a and go far in the champions league unless they had the same luck as milan and inter had

about Juventus, as expected from the juventus coach, his strategy of strengthening the defense and focusing on scoring only 1 goal and then concentrating more on defense has produced good results, at least to stay in the third position of the series A and even they can win the europe league but also that way they won't be able to win the serie A and much less get far in the champions league. but in the europa league there are good chances

Congrats, mate. Sevilla might be struggling in La Liga a lot, but their proves again that Europa league is their tournament. Probably not many are surprised about Maguire making such mistake, but you won't see De Gea making such mistakes like he did today.
Roma - Feyenoord it's game where want to see both teams going forward, can't pick favorite. Today Roma played much better, had more chance and I think it's fair that game goes to extra time, Feyenoord didn't had many moments, but managed to score.
And Sporting - Juve. Sporting were really close from sending game to extra time, but Juve show again how good their defense.
That moment when Europa league 1/4 finals is much more exciting than we had in Champions league.

Manchester United switched off in the first leg after the goals they scored and lost focus. They lost the valuable advantage of winning at home in the first leg due to defensive errors, and the same defender who was the problem is still in the team that will play again today. Sevilla is the better team to bet on to me because they can really win this second leg if they start attacking Manchester United defence from the first half.

^ I'm going Sevilla all the way. Odds aren't as interesting as the first leg (what a shame that was) but I've already got a couple of accas involving Feyenoord and Sevilla (both teams were worth their salt last game!).

There's so much at stake, I feel the value is really with the "underdogs" here. Hard not to give the nod to Ten Haag and Mourinho I suppose.

I can't believe what happened in MU - Sevilla game. When MU were leading 2:0, I thought it's over, turned off notifications on Flashscore and didn't come back to game until I saw final score of it. How it happened that MU score 2 own goals in final minutes of game? I didn't expected anyting from Sevilla, but now 2nd leg will be interesting.
Juve won game in their typical style and already common for them 1:0 score. Sporting were better, they had more chances.
Bayer didn't managed to beat Union, game ended 1:1. As I already said, probably it can't be called as big surprise. Wasn't able to watch Feyenoord - Roma game, from stats it looks like 50/50 game.
So, all 4 2nd leg games should be exciting, nothing isn't decided yet.

Manchester united is playing a lovely football, I see that they are taking advantage of Sevilla weakness and critical state in this match. Sabitza scored the two goals in five minutes, with a good ball work from Martial. Martial's performance in this match is superb,I guess he has picked form.

Sevilla are trying their best to see that they can score at least one goal but it has been impossible for them because Manchester united defense is not easy for them to penetrate. Casemiro is playing with caution and he is also careful to make sure that he doesn't fall into the yellow card trap. It is clear that Sevilla is not fit to play Manchester united this season,even though that they are the league favourite.
Manchester united 2-0 Sevilla

In the first match of the day, we watched Feyenoord-Roma.Neither team fought badly in this match, but there was no problem except that Feyenoord had a slight advantage as the home team.Towards the end of the first half, Roma won a penalty but could not take advantage of it.I have to say that Pellegrini could not close the first half ahead with his missed penalty.In the second half, the home team Feyenoord increased the pressure and scored in the first minutes and won the match 1-0.

I have to say it's plenty of big games here tonight, almost worthy of UCL fixtures all of them!

Not many games left to the end, and I think Feyenoord would very much like to put one leg in the door tonight, but Roma will feel equally certain about their abilities to make a statement away from home. Still scoreless as it stands... Roma disallowed goal, heh.

@LTU_btc Sporting's prize for knocking the favourite out is an Italian affair but I'll be watching Sevilla to see if they still call Europa their plaything. GL with over 2.5, I think it's a cool bet, I'm on Sevilla ML...

Juventus will try their best but Lisbon is not the only team between them and the title. We still have United out there as well, and maybe Sevilla will win who knows but I think it is important to just see that Juventus is better than Sevilla, and United is better than them too.

So we should probably see a Juventus vs United soon, and that "should" be what happens, obviously Juventus could lose to Lisbon and United could lose to Sevilla and out of nowhere we could have a Sevilla vs Lisbon as well, we wouldn't really know. I know that it is not going to be something major, it should not be a big deal and maybe we could end up with whatever and still have fun as the people who watches the games, as long as you are not the fans of course.

The game between Juventus and sporting CP will be a very interesting game to look out for, because Juventus only hope of winning a trophy this season is winning the European Cup, which is going to be a miracle for them, because they have been really poor this season, but I don't thinking is going be possible, Sporting CP has been very good this season, if they can be able to remove a team like Arsenal then I see every possibility of them qualifying ahead of Juventus, because when it comes to form this season they are far more better than the Juventus side at the moment.
