Roma fans have reason to celebrate. Their team reached next round after difficult win against Ludogorets and their main rival Lazio got eliminated. What a performance by Zaniolo - two earned penalties and fantastic goal.
Group F remained to be fantastic until very end. All 4 teams got 8 points, can't remember anything similar. Feyenoord and Midtjylland goes to next round, Lazio and Sturm got eliminated because H2H results.
I already said many times, but I'm amazed how terrible Olympiacos become. They used to play decent in Champions league and now they end last in Europa league group with just 2 points and now another loss against Nantes at home 0:2. They squad doesn't look that bad.

Both teams are still at the same level as Manchester United so there's nothing to worry about if you think Juventus and Barca  are strong opponents then they shouldn't be knocked out of the Champion League right? Manchester United is currently on the right track they almost recorded a perfect win in the Europa League.

By the way Roma managed to make a comeback 3-1 after losing in the first half with this win Roma goes to the next round, do you know who their next opponent is?

Manchester United has rounded up a round of 16 group E games with a win against Real Sociedad. They won with a goal. Manchester United came second with 15 points while Real Sociedad had 15 points but topped Manchester United with a goal difference.
Manchester United will be playing against one of the UCL clubs either Barcelona or Juventus in their next Europa match. What's Manchester United's fate since Barcelona and Juventus are joining the Europa League

I had Man Utd to win, thanks to David Gea for saving the for me, I really just went with my guts and I was prompted by the odds too I'm not gonna lie because I felt the 2 Odds was really just valuable to me.

I'm not the biggest fan of BTTS and I really don't like to bet on Europa, due its high level of uncertainty imo, and I'm not so conversant with a lot of teams in the competition, I just often follow the league popularity and some other weird sentimental shits.

I've got Villarreal to win for this night fixture and they're already trailing by a goal against desperate Lech Poznan.

probably salty due to that, I also like Lazio out, hoping to see Provedel out for Maximiano as prime goalkeeper, but ain't gonna happen this season obviously
interesting group dough, all teams end up with 8 points, goal difference was there to make all the difference, and Lazio lost 5:1 from Midtjylland

Nantes pulled win over Olympiakos, and proceed to next round, congrats after three loses in a row

I have watched second half of Lazio game and they so deserved to go out of Europa League. First they concede a very stupid goal and then after that they never really get going and put Feynoord under the pressure. I mean you can't loose anything else, grow a pair and attack with everything you got. Then you can at least say you did your best.

I needed both to score in this one for my multi so a bit extra salty maybe

interesting round, lot to be solved tonight
Zvezda is down 3:1 in Monaco at the moment, and they need to overcome score totally and win for next stage, pretty tough
Lazio is down in Rotterdam, and setting to play in Conference league, if they do not score in last 20 minutes

Olympiakos is really disappointing team this season
United lead against Sociedad

I'm waiting for Fenerbahçe's match tonight excitedly. Because if Fenerbahce win that match I will have a really big amount of winnings.    All of the other matches so far on the betslip have won so far.

I can't be very comfortable with Fenerbahçe's win for now on the other hand. Because I remember their previous match against Dynamo Kyiv at the same time. They had a really hard time on winning in Istanbul. They won the match by like a last-minute goal. However there is an advantage for Fenerbahçe here as well because their opponent can't qualify for even the Conference League from now on. Hopefully Fenerbahçe will win and make me very happy.

Arsenal tonight, right guys?

But just in case they don't perform, or win by a solitary goal, I've just gone for a rather dangerous Under 4 Asian handicap at under 17/10.

And then this tidy acca, counting on at least 1 goal in first half to help me boost a small Union/Monaco acca:



Won't be a good look for the holders to go back down. Mou's going to give it everything to win Europa and... add a new tattoo or something heh.

Roma are going to play a really important match for themselves in three days. They have to defeat Ludogorets in Italy otherwise they will continue in the Europa Conference League later on.

Ludogorets seem to have a really big advantage in their hands for sure. But I still think that there is no way Roma are losing points against them home. I know that their priority is to be successful in the Serie A this season. They are doing better than the previous season and they want to keep a good run in the end. But I think they will care about this critical match of the group stage. Their fixture is a little tight these days. They are playing against Verona at the moment. Two days after the Ludogorets match, they have another match in the Serie A. But I still think Mourinho won't rotate the squad much and they will do their best for the next round in the Europa League. 1.33 is a small odd to bet on but it would be nice in a multi.

I think what makes Ronaldo not to be scoring Machine like before  is the too much sitting on a bench. Ronaldo scored plenty goals last season but this season he never had the same chance  and it is a problem for him. This can be the reason why he always angry with ten Hag.

Exactly! I don't think in any of the discussions about if Ronaldo should play or not has never been about his ability to score goals, he proved that even in his last season, being the one solely responsible for dragging his club out of trouble. The problem is what he does to a team, does he make it better or does he make it worse?

Ask Juventus.


That must have been so painful, I wish I used my freebets more often like this, usually I put on one or two games or that I choose a big upset (in my measurement not yours lol).

You would even have taken insurance if this wasn't a freebet

Ronaldos quality never came into any doubt. The problem with him was that he just wasnt in form and couldnt score as much as before but once he scores in a couple of games in a row he will be again a goalscoring machine. Only wish he played more in the premier league so he can prove to everyone his quality

I was really doing good with my betslip however Fenerbahce destroyed it by getting a draw. I trusted them to win against Rennes and it was the only match I predicted wrong. 5.55 was a really delightful total odd for me but couldn't make it.

This score is still useful for Fenerbahce maybe but getting a win was going to secure the lead actually. The reason why I trusted their win was this. They started the match really horrible. It wasn't difficult for Rennes to bring the score to 3-0 at all. But Fenerbahce's awake was really promising. Even though they were 3-0 behind they didn't give up on the match. After a brave fight they managed to finish the match with a 3-3 draw. They are still the leader as a result but they must win against Dynamo Kyiv last week to secure the lead. Otherwise they will play an extra round with one of the teams coming from the Champions League which would be more stressful for them.

Gustav Isaksen's quick goal made it difficult for Lazio to develop the game, but slowly Lazio began to improve and found a scheme to maintain the rhythm of the game, precisely in the 36th minute Sergej Milinkovic was able to take advantage of the wonderful opportunity provided by Felipe Anderson, so the score changed to 1 -1.
After this goal was created, Lazio began to take possession of the ball, the rhythm of the game changed completely from before, in the 55th minute Pedro Rodriguez came on for Matteo Cancellieri and managed to score the winner three minutes after he was put on by the coach, finally the goal became the winning goal for Lazio until the game ends.

This had made my long discussion in the English league. Everyone said that Ronaldo didn't have the instinct to score anymore, even many blamed Ronaldo's attitude for leaving the field before the game ended against Tottenham. Although everyone agrees that such an attitude is clearly not justified. But in the end Ronaldo proved that when given the chance, he would not let Ten Hag down.

In the game I saw last night, Ronaldo played quite well, despite losing the ball a few times, but if Erik Ten Haq gave Ronaldo more playing time, we think he can prove his quality and goal-scoring instinct is not over. It's great to see Ronaldo again contributing to the club.

Well, not a good night for me at all. I was counting on the Germans Union Berlin and Freiburg to win, Union did so my final leg on this acca was all there to win, until they conceded in 17th minute and didn't register a single shot on goal in first half.

Second half came and they were peppering in the crosses and corners, but an injury-time goal was all they managed. Worst kind of acca to fail, was a freebet though so didn't lose anything, just deflated haha.

Figures as well it was supposed to be the easiest leg.

I do not think arsenal troubles in front of goals in the past 3 games is anything related to incompetence; i think otherwise that the young squad is simply exhausted and tired after the long run of games they have played given that there is no depth in squad. The big question now is that will arteta be able to fix this? and keep the squad form excellent ? or is this another arsenal slip during the course of the season ?

From pure dominance in first leg to pure incompetence in second leg, Arsenal won 1-0 and then lost 2-0 and it could have been even more. What's happening with this team really, they allowed the Southampton game to get to them I think although the signs were coming that they couldn't hold on to their high levels.

Even the goals from Jesus is drying up, damn.

@trendcoin English commentators always hate to see this type of skill thing. I love it though, but as long as it's useful. If it's just 100 stepovers for nothing it's boring and stupid. This particular one kinda looks useless, it's so far away from defender lol

Football is really unpredictable, I had a single stake on the Fenerbahce and Rennes game with a draw option but when I watched Rennes score 3 goals in 30 minutes I gave up thinking I have lost the stake but I couldn't imagine the dramatic change as Fenerbahce turned the score line around and drew the game 3:3, it's one of the most interesting match of the night and the home team really put up a good performance after conceding those early goals in the first half. The result ensured Fenerbace's position as the group leaders and Rennes managed to be runners-up, good come back for Fenerbace I must say.

Anthony repeated his trademark spin move in the Sheriff match (https://twitter.com/neymarjrdepre/status/1585755832955928577). Paul Scholes has been somewhat harshly critical of Anthony's trademark spin move (https://twitter.com/ESPNFC/status/1585726906757939201). What do you think about this event? Do you think it's an embarrassing or humiliating move?

When I saw this position, I remembered İlhan Mansız's wonderful move against Roberto Carlos in the World Cup years ago.

Roberto Carlos immediately fouled İlhan Mansız in this position.
