Had a blast with Champions League opening day, so am definitely looking in tonight's clashes for some tasty encounters with high odds.
Zurich over 8/1 and Bodoe/Glimt are over 6/1. Plenty of other underdogs too but I don't know if I should bet on total unknowns. Arsenal and Eindhoven are the ones I'd bet against, even though they do seem to have a far better team on paper.
What do you guys think?

I got ripped by Inter on my La Liga multibet hehe, but it's okay as I won the freebet from Sportsbet promos playing random teams in Conference/Europa.
I know it's not really this topic but feel less and less confident about Atletico who I second support, and jury still out on my own team, but for sure Real look steady as usual!
Maybe I'll stick to Europa betting

Very diverse group composition. Some look like Champions League groups (judging by the first two teams as group A), and some (like group D) look like the Conference League. Assuming that everyone will play with the same motivation, the outcomes of many groups are quite easy to predict, but as we saw last season, the teams play randomly, so I would rather bet on the underdogs than on the favorites in the group stage. I mean not the result of the group but individual games.
In group C I think Roma and Real Betis will qualify whereas other groups is open for any of the clubs to qualify.
I can actually agree with all your predictions.
FC Sheriff lost a lot of good players from last season and they don't have such a strong team this season. I don't expect them to make a good result again this season.
I believe that Braga, Lazio, Olympiacos and Monaco are also big favorites to pass their groups in this competition, but of course, surprises are always possible.
A very interesting and uncertain competition awaits us.

After having a great season in the La Liga with Pellegrini we are going to watch Betis in the Europa League. They missed the Champions League opportunity slightly too. I only see Roma in their group which can make things more difficult for them. Betis are going to be one of the teams I will follow closely. Because they are also one of the favourites for the title. As it isn't easy for them to qualify for the CL in the La Liga they can take this tournament very seriously to join the CL groups directly.
Arsenal and Manchester United are going to be the biggest candidates for winning the title. Arsenal have already started great to the EPL. Manchester United are newly recovering after the Liverpool win and they really need to reach the CL at the end of this season. The third biggest favourite is Roma of course. It was a great run in the Europa Conference League with Mourinho last season.

In the group stage, Fenerbahce has been placed in one of the best groups I think it can be placed in. Especially being in the same group with Dinamo kiev has become more meaningful after Jorge Jesus' statements. I think Jorge Jesus will prepare harder for the Dinamo kiev match. Fenerbahçe does not have a match in the league that week. This news increases the importance of this match.
Yes, it's funny how Fenerbahce and Dynamo will meet again in LE. By the way, group B turned out to be very equal in strength, Larnaca did not look bad in the qualifying matches, I think that there may not be any clear leader in this group until the very end. I want to believe that Dynamo will have the strength to get out of this group in the playoffs. In other groups, Manchester United, Arsenal and Roma appear to be clear favorites in their groups.

I'd like to share my opinion about the groups of the teams in my country. I mean Fenerbahce and Trabzonspor.
Fenerbahce meet Dynamo Kyiv again after the unpleasant rendezvous in the Champions League. However I strongly believe that things will be different in this group. It was only the start of the season when Fenerbahce were eliminated by them. Now Jorge Jesus has brought the team to a better level. We are watching a team that are very productive about scoring lately. It's time to have revenge on Dynamo Kyiv also. Rennes are the toughest team to defeat for them but I think Fenerbahce can get four points from them at least. They can finish the group as the leader.
When it comes to Trabzonspor's group it is even easier. Monaco are the only team that can make difficulties for them. But they haven't started the season nicely in the Ligue 1 also. Trabzonspor should also be able to advance to next stage by finishing second in the worst case.

interesting draw today, United with Sociedad, Sheriff and Omonia, but there are groups where there will be wholeround fight, like Zvezda, Monaco, Ferencvaros and Trabzonspor, probably strongest group
Lazio had solid draw, as Roma as well and Arsenal, should not focus much into group stage

Fenerbahçe defeated Austria wien 4-1 at home and qualified for the groups. They won with a dominant and beautiful game. But I still think the defenders are not good enough. There will be more serious and stronger opponents in the group. The performance against them will reveal everything

I think that we have started to see the Jorge Jesus effect on Fenerbahçe. 
Because tonight was amazing for them. There was a great team play above all else which helped them give nearly zero chances to their opponent. The productiveness of the team is increasing day by day. This is what Fenerbahce fans want to see from them because the team were searching for a good scorer for a long time to fix this problem. But it's getting better already now. After adding Maxi Gomez also to the team they would have even a more reliable attacking line hopefully.

They shouldnt have been knocked out by Dinamo Kiev but it was those early games so anything can happen. Now once he coached them for a few months they look really good both in europe and in their own league

Olympiacos are far ahead from their old strength seemingly. Because bookmakers were favouring them to eliminate Apollon easily but we are neary in the penalty shoot-outs. Carrying the match there can be very advantageous for Apollon as they can have a bigger chance for the group stage. Even if Olympiacos somehow make it to the groups I don't expect them to go too far in the tournament.
Congrats to Fenerbahce for qualifying for the group stage but Sivasspor unfortunately failed. Malmo made use of being a very experienced team in this kind of tournaments to eliminate them. Good luck to Sivasspor in the Conference League from now on.

What hurts me most today is that my multi bet lost... I was betting on Gent to win against Omonia Nyokosia, but this time the Belgians lost 2-0 again, and I also thought that Sheriff would finally show their professionalism and win Pyunik in regulation time, but it all turned out to be just in my imagination... I think I should refrain from betting for now...
Well everybody plays football lately and i think we can expect surprises always. Gent got knocked out by Omonia and thats just a huge shame for a team from Belgium. Sheriff also barely won against Pyunik on penalties and that is a shocking for a team that played last season Real Madrid and made good results

Zalgiris - Ludogorets, what a game, unfortunately without happy end for me. Zalgiris scored very early goal on 20th second, were leading 3 times. But on 120th minute of extra time referee gave very cheap and questionable penalty which let Ludogorets to win on aggregate.
Complete collapse of Gent, they lost against Omonia 0:2 again. Fenerbahche had easy life against Austria Vienna. Sheriff won against Pyunik just after penalties. Olympiacos after all won against Apollon and reached group stage. Early goal on 2nd minute was enough for them.
EDIT Olympiacos conceded on 90th minute and game went to extra time. And Oly won after penalties.

Personally I don't see serious arguments of Austria Wien that they can offer against Fenerbahche. I'm going with combo of Fener and Olympiacos wins. Oly is struggling this season so far, but I think that simply must beat Apollon at home. I think that Gent will win against Omonia, but I'm not really sure that it will be enough after loss in 1st leg 2:0.
I'm backing Zalgiris against Ludogorets. Yeah, Im biased here, bbut I don't see why not. They lost 1st leg just 1:0 and Zalgiris is playing much better at home.

Heh, so Rangers did NOT make a return to Europa, instead we get PSV (if I got the tables and paths all right) but we still have business to do with Qualifyings tonight.
I'm actually going to back Austria Wien tonight, already put that pick on my odds thread. Fenerbahce are a bit scary right now, 2 wins 1 draw puts them top of Super League while Wien are closer to bottom than top, but that makes them dangerous opponents in Europe I'd say. At 76/10, great value for me!

Maybe Shamrock may bounce back in the return leg, which looks unlikely, but for last night, Ferencvaros had something to celebrate over.

it is not unlikely, it is almost impossible for Shamrock to kick-out Ferencvaros
I like clubs from Ireland, but it is too much a competition for them to play in European cups, Ferencvaros was playing CL last season, and they are continuously solid in Europe
regarding Olympiakos, yeah, they are struggling this season, but it is probably due to their season not starting yet, and they need some time to upgrade form
