^^ Like you I forgot all about Chelski being in here.
And now, we can welcome the likes of Galatasaray, Kiev and Malmo so far -- 2 out of 3 who just finished a season ago in Champions League, one beating Man Utd, the other beating Barca. Can't say there's a shortage of firepower or prestige in this season's Europa!
We'll probably welcome some minor prestige again tonight. Qarabag, Red Star, Lille?

Despite conceding early goal against Jagiellonia, Ajax made seriouis statement for group stage by winning away game 4:1. They had chance to get even bigger win, but missed penalty. Not many upsets in 1st leg, probably only Elfsborg away win against Molde or Ferencvaros failing to win at home against Borac Banja Luka.
You guys are talking about Besiktas defence which doesn't exists. Same thing can be said about Lugano if you look at their recent results, 2nd leg should be fun.

I almost forgot that Chelsea now plays Thursday night football until I saw a notification from Google about their Europa league Conference game against Servette. Didn't see the game but Chelsea won it by 2-0. It's good to see them back winning. Hopefully we will get to see Enzo transfer some of that winning magic to their EPL games otherwise pressure will start mounting soon.
Good to know that these will be the last playoffs before everything goes in full swing.

Beşiktaş certainly has no problems scoring goals this season. They had a 3-1 lead against Lugano, meaning they scored three goals, but if you look at the previous matches they played, you will see that they conceded too many goals in the numbers, and they had the same problem in this match.
In short, while Beşiktaş has no problems scoring goals, they have problems in the defense line. If the Dutch coach can play the right game in defense, Beşiktaş will dominate Lugano in the return match.

Beşiktaş played against Lugano in an away match today. It was one of the enjoyable matches of the night. Beşiktaş could have actually won after capturing a 3-1 advantage. But they weren't good enough in defense and it ended 3-3. They will most probably finish the incomplete work in İstanbul. My team Fenerbahçe are also going to compete in league phase of the Europa League. I hope we can help with country coefficient by collecting some good amount of points.

We have new record made. In game between Ajax and Panathinaikos we saw longest ever penalty shootout in UEFA tournaments history. 34 shots were needed to decide winner, whole series took about 25 minutes. Crazy stuff! You won't see often player missing twice in same shootout, but Brian Brobbey did it. Anyway, Ajax won it and goes to final round of qualifiers

Other games didn't delivered upsets. Maybe Lincoln Red Imps win is little surprise, but it wasn't enough for them to qualify.

Today we have 2nd leg qualifying games. For me most interestinggames is Ajax - Panathinaikos and Servette - Braga. Put some money on Ajax win and BTTS on Servette - Braga, I hope it won't be another boring 0:0 draw.
Maccabi - Panevezys is game where we can expect some goals, same like in 1st leg, going with over 2.5 goals makes sense. Rapid - Trabzonspor looks like tricky game, Rapid have minimal advantage from 1st leg. Trying with BTTS here, would like to see Trabzonspor going through.

In 3rd round Ajax - Panathinaikos probably is most interesting pair. Ajax is favorite, but I wouldn't bet on their win away.
I kinda wish Panathinaikos won here, but of course second leg is still a chance, but away I dunno Ajax seems to have a good home record even in their current state. Ajax was fun to watch but now they don't deserve anything with their boring style. Guess 1.6 was very fair in the end, easy money for those betting on favorites last night I guess.

In 3rd round Ajax - Panathinaikos probably is most interesting pair. Ajax is favorite, but I wouldn't bet on their win away. I go with over 2,5 goals there. Same bet in Braga - Servette, Celje - Shamroc Rovers, and Molde - Cercle Brugge as well. Put some money on Trabzonspor ML. Much more on RFS Riga vs Santa Coloma. Odds isn't very high, but it looks like easy money.
And Draw No bet on Klaksvik, they're hard to beat at home and their opponent isn't something special

Atalanta was the team that made this year's winner lose, wow, it really wasn't a match as expected. Lookman sealed the match with his goals. I have never seen Bayern Leverkusen so helpless, I'm talking about this season. Xabi Alanso fell victim to wrong game analysis and wrong choices. Atalanta fought throughout the match and did not lose their resistance and tried to play ahead even when they were ahead. Bayern Leverkusen remained at a very low tempo, compared to Atalanta, I think they did not expect Atalanta's constant pressure and they had a mental collapse because they could not play their own game. Bayern Leverkusen fans supported their team until the end of the match, which has another beautiful side.
Atlanta totally surprised me because out of all the Club that were in the Europa still Got there Way in, Lookman actually did well. Sometimes I feel that the club is not without the players the kind of players you have with determine the kind of achievements you will get. Even Leverkusen did not win at least they were able to win the Bundesliga, which was also an unexpected winning because it was always Bayern or dortmund, but now things are changing early than expected. Xabi Alanso is doing all he can just to make his club stand out, for him to win the bundles Liga then he can also, Atlanta winning the Europa sign of them being dominant during the game, their will be other games for them to play, so them will both prepare very well before they commence the game, and if not that Bayern Leverkusen have won the bundeliga what ? They still want to win the Europa it's even good that they were defeated by Atlanta.

We have 9 nd qualifying round 2nd leg games today and some opportunities to make money. A bit surprised that odds for Ajax isn't bad at all, around 1.60. But maybe consideringthat they struggled in 1st leg, it's not strange. Anyway, going with their ML tonight. Also, going with Cercle Brugge ML with betboost.
I expect some high scoring games, so, I go with over 2.5 goals in quite many pairs - Elfsborg - Sheriff, Maccabi - Braga, Botev - Panathinaikos, Cercle - Kilmanrock, Rijeka - Huneodara and Rapida - Wisla
Going to make some similar bets on Conference league, but a bit lazy to write down everything.

. BTW, UEL has entered a new phase and this is an old topic, perhaps we should not discuss anything related to UEL until the qualifiers are over. There are many matches that should not be highlighted in the mainstream

.Whyever not? If you are betting on them, and you follow qualifiers, it is all relevant. I will update the thread title once the proper begins but I think there are plenty of worth watches, especially if you are from a supporting club.
I will, also, however start deleting the spammy posts. Already did a couple from phone but a clunky job of it.
Spammers be warned.
Trabzonspor had an easy win tonight. 2-0 is an important score for the first match.
Trabzonspor will play the next match at home, which is advantageous for them. The second match will be easy for Trabzonspor.

An easy match for them because they played a qualifying match with an unknown team, in the next leg they should be able to easily destroy MFK Ružomberok because they will be playing at home.

FC Sheriff Tiraspol vs. IF Elfsborg – BTTS @1.69
Sheriff had trouble against a defensive-minded and physical team of Zira, but they got through.
Elfsborg took quite the opposite path, thanks in part to Paphos' two red cards in both matches. The Swedes are a very direct, attacking side which should lead to an end-to-end open game with goals i think. Elfsborg's last 5 matches in all competitions have seen a total of 25 goals, hope that the high-goalscoring trend continues today.
I remember when Sheriff could beat Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu but it's not the same Sheriff now... I'm betting that both teams will score tonight... I hope that Sheriff can score in a home game... I think the same thing will happen in the game Wisla vs Rapid...Sheriff had trouble against a defensive-minded and physical team of Zira, but they got through.

Sherrif was one of those teams, won against Real, and the year Real won the UCL as well, so not like some bad Real season neither, it was on the season when Real won both UCL and the league, and yet they lost to Sheriff in the group stages which could be the biggest game in Sherrif history, no victory could ever be bigger than that, not now, not in the future. What we need to realize is that they tried their best, and they still can't get better because financially they can't afford to get players that would make that team better, they are better now but not that much. I am expecting them to not be that great, which is fine, but in the end we are talking about a team that is small and from a poor nation so they are where they deserve.

Bayer Leverkusen was unbeaten until they faced Atalanta in the Europa League final which was one of the top matches last season. Atalanta thrashed Bayer Leverkusen 3 nil in the final and Lookman scored an hattrick which was one of his epic performances at top phase for his club. However that shocking defeats will not stop Leverkusen this season from meeting up with their opposition, they're coming for everything they didn't touch last season, Xabi Alonso focuses on the UEFA Champions League because it's their main target. 
From today's games I took parlay of over 2.5 goals in Ajax - Vojvodina and Braga - Maccabi @1.72, I expect that favorites will not have much problems there. Also, put some money on Trabzonspor ML and over 2.5 on Pantahinaikos - Botev. And rest of money on ballance is for Conference league bets 
.
.There is still time but Ajax can't still score a single goal after leaving 70 minutes behind. Unless Vojvodina score first as soon as possible, I guess it is too difficult for this game to end up with over 2.5 goals.
This is all on Ajax though.
They actually played 5 friendlies and showed good performances in most of them. But it's interesting to see them having this much difficulty in this game now.They were really good in the 1st half but not good at all in the 2nd one. Probably they will still find a way to eliminate their competitor thanks to power gap but they should improve this performance immediately.

.A lot of awesome games today in Europa League and personally I will choose to watch Corvinul Hunedoara - Rijeka as few of us knew that Corvinul actually won Romanian Cup from Second Ligue and know they have a chance to qualify in Europa League groups. However , Rijeka is an experienced team with great players that know how to win important games but also qualifiers but I do see this game with both teams to score if someone wants to trow a bet on this game. 
After what Hunedoara did in 1st round, you can't understimate them. Personally, I'm not sure about BTTS on this game, I expect that Rijeka will win without conceding a goal

I agree with you, Bayern Leverkusen already where the favorite side to win, and that was on everyone's lips, because looking at the parameters on ground as at then, they had more advantage, they just won the bundesliga with an incredible record of undefeated games, so who wouldn't go for Leverkusen. Atalanta approached the game with an entirely different spirit, they where just good at the midfield and defence, there attack was a different story because Ademola lookman wasn't a strikes the Leverkusen defence early took cognizance of, by the time they knew it, he had already singlehandedly scored 3 goals to seal the winning, and that was the only underlining defensive error xabi alonso didn't see coming.
