Again, bookmakers give roughly equal odds of a Napoli or Barcelona win at 2.7... I'll probably bypass this match, it could be a draw in regulation time again... You can also risk betting on a Betis win against Zenit, odds on a Betis win are very good! Wink

I think Betis will find it difficult to win zenit. St. Petersburg play a fine game and might give Betis a hard time. I see a 2 or ov 1.5 in the game.

I'm out to see a rebranded Barcelona out to take the lead full time against Napoli. Betis against zenith I pick zenit to win. The aggregate is 3-2 already but i don't still see betis winning. The first leg between Barcelona and Napoli at camp nou ended in a draw and this second leg could be any teams game but I guess Barcelona is more in for it

The odds on Sevilla winning in Zagreb tonight are unexpectedly high, I will be going both for Sevilla win and Sevilla handicap win.

Although Sevilla has a good result from the 1st game, they are still a much better team and should be winning - especially because Dinamo will be without 2 really important players (Arijan Ademi and Luka Ivanušec). Dinamo needs to play offensively and Sevilla will know how to use the space provided, especially since Dinamo's midfield will be really weakened.

Playing at Ibrox stadium home ground for Rangers this just like mission impossible for Dortmund because they have to made at least 3 goals or more to secured their position went to next round but the good thing from Dortmund is Haaland confirmed will play for this match because he has recovered from his injury however i think Dortmund will win this match because they are onfire but the final score might be less than 3 goals

Borussia Dortmund's mission to come to the ibrox stadium was a revenge mission where in the first leg Dortmund had to lose 2-4 to the Scottish.representative, even though their efforts were not easy because the 2-goal margin of course was very large, especially since the Glasgow rangers played in front of their own public at the ibrox stadium, However, Borussia Dortmund can breathe a sigh of relief by being strengthened by their mainstay striker Erling Haaland after missing the first match where he was only a spectator when his team was massacred by Glasgow Rangers at Signal Iduna Park.

I also prefer not to bet on this game because both teams are on the same level and either of them can win this game or it can draw so it is much more difficult to predict who will win in my opinion. napoli are in a situation where they lost points in the serie A and barcelona is also an unstable team that is in the process of adopting new strategies and coach and players

Sevilla - Dinamo

sevilla will win this game, too bad I don't have more money to bet

Lazio - Porto

Porto will win this game

We are only one day away from the rematch of the Barcelona - Napoli matchup. As you all can remember, the first match ended up with a 1-1 draw. And it was in Camp Nou which is a good advantage for Napoli without any doubt. But Barcelona's performance is developing as time goes on. And in this match, I believe everything can happen. Barcelona are favoured by bookmakers by a slight margin now. And I think the same with them too. Maybe this match wouldn't end in 90 minutes. But by the extra time or penalties, I expect Barcelona to advance to the next stage.

I wonder how many goals we will see in this match - on the one hand, Napoli, playing at home, will try to decide the outcome of the match in their favor from a position of strength, and Barcelona, in turn, will attack because they don’t know how to play otherwise. It seems to me that there is a high probability that we will see much more goals scored than in the first meeting.

I also think that we can see more goals this time. Both of them are very capable teams as for scoring. The first match can be misleading as we could have seen a match with many goals in it in fact. Barcelona just wasted too many opportunities. If they scored more than one goal, I believe that Napoli would also score their second goal. In Napoli's stadium, I hope that we can watch even a more exciting match. This matchup deserves a big competition and many goals too.

I'm so anxious over the game between Napoli and Barcelona. This game is something Barcelona need to win first leg to give the a headstart. After an entertaining 1-1 draw at the Camp Nou, Napoli continue to battle for a place in the round of 16 in Southern Italy.
Napoli are a side who tend to play a game filled with tricky counter attacks and cunning tackles will see that they win in their home against the Catalan giants but Barcelona have proven to be worthy opponents.
Barcelona would need more than sheer luck to win this game as they have been in the champions league round of 16 for 17 successive times, they will not want to take the risk of losing out on this one. I see Napoli scoring in this game

Besides the match between Napoli v Barcelona, I think the interesting thing is in the Rangers v Dortmund match, after the defeat at home in the first leg with a score of 4-2, will Dortmund be able to win and can ensure that they qualify for the next round. Dortmund previously won big in the Bundesliga by beating Monchengladbach 6-0, maybe it will also make them have better motivation to be able to do the same for Rangers in today's match. Hope there is something very interesting, because if I look at it on paper I think Rangers still have a chance to qualify for the next round and maintain their lead.

Is Haaland in the squad for today's match or is he still injured? Dortmund might be able to win if Haaland are in the squad but I'm not sure if they can advance to the next round. They lost 4-2 in the first leg. Since the Rangers are already ahead. So in this match they will try to share the points by playing defensively. And with 10 players playing as defenders, it will be difficult for Dortmund to score.

I think without have Hhaaland on squad list team for Dortmund its looks less possibility can defeat Ranger with three goal above because Ranger have one step closer to next stage after first leg win dramatically with good score 4-2. I think tonight match will be interested for Ranger pass to next stage because need draw only and I think Ranger prefer play with defensive mode and keep try with counter attack only, hard mission for Dortmund and if want pass to the next stage need to win above 3 goals and should early minutes have scoring to make it easy for pass to the next stage.

Yo guys, anyone here brave enough to place a bet on Borussia Dortmund making it to the next round? Wink

I think the fact that Haaland still can't play is. a big big negative for Borussia Dortmund in this situation. If Haaland was healthy against and ready to play, I would have been willing to take some risk and place a bet on Dortmund, but without him? I doubt it's possible to turn it around. Glasgow will be motivated like hell.

The pitch will decide for both teams. Barcelona has had lots of inconsistency since the beginning of the season. Napoli in the Italian league has been up to their games. Now in the Europa we saw the first leg between both teams end in a 1:1 draw which means the second leg could be any man's game. But I still see Barcelona as the favorite. The just deserve a trophy this season even in their inconsistency. I wish luck shines on them

I think Napoli will do their best to win the Serie A title. The Europa League title is not their main goal now. Barcelona, on the other hand, is getting stronger now. Trying to be more stable day by day. At the same time, they have no chance of winning the La Liga title. So now the main goal of Barcelona is to win the Europa League title. And their performance in the first match against Napoli impressed everyone.

Napoli and Lazio both are at top with their form in league table and now these both teams are going to play a very crucial match on Sunday If Napoli win this match then surely there could be very good fight between three teams for title and if we have lost or draw in favour of Napoli then chances could be gone down because inter is going to face Genoa and AC Milan is going to face Udinese.

So, both the teams can win their matches and widen points gape which is going to be problem for Napoli because recently they lost some good points and drop from first to third with this all they need to stay in for Europa Cup as well because this win can give them bright chance for win this title and having something good for cheer otherwise they are going to end this season without any good chance.

I think Barcelona gave the squad and attacking players to unlock this Napoli defence, since Xavi Hernandez came they have been lot of improvement in the Barcelona attack,he has brought the team back to top four in the league now with the added players that came at January ( Aubameyang, Adama Traore) not forgetting that they didn't allow dembele to leave so there is enough fire power In the attack.

I think the same thing especially for now they are more coordinated in attack and their tiki taka is slowly returning after a long absence.
I think the strategy will still be the same as in the first leg, they will try to hold the ball longer and create a bait so that Napoli players get out of their defense zone because in the first leg Napoli only secure their territory and rarely counterattack

Regardless the first leg i believe Barcelona would be able to beat napoli on this match and get the qualification if they will play all for the attack cause if they score 2 goals, receiving 2 goals will not be a problem and they will qualify this is why i believe that Barcelona will play all their offensive cards, scoring a goal in the first 30 minutes will make things easier and easier for them and that what they will try to do for sure

Actually, the current rule is really good and helps to maintain the competitive integrity of the competition. I have always thought that the rule that was in the past was a little unfair and needed to be changed. Now I think both the teams have equal chances of winning. And it's also more interesting to see a match when it goes to extra time and penalties. Which will happen more often under the current rule in my opinion.

Looks very good with new rule where UEFA not counted again with away goal and this not really important how many goal scored at the first leg because now just counted with who success win. I think will see many match until extended and penalty kick because draw never count as goal home or away. Maybe all club get agreement and looks fair rule change by UEFA but match will be competitive exactly on second leg because all team will have challenge winning only.

Napoli will definitely give Barcelona a big challenge. However, Barcelona looks like they are going to do something much better this time around and that will be decided on something much more tangible where Barcelona needs to show the amazing play that they had recently, if they do that then they will win.

However, they haven't been like this for a long time, it is a brand new thing, they started the season horribly and they were even dropped from champions league and that is the Barcelona we all know and if they keep doing that then they will lose. However, if they end up being like the last weeks then they could end up winning the game very easily, that's how different they are.

The matches of teams that do not have a very balance of power are always full of surprises. I think after the first qualifiers are over, more commentable and predictable matches will emerge.

Bookmakers may be considering Barcelona as favorites, their gameplay is good enough. Yet I cannot rely on this team. Now they are not stable. Their performance is not regular. However, in the first leg, Barcelona played a great game against Napoli. Napoli's performance was poor. The second leg If Napoli fails to improve their performance then they will be defeated. Because Barcelona is getting stronger day by day

It's true that Barcelona hasn't played consistently, so we can't guarantee that Barcelona will play well against Napoli in the second leg of
the Europa League. We know Barcelona can only draw in the first leg, even though Barcelona dominated the match, maybe Xavi could learn
from the match in the first leg, to make Barcelona play much better in the second leg. It should be with the quality of players that Barcelona
have to beat Napoli in the second leg, the possibility is very large. Although Napoli's performance declined, even facing Cagliari who were
in the relegation zone Napoli almost lost. But maybe Napoli performance can look different against Barcelona, because they will play at home,
and that becomes a motivation in itself. But I believe that Barcelona will qualify for the next round, because I see Barcelona playing a little better
than Napoli. And also some new Barcelona players are starting to adapt to the Barcelona game, this will make Barcelona more stronger.

Barcelona is certainly stronger now than they were at the first leg against Napoli. And I don't think we can call Barcelona a stable team for at least quite some time in the future because that's gonna take more time. I am not absolutely 100% sure that Barcelona is going to win but I am certain that they will give Napoli a good fight in the second leg. I don't think Barcelona will be able to win but I will not be surprised if they do win too.

FIFA has issued a new regulation, FIFA has removed away goals, FIFA used to apply away goals, such as Barca vs Napoli, if Napoli vs Barca played a goalless draw it was certain that Napoli would qualify for the next round, because Napoli had away goals, but that rule has been revoked by FIFA, if Napoli vs Barca play in a draw, there will be extra time, if it is still a draw, the winner must go to a penalty shootout to determine the winner, and have the right to advance to the next round.

I think this rule is fairer. And capable of making matches more competitive, not making the first leg more monotonous, as the home team is more focused on not scoring goals than scoring. And in turn, the second leg games also become more competitive, since when a first leg game ends in a 1-1 draw, both teams will try to score goals to avoid extra time.
Thus, the Napoli-Barcelona game will be very interesting to watch, because both teams will want to score goals.

Yes, this rule is fairer and I am also among those who do not agree with the old rule on away goals. But even so, if in the first leg one of the teams can win at least with a difference of two goals then I think it will also be safe because in the second leg the team that has won it can apply a defensive strategy. Although indeed, in this tournament anything can happen in the second leg with an incredible comeback like the ones in the past as well. So yeah, basically this new rule is very good because every team will certainly fight until the end and when it's a draw then they still have to fight longer and of course this will be very interesting.

Actually, the current rule is really good and helps to maintain the competitive integrity of the competition. I have always thought that the rule that was in the past was a little unfair and needed to be changed. Now I think both the teams have equal chances of winning. And it's also more interesting to see a match when it goes to extra time and penalties. Which will happen more often under the current rule in my opinion.
