Dortmund have the most chances to win the title. However, if Barcelona can beat Napoli to advance to the next round, it will be difficult to stop Barcelona. However, Dortmund will easily win against the Rengers. Dortmund will have no problem getting to the next round. However, winning against Napoli or Barcelona will be challenging.

With current form look like Dortmund is surely hot favorite for this title but still we are missing few teams like Sevilla and Porto these are also having good potential for winning this title, but first we have to check about Barcelona and Napoli match because it's also very important for this year's title with Barcelona is losing ground in La Liga and this is very good chance for them to go through into Champions League as winning this cup.

But, we all have own views for ground results we have to wait for some long time after this all will be clear who is going to winner for this prestigious cup in 2022. West Ham is also in good shape and can go through into last 4 for something special in this cup with their current form.

One of the teams that I'm curious about what they will do in this tournament from now on are Dortmund. They are definitely one of the favourite teams for winning the Europa League title. I didn't like their performance in the Champions League too much. But in this tournament, they can have a big chance for the title as long as they keep a good form. Actually, Dortmund don't need to win this tournament to be able to join the CL. Because they are already comfortable in the Bundesliga about qualifying for the CL. But we are still talking about a title in the end and Dortmund might want to reach it.

I also have the same thoughts as you, Dortmund's chances of winning the UEFA Europe League title are huge. Their first match will be against Rangers at Signal Iduna Park, there is still plenty of time for both teams to prepare before the match. The favourites are still Dortmund, but I won't underestimate Rangers.

Whichever club is in the european league right now, is the best club club that represents their respective football competition, although on paper dortmund is superior but i personally will not underestimate the rangers, if you look at dortmund performance this season both in the league and Europe, to be honest dortmund is very inconsistent in its game and it is very difficult to predict the results of the dortmund match even though they face a team that is smaller than them, in my opinion it is most likely that the rangers will surprise dortmund in the match later

Napoli really have a bigger level of performance than Barcelona now. And it must push Barcelona to work harder to get well-prepared for the matchup in the Europa League. They have no luxury to underestimate any of their opponents now. They are already struggling and things will get worse for them if they don't do something about it immediately. They need to improve their results in their domestic league firstly.

I hope that Napoli really came out of the crisis, but it's too early to say about it - they won only one serious match after a long unsuccessful streak. But in any case, this meeting will take place only in mid-February - by that time a lot may have changed, but I suppose that both clubs will rather be busy with business inside the home championships and will not focus on the Europa League.

Until the qualifiers, both teams will concentrate on the league. Also, the transfer season will come in between. Clubs can sign new players. Injuries can heal. Both teams will show their full strength. For some reason, I feel that the team that will pass the tour will be Napoli.

In this pair I believe more in going further Barcelona provided they have a couple of good transfers. Barcelona is able to add in the course of the season as they have a good coach Xavi whose handwriting is still very poorly visible since there are no worthy players for his game.
Napoli is now fighting for the championship and if such a fight will continue until the match with Barça then I don't think that priority will be given to this match.

Yes Napoli has just beaten Milan in an away game so that is a real calibre Barcelona will be dealing with. Playing against Barcelona in the Europa League, you really have nothing to lose. All the pressure is on Barcelona. If they want to save the season in the slightest, the only chance they have is to win this title.

And I think that this season, it's Barcelona that needs a good result in the Europa League, otherwise they will have one of the worst times in their history.
In Spain, they are not even in a position to allow access to European competitions. Of course that will change for sure, but things are a bit complicated.

I think it comes real down to whether or not the Barcelona players can get used to the fact that they are playing Europa League and not Champions League. Especially players like Jordi Alba or Pique may have a hard time to motivate themselves to give their very best as it is a brand new situation for them. Maybe it is even good that their opponent is Napoli so it doesn't feel that bad.

As right now Barcelona is struggling badly in La Liga they need to go ahead strongly with this because if their players give their best then surely they can win this title and having spot in next season's Champion League very easily otherwise they need to do some very hard task for having spot in Champions League next year with currently staying in 7th rank with chance of dropping at 8th because their next match is against inform Sevilla which already beat Atlético Madrid at home and now can beat them at home without any serious trouble.

But, no one can give his prediction about these matches as Napoli is also having very good form after losing few points now they are also back on winning track and can beat any good team on their day.

I'm excited about the Barcelona vs Napoli draw the most. It is really going to be like a Europa League final match. Until that time, I wonder if these teams both will keep a good form and boost their morale as much as possible. If we consider the current look of the teams, Barcelona are one step behind Napoli. Because they don't seem very reliable by their game. But this could change in time if they make a big effort.

I myself expected it but it seems this variant of the omicron is more vicious than imagined.
If we look at there are several in the EPL team who are indeed affected by this virus and the worst thing now is Tottenham Hotspur.
In addition, other domestic leagues cannot be calm because there are indeed several teams in other top leagues who are affected by this.

What I've been wondering all this time is how can a new virus variant develop quite rapidly, even though it can be said that many countries in the world are still implementing very strict health protocols for the community?
I hope that what happened to the players and staff of tottenham and other clubs can be resolved soon, because if this new variant of the virus spreads widely, of course this season we will see the competition stop, so far football clubs have implemented health protocols and of course this needs to be returned improved so that no more players or staff are infected with the virus.

this may have happened because there were already several matches held with supporters on the pitch.
even if they strictly enforce the protocol, there are still one or two that are not well-netted.
on the other hand many people who already feel free from this virus and confidently without protection go to the stadium.
I hope this will be over soon and hopefully the other matches won't be disturbed

I agree with the people who think that coronavirus can be a big threat to the tournaments like the Europa League too. There is still a long time for the games actually. But we don't know where this terrible situation will come to an end. I hope that we can watch the Europa League games properly also. I'm really looking forward to watching both games of the Barcelona - Napoli matchup.

We have some good things that no other country is facing trouble with this just England is having some dramatic rise in cases and its just because of their overconfidence policies which bring them back on verge of shut down because record number of cases reported which is not good sign all other countries still having very hard rules about SOP's, so they are in better shape lets check now how they handle this all because now they have some good time for handling this all and bringing back some hard policies for better results otherwise another shut down is going to kill small businesses and many other peoples living in middle-class and lower class because this is not easy to handle this all in current situation.

Covid-19 started taking control of football again. There are already some players who are trying to get well because of getting covid-19. And there are so many matches currently to be postponed. I wonder if the situation can be under control until the European tournaments continue from they left. Otherwise, we could see many games to be postponed in the Europa League and the other big tournaments also.

Covid19 again having some big troubles for many clubs in England because they were happy with vaccination, but now they already did with just because of their soft policies as suddenly having some serious problems for them as many matches are postponed with too many players positive with this which is really matter of worry other countries are doing some better and having closed doors for fans and some stick rules for players are good as they are doing some better but here it is really starting as a big trouble because in next few days if it increases like this then maybe they all forced to play behind closed doors or having again suspension because safety always first, and now we have next world cup in winter which is also issued, so let's watch how they manage this all now.

It will be interesting to see how all these international games will be handled if Omikron really hits as hard as some of the prediction models suggest right now. If that is the case, it probably isn't even possible to play those games on neutral grounds as the teams aren't allowed to return to their countries and just keep on training and playing like normal. That's going to be a rough couple of months in early 2022.

I'm not used to seeing Barcelona in the european league, but it is what it is. In principle they have about two months to prepare for the match, maybe something will work out with a new coach, but we have to look closer to the case will be. So far I still see it as a favorite, despite the relatively good form of Napoli.

everything is still possible, now it's up to the players and their new coach whether they really want to do a little extra to be able to at least make up for the losses when they lose and get knocked out in the UCL.
because indeed 2 months can be used as a turning point and they will definitely look more different with the addition of players who do have to rest because of the injury storm

Well, I think they will not have to get used to the new coach, they will be on the same wave, because not so long ago the coach himself ran in a Barcelona uniform on the field, but some new tactics may have to get used to, but excuse me, this is soccer, there is always need to invent new tactics, otherwise you can not play great. I can't say that all two months will be spent exclusively on preparing to the Europa League matches, there will be everything together
