Tricky matches to predict in Europa league and I expect to see some surprise results.
West Ham secured first place in their group and they are coming out with mixed squad resting out many players, so we can see draw or even away win for Dinamo Zagreb.

The main problem with predictions in the europa league is that the teams have no obvious motivation to participate in this tournament, at least it is not a priority. If we compare it with the Champions League (where even the first and second places in the groups were actually distributed in strict accordance with the strengths of the teams), then the situation in the Europa League is simply chaotic.

To be honest, I can't see Leicester taking more than 1 point today. As you said, Napoli is in very good shape, and in front of their fans will be pressing undoubtedly from the start. An early goal will make Leicester very anxious to score and their defence will be vulnerable to Napoli's attackers to score another. IMO over 2.5 it's a good bet and will fix your luck. Wink

Napoli is not in good shape. They are not. They were defeated by Atalanta last weekend in Serie A. They have some star players who were injured and have yet recovered or been ready for this match. In other words, they are in most difficult time since beginning of season.

Last but not least, I don't feel that Napoli consider Europa League as their priority in this season. They are spending more resources and concentration in Serie A. With this approach and current injury conditions of star players, Napoli will not begin this match against Leicester City with intention to win. Leicester City can beat Napoli because they are too good at counter attack.

Indeed there is a very big chance to see a draw, not sure about a win though. Personally, I will go for the draw and both to score. Tongue

It will be tough for Leicester to keep that spot in Napoli since Napoli is in very good form and I am sure they will score a couple of goals on their own turf. Leicester will have to match them in order to progress so my bet goes on goals, more specifically on both to score.

Could be a lot of strange results in other games since lot of teams are playing for nothing. Maybe goals could be good bets but I will skip them, no luck for me in Europa League usually so just picking one game for now.

Losing or winning now means nothing to Westham but it means a lot to Dynamo Zagreb who still have to secure at least a draw in this match.
and they can't lose this match because Genk still has a chance to secure second place if they lose to Westham in this match.
I think this will be quite exciting where Dinamo will definitely play hard in this match.

Today is a big day for Leicester and Napoli. We see them fighting for their way to the next round of the tournament. Leicester are in a little better situation as they are the leader and one point ahead. Leicester must keep their big advantage by not losing this game. Because it is going to be enough for them as they would end this stage at the second position in the worst case. And I think they will succeed in this.

Group C seems to be the tightest group because all teams still have the potential to qualify for the next round at the same time, this match will be decisive
One of my favorite is Napoli I think they have a chance of course have to win in this match and Legia Warszawa have a chance to take 2nd place I see Legia Warszawa is very aggressive when playing at home.

Real Sociedad have a very difficult success to achieve tonight. Because they are following PSV by two point behind and their only choice is to win this game. There is no other chance for them. As PSV are going to be deprived of some of their starting eleven players, maybe Real Sociedad can take advantage of it. It is really hard to predict which side can win. It is safer to bet on both teams to score I guess.

One of the decider matches today is Real Sociedad v PSV. Currently, PSV are two point ahead of Real Sociedad and they are at the second place. Real Sociedad have no other choice than winning this match. And PSV have many players missing at the same time. And their previous head-to-head match ended 2-2. Consequently, my expectation is that Real Sociedad will get at least a draw.

It looks like Real Sociedad have been under pressure which resulted in their performance falling, because what I realized earlier Real Sociedad looked good in La Liga as well as in UEL. But nearing the end of the last match of the group stage Real Sociedad did not look fine, now even though Real Sociedad are playing at home but that does not guarantee Real Sociedad will win. Because after all, PSV only needed a draw and that was enough for PSV to lock up the second place. But yes, even though in my view Real Sociedad seems to have no hope of qualifying, but on the one hand I also believe Real Sociedad will certainly give their all and will try to win. Therefore, I personally do not believe the result will be a draw because with a competition like this it is very possible that one of them will win.

^ Real Sociedad should win this match against PSV and move up in the group to second place. They are not having a good run in the recent past but I think this match they will try their hardest and should win this match. In the Europa League, they are not doing too bad, to be honest, but in La Liga, it's another story. They have lost their last four league matches. That has made everyone question their ability to be consistent in their matches and that's why there Good be some doubt about this match but I do believe that this is going to be a win for Real Sociedad.

On behalf of other football loving fans all over the world, we welcome Barcelona to Europa league. I am very happy to welcome Barcelona into the Thursday football. It will be a great pleasure having them around this beautiful competition. The last time Barcelona were ousted from the Champions League this early was 2000-01, when the Europa League was still known as the UEFA Cup. Barcelona are going to have to change a lot to stand any chance of going far before talking of winning the Europa League. Because they could face strong teams like West Ham, Borussia Dortmund, Real Sociedad, one of Atalanta or Villarreal, Sevilla, RB Leipzig, Real Betis and countless others.

If you do not hold your performance to a high standard, nothing is permanent. Following Wednesday's 3-0 loss at Bayern Munich, Barcelona's 17-year streak of reaching the knockout rounds of the Champions League came to an end. There are already several heavyweight teams in the Europa League, so Barcelona's task is not easy.

Xavi, coach of Barcelona: “We start a new era, from zero, from here”

I see no reason to think that Barcelona will win the Europa League title. There are strong teams like Dortmund in the Europa League. Dortmund's forward lineup will break the Barcelona defense as did Bayern Munich's players. My guess is that Barcelona may be able to reach the semi-finals of the Europa League.

Out of interest, what does "btts" mean?

I guess that he means "both teams to score". By the way, I'm also feeling closer to Galatasaray today. Even if they don't beat Lazio in Italy, they can draw with them. Even losing by one goal is for the disadvantage of Galatasaray. Because they are going to be equal considering the head-to-head matches. And in this case, the goal average is going to be taken into account. And Lazio will have one more goal average than Galatasaray in that case.

The match between Lazio and Galatasaray could be competitive. Galatasaray are top of the table with 11 points from 5 matches. And Lazio is 3 points behind them. Galatasaray have won two of their last four matches. Lazio won a match. Today's match is Lazio's home match. It looks like Lazio will win 1-0, otherwise there is a possibility of a draw.

I also see Galatasaray as the favorite in the match. From the squad Lazio should be the better team, but the past games nationally and internationally have shown that Galatasaray has the better run. And the odds for a win by Gala are 5.7. Either bet directly on a win or make Double Chance for 2.6. Both very good odds.

I really hope West Ham will rotate heavily today. They have nothing to play for and they have a small core of players so Moyes will hopefully look to give them a rest.
Genk will probably win against Rapid so Dinamo needs a point. Their recent performances have been horrible against much weaker opposition, so they will hope that West Ham will not take the game seriously.

Even if they do progress from the group today, the standard they have been playing at is inadequate - so they will have to improve drastically to have any chance of further progression.

West Ham had better rotate today. Because they have already guaranteed being the leader and they have an EPL game by only a two-day interval. And this means that Dinamo Zagreb will have a big opportunity to consolidate their place and carry themselves to the next round of the EL. Genk must win and hope for Dinamo Zagreb to lose to West Ham. But it doesn't seem very likely to me.

Slava Ukraini!

Plenty of interesting games on last round. Napoli - Leicester looks most interesting. I'm backing Napoli there. This season Foxes look poor on away games and they don't have some players because of Covid.
Legia - Spartak game looks tricky. I think that Spartak is better team in general and if odds will he somewhat decent, I'll pick Spartak not to loose.
Real Sociedad - PSV. Sociedad is clearly favoured by bookmakers, I don't know why. Their recent results don't look good at all.
West Ham - Dinamo Zagreb. I avoid betting on West Ham today. They have guaranteed 1st place, while Dinamo still can't be confident. Especially if Genk will win against Rapid
