Fenerbahce had not been able to win in the European league for a long time. They defeated this bad luck in the Antwerp match. They beat Royal Antwerp 3-0 with 3 goals in the first half. Another Turkish team, Galatasaray, played a very aggressive football match and drew 1-1 with Lokomotiv Moscow.
Westham United has got my attention recently. I didn't take them seriously as usual but they are giving everyone reasons to believe that they will represent English Premier League fine. Their recent good results and position in EPL is smart and can rekindle hope.
I will not fail to watch their next fixture in Europa. I think a win should be able to push them to the next round.
Meanwhile, Liecester is not finding it easy in both Europa and Epl. I believe they will get well soon.
West Ham is a team that has surprised everyone this season with their superb form.Imagine them flog Liverpool last weekend,it showed that they are serious,determined,focused and have a target.I will not fail to watch their next fixture in Europa. I think a win should be able to push them to the next round.
Meanwhile, Liecester is not finding it easy in both Europa and Epl. I believe they will get well soon.
The team work they have in the team is really amazing.
They are a team that has gotten my attention lately,and with the form they are in,I know they will also do well in the Europa league.Lets watch out for how they will finish the Europa league,whether they will end up taking the tittle.

I, of course, will hope for a better outcome, because the Foxes are in great shape, but I'm still worried about the team's current position. Their next match in the Europa League looks like it will be against Legia, and I really want them to win it, because otherwise they will be hanging on by a thread to get out of the tournament without even playing in the playoffs.
After having this draw now situation is not good for Leicester because now their next two games are against Legia at home and Napoli away if they want to qualify for next round then they have to won both these games otherwise they will be on third spot with having qualification match against team dropped from Champions League because they will be third, so they have to play this game which could be very tough for them.Legia having some advantage as now they are second and after losing against Leicester they will drop to third but have last game at home against Moscow which give them against second position so let's watch what happen with this all in near future.

This is football Pal, unexpected results like this comes up,but the 🦊 foxes have strong mentality of fighting and coming back stronger after all of this bad results.
They will be up against Leeds United,that game can be used as a good comeback for them since Leeds United are not in much of a good form.
Plus I would not say Moscow as the "weakest" team, sure they have the least points right now, but if they won last night they would have been third or second, they are only 3 points away from the top. It is not like some horrible weak team from some small nation getting 0 points type of situation, Moscow is a good team and they are doing as well as hoped.They will be up against Leeds United,that game can be used as a good comeback for them since Leeds United are not in much of a good form.
Leicester should have still won, they are much better and have a huge finance compared to all the other teams in that group which means they should be able to get the better players and build the better roster as well. However like you said it is football and sometimes we get unexpected results, it is common.
For me, as a Leicester fan, it's a shame to watch such a game against the weakest club in the group. And this is the second such game and again against the Russian team, Spartak. Not scoring a penalty, playing a draw at home, and somehow winning 4-3 against the visitors at home (again, the weakest). Although the Foxes had some beautiful chances...
So, yesterday I was also pleased with the Napoli vs Legia match in this group. When Napoli conceded, I was puzzled - what's going on with the teams? But when they scored the 4th goal, I exhaled)

Not a great Dinamo performance, but a solid one - the result is the most important thing anyway. Their defence always manages to give away cheap goals - yesterday their offensive play managed to get them off the hook.
Genk's last minute draw with West Ham puts pressure on Dinamo to win the next game as well - a draw might not be enough for them anymore. In the last game Genk is hosting Rapid so Dinamo will want to secure qualification before going away to West Ham.

It was not a magnificent and especially high-quality match, but in matches like this, the most important result is and the game is quickly forgotten.
Petković finally played the right game, at his highest level, and Dinamo received an unexpected reinforcement in the attack, Andric.
For Rapid, that was enough, although the defense was unconvincing again, but against Genk they will have to show more.
It is obvious that the match between Dinamo and Genk will be decisive in the fight for second place in the group and Dinamo must win that match.

Galatasaray are one of the interesting teams in the tournament right now. Because they have really interesting statistics. Among the leaders of the groups, they are the least scoring team with 3 goals now. At the same time, they are the least conceding team with 1 goal also. Maybe they are not the best offensively but they are the best team defensively so far. I wonder if they will manage to keep this up in the remaining two games also.
Yet they didn't secure a place for the next round since Lazio and OM could overtake them in case Galatasaray will lose the next two games against them by the way.

Their remaining games are against Lazio (A) and Marseille (H). And they are most likely to end the group as the leader too.
Leicester City has failed to win at home again,two loss in a row at home this is not a good one for them this time around,will they be able to turn things around ?
West Ham was quite an interesting match also,the home side are the first team to score West Ham in this Europa league competition, although they sit on top of their group, chances of Finishing first is possible for them.

The two English teams failed to achieve positive results in the 4th European League match this week, but even so Westham who got a draw, are still in a fairly safe position in the standings and they only need one more win to lock up the position as group H winners , while leiceater actually had a bad run this season in the european league and even they only won 1 win which made their chances of qualifying for the next round very small, the only way for leicester now is that they must be able to get 6 points from the remaining two matches which exists for qualifying the next round.
Also a pretty lucky win for Frankfurt yesterday with that winning goal being scored in the extra time and for me Olympiakos was the better team.
Eintracht Frankfurt's win in the 90+2' just ruin my parlay! Olympiakos for sure didn't deserve to lose but should have been more concentrated and grabbed the chances that they have to score another goal. Anyway, they need a win in their next home game against Fener to secure second playoff place in Group D.

Leicester is disappointing this season in both Europa League and EPL but they still have chances (low is the truth) to qualify in the next phase. On the other hand, West Ham is a happy surprise but their Group is far easier and can't compare with Leicester's. I'm sure that if Leicester was in this group, will be first as well.

Good performance from dinamo zagreb even if they are not as strong as recent years but genk and rapid vienna are not doing good this season so next game against genk will be a crucial one and it will be for the qualification and it seems is that dinamo will qualify since i dont see how rapid vienna team will beat west ham but anything can happen in football so its better for the croatian team to get the 3 points.

I could not watch the game live yesterday and at first glance i thought that Leverkusen was totally dominating that game as they have won with 4 goals to 0 but taking a deeper look at the statistics of the match it looks like it was a way more even game than the result by itself is suggesting. Betis had the ball more often and also got 15 shots where 5 of them where at the goal, so they were also able to create some chances but they were just not as efficient as Leverkusen yesterday.
Also a pretty lucky win for Frankfurt yesterday with that winning goal being scored in the extra time and for me Olympiakos was the better team.
In football, sometimes there are matches when the score does not reflect the real picture of the game. That is, the game may be equal, but the team wins with large gaps. Betis created chances yesterday, but they simply could not convert anything, while Bayer almost every second shot on target ended in a goal. We can say that Betis was unlucky, but Bayer really played better yesterday. Also a pretty lucky win for Frankfurt yesterday with that winning goal being scored in the extra time and for me Olympiakos was the better team.
The best game for me tonight will be the Leverkusen match against the Spanish club Real Betis!! I think that the result of a tie will be suitable for both clubs, and Celtic will work to reduce the difference and get a chance to make it among the favorites to the next round!! That's why I will place my bet in favor of Celtic and draw for Betis.
I am not sure if we watched the same match, but Betis terribly lost against Leverkusen. Shortly before the end it is 4 -0 for Leverkusen. Betis had no chance at all. I didn't bet on the match, but I already saw Leverkusen as favorites after watching the club's last Bundesliga games (with the exception of the disastrous Bayern game
).Leverkusen really destroyed the calf in that match, even though from the statistics the calf continued to control the ball, but it seems that Leverkusen prefers to play effectively and even they were able to release 11 shoot on target, with this victory now solidifying Leverkusen position at the top of the standings with 10 points, and they are three points clear of Real Betis in second place at the moment, but unfortunately the perfect win was tarnished a bit by an incident that occurred in the last minute of the match and forced the referee to give two red cards to players of both teams.

Yesterday was a draw day! 
Almost all the matches I bet on ended in a draw (Galatasaray, Leicester, West Ham, Lazio)... 7 matches out of 16, i.e. almost half of them ended in a draw! By the way, I have noticed that there are far fewer draws in the Champions League than in the Europa League!
