I am not convinced in Arsenal this year and I think there is value in betting on Slavia Prague to qualify or some asian handicap on them and even if Slavia loses this match it will not be with more than one goal and draw is very possible.
Both teams are missing some players and Arsenal will be without important Aubameyang, Luiz, Odegaard and Tierney but Saka and Smith Rowe will be in starting eleven.
I am expecting Manchester to qualify much easier against Granada insecond match.

I misjudged this tie too lol; but it ended up that Slavia Prague are missing players due to injury or suspension; and Arsenal easily are 3 goals up at half time; can there be a turnaround for Slavia Prague in the second half? Manchester United are a goal up at half time, and 3 goals up in aggregrate; and i think they are already through to the knock out rounds too. Roma has the edge in Ajax vs Roma; While Villareal 2 goals up at half time is also through to face Arsenal in the semi finals.

Half time results:

AS Roma 0:0 Ajax
Manchester Utd 1:0 Granada CF
Slavia Prague 0:3  Arsenal
Villarreal 2:0 D. Zagreb

Prague dominated indeed. I'm thinking of placing simple MLs on all three underdogs tonight

So did you end up making this bet? I hope you dont lol. I know the 5x odds was really tempting and I took it lol. Ikr Arsenal will be trying to win in the 2nd leg but was expecting this match to be another close match like the 1st leg but it turns out to be a nightmare for slavia

Although both teams have same chance to pass + Slavia playing home, bookies have another say:
Slavia @5 - Arsenal @1.72
Are we missing something? I believe Arsenal will win but the odds are weird!

The odds was huge considering that the score was 1-1 in the 1st leg and I took it without any hesitation lol and now it seems that I must pay the price for this



A small bet but definitely sucks when you lose ( actually this cost me another parlay slip that consist of Manchester United, Slavia and Ajax ML lol )

You wrongly judged Arsenal, they seem to be comfortable to night against slavia Prague, with a three goal gap

Well considering the 1st leg was 1-1, alot of people seems to be backing Slavia this time and I think it's quite reasonable

I think Arsenal would be at the final match of the tournament.

I'll be glad if this happens. Manchester United would dominate Arsenal for sure

It looks like Arsenal have already destroyed Slavia Prague in the first half, 3-0. I was expecting Arsenal to finish the job here but I must admit that I wasn't expecting them to finish Slavia in the first half already.  Grin  So, the result of the first leg shouldn't mislead you as Arsenal are a PL team and they are way more powerful team than Slavia normally. I know also that D. Zagreb managed to eliminate one of the EPL teams but I didn't have an expectation from Slavia to do the same.

You wrongly judged Arsenal, they seem to be comfortable to night against slavia Prague, with a three goal gap and it's not half time yet, I think they have not been the optimal Arsenal this season especially in the English premier league, a win today and several loses to follow it has been a summary of their league performance, but in the Europa league there is this concentration in the team, and they are getting through with it, I think Arsenal would be at the final match of the tournament.

And also, Slavia Prague has been underestimated a lot in the past. They are complicated to play against. They seem like a no name but never lose like 5 - 0 against English or Spanish teams. They always compete heavily with whomever they face.

Same will happen this time I agree.
Yes, I just don't want to be swayed by big names for now, just considering the first leg matches and seeing their dominance in their respective leagues. However, I do realize that the English Premier League and the league in the Czech Republic (1.Liga) seem to have a real degree of difference. But I believe that will not be a barrier for Slavia Prague to qualify.

Playing at home without any spectator or supporter is no advantage personally the game is 50:50 Arsenal also has the opportunity to score goals in Prague,  invariably any of the two team can qualify however I bet on Arsenal to qualify based on the quality of the side and  and the numerous scoring chances they missed at Emirates in the first leg while Man Utd is also expected to qualify too.
Yes, I realize that but for the moment Arsenal's quality is not well, of course it will give these two teams a chance to win and qualify. Therefore, I am personally confident to keep betting on Slavia Prague to qualify. Speaking of Man Utd, I bet on United to win.

Although both teams have same chance to pass + Slavia playing home, bookies have another say:
Slavia @5 - Arsenal @1.72
Are we missing something? I believe Arsenal will win but the odds are weird!
Villarreal and ManU odds are small and not interesting.
Roma @2.9 - Ajax @2.28, everyone is waiting for a payback from Ajax Wink
We didn't miss anything and you are right about the odds, but if I consider it from the previous match then the odds are not a guarantee for the team on paper to win easily. Therefore, I dare to go against the majority.
I bet Villarreal Under 3, Roma BTtS, United win and Slavia Prague to qualify

Slavia Prague - Arsenal I bet on Slavia Prague to qualify.
I am confident in winning this bet, although maybe some say Arsenal will still go through but I'm just not sure about that. Capitalizing on the draw in the first leg with away goals, then Slavia Prague should be able to take advantage of this result in the second leg and playing at home will certainly be an advantage for him.

Which teams do you think will advance to the semi-finals? I think Manchester United, Ajax, Villarreal, and Arsenal will be able to reach the semi-finals. Granada is not a strong opponent for Manchester United. They will easily win the match. Although Ajax lost 2-1 to Roma in the previous match, I think they will be able to come back very well today. I'm a little confused about the Arsenal team. They drew the previous match. Yet in this match, I am putting Arsenal ahead.
ajax? are you sure!
this time Roma vs Ajax will take place at the Olympic stadium, which is Rome's home. very confident that Roma will exert full strength against Ajax. a thin score will definitely create in this match, 1-0 possibility for Rome's victory.

Why not? Ajax is still a good team (if you watched the first leg then you know what I mean).
Ajax was unlucky on the 1st leg, they dominated the game but failed to score more goals (even a missed penalty kick by Tadic).
Both team still has the same chance although AS Roma has more advantages than Ajax.

Slavia looked solid in first game and I think they are capable to eliminate Arsenal.
The first leg draw at home was not safe enough for the arsenal to qualify for the next round, they must win at Slavia, if they want to qualify. Slavia have the advantage on away goals, a draw has already made them into the semifinals. Slavia have a good defense, their two forwards are also good Jan Kuchta and Abdallah Dipo Sima, they have to be guarded closely if the arsenal wants to win.

I think the Slavia Prague vs Arsenal tie will be the most interesting game here as the red and white have lost just once in their last 10 European games but the Gunners are expected to offer them a tough challenge. Although both teams will be without some key players due to injuries. The Gunners will have to register some goals to advance to the next round of the competition, they’ll be without both David Luiz and Kieran Tierney who have knee injuries. Also assessments will determine whether Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Martin Odegaard will feature tonight.
This is the most interesting and competitive match of this round of Europa League. Although Arsenal seems a bit stronger. But I think both teams are almost equally strong. Slavia Praha played much better in the previous match. Anything can happen in today's match. I will not bet on this match. I will just enjoy today's match.

Slavia Prague will host for Arsenal and this time it wouldn't be an easy game for the gunners as Prague are in a good form both on.

It would be difficult think that Arsenal could lose this game, but Praga is playing very well and deserves respect for having eliminated very good teams and made it to the quarterfinals.

Arsenal needs to score a goal anyway and I believe that they will be press from the first minutes, but even if they do, will need to hold the game because Praga is a persistent team that can be score goals and "turns the game" in the last minutes.

It will be an exciting game, but I'll not risk betting this time Tongue

There's a lot of underestimation for the Czeck side they are definitely going will fight for a ticket to the semi-finals and might remain undefeated. So I think this match will see either side will not be keeping a clean sheet.
I also expect to see Both Teams scoring in Roma vs Ajax as both teams have been clinical in front of the oppositions’ net this season and neither of the sides managed to keep the clean sheet in their previous three encounters so I think things will continue.

On like the UCL and the turn out of event, the Europa is going to take an interesting angle towards the teams that would be qualifying for the semi finals. The first leg didn't come out with any vividly disturbing result except for the Manchester United match against Granada that ended in a Granada 0-2 Manchester United which would be very difficult for Granada to attempt a come back. On the rest of the games, a come back is a likely possibility.  Especially in the case of Ajax Vs AS Roma.  It would be Roma at home this time but then, Ajax is a good team and they would be giving this game all they've got. Another team out for an interesting play is Arsenal vs Slavia Prague though, I still ebet on Arsenal to win that game.

Given the results of the first leg of the quarterfinals i disagree with you on two of your predictions. I think that slavia praha will advance against arsenal. Even though they won against sheffield last weekend i still think that they are not consistent enough in this season to make two good games in a row and therefore i put praha in front here. ManU vs Granada is a done in my opinion and Manchester will have no problem to advance.
I don't think though that Ajax will make a comeback today against Roma. Both teams are equally strong and Roma has the advantage of the away win in the first leg, so they are my clear favorite here.

I agree with you, it will be really difficult for Ajax and Roma will defend well. Ajax would have to score an early goal and also a happy game, then the promotion for Ajax could be possible. As an underdog, Praha clearly has good chances for promotion, but Arsenal are making an excellent game.

I expect Manchester United, Villarreal, Roma and maybe Arsenal to qualify to the next round of the competition. Granada isn’t a threat. This is their very first European presence so I don’t expect much. Ajax lost at home to Roma in the first leg giving the Giallorossi an edge to the second leg. Although I’m not ruling out a comeback from them, but Roma have been solid at home lately.
