I'm betting on English clubs to win UEFA Europa League this year. See Arsenal in semi final, Slavia Prag is easy opponent for them. They have nothing in league so winning UEFA Europa League will get them a Champions League qualification ticket.
Manchester United can eliminate Granada, this is one of regular clubs in Spain. It's not as hard as Sevilla or Valencia. Manchester United is waaaaay better than Granada. Easy semi final for English clubs.

You are right, EPL teams will play against relatively easy opponents. Slavia Praha and Granada are not strong opponents. Arsenal and Manchester United will win easily. But the other two matches, Axax vs Roma is a very strong team. It will be a very exciting and competitive match. Dinamo Zagreb and Villareal are two teams of almost the same quality. This match will also be very exciting.

I also think that some English club will win the Europa League. Still, it turned out that it was an average club and a very strong one. The British clubs have a better chance to win because they have a stronger championship and more intensity in the game. Although, as we saw Dinamo Zagreb did not prevent the great intensity of Tottenham to win it. They are far behind and I am not sure that they will pass Villarreal. However, anything can happen.

In my opinion, maybe a team from EPL will win the title (Manchester is most likely to win the title) and if not, Roma or Ajax will win the title. I want to keep Ajax and Manchester United ahead.

Indeed, judging by the players, I think MU is the favorite to win. But remember the ball is round, anything can happen. We can't guess right, remember Granada beat Napoli (this team I think is good). For that I think Solskejaer still has to be serious in preparing himself so as not to lose to Granada. Solskejaer must be smart in rotating players because a busy schedule can add to the injury list.

Yeah, It is right. Anything can be happen. Manchester have to be very careful, if they make a mistake in the match it won't take long for the result to change.

Hey it seems you are not a very "lucky guy" ILuckyGuyI actually , because you're wrong again in your predictions Grin

1. Granada CF - Manchester United
~snip~

I think a lot of people are betting that MU will win against Granada. After winning against Milan, MU is the favorite to win the Europa League this time. Keep in mind Granada are a new team in the Europa League. The history of the match until the quarter-finals they beat Napoli. So I think United still have to be careful because Granada can make a surprise. They have to be really serious if they want to get trophies this season. Although they still have a chance to win the EPL and FA Cup.

It is a lucky draw for Manchester United only on the newspaper headlines; But in reality, Manchester United have the most job to do; they will be facing a new team new to the competition and debuting in a quarter final clash; I expect Granada to give their all; and importantly "a fully fit Manchester United squad" would get the job done.

I don't think Man United will underestimate whoever the opponent is, and of course, they will also make an all-out effort to get through to the semifinals. This European league is one of the opportunities for Man United to be able to get a trophy, so they shouldn't waste that opportunity.

I agree that Manchester United are lucky that the next opponent will be Granada, it is very likely that Manchester United will have no trouble
facing Granada.

Man United can be happy about draw, Granada is probably opponent that everyone wanted to get.
Can Slavia kick out Arsenal? I think it's pair where we can search for upset. As I said many times already, Slavia is one of the underrated teams, but they play great football. While, Arsenal is Arsenal, you never can trust them Cheesy

.
Ajax - Roma, most interesting pair, it's difficult to predict something there.
Dinamo - Villarreal. Yellow submarines is obvious favorites, but I wouldn't write-off Dinamo completely.

I agree that Manchester United are lucky that the next opponent will be Granada, it is very likely that Manchester United will have no trouble

than Slavia Prague. Then Ajax vs Roma is the most interesting match, because both teams are good and I admit it is difficult to predict which team
will qualify for the next round. But I prefer Ajax who will qualify for the next round, seeing Ajax's game which is much more effective in attacking
and defending.

And lastly I also prefer Villarreal who are more favorites, even though Dinamo Zagreb surprisingly beat Tottenham. But maybe Dinamo Zagreb was
lucky to beat Tottenham, but Villarreal must be careful when dealing with Dinamo Zagreb. Learn from Tottenham mistakes never underestimate
the opponents, even though the first leg had won.

I wouldn't be so sure that Villarreal is such a big favorite and that they will definitely win against Dinamo.
The same clubs met 9 years ago, at a time when Dinamo was weaker and Villarreal a stronger club and the match ended in victory for Dinamo.
Here’s a little reminder of that game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omte9xJyInc
Villarreal is not playing well in the Spanish championship while Dinamo is in excellent condition and the players are full of confidence, so I think everything is open in this match.

I agree with you. We shouldn't take it for granted that Villarreal can surely eliminate Dinamo Zagreb here. First of all as I said before, D. Zagreb achieved a huge success against Tottenham in the last round. They literally browbeated with their huge comeback and eliminating Tottenham. Villarreal's job will be really really hard and they shouldn't underestimate D. Zagreb if they really want to continue in the EL.

Current odds offered by Betnomi

Numbers on Slavia and Granada are tempting. I'll probably throw $5 each just because of the odds. Many people here are favoring both English teams to progress (and that's easy to see) but my gut tells me one of them will fall Grin

The other two matches have goods odds as well. Maybe Villareal and Roma will progress.

I think that there is no intrigue in the Europa League. Manchester United and Arsenal will most likely play in the final, or Manchester United and Villarreal. I don't think a sensation is possible here, like Granada or Dynamo Zagreb.

All the the EPL clubs opponents are not strong enough to scale through to the semi-final except an upset is created this is a good opportunity for Arsenal to play in the next season UCL if they win the Europa cup while Man Utd had an easy draw playing a less formidable club like Grenada a club that doesn't have any track records in all European competitions and It is quite interesting that 5 EPL clubs are in both UCL. and Europa league.

Underrated Slavia is solely due to the league they are coming from that is Czech Republic but then, they are champions there and with the level of bad play with EPL teams, I won't be so care free when playing against a contender like Slavia.

On the Ajax and AS Roma game, I can easily base my predictions in favour of Ajax. These guys are often about business when it comes to there games, they do there best upto the final whistle unlike the AS Roma team. I like the Italian side very much but, they could be unserious at times.

Manchester United surprised me to have won AC Milan yesterday. It was a thing of pride for Paul Pogba, to have scored the only winning goal.

Milan-Manchester Utd was the toughest draw of 1/8-finals and Manchester Utd managed to be victorious with a 1-0 score and have advanced to the quarter finals. But the match was a very competitive one though. Ibrahimovic bounced back three days ago finally after having tear in the abductor muscle for 16 days. And I would expect him to enter the game earlier than the 65th minute. Maybe things could have been different than this then, who knows. And it was really awesome to see Pogba scored the goal that has brought the quarter finals to his team right after 3 minutes he entered the game. It was really dramatic too that he scored a goal in an important game after getting injured and not being able to play for 10 matches.

And I'd like to share my predictions for the quarter finals draws:

Ajax - Slavia Prague
Manchester Utd - Villarreal
Arsenal - Granada
Roma - D. Zagreb

I'd also like to add that I was really shocked by Tottenham getting eliminated by D. Zagreb. I expected them to fight for the title as they are having a bad season in the EPL.

Hey it seems you are not a very "lucky guy" ILuckyGuyI actually , because you're wrong again in your predictions Grin

1. Granada CF - Manchester United
2. Arsenal FC - SK Slavia Praha
3. AFC Ajax - AS Roma
4. GNK Dinamo - Villareal CF

The winner of the quarter-final 1 will face the winner of the quarter final 3 and the winner of the quarter final 4 will play against the winner of the quarter final 2.

Yeah, I wasn't lucky on this as I wasn't also for the CL draws. Grin

Anyway, I'm pretty sure about Arsenal and Manchester Utd will be advancing to the semi finals. But Ajax-Roma and D. Zagreb-Villarreal draws both are hard to predict. For Ajax-Roma, I feel closer to Roma will be making it. For D. Zagreb-Villarreal, I think it could be the end for D. Zagreb in this round despite eliminating Tottenham.

Of all the matches that have already played for me, the most unexpected result was Dynamo Zargeb - Tottenham. I could not even imagine that they could play like that. And all the rest were quite expected results. It would have been interesting to watch them in the future.

Believe me, but we (Croatians) were also not expecting this. But Dinamo has had sparks of success like this that lead to nowhere in the end. Too much turbulence in the club itself, constant leadership and coaching changes, and a constant player fluctuation may take its toll for Dinamo to be consistent on this.

Funny to hear that even crotians didn't expected something like this, hell I am pretty sure even Zagreb fans didn't expected this, and I can go one more level higher and say that many of the clubs personal (staff or players) didn't expected it neither. It looks as if this was just out of nowhere and it really does feel a bit weird but I still think it is quite possible for any team to beat any team and that is why I was happy to see this.

I am sure that after such a horrible year in premier league and a horrible year in europe, next year there will be a lot of changes in Spurs for sure. Wouldn't be shocked if they fire Mourinho and sell Kane and Son as well, they worth money now and if they keep playing the way they do, eventually those players will be too old and not worth any money whereas they will have nothing to show for it, might as well at least get money for it.

A worthy opponent in Ac Milan. But, Man United won, AC Milan lose. I admire Paul Pogba playing style. No doubt. he is important in the team.
AC Milan knocked out of the Europa League by Man United but they had a promising season. It's heart breaking for AC Milan and not expected.

There is still next season and Milan will return to play at UCL it is a great achievement for Milan. Anyway, losing and winning are commonplace so yes, Milan are still not good enough at this opportunity as I only realize both teams are improving this season but unfortunately, United can do better.
