I don't think west ham can beat lyon team easily despite lyon struggle on the ligue 1 they showed good performance in europa league and beating porto is no easy task porto is a serious opponent and they are used to play in the champions league against big european teams i think lyon will be the surprise of this tournament.

There are many unexpected results in the Europa League because the favorite teams often underestimate outsiders and do not have a serious attitude. In addition, in the initial stages of the tournament, basically everyone is busy with the domestic championship and the Europa League is not a priority. Now in the last stages when the title is very close, I think that surprises will be rare and the favorites will win more convincing victories.

Many unexpected result actually when Sevilla have eliminating early were as commonly team dominance on UEFA Europe League, I think on quarter final round all club keep priority this competition as final decision and try to be the winner, actually several participants on UEFA Europe League out from 4th standing position except Barcelona, Leipzig, Braga and Ranger bit another team not getting chance to finish on 4th place. I think chance by winning UEFA Europe League they will got ticket spot automatically to champion league next season.

The Europa League Cup is a title that has never been woning in the history of Barca, it is natural that Barcelona puts the Europa League title in the first position as a trophy that must be woning by Barcelona. Another reason is that Xavi Hernandez team is almost impossible to win the La Liga title because Barca is far behind Real Madrid.
Making it to the quarter-finals of the Europa League is a great achievement for Barcelona after being doubtful in this competition.
Now that Barcelona is close to reaching their goal with Xavi, they must finish the match against Eintracht Frankfurt with a win in 2 Legs to advance to the semi-finals. I also want to see Barcelona against West Ham in the semi-finals, because previously West Ham had also eliminated another Spanish representative (Sevilla) in the round of 16.

Given the fact that this tournament is new, this is the first participation of Barcelona in general, and of course they do not have titles here. If we consider this tournament as the successor to the UEFA Cup, then Barcelona won it several times, by the way, we can say quite recently - in 1997. And I see no point in discussing Barcelona's prospects for winning La Liga, they are close to zero.

Beside have Barcelona as favorite team for winning UEFA Europe League I think not wrong predicting to favorite as West Ham United for the candidate to be winner on Europe League competition. Last come back on 2nd leg defeated Sevilla I think become the reason why have to choose West Ham United for the winner. I think most easy against with Lyon on quarter final than hard achievement when defeating Sevilla on last 1 round. I think between 1st and 2nd leg looks easy for West Ham United to defeat Lyon and could winning above two goals.

West Ham have shown good performances in the English Premier League and Europa League this season, their consistent performance under David Moyes coaching allowed them to reach the quarter-finals by defeating favorites team Sevilla, Westham ability to get rid of the six-time Europa League title winner certainly surprised many people and make their a strong candidate to become the champion of the european league this season besides barcelona, now westham journey in the european league is relatively easier because they will face lyon who are in bad form in the league, besides that from head to head of the two teams so far, westham have a pretty good home record when playing in the european league and they only conceded once when playing at the London Stadium, while lyon have never won against westham in an away match, westham performance which is inversely proportional to lyon of course makes westham the favorite in that match and I think westham will be able to beat lyon with score 3-1.

West Ham are definitely among the title contenders now. But here is the thing. There will be a draw between the favourite teams of the title next round in case West Ham and Barcelona both get past their opponents without problem. One of them isn't going to be able to reach the final in the Europa League as a result. And in this kind of a situation, I would be really curious about which team would make it. Most people would like to find out the answer to this and we will most probably figure it out as they are likely to play against each other.

The match between west ham vs. Lyon in the semi-finals of the European league will probably get a lot of attention, because whoever of them wins, they will most likely meet Barca in the semifinals, but I personally think that West Ham has a chance to advance to the semifinals and able to beat Lyon.

It could be like that because the two teams are now because from anywhere the two teams are quite balanced and one of the two clubs winning in this match I think will give something good to see in the next round because it will most likely be the strongest challenger for Barcelona .
I personally would like to see West ham be there but it seems for now with the decline in form Westham are very difficult to compete even if they win against Lyon

Yes, even though West Ham looks good, Barcelona's quality is still better. Perhaps the peak was when Xavi managed to give victory in yesterday's El Clásico, this victory certainly boosted the morale of the players even higher and it was very important to make Barcelona more consistent. It's a great achievement for Barcelona themselves despite only being in the Europa League, because they can make improvements not only in one tournament but Xavi can really deliver good results in La Liga and here in the Europa League at the same time.

You're right, the improved form has given Barcelona more hope of winning the Europa League title this season. The condition of the Barcelona dressing room is now much livelier than the previous few seasons, it is the manager's greatest success where it has had a good impact on the appearance of his team.

I'm really following Barcelona's progress now even though they seem to be lacking in some areas. Some additional players next season will be very useful to keep the team's performance more stable, especially in defense. Pique and Alba can't be expected to play 90 minutes throughout the season, neither can some of the other senior players. So there must be a suitable replacement for them. But I think this season they will do well in Europe.

I think we have discussed this topic too many times now so let these two teams make it to the semis, and then we can start predicting about the results. Also after the international break player’s often come back injured, hence let’s hope these two will have a fit squad so we can see them advance to the semis.

Right and also, I can say Sevilla is a team that is at least a team that often wins titles in the Europa League. Even in this season Sevilla looks strong in La Liga too, therefore when West Ham can beat Sevilla with a comeback, then West Ham have really done a good job and deserved for West Ham to get to the final match later.

True, Sevilla is a team that often wins the Europa League title but this season they had to fall short after West Ham came back in the second leg with a 2-0 win. So far the hopes are high for Barcelona in the Europa League and they are expected to win all the match to reach the final. A good performance from Barcelona can probably be expected to win the title, so we'll see how they fight for the title this season.

Yes, even though West Ham looks good, Barcelona's quality is still better. Perhaps the peak was when Xavi managed to give victory in yesterday's El Clásico, this victory certainly boosted the morale of the players even higher and it was very important to make Barcelona more consistent.

Too bad Xavi didn't come earlier Cheesy

Maybe the result would be different if Xavi quickly returned to Barcelona. Xavi has worked wonders for Barcelona during his a coach, the tactics used can provide a balance between young players and senior players. Thanks to a good record on the field with consecutive wins, Barcelona has the opportunity to shift Sevilla in 2nd place in the La Liga standings, because until a jornada 29 Barcelona is only 3 points behind Sevilla. Now Barcelona is also the favorite candidate to win the Europa League trophy.

Xavi arrival to Barcelona did have a significant impact and it's a shame if Barcelona slept with Koeman for too long, I think we'd have seen a different story if Barcelona had signed Xavi a little earlier this season, although was too late now but Xavi was able to make Barcelona rising from the current slump, maybe if xavi came earlier of course we will see Barcelona will be able to become title contenders with madrid until the end of the season, but the opportunity for barcelona to become title contenders is of course still there although it is quite difficult, if barcelona is able to beat sevilla next week of course we will see the rivalry between madrid and barcelona in la league happen again.

Well the arrival of Xavi is a pity that it wasn't earlier, but we have to recognize that he arrived at the right time, the truth is I'm not a fan of Barcelona, but it's the team that gives the most emotions when playing with Real Madrid.

For now what encourages Barcelona the most is Xavi's decisions, also because of the lack of money from the Club Xavi has to work with the players he has, this makes the players unite even more as a team, I think that too this influences the results that they are now obtaining.

Westham is a strong title contender. Westham and Barcelona are the favourites for europa league. Westham started the europa very well and got one of the most beautiful results in the group stage. When they were getting the results they were also doing great in the English premier league. As time goes on they begin to drop momentum because they do no have so many grate players that will handle different matches. But they still managed to push to this stage. More really did a wonderful job. At this stage that it is becoming clearer that Westham may not make it to the top four of the premier league of England this season. Westham has known that their eggs are in one basket and they will fight very well to move to the next round and I wish them success

West Ham and Barcelona both are going face to face in UEFA Europa Cup semi-final so with this most chances' winner from this match is going to win this year's title even it's all just predictions which are not 100% because we have Atlanta and Leipzig both are also very strong and good teams with ability to have stun any team in any match but currently Barcelona and West Ham are in good touch and their performance are also best for their last few matches. Atlanta is on a bad run and Leipzig is also good, but they are not experienced like other big teams in European competitions. Rangers and Braga are also can create any difficulties in coming matches but currently nothing surprise coming from them in last few matches.

Oh, yes, I also think that we should not forget that such teams as Atalanta and Leipzig are still participating in the tournament. Considering that potentially only West Ham or Barcelona will make it to the final anyway, but not both teams, then I think Atalanta and Leipzig can be a very serious opponent in the final and a real contender for the Europa League title in the end. Therefore, when we talk about Barcelona as the undisputed favorite of the Europa League or, in extreme cases, about West Ham, then do not forget about these clubs from the opposite side of the grid. The only pity is that Leipzig and Atalanta are meeting now and only one of the clubs will go further.

The Frankfurt draw wouldn't be so hard for Barcelona hopefully. They learned it the hard way against Galatasaray the last time and I wouldn't expect them to show a similar level of performance in this draw. Frankfurt wouldn't resist them too much I guess. And the most important thing is what Barcelona would do against West Ham next. I'm saying West Ham because I don't think that Lyon can eliminate them like they did to Porto. West Ham would beat them up in the first leg already and finish it.

I don't think west ham can beat lyon team easily despite lyon struggle on the ligue 1 they showed good performance in europa league and beating porto is no easy task porto is a serious opponent and they are used to play in the champions league against big european teams i think lyon will be the surprise of this tournament.

It will be a good game to watch, Barcelona with a premier side is a tough one but it will be difficult for Barcelona to win this westham side even if the Spanish side are favourite, Barcelona has pick top form ever since Xavi Hernandez came back they are now playing like a Barcelona team( tiki taka) but I think West ham United needs this trophy more because is there gateway to champions League football next season.

Because Barcelona is already qualified for champions league in next season its not enough reason to lose to westham in the Europa. and who knows if west ham will survive the quarter finals against lyon and even if they do the will need to play a very classic game to win Barcelona which the chances are very slim going by how far xavi has improved Barcelona games.

I think we are underestimating Lyon here. How are we sure that West Ham will make it out of the Quarter finals. Lyon might be having a terrible season in Ligue 1, but that doesn't guarantee that they will lose against West Ham. The same thing applied to Barcelona. The Europe League results something is usually shocking, especially in the Quarter and Semi finals. Although, they might probably be seems as the favorites.

I agree that when a goal in the form of a cup looms on the horizon, then teams that are not favorites may have additional reserves that can overthrow all the layouts. Also, let's not forget that teams like Lyon, which are not so successful in their domestic championship, can put all their efforts and even more in such a fairly prestigious international tournament as the Europa League. Moreover, Lyon's participation in the European cups next season is a big question, which can also give additional motivation to the team. In any case, I think that the tournament grid in which Barcelona is located looks more powerful than the one located on the opposite side.

I think you are saying West Ham is going to win because they are a team from the English Premier League, right? and the competition in the English Premier League is generally very high right now.
So, they are facing higher competition and still doing quite well in my opinion. So, I think they are generally the better team in this match. It's not about underestimating anyone, it's about who's the better team to win.
Personally I also agree with AndySt, I think this time Barcelona should be the winner.

A good performance from Barcelona can probably be expected to win the title, so we'll see how they fight for the title this season.

West Ham played very well Against Sevilla. They won by 2-0 goal.Sevilla good enough strong team but they didn’t any single goal score.West Ham goal Keeper and defender's they were showed outstanding performance. Yeah,Barcelona doing very well with Xavi.I hope they will do better in future with Xavi.

First of all, I don't think that Sevilla is a strong team. But they are a stable team. I said this because they had drawn 12 matches this season out of 29. Which is the highest. They have lost only 2 matches this season. Their tactics is, play defensively, secure the game, and then try to win. So, when they were beat to West Ham I was not surprised.

On the other hand, at this moment Barcelona is a strong team. If they maintain this type of form, then win the Europa League title is not hard to them. I hope they will achieve this.
