Europa League 2015/16

[mente captus]

Why are Fenerbahce and Lokomotiv playing now in the Europa when the rest are on Thursday?

the russian air force do not have enough fuel to cross the turkish boarder on two days of the week

Gary Neville marching on to glory here... 2-0 in 10 minutes.

 

[Super_horns]

4-0 - apparently in the past Neville has dismissed the Europa league like so many British pundits but this might be a chance to have some success.

 

[Nath]

5-0, now.

Hopefully he can push on from here.

 

[JimJams]

He'll come back to reality in the league. But as they're not in danger of relegation even with such shite form, he can give it a real go in the Europa. CL qualification abound.

 

[mistermagic]

Gary Neville's Valencia are 5-0 up at half-time. Good for him.

good week for the germans, none of them conceded a goal.

The Augsburg - Liverpool match could have been won by both sides. Bobadilla had to leave too early, he was the man i thought who could score there. he scored from 3 direct free kicks in the group stage. for the second leg i can see them scoring at Anfield so its up to Liverpool to win the home leg.

Dortmund in total domination vs Porto, the result (2:0) could be much more comfortable. the foul vs Reus in the first half must be a sent-off. they will go through to the next round.

in the Shaktar vs Schalke match Schalke were the dominating side in a goalless draw. the Matip goal after a hour should be stand. they should progress but have a lot to do in the home leg.

in the Sporting vs Leverkusen match leverkusen was the dominating team and with the win in the bag they should progress after the home leg is played.

Looking forward to tonight's games. Will watch United with interest, before they end our season on Sunday.

 

[Stevencc]

I think you have us confused with someone else, Smat.

We're absolute tripe.

Bayer – Sporting

The return leg of Europe League will be supervised on Thursday. In one of the matches Lisbon’s Sporting will guest Leverkusen’s Bayer. German players were dominant and won 1-0 in first game. Leverkusen’s team made shots 7 times more than their opponents (score on shots 14-2). Semedo was sent-off because he got 2 yellow cards but Bayer couldn’t get use of it although made good chances near encounter’s gate. The teams will face again this week. Of course Portugueses made conclusions after previous game and will try to play attacking football for going to the next round of Europe League. Bayer could play counterattacking football.

Bayer’s players prefer playing positioning football controlling the ball on opponents’ field part. On the other hand, their counterattacks are dangerous too: fast Bayer’s players on attacking wing are able to score a goal not to spend much time and efforts for it. They play attacking football well too. Leverkusen’s players can control encounters actions playing defensively. But sometimes there are backs’ individual mistakes. Team is well-positioned at all. Chances are made while team control the ball. Should be admitted that left wing is dominant in attacks and Germans play confidently on “second floor”.

Sporting is typical Portuguese team. They play attacking football well. Although Sporting faces difficulties playing defensively. The team squad includes young and experienced players and they can make good result. Counting result of first game and characteristic style features of the team should wait for attacking football because Portuguese want to achieve needed result.

Let’s look at upcoming match according to bets on corners. Bookies consider that hosts will take corners more often than guests, total over is more 9.5. I suggest looking at this bet.

First match was played with 3-8 on corners, it means that total over was beaten confidently. If bring to attention previous Bayer’s games could be noted that team always took more than 6 corners after winter holidays (on average 7.14 corners during a game). Apart from, Leverkusen’s players took corners more than 9 times in each match. It means that total over 9.5 can be covered in return match with Sporting. Looking at last 7 games of Portuguese team, only once the team took less than 5 corners and average individual total of for Sporting is 7.42. Also total over 9.5 was covered in previous 4 matches.

To sum up we see that teams often take corners and both of them can cover the bet. Counting importance of the match, high motivation of Portuguese and potential bet on attacking game lots of corners are going to be. Bookmaker 1xBet offers odds 1.60 on total over more than 9.5 and I think that is really good bet.

Schalke...

 

[mistermagic]

Da fuck happened there, MC? Donetsk aren't all that and you were doing alright in the league (well you were being Schalke). Really dissapointed by this result. Only 2 German sides left now. Schade.

 

[Stevencc]

Leverkusen did the business, at least.

 

[mistermagic]

Marseille have been knocked out by Bilbao 2-1 on aggregate. No great loss to the comp but I expected Bilbao to win more comfortably than that.

Basel v Saint-Etienne about to start. Hopefully Les Verts can keep the advantage from the 3-2 1st leg win. Reckon their mind is very much in this comp and they could go far.

 

[mistermagic]

Leverkusen did the business, at least.

Them and Dortmund are gonna be hard to knock out. Still expected Schalke to progress. Watch all 4 spanish sides progress this evening.

Cmon Napoli!

 

[mistermagic]

Napoli have equalised on aggregate. Good.

 

[Megaclyde]

Kind of want napoli to go out just for the whole coefficient war we got going on atm

 

[JimJams]

Olympiakos got a penalty for an Anderlecht defender kneeing the ball into his own face and the ref giving a handball.

 

[G.B]

fio offering fuck all in attack vs spurs. spurs should have had penalty early on for a blatant handball, makes me wonder what the additional officials at the byline actually do. mason scored with a tidy finish shortly after.

 

[Super_horns]

Bad night for the Italians maybe - 2 of the 3 sides going.

Impressive win for Spurs.

Bad night for the Italians with 2 of the 3 sides going out.

Drama in Basel - St Etienne scored in the 90th but lost the tie in the 92nd minute.

 

[SALTIRE]

Fiorentina always have some lovely strips with that colour they play in but that minimal one tonight was a real beauty.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Sparta Prague in the next Round for United please.

 

[silkyman]

Well... At least we know who will lead the line for England at the Euros now.

Schalke...

 

[Stevencc]

We've drawn Liverpool.

Good stuff, they are one of the few clubs Van Gaal actually knows how to beat!

Shakhtar vs. Anderlecht
Basel vs. Sevilla
Villarreal vs. Leverkusen
Athletic Bilbao vs. Valencia
Liverpool vs. Manchester United
Sparta Prague vs. Lazio
Dortmund vs. Tottenham
Fenerbahce vs. Braga

Dortmund vs Spurs could be a cracker.
