Europa League-2015/16

Everything is that Novo, but one has to stop this series of poor results, the players didn't forget to play football.

I believe.

I agree with you that a bad series must stop, but Bilbao is not the team that we need to rehearse realistic.

Half-time 3-1 and that is real.

That is real, and real is that Partizan has no defance. really don't have, everybody see that.

The best indicator of what kind of defense works is that we were last year in the whole season, received 20 goals and now in the half season, we received even 22 goals and I not counting European matches.

Overall results were fairly good for us who betting on them.

No doubt the biggest surprise from tonight's games is Skenderbeu 3-0 Sporting Lisboa, Although there was a red card for the Portugese team folowed by the penalty kick for the hosts, nothing can excuse the performance of Sporting.

The biggest surprise for sure,  a Sporting Lisbon lost to an unknown Albanian club. What time has come.  :D

That is probably biggest win in history for some Albanian club.They did not just win,they destroyed them with 3 goal difference.

This team from Albania played very well in qualyfing for the Champions League.However Dinamo was too much for them.

This victory in the group stage of the Europa league means a lot for them because they have not stars in team.

That is probably biggest win in history for some Albanian club.They did not just win,they destroyed them with 3 goal difference.

Probably,yes.. But they play 11 on 10, Sporting have a red card, almoust all match with 10 players, it's hard to play..

It is hard,nobody sad it was easy,but this is disaster for Sporting fans.Probably one of the worst losses in history.

Shouldn't have to be an excuse for the much better side of Sporting. I will understand if the game is close and they loose it in the end but a 3-0 against an Albanian side doesn't look serious for the Portugese championship leader.

After the break for EURO matches, Europa League returns this Thursday. 2 more games are in groups round, and we will see some interesting matches.

We are now getting close to decisive moments of the Europa League.We will see few very interesting clashes in Thursday.

What will be my focus of interest is match between AZ Alkmar and Partizan Belgrade.First match in Belgrade Partizan won 3-2.

In thursday match i think that Partizan can earn one point and I hope all three.

Probably they could, if they play at decent level of course. AZ are not so good like in the previous seasons I think and probably Partizan has a good chances in that one.

AZ has improved their game since last match with Partizan certainly.They started to win in the dutch championchip.

Partizan is in bad shape but now they won Novi Pazar 3-0 and I expect that now they will play much better.

Partizan is really struggling in national championship.AZ is not such a good team,but I think they will find the way to defeat Partizan.

AZ are not in the form from the last season when they finished 3rd in Holland, that's what I meant, two consecutive victories doesn't make much of a difference in their season so far.

Great game for Partizan and now they are with one leg in next round.Although they conceded a goal early in second half glossy Aboubakar Oummaru is made all the difference and than scored a goal and set up another goal.

1. Ath. Bilbao -12

2. Partizan -9

3. Augsburg-6

4. Alkmaar -3

I think that partizan goes to second round.

I think that partizan goes to second round.

I hope so too.But in last match against Augsburg they can not lose by 3 goals difference.

If Partizan lose 0-2 It would be enough for passage.

Pretty good chances for Partizan to qualify and I'm sure they will, looking almost impossible for them to loose with more than two goals against Augsburg, will be a deserved success for the team.

Last round in the group stage of Europa League right now so all the qualified teams will be clear tonight, the most interesting result at the moment is Dortmund - PAOK 0-1 HT  but the home team is all ready qualified of course so they could afford a bad result.

Partizan - Augsburg 1-3 (1-1)

What a stupid lose for Partizan.They have 1-0 and than stop to play and go back only in difense.Despite such a cowardly game had a huge chance for 2-2 in 86 minit but Brasanac missed layup.In the next attack Bobadilla used bad reaction defense  and Augsburg goes on.

Very disappointing result for me.

Here are the teams which were qualified after the last games in the groups:

Fenerbahçe, Midtjylland, Sion, Marseille, Lokomotiv Moskva, Sporting CP, Fiorentina, Anderlecht, Augsburg

Round of 32 draw procedure

Seeded teams: Molde, Liverpool, Krasnodar, Napoli, Rapid Wien, Braga, Lazio, Lokomotiv Moskva, Basel, Tottenham Hotspur, Schalke, Athletic Club, Manchester United*, Bayer Leverkusen*, Olympiacos*, Porto*

Unseeded teams: Fenerbahçe, Sion, Borussia Dortmund, Midtjylland, Villarreal, Marseille, St-Étienne, Sporting CP, Fiorentina, Anderlecht, Sparta Praha, Augsburg, Shakhtar Donetsk*, Galatasaray*, Sevilla*, Valencia*

* transfer from UEFA Champions League

Really strange for me that Sevilla are not seeded after two consecutive cups, don't know what they have to do to be amongst the seeded teams :`o

Easy win for Liverpool, it could have been much more than 2 goals. 

De Gea was fantastic, maybe he need a better defense. Manchester is no longer good defensive players, after Vidic and Rio. And i think that Carrick is too old.

The only problem with Carrick is that he had  to start that game. When you play derby game you want your most experienced players on the field, they know how to play these kind of games and by the way Carrick isn't a central back, it's again Van Gaal problem that he spend 250 mill pounds in last two seasons and in the end plays Carrick as a center back. United have more than enough players, just their manager is a big joke.

Absolutely, i am a Chelsea fan, but for the sake of football, M.United must always be on top.

Bad results like this are unacceptable. Send Van Gaal home, he's done his job.

Van Gala " shoots " from the sidelines M.United for a couple months ago. :D Despite veryyy bad results , he is still here.

Well english derby went as expected. Van Gaal simply isn't on Klopp's level anymore. As Scholes said "M.U. has the resources to be upthere with Barca, Bayern and others, but we will be as Arsenal fighting for FA cup and 4th place in EPL as long as we have L.V.G. as our manager"

Hahah, Scholes nailed it with that statement, well said :D

Tonight matches:

19:00  Bayer Leverkusen- Villarreal

19:00  Lazio - Sparta Prague

19:00  Valencia - Athletic Bilbao

21:05  Anderlecht - Shakhtar

21:05  Braga - Fenerbahce

Good luck! :)

I'm saying something similar all season long and even the previous one, they have all the resources to be out there with the best but it's a shame that this team is managed in amateurs way on and off the field, I mean not only Van Gaal but people above him as well, all the way to the owners.

The club fell apart when Ferguson left. That's a fact. I suppose now that he was in charge of everything in the club.

Tonight results:

Bayer Leverkusen- Villarreal*  0:0

Lazio - Sparta Prague*  0:3

Valencia - Athletic Bilbao*  2:1

Anderlecht - Shakhtar*  0:1

*Braga - Fenerbahce  4:1

Manchester United - Liverpool*  1:1

*Sevilla - Basel  3:0

Tottenham - Dortmund*  1:2

What a game by Sparta Prague! Absolutely trashed Lazio at Olimpico. Maybe the most interesting fact is that they did that with completely Czech squad. Out of starting 11, only one player wasn't from Czech Republic and that is Costa from Zimbabwe.

A great game from Braga against Fenerbache (4-1).

The moment that turned the course of this tie was when Braga got chance to shoot penalty and Topal got red card. Than Fener fall apart and it finished this way.

Europa League quarter-finals:

Braga vs Shakhtar Donetsk

Villarreal vs Sparta Praga

Athletic Bilbao vs Sevilla

Borussia Dortmund vs Liverpool

The matches will be played on 7 and 14 April.

Borussia Dortmund vs Liverpool. That's going to be a great match,with great fans, with Klopp coming back home. And the most important, both teams are playing a very nice football to watch. Can't wait :)

Shakhtar, Villareal, Sevilla and Borussia to proceed. Klopp's meeting with "Yellow wall" should be emotional.

The draw  making jokes again with Dortmund and Liverpool, this could even easily be the final. In the form they are Dortmund are favourites, the all Spanish clash will be very interesting too.

Sevilla is subscibed to Europa League titles so I see them going all the way to the final. They are strong at home, good tradition in EL, I see them as team that could surprise.

Europa League quarter-finals coming up tonight, here are the odds at NetBet:

Athletic Bilbao vs  Sevilla

2.10 - 3.45 - 3.55

Dortmund vs  Liverpool

1.58 - 4.20 - 5.85

Braga vs  Shakhtar Donetsk

2.55 - 3.20 - 2.95

Villarreal vs  Sparta Prague

1.48 - 4.20 - 7.50

Good luck!

Exciting game in Dortmund, Klopp back to place he became famous. Expecting some goals also, maybe over 2.5 best bet?

That's what I was thinking, looks fine to me. Maybe I'll try double chance x2 on Sparta and Shakhtar. Looks tempting to me :D

I am big fan of liverpool, and i hope that will win tonight. You will never walk alone!

Fantastic atmosphere in Dortmund at the start of the game, Dortmund's yellow wall singed famous "You'll never walk alone" song. Great result for guests, undefeted with goal scored, nice :)

Sevilla and Shakhtar have one foot in the semi-finals, Dortmund and Liverpool will battle it out at Anfield Road Stamford Bridge.

Ath Bilbao 1 - 2 Sevilla

Braga 1 - 2 Shakhtar

Dortmund 1 - 1 Liverpool

Villarreal 2 - 1 Sparta Prague

I knew that Shakhtar could win that one. Why will Dortmund and Liverpool play a rematch at Stamford Bridge, or you made a little mistake ? :)
