UEFA European Football Forum

I would like Union - Bodo/Glimt and Gent - Molde.
A double Norwegian confrontation.

The strongest and most balanced group, there are no easy matches here. Favorites are Brugge and Besiktas, but Bodo and Lugano can surprise. Bad draw for everyone in this group. :mol: To be honest, I like this group. I actually get to watch interesting games each week :D But what you said is absolut...

Naaba has said it all really in his post. Antwerp got 3 clown goals against them in the second half. Antwerp couldnt string 2 successful passes together in the second half which resulted in a tsunami of Ukrainian pressure. Janssen missed the last 2 penalties he took last week so I get that he isn't ...

Predictable results on Match day 1 Barcelona and Porto showed that they are miles ahead of Antwerp and Shakhtar. Coach Van Bommel(Antwerp) went to talk to Xavi who he knows after just 18 minutes into the game. Xavi said he came to congratulate on doing so well. But the hands in front of the mouth ma...

Besiktas and Brugge play for top spot. I have got to give the edge here to Brugge.
But don't underestimate the Norweigian squad Bodo/Glimt, I see them taking points from either Besiktas or Brugge. Maybe even both if they happen to underestimate them.

Gent managed to hold on to their 2 "gold" strikers Orban and Cuypers. If they don't take 1st place here it will be a shocker.
Gent also shored up their defense with more "quality" players compared to last year.

This group is pretty straight forward, Porto and Barcelona are going to take top 2 spots and Shakthar and Antwerp may fight it out for third. A small advantage for Antwerp may be that it plays Antwerp - Barcelona in the 6th game. Assuming Barcelona has qualified by then, it might start with a "...

Group B and group E are going to be the most interesting to watch. Both are challenging groups where all have a chance to pass through to the next round. AEK don't have any chance of getting out that group I don't know, I am not up to date anymore on things as before but isn't it only the 4th place...

The team to avoid here is West Ham
All other match ups are going to be pretty balanced.

Gift Orban what a valuable player has he been for Gent since he joined.
First half started sleepily, went to make some tea and came back to the screen just in time to see the crazy 6 minutes of Gent start.

I kinda want SG to win!

7.47 posts per day...

What does that mean?

That you have an expected goals stat of 7.47... according to xGoals.
Where can I sign you up for my team?


Congrats to Berlin and Union SG for providing me with an excellent game to watch!!!

Both Anderlecht and Gent should have very fair chances of progressing past this play-off round.
Their draw could have been worse.

At least during their next European game Gent should have recovered their star player Tarik Tissoudali.
