The 2019/20 Europa League
The Europa League sees clubs from across Europe battle it out to lift this trophy. It may be in the shadows of the more prestigious Champions League but clubs still want to win this competition, especially as the winner qualifies for the Champions League the following season. It was back on June 11 in 2019 that the preliminary round of the competition began with teams such as Cardiff Metropolitan University, Prishtina and Tre Fiori trying to get as far as they can in the 2019/20 Europa League.
As the months have gone by, higher ranked teams have entered the competition as well as clubs knocked out of the Champions League in the qualifying rounds. Over 200 clubs are taking part in the Europa League this season and that total is now down to the last sixteen stage. The draw has already been made for the rest of the competition which has been delayed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The Europa League resumes in August with the last sixteen round being completed. Then it's off to Germany for the last eight tournament. Our team of betting experts will supply you with lots of information about the knock-out stages and hopefully provide you with plenty of winners.

Europa League Expert Predictions
It's often a factor in the Europa League that clubs tend to rotate their squads for the ties. That has been the case in the 2019/20 Europa League but this is a slightly different competition to previous years. It's going to be completed during August and by the time games begin, the domestic league seasons will have finished. That means these are the only games that the clubs will be playing, so not so many changes may be made. The winners of the Europa League qualify for the Champions League. Those who haven't secured a spot in the Champions League will therefore want to put total emphasis on this competition to secure that place and all the finances that brings.
Statistics play a key part in the betting world we live in. Our betting experts will be studying as many of them as possible to back up the predictions they make. If the stats show that a team is playing a series of low-scoring games, then a suggestion to bet on the under 2.5 goals market will be made. Our experts will be looking at the home and away records of all the clubs they have the task of predicting results for.

Two leading fancies for the Europa League were knocked out at the last 32 stage. Arsenal surprisingly lost to Olympiakos and that most likely ends any hope they have of being in the 2020/21 Champions League. They won the away leg 1-0 but lost by the same scoreline in the home second leg taking the game into extra time. Arsenal equalized on the night but a 120th minute goal took the Greeks through on away goals.
Ajax were also knocked out despite being one of the favourites to win the Europa League. They lost 3-2 on aggegate to La Liga side Getafe. Sporting Lisbon led their tie against Istanbul Basaksehir 4-3 going into the 92nd minute of the second leg. Then the Turks equalized to take the tie into extra time and won with a 119th minute penalty. Another shock saw Copenhagen draw their home leg against Scottish Champions Celtic but won the away leg 3-1 with two goals in the last five minutes.
It was a bad round for Portugal with all three of their teams knocked out. Benfica were 4-3 up on aggregate on Shakhtar Donetsk but ended up going out 5-4. Braga led 2-0 away at Rangers in the away first leg but then conceded three goals and lost the home second leg 1-0. Porto only lost the away first leg to Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 but then conceded three goals at home losing 5-2 on aggregate.

The Contenders
Sevilla Chasing Their Sixth Win
Whether it be the UEFA Cup or the Europa League as it is now known, Sevilla have enjoyed tremendous sucess. Two UEFA Cup wins and then three successive Europa League titles between 2014 and 2016. They are back again chasing a sixth win but probably not too happy about it. The Europa League is full of clubs who are still having nightmares over the fact that they didn't qualify for the Champions League. Sevilla fall into that category having finished just two points behind the final Champions League qualifying position in La Liga ending the season with a run of four points from their last four games. With only one home loss in their last 25 Europa League games, they will again be a threat in this competition. That was shown in the group stages as they won all three home games without conceding a single goal. Only three goals were conceded by Sevilla in their group, a total only beaten by Manchester United. They have to face Serie A side Roma in a one-off game in Germany and could then face Wolverhampton Wanderers. Manchester United are also in their half of the draw, so another triumph would be hard earned.

Manchester United Eyeing another European Trophy
Manchester United won the Europa League in the 2016/17 season qualifying them for the Champions League the following season. Last season saw them lose to Barcelona in the quarter finals of the Champions League. Only being able to finish sixth in the English Premier League, they are back in the secondary European club competition this term. They won their group but had a few struggles along the way. Just how important this competition will be to United depends on their Premier League campaign. Manchester United remain the favourites to win the Europa League. Their price has shortened even further after they won the first leg in Austria 5-0, surely making the second leg just a formality. They will face either Istanbul Basaksehir or Copenhagen in the quarter finals, a tie they should be capable of winning. Their semi-final opponents could be Wolves in an all Premier League clash. However, it's more likely to be Sevilla or Roma.
Inter Fighting Hard to win the Europa League
It promises to be an exciting end to the season for Inter Milan. They still have a good chance of winning Serie A and are in the last sixteen of the Europa League. Inter began the season in the Champions League but again failed to make the knock-out stages. They beat Ludogorets Razgrad in the last 32 of the Europa League and now take on La Liga side Getafe in a one-off game in Germany. With players such as Lukaku and Eriksen in good form, Inter will be hard to beat in the Europa League.
