Currently the odds for top 3 contenders for winning the Europa League title are like these:
- Liverpool :
4.00- Roma :
13.00- Leverkusen :
15.00Liverpool are really the strongest team in the tournament by far currently. There are going to be teams coming from the Champions League also of course. But until then Liverpool will stay like this. They care about this tournament too considering their effort so far. Their priority is the Premier League of course that's why they have been subbing off their important players early in their games if they have a good advantage.
Liverpool have made big progress compared to last season by the way. This really deserves to be appreciated.
For some reason, I am still quite the favorite for Roma to win the European League title this season and looking at the odds, it is certainly very tempting when compared to Liverpool. I feel that Roma still have a grudge that must be avenged in order to win this title after last season they lost to Sevilla and as we know Roma's defeat in the final was like cheating. That's why they have a mission to try to win this title once again and Mourinho certainly really wants to present the title to the fans because they know competing to win the Scudetto is very difficult. Regarding Liverpool, they are actually not really focused on the European league title and their main goal is to get a top 4 place in the domestic league, but if they can win the title at the same time, this can be considered a bonus.
The latest news has been informing that if mourinho is not feeling confidence anymore in roma. he had also said if he is willing to make a move for saudi pro league. Roma is always performing inconsistently. I dunno how big the chance owned by this club to win europa league but it's unlikely this season. Roma is now different compared with last season. There is something wrong with roma right now. The club is not playing the same like what it used to be last season. Lukaku has become the only hope owned by roma.
Roma may not able to go to the final like last season. This season is going to be even harder with some world class club participated in the europa league. This will not be easy journey for lukaku and friends.
