There are still two more rounds to reach the final, each team has the potential to fall in the round of 16, even though the draw results bring together the seeded and unseeded teams. I predict AC Milan, Leverkusen, Liverpool, Sporting, West Ham, Benfica, Brighton and Marseille will advance to the quarter finals. This is only a temporary assumption, because the opportunities for these teams may change in the future, they may improve or they may experience setbacks. Liverpool is the favorite team to win in this seasons, after that there are Leverkusen and AC Milan. However, the European League is full of surprises, fortunately Sevilla did not appear this season, they failed to qualify for the play offs because they finished in fourth place in group B of the Champion League.
Looking at the results of the European League draw, I also have a prediction like yours, the team you mentioned will qualify for the next round because they have the opportunity and have good quality players. With the composition of the team that will qualify for the quarter-finals, I predict that the one that will advance to the final round will be Liverpool vs Leverkusen because both teams are both on fire in their respective leagues and of course have a high fighting spirit.
For Liverpool, this trophy will be dedicated to Klopp's departure at the end of the season and for Leverkusen this is their opportunity to marry the Bundesliga and Europa League trophies with the brilliant squad that Leverkusen currently has. Yes, fortunately the European League currently does not have Sevilla because they are the kings of the European League. If Sevilla were there maybe he would be one of the favourites. Because even though in Laliga they are not very good, in Europe their performance is always epic like last year, in Laliga it is very bad but in the European League they are champions.
