Most people favor Liverpool and Leverkusen as the candidates of the finalist of Europa League this season. However, we don't know if they really can reach the final round because there are many other strong teams that can't be underestimated. Although both Liverpool and Leverkusen can continue to the next round, they may meet stronger teams in the semi-final round. So, it is true that the road of the final can be surprising. There is no guarantee that we will see Liverpool and Leverkusen in the final match.

I think they favor them because they are the only teams in top form lately, Liverpool are too of their league ahead of Manchester City and in form Arsenal and Bayern Leverkusen are the only teams in Europe that are unbeaten and they also are top of their league ahead of Bayern Munich so if they are saying Liverpool and Leverkusen are the favorites to win the league then you shouldn’t blame because their assumptions are based on stats. Being the favorites doesn’t mean it will be easy for them, I wouldn’t lie when i saw the fixtures and noticed the teams that are still in the competition i also thought it would be impossible for this two teams to progress easily but then i among all they are still the best teams with the best performance.

It won’t be as easy as we thought, all the available teams are good team doing well in their respective leagues, AC Milan are second place in the serie A, West Ham and Atlanta are also not an easy opponent and we could experience something different from what we expected.
