In this competition, several candidates who could be strong contenders for the trophy according to me are Bilbao, Lazio, Frankfurt, Lyon and Spurs. Spurs can still surprise even though their performance is messy. However, the one that catches my attention the most is Atletico Bilbao, they are quite consistent both in the domestic league and the Europa League. If Bilbao is able to finish their match well, as well as other opponents, maybe they will meet Lyon, Sociedad or United. But the one that seems quite difficult is Lyon, because their performance is quite good in the Europa League. On the other hand, the ones that have the potential to qualify according to my guess are Spurs, Frankfurt and Lazio. These three teams can also be strong contenders for the next phase. However, my focus is still on Atletico Bilbao, for me this team is a strong opponent for its opponents in the Europa League. Well, let's just see the results of the match later after the round of 16 is held.

In my personal opinion, Tottenham and Lazio seem to be the strongest candidates to win the Europa League trophy. Because as we know, in this preliminary round Lazio was able to finish at the top of the standings with a pretty good record, namely 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. So with this, I personally am very confident that Lazio will definitely be able to reach the final and have the possibility of winning the European League trophy.

So why do I say that Tottenham is also a strong candidate to become champion in the European league. That's because I see that Tottenham's performance is quite stable when compared to Bilbao or Manchester United. Apart from that, as we know, Tottenham can sometimes always provide unexpected surprises. So with this, I am also quite confident that Tottenham has a very big chance of getting into the final round.

And talking about Bilbao's performance, in the domestic league you could say this team has a very good performance. But for some reason I'm not sure about Bilbao's performance in the European league. So I might predict that Bilbao will most likely only be able to enter the semifinals in this European league.
