Betis and Real Sociedad They couldn’t get rid of the two ‘coconuts’ of the Europa League and they will have to face Rome Y to Manchester United, In turn, after a draw in which the two Spanish clubs should have no problem advancing to the next round.
Both of them will have two very complex games, the rest of their group’s competitors they don’t have to hinder their interests to stay competitive. In addition to Roma, Betis in group C will face Bulgarian Ludogorets and Finnish HJK Helsinki; and the Royal Society will be companions in the East in Moldovan Sheriff Tiraspol and Cypriot Omonia.
The men, led by Manuel Pellegrini, will fight for the first place in their group with a champion team. José Mourinho’s Roma lifted their first ever European title last year when they won the Conference League after beating Feyenoord (1-0) in the final. Always competitive and very serious in any continental competition, the Italian team will be the toughest team for Betis.
Some of the highlights from last year remains and players like Tammy Abraham, Stephan El Shaarawy or Nicolo Zaniolo They remained under the command of Mourinho, who, after leaving Juventus, added Paulo Dybala, who was greatly admired by his fans, to his star list. On the other hand, the injury of Georginio Wijnaldum upset the plans of the Portuguese coach, who lost an important player in most of the field.
Betis’ other rivals, they don’t have many names. The absolute ruler of the Bulgarian League, Ludogorets is starting a new project with Slovenian coach Ante Simundza, who managed to place his country’s Mura in the Conference League last year. Its owners, who are the biggest investors in Bulgarian football, will try to fight for second place. And HJK Helsinki, a priori, will only leave you with an uncomfortable journey and two duels that should have been easy.
For the Royal Society, appearance Adam Utd Not new. In the 2020/21 season, the English team eliminated Imanol Alguacil’s men in the round of 32. Now, two years later, they’ll meet again on the bench where Erik ten Hag tries to save a depressed club.
The season started poorly, but they took flight after beating Liverpool after losing in the first two days of the Premier League. They also have interesting names: Eriksen, Casemiro, Jadon Sancho, Bruno Fernandes, McTominay and Rashford If the pieces fit together, they can form an intimidating team. In the puzzle, it is not yet known whether Cristiano Ronaldo, who wants to leave United at all costs, will be there.
Sheriff Tiraspol’s Real should be skeptical of last season, when the Moldovan team managed to surprise Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium. This is an unpredictable team you have to be very careful with him. And Omonia is the guest of choice at a party where, like HJK Helsinki, they have few options for entertainment.
Another candidate to win the competition, most ArsenalPaired with two complex teams in group A. On the one hand, he will be faced with a historical event. PSV Eindhovenwere managed by Ruud van Nistelrooy, who were knocked out of the Champions League after losing to Rangers in the final qualifying round. 1988 European champion Mikel will sell the first place dearly to Arteta’s men.
from the other two competitors. fight is expected. Especially Norwegian Bodo/Glimt, who humiliated Roma with a 6-1 win in the group stage last year. In addition to this, he brushed the Champions League, but was left out after hitting Dinamo Zagreb on penalties. Meanwhile, Arsenal’s third rival, Zurich, will try to surprise.
The other Italian club in the competition, Lazio will also have a sophisticated travel companion. A finalist in the last issue of the Conference League, Feyenoord is a dangerous team with proven names like Danilo or Oussama Idrissi, despite losing to Luis Sinisterra. The other two rivals will be Denmark’s Midtjylland and Austria’s Sturm Graz. You shouldn’t have a problem defeating them.
In the rest of the groups, D stands out with Spanish forward Abel Ruiz, who will be favorites against Artur Jorge’s Portuguese Braga and a dangerous team like Malmö, Union Berlin and Belgian Royale Union Saint-Gilloise. A terrible striker in the figure of Dante Vanzeir.
But among all the competing clubs, The two names with the most names, Manchester United and Roma, fell from the sky to match Real Sociedad and Betis. And while the groups of the two Spanish teams are affordable, their fans will be able to enjoy loud duels with flamboyant opponents who will light up the group stages.
