    Hello ladies and gentlemen I know I’m uploading this a little bit late but today I’m going to be giving you all my conference League round of 16 predictions in the Playoff round prior to that I was pleasantly surprised that some of my picks did not age well

    Especially with Dina moag I got a total of four out of eight placements correct though not great but this tournament is much tougher to call than the likes of the Champions League in my opinion it’s not going to get any easier though these round of 16 matches are looking very

    Brutal to call but I love this tournament man it’s so underrated and I feel like it still does not get the credit it deserves let me know your predictions as always in the comments below and make sure to drop an early like let’s try to hit 1,000 likes on

    This video let’s begin though we’re seeing all those first place teams from the group stage return to the tournament the first case being Le coming up against SK stmrs SK stmrs were in that Playoff round and they just knocked out conference League regulars Sloan brattis lava they will be motivated and

    Determined to make it to the quarterfinals in this competition as in recent history they have been really unlucky in European football always falling short now they will give it their all while they have the momentum but it’s not going to be easy against the French side who are currently only

    Fifth in their domestic League All Eyes on the Canadian Jonathan David he’s their top goal scorer by quite the margin 17 goals this season and Counting only one goal in the conference league so far but he also only played in four matches not starting in many of them

    Either I think now they’ll definitely want to utilize him more as they’re in a much deeper position in the tournament not to mention they did not play in that previous Playoff round so it’s hard to count all of the stats in this tournament in particular SK Storrs like I mentioned knocked out conference

    League regular slovan brattis Slava in the previous round and they heavily frustrated them it started off with that 4-1 victory in the first leg with the sloon send off along with another in the second leg the team is facing quite a few injuries but they have proven to be

    A very solid unit working wonderfully together everyone is evenly contributing in this side but I still can’t help but think they are the underdogs in this the Europa League record in a difficult group wasn’t great with just one win and one draw in six matches despite having

    Some exciting youngsters on this team I do think Le will be the favorites to advance to the quarterfinals maybe it’ll be even closer but I’m going for a nil-nil draw in the first leg and then a 3-1 victory for Le in the second I’m rooting for grz of course but I think

    This will just be too difficult for them next up olympos versus Tel Aviv olympiakos in that previous round defeated forence Vos twice with two one-nil victories their Striker for Morocco El cabi scoring both goals but full credit to that defense for also keeping two clean sheets in a row

    They’re currently fourth in their domestic league but it is a close race with all the top clubs you can argue that they are still in the title race the Europa League third place finish wasn’t great but it was without a doubt a difficult group meanwhile Tel Aviv

    Have been on fire the only team that have been able to beat them recently is makabi hia who are also in this conference League race as well so it would be something if we see both of these sides advance and they have to face each other in this tournament

    Eventually the veteran zahav is doing loads for the club being their top goal scorer he’s also had six direct goal contributions in the conference League it’s a really tough one to call the Israeli clubs have simply been impressing this season we’ll get into makabi Hy later but they’ve also been on

    A journey of their own what I see happening is olympos to still go through but in similar fashion to how they knocked out foran Vos I think it’s going to be a close match definitely not an easy one to advance to the quarters it will start off with the 1-0 victory in

    Greece and then a 1-1 draw in the second leg moving on to mold versus Club rou mold one of the sides to completely prove me wrong in my predictions as they knocked out Leia Warsaw they essentially annihilated them scoring six goals over both legs the second one finishing in a

    3-0 away win very impressive as going away to Poland for that fixture is never easy just ask Aston Villa it’s a massive bounce back in form as their last match in European football prior to that was them getting annihilated to Bayer Leverkusen 5-1 in the Europa League and

    It’s a bit hard to judge the side’s form as the Norwegian leag has not began yet but they have been playing some matches in February regardless for the conference League obviously but also for the Atlantic Cup Club Bru topped their difficult conference League group where Bashas heavily disappointed and also

    Went undefeated they also had to play another Norwegian Club in that group bodog glimp they’re a steep way from top two in the Belgian league but they still have been holding their own nsa’s injury looks to be worrisome but with SC wson and Igor Thiago up top I think they have

    What it takes to advance to the quarters I think they can do it over both legs as well 1 nil in the first 3-1 in the second Club brou have a really solid team on paper and have been proving their worth in European football as of recently let’s not forget the Champions

    League group stage last season where they nearly topped their group as well now for one of the biggest matchups on paper aax versus Aston Villa we all remember ajax’s Dreadful start to the season but there’s no denying that they have bounced back they still have work

    To do of course but being closer to the bottom of the table at the beginning to now fifth place just shows that they’re back in business in the Playoff round they nearly did the job against bog glimp a side that they should be beating but can never be ignored in the

    Conference League it took some time to get used to that new Squad in the cycling of managers of course but I think they’re in a position where they could compete against the mighty Aston Villa but the fact that this club is top four in the Premier League at the moment

    Cannot be ignored OE Watkins with 16 goals and 12 assists in the Premier League is outrageous a few slips here and there but there’s no denying that this club are exceeding expectations this year and with unaa Emory managing this club you already know they are always a serious threat in Cup

    Competitions I still think they are one of the favorites to win the whole thing even with all of these other amazing underrated teams in this competition they should be able to defeat ax and I think they can partially do it in style 2- n in the first leg and 3-2 in the

    Second don’t want to sleep on a their new signings have been coming together better but Aston Villa should be able to do the job here moving on to Union St goo versus fenerbache probably one of the biggest flip of coin scenarios we have here USG now have two years of

    Impressive European football displays they just knocked out a Europa League champion in the playoffs of this competition not to mention they are first in the Belgian League coming up against fenerbache who were also in massive title race with galatas it is known that these two clubs went all out

    In the transfer window this year and in the winter window they just gained bonucci they lost 3-0 in the Turkish cup quarterfinal but they did not play their strongest lineup and they have had a few slips in the conference League along the way they topped their group but shared

    Points with second place Ludo gordes the likes of jeo and simonski really need to step up here as USG also only lost one match in 2024 and it was also a cup game getting rid of Bonny face was no problem the club now has been relying on amoda

    This really is a flip of a coin and I do have somewhat of a soft spot for fobot as they sign so many Bulan players I am rooting for them to go through but something tells me USG will be the ones to do it themselves as they’ve really

    Been in hot form Galatasaray and bikash have already been knocked out of European football unfortunately I think fenerbache are next I’m saying Union St goo win the first leg 2-1 and in the second it’s a 1-1 draw we’ll see though let’s move on now to cvet versus

    Victoria plien the Swiss side had been in very good form the last match they lost was all the way back in December a 4-nil defeat to slavia praha but they had picked themselves back up since they Advanced over lud goret by just one goal in two legs but they’ll have to face

    Another check side in this round these guys are falling behind in the Czech League to slavia praha and Sparta praha but they topped their conference League group convincingly over the likes of din Mo Zagreb the last match they lost was all the way back in November also

    Conceding four goals to slovo so yeah two really informed teams coming up against one another it’s really tough to split them apart I’m going to guess that Victoria pison will be the ones to advance though first like nil nil second 21 over cvet I’m really unsure about

    This one though moving on now to dino Zagreb versus P Dino Zagreb had a really poor start to this season with a lot of their best players leaving to now looking properly developed they are very much back in the title race for Croatia along with beating a great Spanish side

    On paper real Bettis in the previous Playoff round that one- nil away win in the first leg allowed them to clinch a one-1 draw at home and be okay to now continue in this competition I’m so happy about it I really thought we were going to be done there but the journey

    Continues can’t get too overconfident though as pal will be tricky first place in their conference League group unlike Dio who were really shaky at the time they still were able to go undefeated in a group with Frankfurt which is admirable like I showed earlier they’re also very much in the equation for the

    Greek title race and so far this season Di has had bad luck against Greek teams in the Champions League qualifiers they went out on a heartbreaking way to Ike so they might nearly miss their opportunity once again in the conference league as well I really don’t know what

    To say for this one obviously I am truly hoping for Dio to pull through here but something tells me P’s going to do it maybe be part of me is saying that just to jinx my di prediction once again first leg nil nil second 1-1 penalties in Greece P wins Dio unfortunately

    Getting knocked out but please prove me wrong and the final match we’re looking at is fantina versus makabi hia I already went over makabi hfa’s recent successive bit they defeated gent in the recent Playoff round but will now have to face conference League finalists from last season theor anthena having an okay

    Season I suppos they’re currently seventh in the cyia and they top their conference League group undefeated with three draws veteran bonov has been pulling the strings for now and this side clearly has that recent European knockout exposure since yeah they were finalists only a year ago I’ll be brief

    With this one but I do think they are the favorites to Advance 2 N in the first leg 1 n in the second yep winning over both legs we’ll see though good luck to makabi H well there you have it guys those are all my predictions for

    The conference League round of 16 like I said let me know your thoughts in the comments below thank you all for making it to the end we’ll see how well this ages I’ll see you all very very soon though take care l

    1. I don't think Usg will win against Fenerbahce even Fener is out of their form but their best player fred is back and they didn't lose a single match with him so i'm sure that they will be in the quarter finals

    2. both haifa and tel aviv will be moving on the next round and than we will see the first ever israeli derbi in europe🟡🔵⬜🟦

    3. As a Dinamo Zagreb supporter it was not good to see us do bad in group stages, but to see us beat Real Betis gives me some confidence. Let us go all the way 🔥

    4. My prediction is:
      Servette 2-2 Plzen
      Ajax 1-2 Aston Villa
      Molde 2-2 Club Brugge
      Union Sent Gilloise 3-3 Fener
      Dinamo Zagreb 2-3 PAOK
      Sturm Graz 1-3 Lille
      Maccabi Haifa 0-1 Fiorentina
      Olympiacos 3-1 Maccabi Tel Aviv

    5. As a Fenerbahce fan but I think any Belgian team is very dangerous for our 3 teams. ( Besiktas lost against Club Brugge, Adana Demirspor lost against KRC Genk, Istanbul Basaksehir lost against KAA Gent. )

    6. Score Predictions:
      Sturm Graz 2-4 Lille (1-1, 1-3).
      Olympiacos 3-2 Maccabi Tel Aviv (3-2, 0-0).
      Molde 1-5 Club Brugge (1-2, 0-3).
      Ajax 1-4 Aston Villa (1-1, 0-3).
      Union Saint Gilloise 4-3 Fenerbahce (2-1, 2-2).
      Servette 0-4 Viktoria Plzen (0-2, 0-2).
      Dinamo Zagreb 2-2 PAOK (2-1, 0-1) = PAOK won on penalties.
      Maccabi Haifa 0-5 Fiorentina (0-2, 0-3).

      I would be surprised if 2 Greek clubs advance to the QF (and even made through the Final if anything is possible), but Aston Villa will win it, for sure.

    7. the amount of disrespect viktoria plzenm gets even after being the only team winning 6/6 group stage matches is insane.. 0 ball knowledge..

    9. u took easy on turkish teams dont sleep at them we didnt expect galatasarays loss but dont sleep at fenerbahce u will see theyre going to semi final

    10. Gilloise vs Fenerbahce. Gilloise lost the first Match with 3-0 😂 if you look the League Stats of both Fenerbahce has more… the team of Gilloise is less than 70 Mio€. Fenerbahces Team is 200.

    11. Did everyone who reads this comment I wrote here understand? If everyone is aware that FENERBAHCE will win the conference cup, there is no problem. Friends, I love you all, greetings :)))

    12. That ref could have worn a Fenerbahçe shirt. Second goal should have been overturned for a foul and third goal is not a penalty, meanwhile on the other side every time USG created a chance ref blew a ghost foul… I'm not a USG fan but it's an absolute disgrace, they got robbed hard and frankly I wouldn't be surprised if UEFA decided to replay this game.

    13. How you can underrrate FENERBAHÇE Like that? Its The Most underrated Team in the Conference League
      We win 3-0 in Belgium!!! 3-0!!!!
      Dusan Tadic 🔥 (you don't have Take a Pic of him)
      FENERBAHÇE is the NO.1 Favourite for this Competition
      2. Aston Villa
      3. Lille
