Zatman Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 5 really good ties in tournament, a much better tournament in depth than predictable Champions League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I agree Zatman, some good ties. I can imagine neither Utd or Liverpool will be delighted with that tie (apart from the travelling aspect). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted February 26, 2016 Moderator Share Posted February 26, 2016 Oh how the times change. Of the three English sides left in, it's Spurs with less of an eye on this competition than the other 2 have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Its still going to be a La liga team that wins it Maybe less predictable than the champions league but you still have the losers from the champions league so its a bit of a flawed competition. Some interesting ties but not the Liverpool v Man U one as its been played to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelVilla Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Looking forward to the Spurs-Dortmund match. Unlucky draw for the two biggest favourites for the tournament. Should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some interesting ties but not the Liverpool v Man U one as its been played to death. Sevilla have a fantastic record but I think there are better first 11s in other teams. Bilbao-Valencia will be a good tie but can't see either making the final. Villareal have the hardest route, did very well to knock out Napoli and now got Leverkusen. Personally think Dortmund are the team to beat in this, think they'll get past Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Dortmund are probably favourites but I have an inkling for Neville's team. They seem to be picking up a bit of form and think they will beat Bilbao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Too many flaws in the Valencia team particularly around the DM area which leads to panic in defence. Once they play harder teams they'll stop winning, think Bilbao will knock them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Bilbao vs Valencia Villareal vs Leverkusen Basel vs Sevilla should all be good games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Sevilla should kill Basel. Villareal v Leverkusen should be a tight low scoring affair. Apart from Atletico Villareal have the best defence in La liga. Anderlecht v Shakhtar could be interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Good result for Villareal. With their defence they should go through now. The Bilbao v Valencia tie is still in the balance Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
