Upcoming Matches for the UEFA Europea League
Roma vs LOSC
The AS Roma vs. LOSC Lille in the Europa League 2025-26, Matchday 2. Kick-off starts at Stadio Olimpico on 2nd October, at 12:45 PM ET.
Predictions
This one is going to be a showdown, and I’m telling you, Roma, have won 4 of their last 5 matches, including a tight 1–0 against Lazio. That’s not just form, that’s momentum. Lille have been a mixed for the recent time, got defeated 0–3 by Lens recently, but also won a 7–1 against the Lorient. So yeah, they’re unpredictable. One win, one draw. And don’t forget on Paulo Dybala, even with a hamstring tweak, he’s still a threat. Lille’s got talent, sure, but they’re walking into the Olimpico, and that place is complete opposite to what they used to play on in the last days. Roma’s midfield is stacked, and their defence is genuinely strong as a wall. Lille’s got the power, but Roma’s got firepower and discipline. It’s going to be loud, it’s going to be messy, and it’s going to be glorious.
If LOSC scores first the Roma will surely come and chase the game. But if the Roma scores first, its over little bro LOSC. They are going to strengthen their defence and they will never be able to do anything about it, Expect a fast start and a slow ending. This game is surely in the hands of the Roma for sure.
Ludogorets vs Real Betis
The PFC Ludogorets Razgrad vs. Real Betis Balompié in the Europa League 2025-26, Matchday 2. Kick-off starts at Ludogorets Arena on 2nd October, at 12:45 PM ET.
Predictions
Trust me this game is going to be cinematic. This is filled with chaotic, dramatic, and full of surprises. The reason that I’m telling this is because the Ludogorets are on a six-game unbeaten momentum, and they’re not just winning, they’re dominating. They smashed Montana 3–0 and flipped a 2–1 deficit against Shkendija into a 4–1 win. That’s not luck, that’s intelligence of the entire team combined. But here’s the twist Ludogorets have never beaten a Spanish team in Europe. Not once. Zero wins in nine tries. Though with a huge momentum, playing against the different breed of team is just a little considerable. Real Betis are not just cruising, they’re evolving. They are already sitting in the 6th of the table. Ludogorets haven’t lost a home game since January. That’s a solid foundation. But Betis have already beaten them twice before.
This gives the Betis more mental strength against the Ludogorets. This clash is going to be tight. Ludogorets will throw everything at them, and Betis will counter with speed and power. This is not going to be a goal show or some insane levels of gameplay. Expect a slow start but this is surely pretty much in the hands of the Ludogorets.
Fenerbahçe vs Nice
The Fenerbahçe SK vs. OGC Nice in the Europa League 2025-26, Matchday 2. Kick-off starts at Chobani Stadyumu Fenerbahçe Şükrü Saracoğlu Spor Kompleksi on 2nd October, at 12:45 PM ET.
Predictions
This is going to leave the fans even more stressed about the game. Both teams are coming off losses in their opening Europa League matches. Thus, its clearly equal. Fenerbahçe got smacked down by Dinamo Zagreb, and Nice fell down to Roma. So yeah, they’re both hungry, desperate, and kind of worried. Fenerbahçe’s got the home crowd behind them. It’s clearly a favourable for the Fenerbahce They’ve won both previous home ties against Nice, and they’re not planning to break that streak. If so, they will lose the momentum and make it harder for themselves. Nice? They’re a mess right now. Six losses in their last nine matches, and they’ve lost ten straight away games in the Europa League. This is a huge disadvantage for them.
This is going to be the best time for the opponent to take over the game. Fenerbahçe’s got some of the key players too, good front and the defenders too. Front is just too good that it could turn out to be the nightmare for the defenders. If Nice don’t tighten up, they’re going to be cooked. This game surely leans towards the Fenerbahçe this time.
Bologna vs SC Freiburg
The Bologna FC 1909 vs. SC Freiburg in the Europa League 2025-26, Matchday 2. Kick-off starts at Renato Dall’Ara Stadium on 2nd October, at 12:45 PM ET.
Predictions
Teams have been in the good form lately, not too good yet not too bad. With both sides bringing very different gameplay to the pitch. Bologna’s home form has been solid lately. They’ve lost just once in their last eight. That’s no joke. Freiburg, on the other hand, has been shaky away from home, struggling to keep clean sheets and often looking vulnerable under pressure. Bologna’s attack, was unpredictable. They could cause serious headaches for Freiburg’s backline, which has leaked goals in five of their last six outings. Sure, Freiburg presses hard and plays with heart, but Bologna’s slick passing and counter-attacking pattern might just slice through that intensity.
Even though both teams have key young players the Injuries are a concern for both, but Bologna’s bench looks more reliable. Expect high-energy clash with moments of madness. Don’t expect too much and rely on a less tempo game in this one. This game could be in the hands of the Bologna; there are less chances for the Freiburg to get control of this game.
Nottm Forest vs Midtjylland
The Nottingham Forest F.C. vs. FC Midtjylland in the Europa League 2025-26, Matchday 2. Kick-off starts at City Ground on 2nd October, at 03:00 PM ET.
Predictions
This game is something the fans are not more anticipated about. Not as much as others because everyone knows who is going to win this game. Forest haven’t won a single game in their last five outings, two draws, three losses, and a whole lot of frustration. They even have a 2–1 lead against Real Betis in the last minutes. That’s not unlucky, that’s worse. Midtjylland are flying. Six wins in a row in Europe, including qualifiers. That’s not form, that’s fire. They just beat Randers 2–1 after trailing early, and they’re scoring goals like they know what is about to happen. Forest defence is leaking goals too often, no clean sheets for a longer period of time. No goals in Europe yet.
The Forest have a good stat and the key players too, but they are just too young and it won’t be as much as effective as the experienced veterans in the Midtjylland. Midtjylland’s got their own injury list, but they’ve got momentum. This is their first-ever clash, and it’s going to be intense. If the Nottm Forest brings some of the best gameplay. At least they could make a chance against the opponent. Otherwise, this game is surely in the hands of the Midtjylland.
Lyon vs RB Salzburg
The Olympique Lyonnais vs. FC Red Bull Salzburg in the Europa League 2025-26, Matchday 2. Kick-off starts at Groupama Stadium on 2nd October, at 03:00 PM ET.
Predictions
Don’t make it more complicated and lets just keep it really simple as possible Lyon’s been on a bad form lately. Four wins in their last five games, including a solid 1–0 win over FC Utrecht in the Europa League. They’re playing like they’ve got something to prove, and honestly, they kind of do. Their midfield’s clicking, their defence is holding strength. Their team formation is just playing like they are going to get the trophy right after the game. Salzburg? Is wobbling. One win in five, and they just got defeated by Porto. Their pressing game is intense, sure, but it’s been falling apart under pressure. Lyon at home is a whole different beast. Salzburg’s young squad might just get eaten alive. Injuries are piling up for both sides, but Lyon’s depth is better.
Salzburg’s got some better players too. who can cause problems, but they going to need a good gameplan to break through Lyon’s backline. They have to score at least one goal to make sure they are stable throughout the entire game. Lyon have to make sure they are a real threat and not just a random opponent team. Salzburg will fight, but Lyon’s got the edge. This one is secured by the Lyon in the upcoming match
Celta Vigo vs PAOK
The RC Celta de Vigo vs. PAOK FC in the Europa League 2025-26, Matchday 2. Kick-off starts at Estadio de Balaídos on 2nd October, at 03:00 PM ET.
Predictions
The fact that this entire game is just hanging by a thread is the thing that makes the fans even more tensed about this game. In the recent times the Celta’s been struggling hard, eight games without a win. They are already in the lower in the table and that is a crisis for them. But they’re finally back at Balaídos, and that home turf might just be their lifeline. And this could change the entire game upside down. There are some of the fast-paced players who make it better. On the other hand, the PAOK are not exactly flying either. Four games without a win, including a frustrating 3–3. But they’ve got the pretty depth. Their front could have a greater effect on the defensive side of the opponent.
PAOK’s away record against Spanish teams is truly brutal. Zero wins in seven tries. That’s a curse they’ll need to break. That is the only way they are going to prove they are not a mediocre. Celta’s got injuries, Carl Starfelt, Mihailo Ristic, and Sergio Carreira are all out. PAOK’s missing Dimitrios Pelkas, and a few others are benched. Through all of this, this game slightly leans towards the Celta Vigo for sure.
Feyenoord vs Aston Villa
The Feyenoord vs. Aston Villa F.C. in the Europa League 2025-26, Matchday 2. Kick-off starts at Stadion Feijenoord on 2nd October, at 03:00 PM ET.
Predictions
This is the best European clash of all time and people are going to witness it. It’s just full of nerves and nasty tackles. Feyenoord’s got the home advantage. That could enhance the gameplay of the Feyenoord for sure. They’ve been solid in the Eredivisie, winning 6 of their last 7, but their Europa League opener was a total flop. Lost 1–0 to Braga with barely a shot on making progress. This is just purely a notice to make some moves. Else, they will hit the rock bottom for sure. Villa, on the other hand, are finally finding their master gameplan. After a rocky start, they’ve been bagging back-to-back wins against Bologna and Fulham. The Aston have the best front of the entire opponent team combined. And the Feyenoord’s defence is shaky, especially with injuries to Beelen and Trauner.
This is the best time for the Villa’s attackers to throw attacks and pressure on the front line. Villa’s got their own problems, most of the team have out and replaced, this is their first-ever meeting, and it’s going to be spicy. Feyenoord will press hard early, but Villa’s counter game is lethal. Expect drama, expect goals, and expect Villa to edge it. Call me anything, but this is truly leaning towards the Aston Villa for sure.
Basel vs VfB Stuttgart
The FC Basel 1893 vs. VfB Stuttgart in the Europa League 2025-26, Matchday 2. Kick-off starts at St. Jakob-Park on 2nd October, at 03:00 PM ET.
Predictions
Both team’s form is a little bad in this situation. Basel’s form is wobbling too and this is the worst thing that could happen. Imagine any other worse time to deal something like this. They’ve lost three of their last five matches, including a 2–1 defeat to Freiburg in their Europa League opener. Their defence has always been letting goals. Six conceded in the last three games. And now they’re up against Stuttgart, who are riding a wave of confidence. Basel’s got talent, but they’re missing key players too due to injuries. Which will surely have some profound external effects on the team towards the game too. This might go either way, but this is highly anticipated towards the Basel to secure the win. Other than that, the fans are just expecting very least from the VfB Stuttgart in this game.
Stuttgart’s got injuries too, but they’ve got depth and the power. Their midfield is way better than compared to others. Basel’s never beaten Stuttgart in Europe, and unless they pull off something wild, that streak’s going to stay alive. This game is strongly leaning towards the hands of the Basel is guaranteed.
