The curtain officially rises on the 2024-2025 Europa League, with Lazio and Roma representing Italy. The Biancocelesti kick off their campaign tonight (kick-off at 21:00) at the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg against Dynamo Kyiv. After their defeat to Fiorentina, they will be looking for redemption against the Ukrainian side, who have dropped down from the Champions League after being eliminated in the decisive playoff against Salzburg.
Among the other notable matches on the schedule for this "historic UEFA Cup," Manchester United vs. Twente (21:00) stands out. The Red Devils are one of the main favorites for the final victory, but despite having a highly competitive squad, they will need to find the consistency that has eluded them in recent seasons. Another dark horse in the competition is Porto, who will make their debut in Norway against Bodo/Glimt (18:45). The other early kickoff features AZ Alkmaar against Elfsborg.
In the evening, besides United, Galatasaray will also take the field, fresh off a derby victory against Fenerbahce, as they host PAOK. Anderlecht will welcome Ferencvaros, Slavia Prague will visit Ludogorets, the clash between Midtjylland and Hoffenheim promises goals and excitement, while at the Allianz Riviera, Nice, who scored eight goals against St. Etienne over the weekend, will face Real Sociedad.
