Europa League Final Prediction

Europa League Final Prediction ~ Fulham - Atletico Madrid

by Doug Martin



Hello everyone. On the final day of the Premiership weekend I managed to correctly predict 6 out of 10 correct results & 1 correct scoreline. The correct scoreline was Wolves beating Sunderland 2-1. My other correct results were Manchester United beating Stoke, Chelsea beating Wigan & thereby winning the title, Arsenal beating Fulham, Everton Beating Portsmouth & Bolton beating Birmingham. Chelsea ended up champions which was what I predicted way back in August. Those final results gave me a final prediction rate on results of 53% for the season in the Premiership.

With the League season now over in the Premiership we move onto the cup finals for the season. I must say I am really pleased for Fulham that they have somehow managed to reach the Europa League Final (UEFA Cup to everyone else) as they never would have imagined that they would get this far when they started out in the group stages at the beginning of the season. The same must apply to Portsmouth in the FA Cup as they too must be pitching themselves at reaching the FA Cup final despite being relegated. If they were to somehow beat Chelsea it would be the biggest shock in a final since second division Leeds lost to Sunderland in 1973. In fact it would probably be more of a shock in this day and age where money makes the gap between clubs bigger than it ever was. Finally, there is the Champions League Final between Bayern Munich & Inter Milan.

Good Luck &let’s hope for some shocks for football’s sake in this modern money orientated game.

See you all for the Play off Finals at the end of the Month & then it’s the World Cup….

Match 1:

Europa League Final: Fulham - Atletico Madrid: (Wednesday, May 12th 19.45pm - Hamburg, Germany)

I don’t think even Fulham know how they have managed to get to their first final of any description let alone a European final since 1975 when they lost the FA Cup Final as a second Division side to West Ham. Fulham started of their European run in July when they knocked out Lithuanian side FK Vetra. Since then they have knocked out Italian giants Juventus, UEFA Cup Holders Shakhtar Donetsk, German Champions of last season Wolfsburg, & of course Hamburg who would have been playing the final on their own ground if they had beat Fulham in the Semi Finals. Fulham also had to get through a difficult group stage where they had to play Italian side AS Roma who are neck & neck with Inter Milan in the battle for The Italian Title. Fulham have never won a major trophy in their history & if they win this game it will be a remarkable achievement. They face Spanish side Atletico Madrid who after a poor start in the first half of the season have managed to improve & now sit in 9th place in the table. They drew 1-1 at the weekend after resting several players for the final. Atletico have had a far better history than Fulham in terms of trophies. They have won the Spanish title on 9 occasions, the most recent in 1996, when they also won the Spanish cup to achieve a Spanish double. They have also won the UEFA Cup (1962) as well as being runners up twice in 1963 (when they were holders) & 1986. They were also runners up in the European Cup final of 1974 when they lost to Bayern Munich after a replay. In fact in this final they came very close to winning because in the first game they went ahead with only 7 minutes of Extra time to play but were pegged back by the Germans who won the replay 4-0.

It seems to me unfair that Atletico are even in the final as they were knocked out of the Champions League this season which included a 4-0 defeat at Chelsea. Fulham have reached the final by playing more games in the completion than the Spanish side but hey that’s modern football for you. I hope Fulham win as it would be great for the fans & the club but I can’t see it. I think that Atletico have more European experience than Fulham & that will tell. A shame & lets hope that Fulham don’t go the same way as Middlesbrough who reached the UEFA final 2006, i.e., relegation to the Championship within a few years.

Result Prediction: Fulham to lose
