fightoffyour Posted June 11, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 11, 2023 Fenerbahce are 2-0 up already. That’s good for our seeding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewieGriffin Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Unless there's a catastrophe here then we'll be the highest placed non-seed - so a shock in the 2nd qualifying round (2 rounds before we start) will see us seeded. We might get a "heated ball" in the pot though as was mentioned the other day and be kept away from teams from the other big leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amed Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 With 3 other teams in the Europa League - what’s likely hood of our game’s in this being televised as well? Do they usually show all Thursday games on BT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they usually show all Thursday games on BT? Yeah we’ll be on TV always. They’ve got 8 channels, but we’ll be one of the first 3 you’d imagine. So if this result stays the same, we’re just a Juventus expulsion away from being seeded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubby Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 There are some decent teams in that 2QR; Besiktas, Twente, Legia Warsaw. Good odds we'll be seeded imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Juve will be favourites so we’ll have to play them at some point. But how seriously will they take the competition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burchy Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Has all the Juventus FFP/fraud stuff gone away, will they be in the competition? Looking good for being seeded though as only need one team to slip up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a game, I met a few players that night... Cowans, Platt, Zenga, Klinsmann, Brehme and the great Jimmy Greaves, proper gent he was. Unfortunately my hero at the time decided not to stop, Lothar Matthäus; my Dad called him a miserable German B****** That Inter team had three World Cup winners, Villa destroyed them.

But how seriously will they take the competition? Probably will play mix of first team and youngsters but will be expected to push for the league title as main priority They also dont have a manager lined up as expected to sack Allegri 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted June 12, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 12, 2023 Isn’t it strange how some of the seeded teams have to play in the early qualifying rounds, but we’re potentially unseeded and go straight to the play off and bye the first quali rounds? It’s all a bit confusing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the seeding coefficient is based on your recent European record but the time you enter the competition is decided on a predetermined path based on league finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cor, they could have hardly have made it more complicated if they’d tried!! If the wind blows in a westerly direction and moon rises in Aquarius then we will be seeded, but if a butterfly flaps it’s wings in Central Park then we won’t 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 It would not be good for the competition if Villa played Juventus in a qualifying round to get into the group stages. I imagine UEFA will do everything they can to avoid that eventuality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
