It would be great to win this cup ahead of a team like spurs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Really hope we get a proper shitter for our playoff game. Obviously we’re pretty good and can fancy our chances against anyone but I’d rather it be easy Just get us to the group stages and then give us whoever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Question what happens if we draw dynamo Kiev in the game before the group stage? Where would the game be played? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See i think opposite after what happened at Stevenage i would rather a team that we dont take lightly and potentially **** up. I guess the one advantage now is no away goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Only just realised that Vitoria de Guimaraes have qualified for this. That could be quite the tie! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StewieGriffin Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 TLDR; at least 1 of the 9 top seeded sides have been eliminated in QR2 in the 2 seasons of the Conference League, and a few other ties have been very tight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering why it has to be QR2 when there is QR3 where some seeded teams might get knocked out in?

MrBlack Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 3 minutes ago, Made In Aston said: Just wondering why it has to be QR2 when there is QR3 where some seeded teams might get knocked out in? I cant work that out either... QR3 is made up of teams that win QR2, 2 teams that drop out of the Europa League (and are seeded), and 5 other teams that enter there straight away. Of those 5, 2 are unseeded and ranked below us. So assuming all the seeded teams qualify in QR2, is there another window if either Rapid Wien or Arouca (both unseeded and below us) win at QR3? Possible reasons why we might not: - the teams that reach qr3 receive the higher coefficient of the two teams that play, so become seeded whatever happens? -the draw is made before qr3 takes place, and unseeded teams get drawn with their seeded opponents as a seeded pairing? - the twitter dude doesn't know what he's doing and we actually could yet a final saving grace in QR3?

villabromsgrove Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I haven't got a clue about seedings, but I do have a good idea about the strength of the Villa team that will play the qualifying matches in August. Why are we worried about seedings? Our very talented squad will have had a full pre-seasons coaching with Emery and his staff, (plus some outstanding additional players that we don't yet know about). We will be big favourites to win a qualifying round against any other team, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The draw for the Play Off Round (where we enter) is made before QR3 is played, so any non-seeded teams knocking out seeded ones in QR3 inherit their coefficient for the Play Off round. Eg; the draw for QR3 is made and puts seeded Club Brugge against unseeded FC Azerbaijan Farmers, and then the Play Off draw sees Club Brugge or FC Azerbaijan Farmers vs Aston Villa. If FC Azerbaijan Farmers beat Brugge then they don't do a redraw - they'd just play Villa. Edited June 15, 2023 by StewieGriffin 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
