The ties in bold involve the 9 teams that are seeded above us. We need one of them to lose for us to be guaranteed a seeding. Looking at it, it is fairly straight forward for most of them. The one that I would have some confidence in is that Cluj vs Adana Demispor. That is a 50/50 tie. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted June 21, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 21, 2023 I can’t see all 9 winning, a bit like the FA cup, there’s always an upset and a higher team get knocked out by a lower side. Are these ties just one leg or two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these ties just one leg or two? Two legs which reduces the margin for an upset. The gap in quality in the resources between these sides can be vast and upsets are definitely not the norm.

DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Just watch Demirspor beat Cluj, only for them to beat us in the next round. Would be typical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 The conference league is developing into the Champions and Europa's rather eccentric relative. Give me random euro teams than Real, Barca, Bayern, top four Premier League, every time. It's what European football should be about. Marvelous isn't it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
