Marka Ragnos Posted July 26, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 26, 2023 So hopelessly confused. Are we still at the stage of waiting to see if Club Brugge, PAOK, Basel, Gent, Fenerbahce, Midtjylland, CFR Cluj, Maccabi Tel Aviv or Viktoria Plzen crash out?

We are - there’s a LOT of matches at this point. Just Google the tournament. Midtjylland currently 2-0 up at home to Progreso. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Juventus get kicked out, which they probably will, then we’re seeded OR if they don’t then we need just one of those nine teams to get knocked out… so it’s fairly likely that we will be seeded, but not impossible that we won’t yet. It’s not the clearest of competitions is it!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually if Juventus don’t get kicked out, it’s only around 50/50 that one of the 9 big clubs will fail against the crappy 9 teams. Based on last years results at this stage.

Based on last years results at this stage. It’s all very confusing! I’m not a statistician but you’d think 1 of those 9 teams would be likely to slip up? Ah well, we shall see!

Midtjylland currently 2-0 up at home to Progreso. I've heard of midtylland before, their badge is yellow and red, play somewhere in scandanavia Progreso.... Not a **** clue, can you imagine saying to a mate at work "yeah booked 2 days off next week, going Progreso away" Only wanting one winner from that tie UTP Edit - midgetland aren't the ones with the yellow and red badge, theirs is black and red and Progreso actually play in the Uruguayan second division they're playing progres from Luxembourg I'll be disappointed if we don't play the randomest team imaginable in this cup Edited July 26, 2023 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 44% initially. It's more about scouting network, ability to loan players and making it easier to acquire young international talents by bringing them through vitoria first.

Basel losing 3-1 POAK drawing 0-0 Viktoria Plzen drew 0-0 Cluj also drawing 0-0 So some half decent result for us there, just need the second legs to boot one of them out and we’re seeded. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenerbahce won 5-0 yesterday, PAOK held 0-0 at home by Beitar Jerusalem, Basel lost 3-1 at home to Tobol Kastanay, Midtjylland won 2-0 at home yesterday, Cluj drew 1-1 at home with Adana Demirspor, Maccabi won 3-0 at home, and Viktoria Plzen drew 0-0 at home with Drita Gent and Brugge both 2-0 up at home and looking comfortable, but I dont think all of these seeds are going to make it through - Basel have a lot to do, and Plzen, Cluj and PAOK all have difficult away games they need to win 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpTheVilla26 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 We don't wanna get that team that are beating Basel. They are from frigging Kazakhstan, sod that for a jaunt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) Are there 20 teams in world football who would be favourites against us in a 2 leg tie? I'd say 3 in Spain, 2/3 in Italy, 2 in Germany, PSG. 6 or 7 in England. Maybe 2 or 3 more? Edited July 27, 2023 by CVByrne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
