StewieGriffin Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 I think the groupings are geographical... West Ham’s last year was Switzerland, Holland, England, Norway and Czech Republic vs Belgium, Austria, Portugal, Sweden and Denmark Won't quite be the same for us due to seedings etc Last years Playoff Round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedge Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 I think I've already asked this but in my giddiness I can't remember the answer. Will we definitely be away first leg or could we be at home or away? Selfishly I'd like us to be away second leg as I've got more time off work that week to potentially go on a jaunt to Londonderry or Kazakhstan etc...

In the Champions League Round of 16, the seeded teams are away first leg to give them home advantage in the second leg. However I don’t think that’s the case for the Conference League Playoffs.

Do you remember the old days of the uefa cup where it was a two legged game and you could draw any team at any stage? Thats when European football was good and exciting. This seeding system is shit. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lose one and you're out. Simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post YLN Posted August 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) I love draws. I love euro qualification group draws and tournament draws and even FA Cup draws and FAI Cup draws. I love them. I used to watch all the draws on championship manager involving my team, drawing each side one by one. Sometimes i think i just watch football for the draws. I'm excited about the draw.
