Europa League 2013-14: Dnipro (UKR), Benfica (POR)/PAOK (GRE)

Re: Europa League 2013-14

FH Hafnarfjördur is The Sig's first club from Iceland, along with Emil Hallfredsson who's currently playing in Italy and being linked to some Premier League clubs. Don't think he ever won a cap for us though.

A lot of really decent teams in there, just hope we avoid a tricky tie.

The losers of Salzburg/Fenerbache and PAOK/Metalist will be seeded no matter what, just like the loser of Karagandy/Skënderbeu will be unseeded.

Re: Europa League 2013-14

I'd love us to draw that team from Luxembourg in the play-off round

Lots of lovely places to go to in that draw, but knowing our luck we'll get someone like Metalurg Donetsk or Kuban Krasnodar.
 
Re: Europa League 2013-14

Eh? Shakhtar I've heard of, but 'Metalurg' Donetsk sounds like some particularly grim Soviet-era steel town from before the wall came down, all grey skies, thick moustaches, tractor factories and crumbling roads with broken-down Moskvitch cars being used as impromptu beetroot gardens.

The Europa League, ladies and gentlemen: where the Cold War never really ended.
 
Re: Europa League 2013-14

Any team in the Europa League play-offs with a coefficient greater than 17.425 is guaranteed to be seeded. Teams with a coefficient below 6.800 will definitely be unseeded.

There are currently still 72 potential opponents that Spurs could face. That will be reduced to 31 (or 30 if Swansea are unseeded) with the completion of the 3rd qualifying rounds. If UEFA follow their procedure from previous years, before the draw is made they will divide the teams into smaller groups reducing the number of possible opponents down to 5 or 6.

Re: Europa League 2013-14

There are three teams from Israel who all have a very good chance of making the Play-Off Round.

I hope Spurs are drawn against one of them.
 
Re: Europa League 2013-14

Was a good performance from Swansea yesterday, they should easily get a top half finish. The only thing that may hinder them is squad depth.
 
Re: Europa League 2013-14

Swansea looked pretty impressive last night could have been six or seven in the end ,mitchu and bony look a good pairing with Mitchu carrying on as he did last year.
 
Re: Europa League 2013-14

This is the week, the one you've all been waiting for, when we find out who we play in the Europa League playoff.

Before the draw on Friday there's the small matter of the 3rd qualifying round. First up is the Champions League where the losers qualify for the EL :rolleyes:

Tuesday:

Maccabi Tel Aviv (0-1) Basel

Steaua Bucuresti (2-0) Dinamo Tbilisi

Maribor (1-1) APOEL Nicosia

Skenderbeu (0-3) Shakhter Karagandy

Fenerbahce (1-1) Salzburg

Partizan Belgrad (1-2) PFC Ludogorets Razgrad

Re: Europa League 2013-14

Result:

Maccabi Tel Aviv 3-3 Basel
Aggregate: 3-4

Maccabi Tel Aviv drop into the Europa League.

Steaua on course for the CL with 1-1 after 57 minutes.

Fenerbache - Salzburg is already 1-1 after just 10 minutes, so any higher scoring draw will see Fenerbache drop down as Salzburg will win on away goals.

Maribor 0-0 APOEL at HT. As it stands APOEL drop down and will be seeded. Only three more needed to push Feyenoord back down among the unseeded.
