That depends. If we win the cup no difference. If we don't win the cup and the winner (AEX or Gavros) finishes in the top 2 3rd will be awarded the better cup-spot starting European football in EL Q3. Otherwise you start in ECL Q2. So you gain a 2 or 3 weeks later start of the season and a loss in Q3 is not leathal as you drop to ECL.
