Dutch Eagle Posted July 21 Author Posted July 21 If we win the tie we will be seeded in the play-offs too and the draw should be easier. As the coefficient of the last seeded in PO is lower than in Q3. And there are a lot of of lower ranked teams that drop a tier down from CL to EL into the unseeded side.
pash Posted July 21 Posted July 21 We got this. Also good to take a crack at a country whose league is closer to ours in the rankings. Helps maintain the Greece coefficient if we win. 1
paokarag4 Posted July 21 Posted July 21 4th in the Austrian League last campaign as well as the Austrian Cup winners. They don't scare me as much as some of our other potential opponents, even though I think our grouping was kind to us. We have 3 weeks before the 1st leg, time to really fine tune and get match ready. 2
Blackhawk Posted July 21 Posted July 21 On paper we are the favorites to progress. The only thing that worries me is our bad history against Austrian teams. In our 5 match-ups against teams from Austria we have 3 wins, 3 ties, 4 losses, and only one qualification (against a team from Austrian lower division: FC Karnten).
Dutch Eagle Posted July 28 Author Posted July 28 Kick-offs EL Q3 confirmed. 20:30 EEST in Toumba on August 7th. 20:00 EEST a week later in the one and only Austria.

PaokCT Posted August 2 Posted August 2 Absolute must win this tie. If we lose we most likely won’t even make conference league with those really good teams in the seeded section

Dutch Eagle Posted August 4 Author Posted August 4 If we are eliminated in EL Q3 we play in the Conference League first at home against Araz-Naxçıvan PFK (AZE) or Omonoia in the playoffs. 1
Blackhawk Posted August 4 Posted August 4 The draw in the Europa League could have been easier. We should still be able to progress. On the other hand in the Conference it could have been more difficult.
PaokCT Posted August 4 Posted August 4 Yea we got screwed w the Europa draw. Got the highest ranked team in our pod.

PaokCT Posted August 7 Posted August 7 Shelbournes half starting 11 transfer value is under 100k. Meanwhile I didn’t realize our old friend Dantas plays on Rijeka

Dutch Eagle Posted August 12 Author Posted August 12 Rijeka won 1-3 away in Ireland with Dantas assisting and scoring a goal. Aggregate 3-4 for the Croats. Winner of our tie vs Wolfsberger AC faces them in EL PO.
