UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Play-Off round

[THEPOSH]

Finally a good draw for Denmark. Silkeborg will face Maribor or HJK.

[Firnen]

The best draw from the Priority 3 teams was the one of Malmo, who will face Sivasspor.

Gent should be more than happy with their draw against Omonoia Nicosia. De Buffalo's should be considered favourites for that one

[anty1975]

Partizan vs Dnipro would be a very problematic match for authorities, not much love lost between Ukrainian and Serbian fans...

[Korgutt]

Gent should be more than happy with their draw against Omonoia Nicosia. De Buffalo's should be considered favourites for that one

CL-playoff:
Bodø/Glimt/Zalgiris vs Ludogorets Razgrad/Dinamo Zagreb

EL-playoff:
Ludogorets Razgrad/Dinamo Zagreb vs Bodø/Glimt/Zalgiris
I find this a little funny.

Ironically enough, for Omonia being priority 4 might be better. They avoid the likes of Fenerbahce, Partizan, Malmo, Olympiakos and could instead face teams like Hearts, Dnipro 1 or Sivasspor. Gent should be the strongest priority 1 side.

The kiss of death. They picked the only really strong option, Gent.

I dunno, Antwerp needed a PSO against Omonia last year to eliminate them......

I know, but that's Antwerp, and they're a joke in Europe

Omonoia doesnt have any strikers that can score.

Yesterdays shitshow with the Lamkel Zé that was supposed to sign but turned down his medical last minute, newspapers wrote he got a better offer from a hungarian club.

We need another 3,4 signings otherwise were gonna struggle big time against Gent.

Good draw for AEK Larnaca in case they pass Partizan.

Bad draw for Apollon if they get dismissed by Maccabi Haifa

[Michael S Collins]

Linfield or Zurich v Hearts.

Great draw for Zurich! Hah.

But in general, not the worst draw Hearts could have got.

Omonia finished 8th in Cyprus, they're here as Cup Winners. It would be a massive blunder from Gent to lose to them.

[naaba]

I don't really get that "priority" stuff.

Gent was lucky to get Omonia Nicosia, but how on hell could have they been drawn against Partizan Belgrade, Olympiakos or Fenerbahçe ?

Overall Gent had the 5th highest coefficient of all teams possibly involved in EL-PO, and yet they could have been facing Partizan Belgrade (7th highest) Olympiakos (3rd highest), or Fenerbahçe (9th highest).

Even when they used "regions" it was more clear.

I have made a simulation of the group stage pots of both EL and ECL, of course based on the results i expect in the next three weeks. Some ties are really close, i chosed based on instinct.


EL

Pot 1 (Roma, Manchester Utd, Arsenal, Lazio, Rangers, Dinamo Zagreb, Braga, Red Star)
Pot 2 (Dinamo Kiev, Olympiacos, Copenhagen, Feyenoord, PSV, Rennes, Plzen, Gent)
Pot 3 (Real Sociedad, Qarabag, Partizan, Malmo, Ludogorets, Sheriff, Betis, Midtjylland)
Pot 4 (Union Berlin, Freiburg, Fenerbahce, Nantes, Sturm Graz, Zurich, Union S. Gilloise, Silkeborg)

Let's see how much the real ones will be different.

Wait, you expect Dinamo Zagreb and Red Star to lose to Bodo Glimt and Maccabi Haifa?

Why not? I have seen stranger things in football.
