Twelfth place, which guarantees the Champions League group, is held by the Norwegians. They have scored the most points of any nation so far this year, with three teams in the running, and Bodo Glimt already guaranteed at least the Europa League. They are tied on four (number of teams in the preliminary rounds).
the Swiss are 0.825 points behind the Norwegians, they are tied on four points, only Lugano are out and Zurich are assured of the EL. The Ukrainians are in a more than promising position, although they are separated by five and 1.600 points behind the Norwegians, they have three teams in the game, plus all of them have already secured the preliminary group.
The Czechs have jumped to 15th place thanks to points from Plzen and Slovácko this week. A reversal by Slavia against Raków will be key to staying in the top 15, we are 1,700 points behind a very distant 12th place.
The Greeks are only 0.2 points behind the Czechs, but on the other hand they pose no real threat as they have only Olympiakos left in the game. The Danes, with a loss of 1.175, have three sure groups and Viborg is still in the game. They are tied at five.
The Croatians are 1.4 points behind the Czechs, tied with four, with one EL group certain and Hajduk Split still in play. The last real threat is the Turks. They are 2.6 points behind, but they have three certain groups and Sivasspor in play. They are tied at five.
