Coefficient: the dream 15 is close, Greeks and Norwegians are angry

The Czech Republic improved in the UEFA league coefficient table after Slavia’s win over Linz. However, it would be good for Slavia to win the rematch as well to move up to 15th place, which guarantees two teams participation in the Champions League qualifiers. Where do the competitors stand?

Five leagues remain in contention for 15th place, guaranteeing five places in the European Cup qualifiers after Thursday. In addition to the Czech Fortuna Liga, there is the Turkish Super Lig, the Danish Superligaen, the Greek Superliga and the Norwegian Eliteserien.

Fifteenth place is held by Greece. PAOK Thessaloniki unexpectedly beat Gent on Thursday, and since Greece only shares the points this year by four (since four Greek clubs played the qualifiers), the somewhat written-off league has moved up to fifteenth place.

Only 0.1 coefficient points behind is the Czech Republic. Slavia defeated LASK Linz at home and take a 4-1 win into the rematch. So promotion is very close, but for the sake of Czech football, the Susians should play to win the away game as well. 0.1 points is one draw.

The Danes, on the other hand, no longer have the situation in their hands. Copenhagen led three times in Eindhoven, yet they cashed in for the fourth time at the end and came away with a 4-4 draw. The northerners are 0.525 points behind the Greeks, which is a win and a draw.

Turkey also has a theoretical chance of making the top 15. Galatasaray played out a valuable 0: 0 draw at Camp Nou and can think about advancing in a stormy home environment. The Turks are 0.510 points behind the Greeks.

Finally, a very unremarkable Norway, who will shoot up the table after this season. In theory, it can go into the top 15 already this year, Bodo Glimt beat Alkmaar 2-1 at home and will lose the tie in the Netherlands. And Norway’s loss? 1,200 points, that’s two wins and a draw.
