Coefficient: the Norwegians are moving away because of Sparta, the way leads through the Greeks, but they have to help Slavia

Pilsen for one, Slavia for one, Sparta for five. The first matches of the Czech teams in the qualifiers looked very promising, but Sparta’s goal against Viking changes everything. The Czechs lose their representatives in Europe and also important points that Sparta could have gained.

The Czechs can realistically attack up to 12th place, which even guarantees the seeding of the champion until the last Champions League preliminary round. This position is held by Norway and the Czechs will hardly overtake them. It still has four participants in the game, Bodo Glimt is assured of at least the Conference League. The Czech Republic is 1.7 points behind.

Ukraine is very specific. Shakhtar and Dynamo Kiev are sure of the Europa League group, on the other hand Vorskla are out. Ukraine, unlike the Norwegians, is separated by five and the Czechs are now 0.875 points behind them.

Switzerland are on exactly the same points as Ukraine, but they split their gain by four. All its teams are in the game. Fifteenth-placed Greece is not in an ideal position, after PAOK Thessaloniki’s shocking elimination by Levski Sofia, the Greeks have only three representatives. The battle between Slavia and Panathinaikos will be very important.

The Czechs are 0.425 points behind the top 15, with one certain participant in the group stage (Viktoria Plzen) and two teams in contention. Dangerously close to the Czech Republic (specifically 0.6 points) is Denmark, who although separated by five, on the other hand have two Europa League group stages certain and all participants still in play.

The Croats are 0.775 points behind, while Dinamo Zagreb are certain of the Conference League; on the other hand, two of the four clubs have already dropped out. Turkey could be a dark horse. It has one certain Europa League, four other teams in qualification and is 2.225 points behind.

In the fight for the Top 15, it will be crucial for Slavia to knock out Greek rival Panathinaikos and then make it through to the group stage. Slovácko, who have two attempts to at least reach the Conference League, will also play an important role.
