Who must Slovácko or Sparta wish for in Europe? In case of promotion, the road to deployment is thorny

The coefficient is constantly discussed in the Czech football environment. It is very important for a country of our size and it will be no different this season. What could help Sparta and then Slovácko in case of promotion?

The Czech Republic once again starts the fight for the fifteenth place in the coefficient. There should be several opponents in the 2022/23 season, namely Ukraine, Norway, Switzerland, Greece, Croatia, Denmark, Turkey, Cyprus and Israel.

From the 13th to the 22nd position there is quite an interesting line-up and we can already be gloating to our cup rivals and wishing them out.

But the road is very long and we need to look especially at ourselves. Viktoria Plzeň managed their double-header in one way, Slavia should be able to cope with their Gibraltar opponents for the second time, Sparta are the biggest concern.

They have not won at home, but now they have to, their points will be very much needed. And that’s also for them, because they have a very bad club coefficient, which they have to raise if they don’t want to be always among the unseeded.

Slovácko is also in the game, starting next week against Turkish Fenerbahce. In the event of relegation, they will have one more shot at the group stage, in the Conference Europa League. But will they face a strong or a weak opponent?

It all depends on more than just today’s results. To be seeded in the next round, four teams from the EKL with higher coefficients must be eliminated. Specifically, the following teams.

The chances are not small at all. Sparta also has a chance, but first they would have to knock out Viking and then the next opponent, which would be either Motherwell or Sligo. However, Letenski would only be seeded if seven teams drop out.
