Rivalry, non-rivalry, if Sparta and Plzen want to have the best possible starting position in the next European Cups, they have to root for Slavia. The latter has been pulling the coefficient alone in recent years and can still record a lot of points in the Conference League.
The dream 15th place in the national coefficients, which guarantees two teams in the Champions League preliminary round, is within reach. But Czech fans have to cheer for the other teams as well.
Greece are currently in 15th place. PAOK Thessaloniki, who beat Gent 1-0 in their first game, are in the running. In the rematch, we have to wish for the Belgian team to advance.
The Czechs are 0.1 coefficient points behind the Greeks, which equals one draw. We must also root for Slavia to not only advance, but ideally also win the rematch with LASK Linz.
The next match we need to focus on is FC Copenhagen – PSV Eindhoven. The Danes are 0.525 points behind the Greeks and the first leg ended in a wild 4-4 draw. In the rematch, we have to wish for the Dutch team to advance.
Our eyes will also be on the Europa League. Turkey is also in the running for the 15th place, with Galatasaray, who are playing Barcelona, still in the mix. The opening game at Camp Nou was a 0:0 draw, so we would be playing into the hands of the Catalans.
Bodo Glimt should not be forgotten either. Norway are 1200 points behind, which equates to two wins and a draw. In the first match they won against Alkmaar 2:1, so we will be rooting for the Dutch team in the rematch.
