Who to root for or vice versa because of the coefficient? If both Slavia and Slovácko advance, we can look ahead

Viktoria Plzeň is done, Slovácko and Slavia are waiting for the last step. The group stage is around the corner, all we need to do is advance past the last opponent. In addition, fans of the Czech quotient will also be watching other teams. Who can we wish for and who not?

We have to cheer especially for the Czech representatives. Viktoria Plzeň will play in the Champions League, in which they are unlikely to score many points. However, if Slovácko and Slavia advance, we won’t have to worry too much.

Slovácko are playing fantastically, with a three goal lead, while Slavia are a goal down, but playing at home where they are regularly strong. How are our competitors?

Twelfth place belongs to Norway, who now have Viking and Molde still in the game. While Sparta beat FCSB in their opening game, Molde fell to Wolfsberg. It would definitely be a good way to drop out, as the Nordic country already has a 0.450 point lead.

Thirteenth-placed Russia is not participating, 14th place now belongs to us, thanks also to Plzeň, who got points for qualifying for the LM. We have a 0.350 point lead on fifteenth Ukraine, with Dnipro now in the game, having fallen to Larnaca in their opening match. However, if they lose again, they will play in the EKL and thus there will be hope for a higher points haul.

Sixteenth-placed Switzerland have three teams in the game on Thursday, namely Zurich, who won 2-1 against Hearts in the Europa League, and Basel, who lost 0-1 to Sofia in the EKL, with Young Boys recording the same result against Anderlecht.

The chances of getting relegated are not slim at all and we could definitely do with the Swiss getting out. The lead is now 0,375. Croatia is in 17th place and is already 1,400 points behind us.

Hajduk will play today in the EKL, but they fell to Villarreal 2: 4 and if nothing unexpected happens, we may well be able to scratch this country already.

This is a question of what to wish for in the case of eighteenth-ranked Greece. Olympiakos are now in the game, having drawn with Apollon 1: 1, but this is the EL, so their promotion would be better.

The Greek loss is 1,450 points. Nineteenth Denmark has Silkeborg in the EL, who fell to Helsinki 0: 1, and Viborg in the EKL, who lost to West Ham 1: 3. So we can say that things are looking pretty good here too.

The other countries are more than three points behind, so we won’t include them now, although this will certainly change in the next rounds. Israel, Turkey and Cyprus may be on our heels in the future.
