What are the chances of us playing a german/belgian/dutch side?

What are the chances of us playing a german/belgian/dutch side?

I think we've got 0% on a German side if we get through to pot two due to Mainz going out.

For Belgian, well Zulte-Waregem were eliminated last night so that leaves us with Club Brugge and Standard Líege who should both be in pot two also.

Dutch teams include PSV and Twente, in pot one, which would represent a 2/13 chance of drawing one of them, the other two Dutch team still in it is PEC Zwolle,who'll undoubtedly be in pot 3 or 4 along with Feijinoord who were knocked out the Champions League by Besiktas last night. Again that'll represent a 1/7 chance in another pot.
Groningen, were knocked out by Aberdeen in the second qualifying round.

Celtic reinstated into the Champions League at the expense of Legia Warsaw.

 

[MartSlinger]

So with Celtic back in the Champions League, what does that do to our pot position?

We are based in currently projections the bottom team in pot two.


Obviously, this may still change due to CL dropouts.

Just seen the Celtic news, how lucky is that? The ineligible player only came on for 2 minutes at the end.

Cheers la! Had a feeling we'd be bottom of the Pot 2.

Real stupidity by Warsaw. Imagine to loose a chance to reach the CL in that fashion. But one can also wonder if UEFA wanted to have Celtic through. Apparently the player has been sidelined for 3 games (2 games agaist St Patrick and the first leg against Celtic) but UEFA didn't allow the polish club to count the two games against St Patrick.

 

[hornbychaser]

Now that we've reached Pot 2, there are 14 teams ahead of us who could lose in the play-off round and move us up further but only 5 teams who could drop in from the Champions League and move us down. I like those odds and expect us to be in the middle of Pot 2 when the draw is made.

Thanks!

I wouldn't mind a dutch side based on those projections, I would rather we played a team in a relatively cool country that's worth the visit as opposed to a trip to war torn ukraine

 

[DevineEFC]

Looks like aswell with Celtic going back to CL we are currently bottom of POT 2

EDIT: Mentioned already .. carry on

 

[cjuk87]

Bad news for blues hoping for a trip to Germany is that Mainz, who would have been in pot 3 or 4, have been knocked out by Asteris Tripolis of Greece, sadly this means one less trip to Germany is possible now, and Moenchengladbach and Wolfburg are likely to be in our pot, so you'll have to wait until next year for any German trip.

SAKE! Was really wanting that trip, i'm still not going to Russia with you

Well, they're all tricky games there... I wouldn't want to predict any of them.
