Champions League Qualifying ,All Chat In Here.

Cyprus is an amazing place for sure.

 

for goodness sake guys you are beginning to sound like England in the world cup who do you think we will play in the final. if we beat the fins its a whole shark awaiting that's the bottom line no matter what . lets just get through wed hail, hail

 

fantic

No one is saying that. It's just better to know potential opponents, surely?

 

any links for the game the night lads?

 

Dudelange are 17/1 to beat Maribor tonight! Granted Maribor are at home but 17/1 is huge. I'm all over that.

 

Look in the official match thread

The other results from last night for those interested.

 

helsingborg beat slask wroclaw 3-0 last night, unbelievable

 

In Poland too Ciaran. Amazing result.

 

Let's make the assumption that the following teams in bold will progress after their 1st leg results (Purely the champions route of the draw) :

NK Maribor 4-1 F91 Dudelange
BATE Borisov 1-1 Debrecen (93rd minute equaliser for BATE, *!)
CFR Cluj 1-0 Slovan Liberec (Would like Liberec to progress but fancy CFR)
Anderlecht 5-0 Ekranas
Slask Wroclaw 0-3 Helsinborg
Sheriff Tiraspol 0-1 Dinamo Zagreb
CELTIC 2-1 HJK Helsinki (3-2 away defeat or draw please for the love of Henrik)
Molde 0-1 Basel
Ironi Kiryat Shmona 4-0 Neftchi Baku (Israeli champions incase you wondered!)
AEL Limassol 1-0 Partizan Belgrade (Hope, like BATE, PB are knocked out for our benefit)

The draw for the final play off round would look like this:

Seeded teams
Basel (Switzerland)
Anderlecht (Belgium)
CELTIC (Scotland)
Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia)
CFR Cluj (Romania)

Unseeded teams
Helsinborg (Sweden)
Debrecen (Hungary)
NK Maribor (Slovenia)
AEL Limassol (Cyprus)
Ironi Kiryat Shmona (Israe)

Against any of the above 5 teams, I would be fairly confident of progressing into the group stage for the first time in 4 years...aslong as we're away from home first and buy atleast 1 CB/ST before the 2 legs.

 

What teams can we play in the europa league when we get knocked out?

 

we wont get knocked out

 

Why be so negative so early in the campaign?

 

Because it's so early in the campaign....and were going to be knocked out....by Helsinki.

 

I see you ask the same question in the match thread also from last night ,quite easy ,go to the Europa League and see for yourself who Celtic won't be playing ,Stick to the main topic of the Thread.

 

cheesepoo

You must be a Sevconian with that kind of talk.

 

thats your opinion, i really think we will get past Helsinki

 

cheesepoo

Out of curiosity, why not say 'I think there's a big chance we could be knocked out by HJK Helsinki' or something along those lines. The fact you state it as a fact, after we WON the 1st leg, is ridiculous and quite frankly Sevconian of you.

 

The teams we could face in the play-off aren't that much better than HJK.

 

Indeed but they definitely are better so any game is a hard game, just pray to Henrik we knock out those pesky Finns to actually be involved in the play off round in the first place.
