[Albion] 2023-24 UEFA Europa League Playoff Round

Can someone repost the likely allocations please? Can't find it anywhere.

It seems Qarabag play at different stadiums for league and europa cup - Their last home game on 14th December 2023 Vs Hacken was at Tofiq stadium which (google tells me..) holds 31,000 - Do they also play at the National stadium (Circa 68k) depending upon competition and opposition ?

They’ve played all of their Europa League games this season at Tofiq, including qualifiers.

They’ve previously used the Baku Olympic stadium for Champions League games.

I did, post 31. Since established that Qarabag p;ay at a different stadium now with a higher capacity.

Found it...

[Albion] - Europa League R16 away allocation

Has anyone gone to the bother of working out what our, worst case scenario, away allocation could be for the Europa League R16?

Created a fun sheet of cities I'm happy to fly to, excluding small capacity stadiums (I won't get a ticket) and teams highly unlikely to qualify.

And I'm left with... Rome, Milan and Lisbon x 2.

(Roma preferred given league form.)

Not Hamburg (where Shakhtar play)? Marseille might be slight favourites in the return leg but it’s definitely still in the balance.

If Sporting and Benfica both progress will we know before the draw is made which of them will be playing weds 6th ?

Yeah, I dismissed it as Marseille have edge. But you're right, could go either way.

Marseille are all over the place defensively. Wouldn't be surprised if next week's second leg at the Stade Velodrome finishes 5-5 on aggregate and gets decided on penalties.

Just hope it doesn't come back and bite me on the arse

I know this has been done to death but just created this table of all the teams still able to make (or already made) the last 16. Looking likely to be bloody hard to get through the next round (not that we won't give it a bloody good try) as there are very likely going to be 7 teams who currently lead their respective divisions and 3 of those are teams we could get drawn against. (The Game nos. in black currently show who we could face, with a couple in grey as they drew the 1st Leg).
Lge Win % puts us currently 19th in the table and quite likely that only West Ham and Marseille are going to be below us in terms of the ranking based on Lge form of the teams that make the final 16 (Freiberg currently 2 down on agg to Lens and Toulouse still behind on agg to Benfica). Thankfully our Europa Lge form was exceptional over the last 4 games so lets hope that continues 'cos looking at the league form, not many teams are losing games in their leagues at the moment.

Doesn't matter where teams are in their respective divisions without a direct comparison to their leagues standard to the Premier league.
