[Football] Who will qualify for the 2023-24 UEFA Europa League?

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

The opposite actually. A definite trip to Glasgow

Oh yeah!

 

[SpongebobSquarepants]

And probably 2 teams from Athens in the draw

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Oh yeah!

Careful what you wish for. I love Glasgow, and have relatives there. But Rangers in Brighton? No thanks!

 

[pasty]

PSV 4-1 up now

 

[chimneys]

And probably 2 teams from Athens in the draw

And 3 from Greece!

 

[patchamalbion]

And probably 2 teams from Athens in the draw

All three will be won’t they?

 

[SweatyMexican]

Goldson scores an embarrassing own goal. Sums up their night.

See them in the Europa!

Oops a daisy Connor

I’m from Glasgow and a childhood Rangers fan attending a number of games including old firm at Celtic Park as a teen.
I think that having a bunch of bears in Brighton would be no different to having a bunch of ultras from Greece visting.
The city won’t know what’s hit it either way. Glaswegians tend to visit Blackpool in the Glasgow fair….

Policing/logistics will be off the scale as we need to get them from pier to AMEX without a riot.
Palace is a cake walk in comparison to some of these teams

 

[Iggle Piggle]

Reading about the fans of all these teams, my prediction is that the Palace Pier will look like the West Pier by Christmas.

AEK Athens (Greece), Rakow Czestochowa (Poland) and Rangers (Scotland) have all qualified for the 2023-24 UEFA Europa League!
This is because they lost their Champions League play-off matches...

AEK Athens (Greece) lost 2-1 at home to Antwerp (Belgium) in the second leg, conceding a 1-3 defeat on aggregate.
Rakow Czestochowa (Poland) drew 1-1 at Copenhagen (Denmark), but were defeated on aggregate 1-2 and so Brighton will not be playing a team from Denmark in this season's Europa League group stage.
And, Rangers (Scotland) lost 5-1 (yes, that's right) away at PSV Eindhoven (Netherlands), losing 3-7 on aggregate.

Tomorrow, we will know the last 10 teams to qualify for the competition in the Europa League play-offs - which include Ajax (Netherlands)

EDIT: The list of qualified teams is on post #1, and the NEW pot projections are below...

So a 3 in 8 chance of going to Athens as they can’t be drawn in same group?!

My reading of it from the perspective of ‘which pot will we be in?’ is: for Albion to be pot 2, we need at least *three* of these six to win their ties in tomorrow’s second legs: Luhansk, Mostar, Cukaricki, Ljubljana, Limassol, Sparta Praha. Their ties are the only ones that affect which pot we end up in, because they’re a team ranked below us, playing against a team ranked above us. They are all behind after the first legs, though five of them play at home tomorrow.

You have probably researched this better than I have previously, so I'll take your word about wanting those teams to win for pot two, albeit unlikely.
The only thing is that I think it will be four of the six, right? Because if it was three, it would only make us the highest ranked team in pot three based on coefficient?

 

[Paris]

Glasgow Rangers fans on their forum dreading getting the Albion from pot 3 on Friday.

Really hope not. Want three exotic sounding teams please!

I worked it out last week and may have made a mistake but I was pretty damn sure when I did it. It also depended on three Chsmpions league qualifiers which have all gone the right way.

Thank you as ever!

Oh l wouldn't mind one team from north of the border, nipping up to Glesgae on the train is a lot less hassle than travelling to a few of the possible destinations.
