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

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

3rd favourite only because the champions lge teams aren’t in yet so the percentage is rubbish

3rd favourites because English bookies take more money on English clubs. It isn’t just based on how likely we are to win the whole thing but on what risk the bookies have too.

according to the BBC, BK Hacken have TWENTY EIGHT supporters at Aberdeen tonight. They are one nil up and going through as it stands... let's go there!

Capacity only 6.5k and Aberdeen only got 421 tickets so not many of us would get to go!

 

[ManOfSussex]

As per the first leg BK Hacken are 2-0 up on Aberdeen on the night. Can the Dons do what they did last week again?

It’s really not that.

Betting is a global industry. If that happened as you suggest then it would be easy for punters to make guaranteed cash by arbing bookies in different countries.

The market isn’t properly formed yet - teams still to qualify and the draw is still to take place. Most bookies haven’t priced it up yet - there wasn’t even a market on the Betfair exchange when I last looked.

They didn’t sell out.

 

[ManOfSussex]

And Aberdeen have a penalty.

 

[chimneys]

They didn’t sell out.

……so what was away capacity?!

 

[ManOfSussex]

Scores!

Just checked Champions League clubs and no announcement on dates of group fixtures 4 hours after draw. Wonder how much after the draw we might find out dates tomorrow.

During the draw, the UEFA bod said the actual fixtures would be released Saturday morning, so guessing will be the same for the Europa League.

I think that since BK Hacken's stadium (Bravida Arena) holds 6,500 spectators, that would b3 too small for UEFA's requirements (min. 8,000) so they would have to move to a larger ground - so it doesn't really matter anyway.

And Aberdeen miss a sitter.

Thanks. Was unaware of that minimum. Presume the minnows Rakow (Poland) the same then?

Ah thanks! Will save lots of checking every 2 minutes tomorrow afternoon!

 

[patchamalbion]

Very decent chance of a night in Athens then!

They're based in Gothenburg, AIK's stadium holds 50,000.
