Europa League
Coefficients table. Ukraine approached Russia, but Norway passed us
This week, two Ukrainian teams played European Cup matches. Discovering the changes UEFA coefficient table.
The capital “Dynamo” has secured the group stage of one of the European Cups (Champions League or LE). Kievans defeated Fenerbahçe (2:1 OT) in a tough match in the second quarter of the Champions League. However, Poltava “Vorskla” lost to Swedish team AIK (3:2) in the second quarter of the Conference League, becoming the first Ukrainian team to leave the European competition.
written Ukraine Points are based on Shakhtar’s Champions League group round bonuses (4) and qualifying success divided by two: Dynamo (1.5) and Vorskla (1.0). A total of 6.5 divided by 5 clubs gives 1,300. For the current season, Ukraine scored 1,300 points for reference: this is the 27th place in the season (which has not yet played a special role).
Five-year ranking Ukraine It is ranked 14th. The Blue-Yellows approached Russia (1,015 points still to be earned), whose clubs were disqualified due to the military occupation of Ukraine. But there is also a surprise.
Norway He moved up to 13th place, surpassing Ukraine. It’s hard to remember when this country was higher in the rankings than Ukraine. But so far this pass is not critical, the difference is minimal (0.025) and the main events of the season are ahead.
Norway is represented by 4 clubs and all have successfully passed the 2nd qualifying round: Boude-Glimt (Championship), Lilleström, Molde and Viking (LC). Obviously, not European giants, so we hope for a reverse position change in the near future.
To have a chance to place the national champion directly into the Champions League 2024/25 group stage, it is necessary to place 11th in the five-year standings at the end of the season. So, an important task for the season is to try to impose the competition in the fight for 11th place. Serbia, 2,650 points more so far. It’s good that Serbia already has a loss: Radnički Niš club has left the Conference League.
