Celtic's Champions League season 17/18

3

 

it is regionalised i believe so i don't think they would be an option


ps-round 2 that is. round 3 and the play-off are a free for all geographically!

 

2nd, 3rd and Play offs.
Will be seeded in all 3

Our first game in the second round should be handy enough regardless but especially when you look at the geographical breakdown.
The next rounds I have a feeling I'll be watching from behind the couch. We should be more than good enough to negotiate the three rounds but anything can happen in knockout football. I think Brendan will have them very well prepared tho, plus we have a year as a squad under him too as opposed to last years qualifying games. A lot of positives in our favour this time round.

 

They lose out to FH by 0.325 coefficient points

Aw that's good

 

that's exactly where i'm at mate! Easy to get carried away after a season like that and let's just say i'm quietly confident...some of these rounds are fraught with danger!

 

Our possible opponents in 3rd rd

• Winners of match involving Malmö FF CC: 16.945
• Winners of match involving Astana CC: 16.800
• Winners of match involving Partizan CC: 16.075
• Winners of match involving Rijeka CC: 15.550
• Winners of match involving Rosenborg CC: 12.665
• Winners of match involving Sheriff Tiraspol CC: 11.150
• Winners of match involving Hapoel Be'er Sheva CC: 10.875
• Slavia Prague CC: 8.135
• Winners of match involving FH CC: 6.175
• Viitorul Constanța CC: 5.870

 

That's some * chance of a draw * me!

 

Would hope to avoid rosenrborg and be'er sheva, that romanian team would be a brillant draw.

 

Assuming seeded teams win throughout until GS then our possible Play off opponents will be from

• Olympiacos CC: 64.580
• Red Bull Salzburg CC: 40.570
• Copenhagen CC: 37.800
• Ludogorets Razgrad CC: 34.175
• BATE Borisov CC: 29.475
• Legia Warsaw CC: 28.450
• APOEL CC: 26.210
• Maribor CC: 21.125
• Qarabağ CC: 18.050

 

So am I right in saying that it could be

Bare, legia, Apoel, Maribor or carrier bag as olympicos, RB Salzsberg, Copenhagen and ludogrets would be seeded like us

 

* me theres some tough teams there. Would pray for maribor, qarabag or apoel, maybe Bate.

 

The easy one to get to is Olympiakos.
Train station right outside stadium.
get the Green Line from Monastiraki station towards Piraeus port.

They will really hate getting us.
Their fiercest rivals domestically are Pananthanaikos who also have Shamrock as crest and play in Green and White.

 

It's kind of weird in a way olympiacos don't scare me. I guess it's cause we know they arn't a potential banana skin game and we wouldn't under-estimate them.

 

Correct since 3rd rd is seeded as is play offs our possible opponents in play offs would be from

• BATE Borisov CC: 29.475
• Legia Warsaw CC: 28.450
• APOEL CC: 26.210
• Maribor CC: 21.125
• Qarabağ CC: 18.050

 

No easy route to the groups, by the looks of it.

 

Thats if all seeded teams progress from round one to round two to round 3. Very likely a few of those more difficult ties on paper could be eliminated by the third round.

 

Hope so.
As long as we arent one of the seeded teams knocked out.
