I find all the rules of these Euro comps mind blowing , if Celtic or Rangers do badly in Euro League could they end up in the conference league in the knockout stages.?
Thank you for all the information, that's a great read. I'm pretty clued up with european teams as i watch a ton of football not just spurs but the slovenian league is one i don't really know much about. That's a pity spurs won't be playing in the Mura ground but great news you can watch the game. Hope you can post some pics from the match when it takes place.Hi there. Besides being Spurs fan I am also fan of Mura. It is my local team. I live in Murska Sobota (Slovenia) which is a small town with population of just 15k people. I live less than a mile away from the stadion. Club was founded more than 50 yrs ago but it went bankrupt twice so last official date of birth is around 9 years ago.
Mura started in 5th league 9 yrs ago and continously climbed leagues. 2 years ago we were cup winners and last year 1st league winners. All this with no any financial boost, just proper work with academy sustainable strategy. Sounds romantic but it still happens, yes
Being drawn into the same group as Tottenham is absolutely cherry on top for everyone around the club and especialy me. I can not believe it simply. It will be absolute walk for Spurs but doesnt matter.
Oh, and the match wont be placed in Murska Sobota as Stadion Fazanerija is not approved by UEFA for such occasions but will take place in Maribor (Stadion Ljudski Vrt). Spurs already faced NK Maribor there few yrs ago. It is 60km away from Murska Sobota so nothing prevents me from buzzing to see Spurs (against Mura!!) for 2nd time in my life.
Cheers to everyone from Spurs&Mura supporter, See you!

Yes, every 1st placed team goes straight to round of 16, every 2nd placed team has to play a playoff against a team that finished 3rd in their Europa League group.I find all the rules of these Euro comps mind blowing , if Celtic or Rangers do badly in Euro League could they end up in the conference league in the knockout stages.?
Simple UEFA coefficient and Rennes having done very little in Europe in the last five years.Have questioned our presence in this competition, not from the fact that some may feel its beneath us, but this competition was designed to benefit teams from countries with lower Euro Coefficients. Essentially, ourselves, Rennes, Union Berlin & Roma shouldn't be here, this competition is for the likes of Mura.
Given that the four teams mentioned shouldn't be here, how have the seedings allowed us and Rennes to be drawn in the same group.
Anyway, if we are in it we should try to win it.

Makes the conference more prestigious if the likes of the mighty Ludogorets or Midtjylland get relegated down, would make our Audi Cup success seem insignificant.It's been a thing with 3rd place CL dropping into EL knockout stages for years. Now it just continues one step down.

I'd say that isn't on accident. Sooner or later they'll want to mostly replace direct qualification through domestic leagues with promotion and relegation between the tournaments each year.Makes more sense now that it's three tiers, actually. Almost becomes three divisions with in-season "relegation" where clubs can go from Champions League playoffs to Conference Leage.
Dunno why it feels less arbitrary now than when it was between just two competitions.
Do think they should make the prize for winning it a UCL playoff place instead of a EL group stage place.
