Nah, it's a good draw for us. We dodged so many other good clubs.

Teams like Sporting, Benfica, Villarreal are the ones we tend to struggle the most against.

Home or away, Benfica will toy with us as they always do.

 

[Akshen]

oh, we play Bodo away in Norway and on their artificial turf, which will be really tough.

Roma knows somwthing about it

I hate them, would prefer Arsenal or City

 

[Pirlo's Beard]

If we lose to Benfica again we should disband the club.

 

[iosono.bianconero]

Dortmund - home - Draw
Real madrid - away - Loss
Benfica - home - Loss
Vilareal - away - Draw
Sporting - home - Draw
Bodo Glimt - away - Draw
Pafos - home - Win
Monaco - away - Draw

Can we go to the playoffs with 7 points?

 

[Bjerknes]

I can see us not winning a single match in the first six.

 

[mondo1]

We have a chance to finish somewhere between 17th and 24th. We got lucky again and will crash out to some random team in the quali round

If we play Benfica in late December with qualification on the line, we will 100% lose

It's crazy we always play them when qualification is on the line and when its raining in Turin lol

We have the worst record against them out of any big team

It’s a very likely scenario, and it will still hurt the same as it always does.

 

[Zzak]

Dortmund - home - Win
Real madrid - away - Loss
Benfica - home - Win
Villareal - away - Draw
Sporting - home - Win
Bodo Glimt - away - easy Win
Pafos - home - Walk in the park
Monaco - away - Win

The only hard to win match is the one with Real. Otherwise every match is winnable and we will be up against inferior opposition (on paper)

Guys, don't overdo it; Juventus has a better squad than last year. Benfica beat Fenerbahce just barely.

Dortmund - Draw
Madrid - Draw (yes I think we will get a surprise result here)
Benfica- loss
Villarreal - Loss
Sporting - Win
Bodo- Win
Pafos- Win
Monaco- Loss

So 11 pts. Either narrowly miss out on the round of 24 or just about make it.

Id consider it a success. We are not even close to be a top16 team in Europe. So everything close to round of last 16 is a success

What was that team that knocked out Celtic?

If we show up to all these games with the proper physical intensity and are spared injury wise we will easily qualify

A similar draw, with the exception that last year we got two tough teams from pot 4 (Aston Villa and Stuttgart) while this year we got one tougher opponent from pot 2 (Villarreal vs Brugge last year).

Sporting - Win
Bodo- Win
Pafos- Win
Monaco- Loss

So 11 pts. Either narrowly miss out on the round of 24 or just about make it.

I think Monaco is a match we could easily steal.

So much of this is going to depend on the balance Tudor puts on our roster and our depth.

We still desperately need a LWB and LCB.

 

[Alen]

But yeah, we will most probably finish 9-24 and we'll have to play a qualifier for the round of 16.

Making the round of 16 for this team should be considered a resounding success.

I mean I want to be optimistic but we have Cassius Kelly at the back lol and all our defenders bar Bremer are prone to brainfarts. We just don't score enough goals to make up for the defensive lapses either.

Realistically, we'll just about qualify and with a good draw, make the round of 16. Anything beyond that should be considered a bonus.
