Indeed. Should be able to get it done so that you can leave our main players at home to focus on Villa.EastleighHammer16 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 02, 2022 1:38 pm Get the tie won at home and then we don’t have to worry about the 2nd leg. Should be straight forward.

Viborg have got a player called Jay-Roy Grot. What a great name.

Re: Europa Conference League 22-23
Viborg have just beaten the current Danish champions 4-2. A flukey win, but a reminder that anything is possible. They are going along quite nicely after three games in their league.

I live in Denmark, so I was crossing my fingers for this. Viborg are no mugs though, and we'll need to be on our toes!

Re: Europa Conference League 22-23
The intertoto was just a glorified set of preliminary qualifiers, as they still have now except they decided to call it a ‘cup’.Upminster Hammer wrote: ↑Tue Aug 02, 2022 11:57 am Is it any better than the intertoto cup? or just an extended version.
Winning that got you into the EUFA cup
Not remotely comparable to a full season competition in its own right.

It will 100% be a trip to Viborg. They are far better than the Faroese team.

Re: Europa Conference League 22-23
Viborg finished 7th out of 12 in the Danish league.
They qualified for the Conference League as strangely the league gets split into two after 22 games, you then play the 5 teams in your half of the table twice and that's the final table.
Viborg finished top of the Relegation league, and their prize was a play off game against the team that finished 5th in the Championship group, with the team who finished 6th getting nothing.

Re: Europa Conference League 22-23
This is correct, but they have looked sharp this season, and will be well into their season by the time we meet them (already 3 games in). Don't get me wrong, over two games we should beat them, but we should not underestimate them.Bubbles Fortuna wrote: ↑Tue Aug 02, 2022 2:01 pm Viborg finished 7th out of 12 in the Danish league.

Fly to Billund with Ryanair from Stanstead... Avoid Copenhagen (it's the opposite side of the country)

Scamacca could really get his numbers off to a hot start in this one.
