Europa Conference League 22-23

[Aztec Hammer]

Get the tie won at home and then we don’t have to worry about the 2nd leg. Should be straight forward.

Indeed. Should be able to get it done so that you can leave our main players at home to focus on Villa.

Faroe Islands really would be over land & sea

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

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!

Potential banana skin, although it could have been much worse

We’re 100% losing to “Toe Shaving.”

Is it any better than the intertoto cup? or just an extended version.

Winning that got you into the EUFA cup

The intertoto was just a glorified set of preliminary qualifiers, as they still have now except they decided to call it a ‘cup’.

Not remotely comparable to a full season competition in its own right.

[Ludeksgloves]

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

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.

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.

Astra Goo-goo will forever haunt us.

Any tips for getting over there from the UK, Ludo?

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

[Aztec Hammer]

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

[Ludeksgloves]

Flights also available to Billund from Heathrow from BA, but that is much more expensive...

[Ludeksgloves]

Actually, Flights also available to Aarhus, which is even closer than Billund

[Ludeksgloves]

Aarhus is also Denmarks second city, and has a lively nightlife.
