If you look at the results against top 5 here, you'll see that they have only lost 4 out of 9 (two of them against us). My point is if you purely look at their 15th position you'd think that they were a walkover regardless of the European position. Atleast I wouldn't blame anyone for thinking that, because how many teams at around 15th has lost just 4 games vs top 5? However these results shows that they were not a walkover if it wasn't for this outside factor. Now, instead of being a team that can evidently pull a draw against any top side, it's extremely unlikely that they will be of any help.
