So it will be like this. Fixture 1: European team 1 vs Blank Fixture 2: European team 2 vs Blank …………. Fixture 8: European team 8 vs Blank Fixture 9: Blank vs Blank The pre draw determines if the European team will be playing at home or away from home.

54 Posted August 27, 2025 Share Posted August 27, 2025 What is the reason as to why we can't get drawn against another European team? I thought last year it was due to the Champions League opening game week being spread out over 2 weeks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought last year it was due to the Champions League opening game week being spread out over 2 weeks Because teams in Europe tend to be the cartel so keep them apart to stop them going out early so they have more chance reaching a final after ha ing an easier run and fewer games.

Yeah sorry I havent been caught up in the pessimism that has infected this forum. Thought we looked great against Villa and Liverpool, just need a couple of strikers or one striker and Isak returning to the fold and we are golden.

I think No, it is possible for all European teams to get a home draw, in fact I think last year only 1 team got an away draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
