Europa League.Teams needing to win

They should have further broke that down into teams needing to win vs teams with nothing to play for. I don't have the data sets used but I'm guessing there are number of fixtures included where both teams need to win which distorts the figures from anything meaningful.

Perhaps they outlined their methodology and that issue in the write up?

Teams needing to win CJ70 ARE....


AZ
Standard
Braga
Feyenoord
Austria Vienna
Maccabi
Dundalk draw might do it
Astra can be pipped by Celta

Saints need a draw as Hapoel do but Hapoel need a score draw.

That's most of it.

Group L looks very open villareal v steaua bucherest  and osmanlispor v fc Zurich  all 4 still have chance

a few 4pm kick offs today

When we say need to win, we're saying need to win to guarantee qualification?

Because Standard and Braga don't need to win. Both can go through even if they lose if other results go there way.

Villareal 1-0

Braga 0 - Shakta 1

I would guess the clue is if other results go their way. If they don't they need to win

thought the game was a Baga' Shykt until then

goalfest at Braga

Looks good for Villareal if they win they are through Zurich have to go for it now they need to win if not they are out

Good spot anxious. Had a small interest in a goal in the Zurich game.

villareal 1-1

wasn't expecting that

anyone remember Steaua's rivals  universitatea craiova - used to play in the old UEFA cup -always kicked off at 2pm 

oops 1-1 now Villareal

lively old crowd at their games

Were Steaua the original army club I think

believe so anxious

Yeah I think they were but at the moment with this score they are still on their way out

Clubul Sportiv al Armatei Steaua – Army Sports Club Steaua

Be another goal in this I think

those east european games always cracked me up  - about 500 members of the army patrolling the game - strange kick off times - firecrackers .

decent tems then before many of their stars moved to the bigger leagues

1-3 Shaktar now

oh yes some great players

Fiona and Tina  1 up at Teabag

shaktah running riot

Gone for a goal in the Zurich game...lively enough

I think Red star Belgrade v dynamo Zagreb nearly started the Balkan war in 92

Boom!

all going on at Quabag

puell seems to be taking the comp more seriously than some, saints are not in the best of form but i still cannot see hapoel getting a win.

creating lots of chances but just need a proper centre forward, shane long blows hot and cold, and whilst charlie austin does his best

his better days are gone, after long consideration its a LAY of HAPOEL for me.  good luck. 

those osman boys have got the goal at last

red card steau

villareal 2-1 good goal

BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Gent!!!!!

5th minute of injury time!!!

Gent got me out of jail too

anxious

Nice one
