The group stage in the European club competitions has come to an end. Two Swiss teams, YB and Servette, qualified for the knockout rounds, while Lugano was eliminated. Now we move on to round 16. The draw for the pairs will take place next Monday (1 p.m. in the live ticker) at UEFA headquarters in Nyon.
YB, which thanks to its third place in the Champions League from the group with ManCity, Leipzig and Red Star Belgrade, can play in the Europa League next year, could face AS Roma. Or the Bundesliga club SC Freiburg – both opponents would be difficult for YB.
A reunion could happen
But the most special would be the one against Stade Rennes, when the Swiss champions would meet ex-player and Nati jewel Fabian Rieder (21), who wore the YB dress of the U16s until last summer and then bought France for 15 million euros. changed.
Other possible YB opponents: Sparta Prague, Marseille, Sporting Lisbon, Toulouse with the Swiss Vincent Sierro or FK Qarabag, which defeated FCZ in the second round of Champions League qualification last year.
Servette against Frankfurt?
The task is hardly easier for Servette, who finished third in the Europa League group with Slavia Prague, Rome and Sheriff and are now involved in the Conference League. When the going gets tough, Servette will face Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt.
The Croatian national champion Dinamo Zagreb or the Slovak champion Slovan Bratislava are also possible. Just like Legia Warsaw, Gent, Ludogorets or Bodö/Glimt, against whom Lugano played in the group stage of the Conference League (0:0 and 2:5).
These are important points
A look at the five-year UEFA coefficient rankings shows how important it would be for YB and Servette to progress. Switzerland is in 12th place with 31,775 points and continues to determine the European rankings for the 2024/25 season.
Closely behind Switzerland are Austria (31,600), Denmark (31,450), Norway (29,875) and Israel (29,625), all aiming for twelfth place. To achieve this, the clubs in these countries would have to do better than YB and Servette in the coming matches. (bjl/par)
