Taking into account all probabilities, domestic title chances & coeff projections, here are the % to get a direct UCL ticket: 34% ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ท Olympiacos (๐Ÿ†, 75.185) 25% ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Shakhtar (๐Ÿ†, 64.406) 19% ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ด Bodรธ/Glimt (๐Ÿ†, 64.331) 18% ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡บ Ferencvรกros (๐Ÿ†, 64.073) 2% ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ FC Copenhagen (๐Ÿ†, 56.623) 1% ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ Midtjylland (๐Ÿ†, 50.532) ... ๐Ÿ‘‰ Full team-level projections and rebalancing scenarios available at football-md.com/coefficientsโ€ฆ
