It is possible that Anderlecht won't be a seeded team in the third and last Champions League qualification round. Two changes, one in the Portuguese league and one in the French league, could be responsible for that.


If Marseille (4th with 58 points) manage to overtake Nancy (3rd with 60 points) AND Benfica (4th with 49 points) manage to end before Guimaraes (3rd with 50 points) in their respective leagues, the Mauves won't have a seeding, due to the other teams having a higher coefficient ranking.

Based the the current situation in foreign leagues, these are the possible opponents for the second qualification round:
IFK Göteborg (Swe), Famagousta (Cyp), Tampere (Fin), Dinamo Tbilissi (Geo), Ventspils (Let), R. Skopje (Mac), FBK Kaunas (Lit), Sheriff Tiraspol (Mol), Drogheda Utd (Ire) and V. Reykjavik (Ice).

In case of a qualification for the next round, these are the possible opponents based on the current situation in foreign leagues:
Atletico Madrid (Spa), Sparta Praag (Cze), Dinamo Kiev (Ukr), Galatasaray (Tur), Nancy (Fra), Partizan Belgrado (Ser), Vitoria Guimaraes (Por), CSKA Sofia (Bul), Dinamo Zagreb (Cro), Wisla Krakau(Pol) and Brann Bergen (Nor).
