OTHER Some research teaches us that Anderlecht will be seeded in both Conference League preliminary rounds. The Purple & White currently still has a European coefficient of 25,000 points and therefore has to tolerate only three teams in front of them in the third preliminary round: Basel, Copenhagen and Ghent.


Possible opponents in that third preliminary round are then, descending according to their current coefficient:

Vitesse
Rubin Kazan
FC Sochi
Aberdeen
The New Saints
Spartak Trnava
Olimpija Ljubljana
Hibernian
Colossus Kovalivka
Vorskla Poltova
FK Sarajevo
Trabzonspor
Sivasspor
NK Osijek
Universitatea Craiova
AEL Limassol
FC Lucerne
9 more clubs to be determined, the majority of which will probably have a higher coefficient than Vitesse (with Marijampole, CSKA Sofia and Hajduk Split among the possibilities if they fall just outside the seed heads).

In the play-off round, Anderlecht will still be seeded, although it will have to give way to AS Roma, Tottenham and Villareal (together with the three clubs mentioned above). A selection of the possible opponents in this phase, descending by coefficient:
Molde FK
Union Berlin
Rosenborg
Maribor
Rijeka
Apollon Limassol
FC Fehérvár
Dundalk
Santa Clara
Paços de Ferreira
7 more clubs to be determined, the majority of which will probably have a higher coefficient than Molde FK (such as, for example, AEK Athene, Stade Rennais, Partizan Belgrade and BATE Borisov who can still become seeded, but can also fall just outside the range of protected clubs ).
