Aris Thessaloniki Gre 13.415
Aberdeen Sco 11.064
FC Zürich *** Sui 9.869
AE Larissa Gre 8.415
AaB Aalborg @ Den 7.129
SK Brann Bergen * Nor 6.509
IF Elfsborg *** Swe 4.478
Helsingborg IF * Swe 3.478
As one can see were in pot three, which is ace as we avoid Athletico Madrid (my tip this year), Spartak Moscow and the bad true mentalists of Galatasaray.
Five team are drawn in each group, one from each pot, and each team will play four times in that group - two at home and two away. The top three will qualify from each group. Teams from the same nations are not allowed in each group. Aberdeen would be positively tropical at this time of year, and its possible.
So: Best Group, Worst Group?
