Well above 85% of the teams present in the Portuguese first division, Braga is well below Porto, Benfica and Sporting. Often fourth on arrival, Braga is regularly present at this stage of the competition each year. Since 2016, Braga has participated in the Europa League no less than 8 times, eliminated from the league phase last year. Finally, the lights are green. Braga after his success in Cluj in Romania 1-2 in the first leg, started well in the league after a success in front of Tondela 3-0 Sunday.

  The Cluj Football Club, second last year, behind the FCSB, made a very alarming start to the championship. Indeed, after 4 days, Cluj occupies 13th place 4 points on the clock but did not play this reported weekend. Following a success against Lugano in the second round of the Europa League 0-0/1-0, Cluj therefore lost at home in front of Braga. The mobility of Jean-Baptise Gorby double, 17 'and 50' in the opposing ranks will have done far too much damage.

After a very nice 2nd place in 2024 in the league, Brann won the right to compete in qualifying for the Champions League for this season. It did not go very well in the first round against the regulars of Salzburg 5-2 cumulative, and the next step is so this semi-final of qualifies for the C3 against Hacken. The first leg was dominated and won quite quietly by the Norwegians 0-2. This good result is a continuation of a good season again in the championship, since this brann training occupies 3rd place. It is not necessarily the case for Hacken which is only 10th this season in the league and far from the first 3 qualifying places for the next European deadlines.

And last year this team finished 8th in the championship but still won its ticket for the C3 qualifiers by winning the Sweden Cup in the final against Malmo. Against all expectations, the first round went well since the Swedes came out Anderlecht at the Tab. But the task was bounded in this turn against Brann and a 0-2 logical defeat.

Iceland champion in 2024, Breidablik won his ticket for the C1 qualifiers. They started well with a fairly clear success on the Albanians of Egnatia 5-1 in accumulated, before a severe 8-1 received in the next round by Lech Poland who sends them to the semifinals of qualifying for the C3 against this Zrinjski team with whom the Icelanders hung a 1-1 draw despite a slight opposing domination. In the championship, it is quite complicated at the moment since bad results have brought Breidlik from 1st to 3rd place, now counting 7 points behind the leader Valur, who has just beat them 2-1.zrinjski found the title of champion last year after having missed him in 2023-2024.

And it was played at just 1 point with the title holder precisely. In any case, too, we had to go through qualifying towers for the C1, first victorious against Virtus 4-1 cumulative, but then released by the Slovan Bratislava 6-2 in cumulative. The Bosnians are therefore donated to these qualifies for the C3 with a first duel against Breidlik which ended on a 1-1 draw pending the return of the championship on August 16, after the return match.

The Kosovars of Drita can believe in the feat of reversing the situation after an excellent first leg despite the 3-2 defeat. 2 goals scored with the double holder of the title of champion of Romanian is not a story of luck but much of merit of having believed in his chances. As a reminder, this Drita training started its qualifying campaign in the Champions League but too short to get rid of the Danes of Copenhagen in the 2nd round defeat 2-0 on the outward journey and 0-1 on the return. The Kosovar championship has still not reopened.

It will start this weekend. For its part, the FCSB certainly made the effort to win, but the two goals conceded darken the match sheet. Today, and in view of the complicated context in the league with a single victory in five days and especially three successive defeats against the Farul Constanta 1-2, on the lawn of Dinamo Bucharest 4-3 and on the smallest of the scores last weekend against the promoted Unirea Slobozia 0-1, we wonder what physical level the players of the FCSB will move.

You should not lose the first leg in Larnaca or the minimum stay in the wake with a reverse of a maximum goal. Rather failed operation for Warsaw who will have to take out her best magic card to reverse the 4-1 defeat trend. It will be recalled that the Poles started this new season from July 10 via the first round of these Europa League qualifiers. At that precise moment, they released the Aktobe kazakhs by winning the two meetings 1-0 and 0-1. In the process, they got rid of the Czechs of Ostrava more difficultly by not winning outside during the first 2-2 round, 2-1 victory on home. Now walking seems higher with the Cypriots who had no remorse during the first salvo and the expulsion of Kapustka has not changed anything in the course of the match.

Note that the Polish championship has already reopened its doors for three days and the Legia took 7 points by winning against Katowice last weekend 3-1 and on the lawn of Korona at the J1 0-2. After having beaten the Partizan de Belgrade in the first round qualification in Tab, the Slovenes of Celje in the 2nd round 3-3 Aek Larnaca attacked Legia Warsaw by crushing it in the first leg at home 4-1. The qualification is practically acted for the only 4th in the last championship campaign. Cypriot football is evolving and the winner of the Cyprus Cup only confirms it. In addition, during the three friendly preparation games, no defeat is to be listed for the AEK which is therefore undefeated at the start of the 2025-26 season all friendly friendly competitions included.

The Maccabi Tel Aviv has taken a slight option on the qualification for the last round of these qualifiers by winning at the outward journey 1-2. It remains now more than to confirm this result, either by a draw or by the win to spin in the last round. The Israelis have recalled their qualification phase in the Champions League, but the sanction was formidable with a road trip against the Pafos 1-1 Cypriots on the outward journey, 0-1 defeat on home. Champion of Israel in reigning, the Maccabi Tel Aviv will only return to the championship from the weekend of August 23.

 The Hamrun Spartans must still believe it since it has only one goal to make up for the pedestal as the maccabi on the display board. The Maltese also participated in the qualifications of the Queen of European competitions, the Champions League but they failed to win in the 2nd round against the solid formation of Dynamo kyiv with two clinical defeats on the two 0-3 and 3-0 games. In the first round, the Spartans had already had to fight hard to extract from the Lithuanians of Zalgiris by offering a comeback to their supporters in the 2-0 defeat return match, victory 2-0 AP and qualification after the penalty shootout.

This period is often the most important for teams such as Midtjylland or Copenhagen in Denmark. Indeed, because their superiority on the local scene is no doubt. On the other hand, the two teams lose a lot of energy in this fight for qualifiers in Europe. FC Midtjylland 4th in Denmark started the local championship very badly, held in check 3 times in 4 games already, like this draw collected against Fredericia 3-3 at home.

In front, the Fredrikstad FK evolves within the very solid Norwegian championship where we find in particular training such as Bodoe/Glimt, Rosenborg and Viking and Viking FK. That said in mid-term, the small Norwegian training 7th victorious of the Cup last year is already distant from 16 points by the leader, whose match which should have taken place during the previous day against Brann, was postponed calendar for the Europa Cup. Beaten 3 goals to the house, the Norwegian training will be sentenced to a feat.

Noah won the title in his championship for the very first time last year, and quite largely. This first place allowed him to win a ticket to compete in the qualifiers for the C1, qualifiers which started with a success against Buducnost 3-2 in cumulative, before losing quite logically against Ferencvaros in the next round 6-4 in cumulative. Put back into qualifiers for the C3, the Armenians dominated Lincoln without being able to win 1-1, and will try to do the job on this return match. The local championship recently resumed by a victory against Shirak 4-0.  Lincoln also won his championship, but for the 5th time in a row and accuracy, on equal points with St Josephs.

A place that offered him the right to compete in qualifications for the Champions League. Qualifiers that started with a victory against Vikingur, resident of the Faroe Islands. No miracle on the other hand in the second round against the red star of Belgrade which won without trembling 6-1 in accumulated. This is why we find them in these qualifies for the C3, with a draw obtained during the first leg against Noah 1-1.

Donetsk was ahead of Dynamo kyiv in the past year ranking quickly presented itself in the first round of qualifying for the Europa League. Following a demonstration in front of LLVES 6-0/0-0, the Ukrainian club kept the tempo of its double-affourishment against Besiktas 2-4/2-0, before bringing a good draw of its trip to Pana last Thursday 0-0. The Shakthar is 3rd in the league with 4 points on the clock after 2 days. The Panathinaikos in a Greek championship where the UEFA index allows you to see two clubs in the Champions League, took the direction of qualifying in the second round against the Glasgow Rangers after having finished in 2nd place last year behind Olympiakos, the worst possible draw .

.. The Pana after a heavy downside 2-0 in the first leg, did 1-1. Pending the return of the Greek championship which will not resume until August 23, the Pana therefore conceded the 0-0 draw.

Utrecht regularly in the top 6 in the Netherlands, finds himself competing in the dams for the Europa League thanks to a beautiful 4th place acquired last year, behind the 3 Ogres PSV, Ajax and Feyenoord. The Eredivise is a very beautiful championship, Utrecht demonstrates it to us since the start of this campaign. Following a very rapid qualification in front of the S.Tiraspol 1-3/4-1, 7-2 Cumul in the second round of the competition, the Dutch training took the best in the first leg on the Servette by winning on the score of 3 goals to 1 in the league on Sunday, she went to Tabac Heracles 4-0.

 Opposite, the Geneva Servette failed to confirm its excellent 2024-25 season at the end of which it had finished in a place of Dauphin of FC Bale Champion. Qualified for the 2nd round of the Champions League, the Servette slipped in front of the Viktoria Plzen 0-1/1-3 before being destroyed by Utrecht 1-3 in its garden last Thursday. In order not to fix anything, the beginnings in the league are nightmarish like this 11th place on 12 teams and this shabby draw sharing points in front of Grasshoper 1-1 at home, a team that plays its maintenance.

Wolfsberger finished in 4th position in the Austrian championship, but only 3 points from the champion, the Sturm Graz. This training is therefore not to be taken lightly, she who achieved good preparation before passing the first round of the National Cup, and taking 3 points out of 6 for the moment in the league. But the most important thing is to pass this qualification lap against the PAOK to compete in C3 dams, and a good 0-0 draw was obtained to go with a slight domination. The PAOK on its side finished only 3rd in Greece, with 17 points behind the champion, Olympiakos.

A failed season for the title holder, who has also failed in the 1/16 final of the Europa League. A competition that the Greeks want to compete again, but you have to go through two rounds of qualifiers to get there. The first, not easy against this Wolfsberger team, catchy in the first leg 0-0.
