    For the first time since 2013-2014, which dropped out of the coefficients at the start of 2018-2019, a club from San Marino won. Tre Fiori won 3-0 hosting Bala of Wales. Bala had 61% of the possession and over double the combined corner kicks and free kicks. The Intertops Odds gave Tre Fiori only a 13.1% chance at winning. With the Preliminary Round added before Qualifying Round 1, there will be more points available for the bottom clubs.

    Hibs went through 12-5 on aggregate after playing in a cloud :ROFLMAO:

    Tre Fiori’s reward for being the first team from San Marino to win a tie was a 10-0 pumping by some mob from Slovenia.

    Some right big names come in now... Sevilla; Fiorentina, Beşiktaş, Bordeaux, Leipzig etc.

    Looks harder than the Champions League qualifying at the moment.

    The five best coefficients include two of the five clubs you listed, Sevilla and Besiktas. The next three best coefficients are by Sparta Prague, Copenhagen, and FCSB. You have the wrong Italian club. Fiorentina didn't qualify, and the Italian club starting here is Atalanta. It's notable that Burnley will play their first European game since 1966-1967.

    The 20 champions in Champions League Qualifying Round 2 have a mean coefficient of 13.617. I excluded the four non-champions in a separate path that would bring the mean up. The 74 clubs in Europa League Qualifying Round 2 have a mean coefficient of 9.604. In both competitions, I used the club's coefficient even if the club was different in the draw due to beating a club with a higher coefficient in Qualifying Round 1. For example, I used 2.000 for Suduva Marijampole when they were seeded with 27.000 because they beat APOEL Nicosia.
