Dacia did as expected win the league in Moldova. It is down to Borac now. 2 home wins against teams down the league will give them the title even if they lose to Zeljeznicar. Maribor could blow up in Slovenia but unlikely as they have a weak team left.
If Borac win the league then Rovers are seeded. I know they could still get a tough draw but much easier teams in the unseeded pot.
Are Rovers not already seeded?? Sparky8673799276552413 said earlier i the thread that if United beat Schalke then Rovers will be seeded, which they didQuote:

Yeah, what gspain said.Quote:

If you look at this link

You can see that rovers would definitely be unseeded if Georgians and Swedes hadn't moved up.
But now fall into the unknown category, until BH and Slovenia are decided - the two numbers for the co-efficient for those countries represent the min and max values possible. So Shams will only be unseeded if two clubs with higher co-efficients qualify from those countries. Maribor, have to be odds on to win in Slovenia, would definitely be seeded. Therefore the only, faint, threat to shams being seeded appears to come from Zeljeznicar.
Now I'm no expert on Bosnian football but i'm pretty sure these are the same teamQuote:

It is in the interests of all our clubs if Shamrock Rovers are seeded - better chance of winning and boosting our national coefficient thus boosting the chances of any of our clubs being seeded.
Just looking at Bertie Kass' site -If Shamrock Rovers get through the first rd what odds they get rangers in next rd?!

* Debrecen - in fourth - would be seeded Paksi/Ferencvaros [surprised by this] would have national score
** Could be one of 3, but, depending on Mol/Mac none would be seeded
*** 3 way battle for 3rd, Milsami would be unseeded, Olipmia - could also be CW - or Zimbru would be seeded
# Metalurg - also in CF - would be unseeded, Renova and/or Rabotnicki would be seeded
## Bosnian team should be safe, uless 5th/6th somehow manage to take last slot
Too many variables for next round, might be clearer after this weekend.

The FAI feel that a more likely scenario is an alteration in the size of the second round.
Still think we'll be in 3rd round, FAI just covering themselves.
If so, got as far as Shams did in Europe last year and we haven't even kicked a ball yet :).
