FCSB, the Romanian football club, has drawn a challenging group in the Europa League, facing teams like Manchester United and Rangers. Despite being ranked 34th out of 36 teams in a statistical analysis, the club is aiming for a spot in the knockout stages. Football Rankings, a statistical platform, has surprisingly placed Galatasaray as the most likely team to finish in the top eight, ahead of teams like Manchester United and Tottenham. This prediction has sparked interest and raised eyebrows as Galatasaray struggled in the Champions League qualifiers. While FCSB’s chances of reaching the top eight are slim, with a prediction of just 0.3%, they have a stronger chance of making the top 16 (3.1%) and top 24 (14.8%). Only Elfsborg and RFS are ranked lower than FCSB in the analysis. The new Europa League format features a single table for all 36 teams, with the top eight teams advancing directly to the knockout phase.
