New teams in Europe entering in this round:
- FK ++elezni-iar Pan-ievo, who finished fourth in the Serbian SuperLiga
- FC LNZ Cherkasy, the runners-up of the Ukrainian Premier League

Czech cup winners Karvin|i, who would enter the Europa League Playoffs
and be guaranteed at least Conference League league stage, ought to get
banned from Europe because of the domestic match-fixing scandal they're involved in, and it's a bit of a travesty that it hasn't happened yet
because of the repercussions down the line regarding the other Czech
entries (and their seeding status).

We'll see whether the Czechs will have to lose an entry altogether
(which would be the right call IMO).

Annoyingly they wonrCOt. Karvin|i have been banned as
expected, but the three non-CL Czech entries simply
move one up.

Viktoria Plze+e takes Karvin|irCOs spot in EL-PO
Hradec Kralov|- takes ViktoriarCOs spot in EL-Q2
(against Troms|+)
Jablonec takes Hradec Kralov|-rCOs spot in ConfL-Q2
(against Vara++din)

The annoying thing is that this has already screwed
up the seeding lines in the EL and ConfL draws.
