Qualifying complete. It is time for the main event.
The Main Stage of the 2024-25 UEFA Conference League sees significant change, bringing to an end the long-standing group stage format, and replaced by a new 36-team league phase, with every side ranked after eight total fixtures, four at home home and four away.
No automatic qualifiers for this competition. Instead, it's the winners of 24 Play-Off Round ties who have been joined by the losers of the 12 UEFA Europa League Play-Off Round, forming a large group of teams that represent 29 nations in total.
The list includes multiple former champions, as well as sides making a long-awaited return to continental competition, and some who are brand new debutants in European club football.
In this bumper length video, I've compiled a prediction and preview for the entire League Phase. Running through in an ascending order, I've taken account of the individual fixture lists, and the quality players within each team, to externally predict the result of all 108 League Phase matches. Those predicted results spat out a 36-team table at the end, and it is that table which I have used as my official predicted ranking for this video.
Join me as we work from 36-1, discussing the stories of the sides who have made this Main Stage of Europe's tertiary club competition, as well as the challenges and opportunities that their fixture lists present to them, and the individual players who could prove the difference makers for them over the next few months...
