What does Thun need to go through in the Conference League?

Updated 25 September 2026, 2026/27 league phase

Thun will play 6 league-phase matches, 3 at home and 3 away. First match: 15 October, away against Twente. In our simulations Thun go through (24th place or better) in 48% of cases and make the top 8 in 6%. 7 points are usually enough (a team on that total goes through in more than half of the simulations), and 8 points make it almost certain. The biggest matches are against Hajduk Split (matchday 2) and Hearts (matchday 3): each result moves the chances by about 41 percentage points.

Projected Conference League table

The league phase has not started yet, so teams are ordered by their average projected position. On the right: chance of going through. The solid line after 8th means a direct place in the round of 16, the dashed line after 24th is the elimination line.

How the league phase works

The Conference League league phase has 36 teams in a single table. Each team plays 6 matches against different opponents, half at home and half away. The top eight go straight into the round of 16. Teams finishing 9th to 24th play a two-legged knockout play-off in February for a place in the round of 16, while 25th to 36th are eliminated.

If teams finish level on points, the order is decided by goal difference, then goals scored, away goals scored, wins, away wins and finally the combined record of their opponents.
