Chelsea sits comfortably at the top, having secured an impressive 13 points with a dominant goal difference of +9. Their consistent performances have made them the clear frontrunners, and they are on course to secure a direct path to the Round of 16.
However, hot on Chelsea’s heels are Legia Warszawa, Jagiellonia, SK Rapid, and Vitória SC, each boasting 9 points, all competing fiercely to maintain their positions in the coveted top spots. Heidenheim and Shamrock Rovers are close behind with 7 points, their sights set on breaking into the top tier to secure Round of 16 qualifications. Fiorentina, currently with 6 points, rounds out the list of those aiming for automatic qualification, yet they sit just on the edge, facing pressure from the teams below.
Meanwhile, clubs like Pafos, Olimpija, Lugano, Hearts, Gent, and Vikingur R. — all sitting with 6 points — are still in the fight for a place in the Knockout Phase Play-Offs. These mid-table teams are separated by narrow margins, and with the stakes high, each game ahead could dramatically alter their fate.
Towards the lower end of the standings, clubs like Astana, HJK, and St. Gallen find themselves in precarious positions, just above the elimination zone with 3 points. They have little room for error if they want to keep their tournament dreams alive. Copenhagen, LASK, and Panathinaikos are struggling, with only 2 and 1 points each, their qualification hopes quickly fading.
At the bottom of the table, clubs like Dinamo-Minsk, Larne, and Petrocub are in serious trouble, still without a win and facing steep deficits. Their tournament journey looks bleak, and they will need a miraculous turnaround to avoid elimination.
As the tournament heads into the next matchdays, each game becomes a critical battle for survival, advancement, or dominance. Every point counts as these clubs fight for their place on the European stage, and the competition promises more drama, surprises, and intense moments in the pursuit of football glory.
