Inter-Ludogorets to be behind closed doors

It is now all but certain that the Europa League game between Inter and Ludogorets will be played behind closed doors on Thursday due to the Coronavirus scare.

The highly-contagious illness is spreading rapidly throughout northern Italy, with three deaths reported and over 200 cases diagnosed.

Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte confirmed he could shut down all this weekend’s Serie A games – a decision is set to be made today – and several regions including Lombardy, Piedmont, Veneto, Liguria, Friuli and Emilia-Romagna ordered suspension of all large public events including sports until midnight on March 1.

While there are discussions over the potential rescheduling of some fixtures, that is simply not possible with the Europa League, as there is no time to rearrange.

The only realistic option is to play behind closed doors at San Siro on Thursday evening and that is what the Mayor of Milan is expected to announce later today.

Ludogorets released a statement demanding clarification on the situation, particularly for the 600 fans who had already purchased tickets and arranged travel.

Inter won the first leg of this Round of 32 tie, 2-0 in Bulgaria.

Shame about this. Guessing Inter will play a weaker squad anyway with a huge game on Sunday.

Impressive win that. Interestingly Scotland could get back 2 CL play-off places now.

As it stands, from 2021-22, Scotland will have two teams enter the Champions League qualifying rounds.

But it's a double edged sword, as it'll mean less qualifying rounds played (and the loss of points from them) and an additional team in Europe overall (adding another will almost certainly bring down the nation's average coefficient).

There are many interesting Europa League fixtures to look forward to today. I think that the Europa League has been as exciting as ever this season. There are plenty of quality and exciting sides left in the competition.

I think the Benfica and Porto games could be decent. Both playing sides with slender leads from their home legs and definitely with capability to turn things around. 

Maybe even Gent vs Roma too. I expect Celtic, Sevilla and Man Utd to get through after getting away goals and draw in first legs. 

Ajax you'd think need an early goal to get back in to the tie against Getafe.
