Regarding stadiums, last time they specifically told us 115 stadiums. This time 120+ stadiums, so there may be up to 129 presumably which would be 13 more than in 24. The fact they are being coy with the number does hint there may be a surprise or two (praying for ligue 1 or serie A)
We currently have 116 after Luton was added mid season. It is generally agreed that San Siro is gone after AC Milan and Inter have gone to Konami.
I think guaranteed are:
- Darmstadt
- Heidenheim
- Ipswich Town (probably later in the autumn)
- Sporting Lisbon
- River Plate
- Deportivo La Coruna
- Malaga
The likely include
- AS Roma (not sure exactly how that will work with Lazio who are still with Konami)
- Bologna
- AS Monaco
- Fenerbahce
- Galatasaray
Other outside bets:
- Besiktas
- Red Bull Salzburg
- Feyenoord
- Fiorentina
- Napoli
- Rennes
- Lens
- Nice
- the rest of Ligue 1
- the rest of non-Konami Serie A
