i believe there will be some 6-2 teams in the next round like last year, even when i try to avoid it especially because i miss those high wins in my schedule. mumbai my last away game should be the easiest i got, but away is never really easy and i believe that counts also for many other teams who are still in the mix and could loose a game like that.

Maybe their schedules are better than Your. But schedule isn't so important in B3. You have big advantage in comparition to all polish teams, because You joined to BB in season 2 (Poland joined to BB in season 3), and because You played almost from beginning in first league. It's the most important factor in B3 - how quickly You can promote to the highest division in Your country. In fact to play in B3 You had to beat only 15 opponents (bacause You were in top-16 in Your country in season 3). It's even easier than for example in Iran ;-) Meanwhile polish teams had to beat at least 300 opponents - in this way it's harder to develop team.

but i played in the most expensiv league for many years in my career, with powerhorses who claim the top spot who give you a big economical boost ;)

I am quite sure, that your teams had time to catch up enough, and i had hard fight also against more then 15 teams8didn't had poland also teams who started in first division?) ;) But you are right, i don't think they are stronger then me at this point.

2) One tough match left (tough match is defined as away match vs. a team with no more than 2 losses atm)

That gives us 4 certain losses and 5 likely ones. Most of the other teams have an away game against weak opposition.

but they are also taff matches with team who lost 3 games, at least i would count my opponent today as one of the better teams:

also my last two opponent i had at home would be challenging away, even when the y had three lost games KK Bobo(97937) and Black Label Society (38624) - and i think they are plenty team like that. Maybe they are mostly favorites, but even an 80% favorite will loose some games.

didn't had poland also teams who started in first division?

Yes, we have (or had) ;-)
And it's hard to fight against these teams. Because even weak manager in higher division still can develop team faster than good manager in lower division. But please compare these two situations. You were in top-16 in Your country in season 3 (in fact even in top-12, because You were never relegated). And finally in season season 16 (13 seasons later) You finished in top-1. So it means You needed over than one season to overtake one opponent who was over You. (Opponents under You aren't so dangerous becasue they have less incomes, so it isn't very hard to beat them and to keep advantage, maybe 4 of them are dangerous, because only 4 teams are promoted to 1st league in season). And compare to other B3 member from Poland, who started in season 4. He needed to beat many opponents and to make 3 promotions to finally to be in 1st league in season 11. And after hard job from this moment he had... still 15 opponents to overtake to play in B3 ;-)

In previous season there was big debate about comparison between big and small countries in B3. But it isn't so important. The most important thing is how many dangerous opponents You need to beat to be in 1st league, and after that how many dangerous opponents You need to beat to win trophy in Your country.

I don't want to start new debate. But I only want to say, that schedule has very small importance in comparision to other factors.
