...So here’s the question, do you believe the league itself could be the mastermind, doing this to beat the betting public?
I think that such match-fixing takes place not at the level of the football federation, but at the level of clubs. There are cases when, for example, a draw suits both teams, which allows both of them, for example, to qualify for the Europa League, and in such cases, the management of the teams resorts to agreements.
