    Europa League

    6 August at 13.30CET, Nyon
    For the play-offs the 35 third qualifying round winners join the 15 losing sides from the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round and a further 24 teams who begin their European campaigns here.
    The 74 clubs are divided into seven groups for the draw – five of ten teams and two of 12. Within the seven groups an equal number of sides will be seeded and unseeded in accordance with the club rankings established at the beginning of the season. Teams from the same association cannot be drawn against each other.
    For each group, balls containing the seeded sides will be placed in one bowl and balls containing unseeded teams in another. A ball will be taken from each bowl and placed in a large empty bowl in the middle, where they will be shuffled. The first club drawn will play its first match at home against the second side drawn.

    and from the sun

    They will be seeded but could face the likes of Trabzonspor, Utrecht, Montpellier or old foes Rapid Vienna.

    We should get through this and into the Europa League but how far do you think we can go?

    TBH mate, Europe is NOT my main concern this year, even before the Braga games. It is absolutely imperative that we win the league this year. However, if we do manage a wee run in the Europa league then good trips lie ahead:50:(hopefully one in Dublin).

    I also can see us doing well this year, if we get Bellamy we could even reach the quater finals and maybe even beyond. Bellamy would be one of the best signings in the past 4 seasons imo

    Agreed, exiting before the group stage is on the cards.

    Glad we're in the Europa. I think we can qualify for this because the players have got more time to gel together, even if they don't qualify who cares. We can all see Lennon is building a strong team that in time will be solid at the back. Shame he can't see Loovens for what he is.

    19th August is the 1st leg for whoever we get, We should get through definitely as were seeded and can get sibir and karpaty who i would expect us to beat. We will most likely be second seed in the group stages aswell so we have a good chance i think of doing well in this, we need to get mcgeady out asap and use the money to sign keeper, left back, centre back, Winger

    I think it will be a tough one to make the groups, pretty much whoever we get.

    But by the time the first leg comes round, we will have had a few competitive matches under our belts with the two Braga legs plus the first league game of the new season. And fingers crossed we net a Bellamy or player of near that level in terms of quality.

    We have a good chance of progressing, with the right draw. I don't like looking beyond what we haven't already got yet (ie. we're not in the groups yet!!) but I would hope we can progress beyond the groups this season if we make it. For now, the Europa League is our level and we could do well in this competition!

    I expect us to get into the group stages, get a few games and MAYBE qualify. Its not my main concern this season though. The title is the only thing i'm caring about.

    The team is not complete yet. It will grow and get stronger.
