Heartsmad1874 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Details on the Third Round of Europa League draw copied from UEFA's website Which teams are involved in the draw? Champions path The ten teams eliminated from the Champions League Champions path second qualifying round will contest the Europa League Champions path third qualifying round. Match 1: Ferencváros (HUN) / Slovan Bratislava (SVK) Match 2: Dinamo Zagreb (CRO) / Shkupi (MKD) Match 3: Qarabağ (AZE) / Zürich (SUI) Match 4: HJK Helsinki (FIN) / Viktoria Plzeň (CZE) Match 5: Linfield (NIR) / Bodø/Glimt (NOR) Match 6: Žalgiris (LTU) / Malmö FF (SWE) Match 7: Ludogorets (BUL) / Shamrock Rovers (IRL) Match 8: Maribor (SVN) / Sheriff (MDA) Match 9: Maccabi Haifa (ISR) / Olympiacos (GRE) Match 10: Pyunik (ARM) / Diddeleng (LUX) Main path The two sides eliminated from the Champions League second qualifying round (League path) will join two teams entering in the Europa League third qualifying round (Main path). Seeded Partizan (SRB) Slovácko (CZE) Unseeded Match 1: Midtjylland (DEN) / AEK Larnaca (CYP) Match 2: Dynamo Kyiv (UKR) / Fenerbahçe (TUR) How the draw works • No teams are seeded for the third qualifying round of the Champions path. An open draw is held to determine pairings, with the first team drawn playing the first leg at home. • The clubs that qualify directly for the third qualifying round of the Main path are seeded above the clubs eliminated from the second qualifying round of the Champions League (League path). • For the Main path draw, the balls containing the names of the seeded teams will be placed in one bowl and the balls containing the unseeded sides put into another bowl. One ball will be taken from each bowl and placed in a large empty bowl in the middle, where they will be shuffled. The first team drawn will play the first leg at home. • Clubs from the same association cannot be drawn against each other. Teams from Armenia and Azerbaijan are also being kept apart: if Pyunik (ARM) and Qarabağ FK (AZE) are drawn against each other, the ball drawn second will be put to one side. Further restrictions will be announced before the draw. What happens next? Winners Progress to the UEFA Europa League play-off round. Beaten sides Transfer to the appropriate path of the UEFA Europa Conference League play-off round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that were to happen they'd drop into Qualifying Round Three, one round away from potentially facing us. It would be a disaster of a trip though so its a no from me🤣 Nice place. 12 quid pints though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmfc_liam06 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) Looked at rough costs of flights to all potential opponents, some are a genuine write off for me. Zurich also surprisingly expensive to get to, as are all surrounding airports. Bodo wasn’t that bad. Flight to Kaunas looked cheapest so hoping for Zalgiris.

Ideally i'd like to see pairings like Dinamo Zagreb/Shkupi v Zalgiris/Malmo as you'd expect Shkupi and Zalgiris to lose in the UCL meaning they'd face each other and one would progress.

Good stat Largo. What about TV money? How should that be divided up? Fairly across all clubs or slanted to the Uglies? A fair chunk of that is going nowhere near clubs out with the OF. It would help to get a bit more of that, add in a couple of decent transfers out and clubs may get closer to the OF.
