Most likely we’ll play CS Fola Esch, although nothing is guaranteed.
If it is, they play today against German 3rd División side SV Waldhof, before their European games against Chikhura.

Interestingly, their second leg is on the Wednesday, meaning their opening league game against FC 08 Homburg (who beat them in February) is on the Saturday, giving them an extra day to prepare before they meet us.

I would concur with your conclusion. Do you think a good squad of 'boys' would be likely to travel of it's Luxembourg given that we've already been there not long ago?

When I was informed of the draw my first instinct was to fear the Georgians most but some basic research revealed they don't have a money bags oligarch backing them and their league form is a bit ropey. I can see us making it to the 3rd without too much cause for concern. That's where the guns will really start firing.

Here’s our grouping for Monday’s draw

Group 4

Seeded
1 PSV Eindhoven (NED) / FC Basel 1893 (SUI)
2 Connah's Quay Nomads FC (WAL) / FK Partizan (SRB )
3 FC Flora Tallinn (EST) / Eintracht Frankfurt (GER)
4 HNK Rijeka (CRO)
5 AS Jeunesse Esch (LUX) / Vitória SC (POR)

Unseeded
6 Fehérvár FC (HUN) / FC Vaduz (LIE)
7 FK Haugesund (NOR) / SK Sturm Graz (AUT)
8 Malatyaspor (TUR) / NK Olimpija Ljubljana (SVN)
9 FC Chikhura Sachkhere (GEO) / Aberdeen FC (SCO)
10 FK Ventspils (LVA) / Gzira United FC (MLT)

If we draw 1,2 or 3, they’re high enough seeded to take their seeding place in QR4.
Personally, the Carlsberg draw would be 5 AS Jeunesse Esch (LUX) / Vitória SC (POR)

[Devanha Red]

I'd give us a fair to middling chance of beating Rijeka, Guimares (heaven must be missing an angel) and an outside chance of doing Partizan. Other three possibles would be our undoing.

Here’s who SevCo can get

Seeded
1 Wolverhampton Wanderers FC (ENG) / Crusaders FC (NIR)
2 Legia Warszawa (POL) / KuPS Kuopio (FIN)
3 KAA Gent (BEL) / FC Viitorul (ROU)
4 FC Midtjylland (DEN)
5 AZ Alkmaar (NED) / BK Häcken (SWE)

Unseeded
6 AEK Larnaca FC (CYP) / PFC Levski Sofia (BUL)

8 FC DAC 1904 Dunajská Streda (SVK) / Atromitos FC (GRE)

They'll have a good chance of going through against any of those other than Wolves. Tarry as f@ck draw.

[GASC1980]

Some tasty opposition there for us if we can get through against the Georgians. Would love a wee trip to the north of Portugal if we do.

Wolves have a tasty crew, which included the blessed Kevin Rowland in the 70s (referenced in Kevin Rowland’s 13th Crime, and My Life In England Pt 1).

A bonus, therefore, is that the ‘conians might fall foul of ‘street justice’. Starve the tarryhat dogs in preparation.
