Europa League 20/21

I thought I saw that the PO draw was to happen before the QR3 is played.
We'd therefore be paired up with a non seeded side would we not?

Indeed, just checked: -
18/09/2020: Play-off draw
24/09/2020 Third qualifying round

When the PO draw is made, I'd resume that we'd be paired up with the team we will draw today and take the seeded sides place.
Remember though, that the unseeded sides are all teams that have progressed better in Europe than us in recent years so it would still be a tough expectation to get through both rounds

Honved v Malmo QR2 is on 17/09/2020 so if QR3 was Aberdeen v Honved we'd both be unseeded for the PO round draw the following day.

But it Malmo win or we draw PSV or Sporting then we would be seeded in the PO draw.

There seems to be a general assumption we’ll beat Viking Stavanger away from home.
That’s not an easy game at all.

Just to highlight how messed up the European competitions are, it seems there is a chance that Celtic could be drawn against Ferencvaros again in the PO round. Total madness but would be funny asf if they get knocked out by them twice.

I don't think it's unreasonable for the supporters to assume that we'll take care of a team lying 10th in the Norwegian League. I'm certainly no optimist or happy clapper but I expect us to progress to the next round.

However, it shouldn't be forgetten that things can go wrong during the match. For instance, an early sending off then my expectations will diminish rapidly.

I'm reading all the posts about seeds and who we might and might not get.

It would be as well as being in Norse Code.

were they not knocked out by a Polish side twice a couple of years ago.

They also played Cluj in the two different competitions as well
