Champions League Qualifying

[wadewill]

I know there are quite a few threads on this already but since the draw has been made for the 3rd Qualifying round then I thought I would start a new one.

Thanks to Wikipedia I think I have figured out where we stand, can anyone please correct me if im wrong?

Ajax http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlandshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GreecePAOKDynamo Kyiv http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BelgiumGentYoung Boys http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switzerlandhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TurkeyFenerbahçeBraga http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portugalhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ScotlandCelticUnirea Urziceni http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romaniahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RussiaZenit St. Petersburg

They are the games in the 3rd Qualifying round, so coupled with Sevilla, Sampdoria, Werder Bremen and Auxerre are the teams that we could face.

Am I right in thinking its an open draw?

You would expect Ajax, Kiev, Fenerbache, Zenit all to go through and then the Celtic game could be either.

Ive got to be honest, seeing these teams has brought me back down to earth a little....There isnt one game there that I would strongly fancy us in especially going to Russia or Ukraine.

It's not an open draw, it's all explained in detail in here, really no need for another thread mate.

There is already a thread following this draw over in the General Football section. (perhaps they should be merged).

Anyway, it would appear that because of the way the whole seeding system works our opponents will be from:
Auxerre
Braga
Fenerbahce
Kyiv
Sampdoria

1. Celtic OR Braga

General Football...Thats why I couldnt find it. Sorry.

That makes me feel a bit better, as long as we can avoid Auxerre or Sampdoria we should be looking good-ish.

Well there's also the one on the front page of this section that I linked to above

to me auxerre is the team i want

 

[Locotoro]

Actually, along with Celtic, i've heard a lot of teams are out to avoid us from that group. My PAOK and Fenerbahce supporting friends say they want to avoid us and Celtic because our seasons start a lot earlier than everyone else's so gives us a fitness advantage

BTW, when is the draw date for playoff?

 

[michaelden]

DO we play the second qualifying leg at home because we are seeded?
