    Not really any easy games as we know.

    Do we have another window after this to add players if we go through ?

    APOEL 35.935

    BATE Borisov 34.000

    Ludogorets 25.625
    Copenhagen 24.720
    Qarabağ 13.475
    Rosenborg 12.850
    Astra Giurgiu 11.076
    Red Star 7.175
    Dinamo Tbilisi 5.875
    Trenčín 5.400
    Hapoel Be'er Sheva 4.725
    Dundalk 2.590
    Partizani Tirana 1.575

    Astana 12.575 (but obviously we can't play them next round)

    As I mentioned in today's match thread, the PO draw is not until after 3Q results are known, so the 5 clubs with the highest club coefficients will be seeded. (Contrast to 2Q/3Q draw, which is done before prior round is finished - so while the draw is still seeded, the draw is conducted assuming the higher-seeded team always wins.)

    So, while we currently know we will not be drawn against Olympiacos, Viktoria Plzeň, Red Bull Salzburg, or APOEL, for every one of them that does not qualify for the next round, another team will also become 'un-draw-able', starting with BATE. This also means that all the clubs starting at Copenhagen and all the way down the list, are guaranteed to be possible PO opponents so long as they qualify.

    All this said, I still think we have a tough home game against Astana.

    ...and from the first legs I predict the teams in bold to go through leaving the seedings as...

    Seeded
    Olympiacos
    Red Bull Salzburg
    Celtic
    BATE Borisov
    Legia Warsaw

    Unseeded
    Dinamo Zagreb
    Copenhagen
    Qarabağ
    Rosenborg
    Red Star

    None of these unseeded teams will be easy! Don't fancy Qarabag because the travelling. Prefer to avoid Red Star and Dinamo Zagreb also. So either of the Scandinavians for me. If Roseborg fail to make it, then I guess I would still fancy Legia over Red Star and Dinamo.

    I'd take Qarabag again tbh.

    Very similar to Astana in that I don't think they are that special but rely on their location and defensive style. If we could negotiate them under Ronny we could do the same this year.

    Qarabag would be a great draw for us if we go through. * all of an attacking threat and they seem to have regressed a bit since we played them last.

    * going back to the outer reaches of the Continent.

    We want a decent draw close to home. Dundalk would be sufficient :50:

    Celtic are seeded and can only play non seeded teams, the five likely opponents are;

    Crvena Zvevda
    BATE Borisov
    Legia Warsaw
    FC Copenhagen
    Dinamo Zagreb

    Olimpiakos drew 0-0 at home to Apoel Beer Sheva and Apoel Nicosia lost 2-1 away to Rosenberg. If either Olimpiakos or Apoel go out then their victor takes BATE's place as an unseeded team and BATE become seeded. If both Olimpiakos and Apoel are knocked out then Legia Warsaw also become seeded and both Beer Sheva and Rosenberg become potential opponents.

    I'd love Legia for the fact we owe them one.

    I'd hate Legia for the fact our fans would be in danger over there.

    Legia would give me the fear. I'd take BATE

    Don't want Legia.

    Just too much unnecessary * surrounding that tie for my liking. Hopefully they become seeded but I can't see Olympiacos AND APOEL going out.

    Genuinely fear someone could be killed if we draw Legia.

    BATE (ideally Dundalk if they pull it off) or Zagreb I'd fancy, Red Star would be a * on earth atomosphere, avoid them.
