This is the website to keep an eye on, very thorough details about the qualification system.

Good find

I can see what's going on now

Still holding out hope for draw v LA Galaxy or LAFC, but would accept Real Salt Lake, San Jose, or Colorado. 😁

Colorado works for me

[H18 SFR]

If we get a team in Belfast on the 12th will there be a march before the game?

High quality game in ligue1 tonight, Lyon 0 Nice 1. If it stays the same Nice finish 6th and enter at 2nd round, Lyon will drop to 4th and we'd just have to pump them in the group stage . Nice would be a dream trip.

Marseille and Monaco straight into the Chumpions League group stages as it stands.

Aye, that would be Nice.

[GoalsMcGinley]

Wouldn’t mind Linfield away

We've played in South Morroco and we've played across the USA.

I see it’s the Welsh league Europa League play off final today to determine the last Welsh league reprentative.
Cefn Druids v Cardiff Met?? The winner will be unseeded and another possible tie for the Hibees

[IanM]

Hope we get Linfield
They haven’t qualified

And repeat

Cardiff with Hibs would be magnificent.

Massive turnaround, Memphis Depay second half hattrick! So it's Bordeaux as a potential qualifying round destination for us, and Marseille drop into 4th and the Europa League group stages.

I went to Bordeaux for the world cup in 98. Would love to go back!

Somewhere near, somewhere cheap to drink and get to, and somewhere different from where we've been recently please.

Cliftonville with the away leg on the 19th please. Give not just ourselves but them a well needed break from the local festival on the 12th

[Keith_M]

Please, please, please merge these two threads.

Pretty please?

Just having a look at the past two Europa League qualifying systems, it does seem like there is a degree of (unwritten) regionalising in the draw of the First Qualifying Round. Before the draw is made, they split all the seeded and unseeded teams up into 10 corresponding groups and give each side a number, they then draw the numbers and eg. all the 1's in the seeded groups will play all the 9's in the unseeded groups.

Anyway, looking at the last two years, there is a clear pattern of some form of regionalisation.

In 2016-17's draw, groups 1-4 are clearly for more Northern & Western European sides, including both Scottish representatives.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016%E2%80%9317_UEFA_Europa_League_qualifying_phas e#Seeding

In 2017-18's draw, groups 7-10 are the same, with Rangers' group (6) being a bit of an anomaly, although even then their unseeded opponents (barring the Moldovan team) are quite similar.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017%E2%80%9318_UEFA_Europa_League_qualifying_phas e_and_play-off_round#Seeding

So from this, it's likely that Hibs will play an unseeded side from one of the following countries:
Wales
Ireland
Northern Ireland
Estonia
Latvia
Lithuania
Iceland
Finland
Faroe Islands

[Dashing Bob S]

Gutted to be going to Europe and I will hate Motherwell forever for their tame capitulation at Hampden like a Jambo hates St Mirren.

[Ozyhibby]

Not sure what this fascination with Northern Ireland is all about. It’s about the last place I want to go to except for the fact that there is a fair chance of going through.

Im Calling it:

JK Narva Trans (Est) V Hibs
Partizani Tirana (Alb) V Rankgers

2nd Round
Hibs V RB Leipzig (Ger)
Aberdeen V Legia Warsaw (Pol)

Rankgers will get pumped out in the messiah Gerrards first European tie

It would be quite funny if Gerrard faced his first crisis as Rangers manager waist deep in Albanian shrubbery.

What is Tirana like, and what would it be like for a Hibs trip?

Albania isn't a country I know much about.

Macedonia was probably my favourite trip as a Scotland fan. Skopje was quite a cool city, it was very hot and it wasn't a place I would have normally visited for any reason other than football.

[BILLYHIBS]

Why not restrict the players to two weeks holiday this time in order that we hit the ground running and do not get turned over by some pub team from Estonia. Early recruitment of new recruits to the cause would also be a good idea.

No idea, but would be absolutely roasting in July

Average high in Tirana in July is 31 degrees.
