Hibernian FC European Tour 2018

[we are hibs]

Who can we get and when is the draw?

[B.H.F.C]

Draw is 21st of June.

Ties 12th and 19th July.

1st leg away to a team in Northern Ireland would be interesting.

[SChibs]

Would love a Welsh team if possible. Save the cash for an away trip in the next round and get as many hibbys down to Wales as possible

[CB_NO3]

AC Milan in round 2 would be great.

Can we play Hibernians?

That would be an occasion.

[TAHibby]

That would be cracking. The boys of the Leith San Siro heading to the er.. San Siro

[SlickShoes]

We better get through this round as I am in South East Asia for both games, always seem to miss Euro games by being on holiday.

[Mr White]

Neil Lennon at Linfield could be fun.

Linfield aren't in it. The 3 NI sides are Coleraine, Glenavon & Cliftonville with Derry City, Dundalk & Shamrock Rovers representing ROI.

[scoopyboy]

How would that come about?

It's to do with coefficient.

There are a list of seeds and a list of non seeds.

However the bottom seven seeds and the top seven non seeds have still to be determined as not all teams have qualified as yet. It will be touch and go I think.

Rangers have a figure of 3.725 and are seeded, I think we should have a similar coefficient.

Thanks. That would be a belter if we managed that.

[HibeeHibernian4]

How would that come about?

We are very likely to be seeded. With a coefficient of 3.725, we are currently 24th= best of the teams in the 1st Qualifying Round. As there are 94 teams involved, I am assuming that as long as we are in the top 47, we will be seeded? I'm not 100% familiar on the rules, but that seems likely to me.

We don’t know the coefficient of the teams who haven’t qualified yet do we?

[burtis97]

I'm sure a few people have said we will be seeded in this draw can anyone confirm? If so does this mean the second leg will be on the 19th at ER? With the away on the 12th?

[PatHead]

When do English teams enter?

[nonshinyfinish]

Does being seeded or not determine the order of the home/away legs? Or can it still be either way around?

[HibeeHibernian4]

We don’t know the coefficient of the teams who haven’t qualified yet do we?

When I have a spare moment, I will check them, they're all online. I knew Hibs' was 3.725 before we were 'confirmed' as having qualified today.

There are also only 25 places left to be confirmed in the first round, so unless all 25 teams (or 23/24 at a push) who qualify have a better coefficient than us, then we will be seeded. Given that some of the places still up for grabs include the Luxembourg Cup winners, the Montenegrin third place team and the third or fourth placed team in Albania, I think we'll be fine.

[guthrie01]

When do English teams enter?

Burnley are in the second round

[Billy Whizz]

Nope, home 1st against Brondby, and away 1st v Malmo, suggest that it’s all in the draw

[cabbageandribs1875]

sevco have asked uefa if they can change their tie on the 12th july as all their fans will be too busy marching, wearing silly aprons and bowler hats, whilst spewing their sectarian filth and drinking out of bottles of buckfast

[davhibby]

We'll be seeded in the first round, but not for the second. Draw takes placs at the same time for both. Some big names in the second round

If we have a coefficient of 3.725 then we will 100% be seeded in the first round draw.

Equally certain if we get through then we will not be seeded in the next round.

This would be amazing. Almost a home game for me.

[Onion]

Would be amazing to get something similar to Copenhagen.
Just great for the club to be back in Europe even if past few times have been bit painful.

[Sir David Gray]

Seeded teams do not necessarily get the second leg at home. It's a random draw.

[Keith_M]

If we do get through to the next round, I'd like us to be drawn against Lask Linz or Admira Wacker please.

I fancy a wee holiday in Austria

I reckon their fans will be glad of the distraction that day as well.

[The_Horde]

Some glory ties there but just gees the easiest route to the group stages as poss please.

[McrHibee]

I'm going for Connah's Quay, with away leg to be played at Wrexham's Racecourse ground... purely for the fact I used to cover them for the local paper many years ago, though Cliftonville or any of the Irish clubs would be good uns and easy enough to get to.

[Onceinawhile]

Welsh team would be great. I'm in Wales on the 19th 😂

[Eaststandee]

I'll take the easiest teams possible, participating in two qualifying stages is around 500k of prize money.

Want a lithuanian team as I will be there in July anyway.

[hibby6270]

Think they needed Motherwell to win today to qualify

[B.H.F.C]

Really hope we have done enough business to give us a chance of fielding a strong enough team to actually compete and try to do something in the competition.

Remember going to Malmo and Rowan Vine being up front on his own with Danny Handling on the right wing. In saying that, things never got much better that season.

Does anybody have a list of our possible known opponents up to this point?

On the presumption that we are a long shot to make the group stages, a nice wee away trip to somewhere close .. ish that we can get through would be great, followed by being drawn against Burnley ..... an away trip to an EPL club would be a riot, in the nicest possible way of course :greengrin

See separate thread. They didn't qualify!

Have Brondby qualified again?

I’d like another bash at them with a proper keeper in the first leg this time.

[WestStandhibee]

Shamrock rovers in Dublin is the dream draw for me :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Bristolhibby]

Likewise. However I’m at the Royal Intertional Air Tattoo with the kids over the weekend of the 14th so away second leg would yo-yo me fine.

Unless it was away against an English or Welsh team, I could make that first leg away.

[HibeeHibernian4]

Does anybody have a list of our possible known opponents up to this point?

According to an Aberdeen forum, every (confirmed) team from Cliftonville down on this list will be unseeded:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018%E2%80%9319_UEFA_Europa_League#First_qualifyin g_round

Then there will be the 7 winners of the Preliminary Round, all of whom will be unseeded too.

Out of the 21 Europa League places that are still up for grabs, it's hard to know exactly who's going to be seeded and who won't be, a general rule of thumb is that the teams further down that list are less likely to be, but we'll know better once the list if finalised in the next week or so.

yep, they enter at 3rd qualifying round

[LustForLeith]

Hoping we get a Luxembourg team as one of my mates lives there. He’s actually part of a team who are playing in their first ever cup final. Can imagine asking if he he can put up about 50 Hibs fans in his house!

[hibsbollah]

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 :greengrin. Nice would be a dream trip.

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

[HibeeHibernian4]

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

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

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.

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.
