However, as always fingers crossed that the draw is kind and we take our chance if there is one to reach the group stages.

Not being seeded in Q3 could play into our favour here.

Assuming the play off is drawn before Q3 is finished then we'd have the higher coefficient of our opponents in Q3 in the draw for the play-off which would increase the likelihood of being seeded.

Would still require an upset in the form of us beating a seeded team in Q3, but it would not be impossible - there are some big upsets every year in the qualifying rounds.

below are the teams we could play in Q3 - to be seeded in the play-off we would likely need to draw one of the teams with a coefficient of 17 or higher.

If we get drawn against Molde again, at least they won’t have Erling Haaland this time.

As more clubs qualify for the Conference League it is confirmed that Hibs are now seeded for the second round qualifying draw along with Aberdeen.

But they will be a team in mid season

They’re still a team I’d rather avoid, I just remember Haaland being superb when we played them.

Always try to get my head round how it can be x/y/z teams, can you explain a bit St Pauli? Also, are you organising buses? 😂

There’s a couple of very winnable games in the teams higher up that list. It looks to me as if the playoff round will be at a similar level to the 3rd round of the Europa League in the old set up where we played Molde last time around.

With some decent luck in the draws there’s no reason we can’t be looking to make the group stage

Don’t worry, it’ll be against similar levels of ***** to ourselves.

I'd be impressed if you managed to find cheap beer in Norway.

We have a decent chance at making the play-off round, at which point we'll most likely get ****ed.

Doing some research about driving as bored at work:

Dynamo Brest (Belarus) 1562 miles, dodgy politically and I am sure you'd need a visa and all that to go in any case.
Dunajska Streda (Slovakia) 1418 miles
FC Ashdod (Israel) Too far
Valerenga (Norway) 1390 miles
BK Hacken (Sweden) 1278 miles
IF Elfsborg (Sweden) 1286 miles
Lokomotiv Plovdiv (Bulgaria) 2055 miles
Sumgayit (Azerbaijan) Too far
Tobol (Kazakhstan) Too far
Shakhter Karagandy (Kazakhstan) Too far
Torpedo Zhodino (Belarus See Brest
Rakow Czestochowa (Poland) 1415 miles
Pogon Szczecin (Poland) 1194 miles

I am off work for 7 weeks over the summer, really fancying a road trip, I think Slovakia, Norway, Sweden and Poland are all doable.

Are we in a position in terms of quality where we can enact revenge on Elfsborg?

Copenhagen for the Brondby match was the same. Spent more there in a day and a bit that I did in Benidorm in 3 days a week later ��

Just jump on any Ryanair flight and you have a chance of landing in Belarus.
