Entering QR1 will be
Seeded
Ukraine - Shakhtar Donetsk
Poland - Legia Warsaw
Serbia - Partizan
Moldova - Sheriff Tiraspol
Romania - CFR Cluj
Israel - Hapoel Be'er Sheva
Slovenia - Celje
Slovakia - Spartak Trnava
Unseeded
Cyprus - AEK Larnaca
Sweden - Häcken
Hungary - Paks
Bulgaria - Levski Sofia
Azerbaijan - Sabah
Finland - Ilves
Kazakhstan - Aktobe
Kosovo - Prishtina
Eight of these teams will be joining us in QR2, Four of which will be seeded. The only thing I don’t understand is why FC Paksi, with the lowest coefficient score of the whole lot (even lower than us) could end up seeded. Drawing them is the dream.
I guess the best thing that could happen in the short term is as many as possible from Shakhtar Donetsk, Legia Warsaw and Partizan Belgrade loosing in QR1.
