1st Round
------------
Hibs v NSI Runavik (FAR)
Zombies v Shkupi (MAC)


2nd Round (Assuming 1st round win)
------------
Aberdeen v Burnley (ENG)
Hibs v Asteras Tripolis (GRE)
Zombies v Petrocub (MOL) or Osijek (CRO)


I'd be surprised in either Hibs or Aberdeen go further than Round 2. Difficult to say what the zombies will face in either game. Osijek had some great results last season, but these teams can come and go.

If Aberdeen beat Burnley they would be seeded in R3, increasing their chances of making the playoff.

Burnley will smash aberdeen to bits.

Hibs and sevco both have a decent chance to make the third round.

Hibs got the lowest ranked team in the competition in the first round, so assuming they come through that one... (I know, I know)

I don't think Asteras are that strong. Scraped in ahead of Xanthi nine points behind fourth place. Hibs could have done with the second leg at home of course. But the hope might be that they catch them cold given its their first game while Hibs would have had a couple of games.

The Hun draws are actually fairly decent compared to what they could have had.

Nightmare for the Sheep, but I expect it'll still only be a tight aggregate loss because Burnley really don't win any other way.

The sheep one is an interesting tie. On paper Burnley will walk it but i wouldn't be surprised if its close. English teams are overhyped and their style might just give the sheep an outside chance. Probably not though :)

Both Hibs and (unfortunately) huns should get through their 1st round ties no bother.

On a good day Hibs ought to be able to get a result against the Greeks in the 2nd round. The thought of Lenny in Greece in the middle of summer though :lol good job he's managing rather than playing these days.

The huns could maybe beat the Croats, but with them having so many new players and a manager who's never managed before it's a hard one to call.

The sheep will be well and truly effed. Aberdeen FC will probably get beaten by Burnley as well.

I don't think Aberdeen will progress but I hope they give a good account of themselves, the other two have a good chance of progressing further as long as neither of them Hibs it

English teams usually start their preseason a bit later than we do and they will probably assume they're going to coast it.

No. It's based on the performance of the clubs. If the clubs got further in Europe we'd go up the ranking and potentially cut the number of qualifiers. It's a long way off though.

Burnley aren't the problem - McInnes being a shampooebag and most of his players being pish is the problem.

I wonder how the other Scottish teams will embarrass themselves this year?

I'll go for Hibs falling at the first hurdle, Aberdeen getting skelped off Burnley and the Huns getting skelped out at the stage before the group stage.

4 rounds for the huns to make the GS

I reckon the Croatian mob will sink them

Not a team managed by Dyche. If nothing else, they'll bore Aberdeen into a defeat.

Knowing what we know about Aberdeen's own "style", I expect two of the worst games of football ever played.

Aberdeen Vs Burnley is the tie of the draw (for the Scottish clubs).

If Aberdeen manage to get through this they must fancy themselves to go a little further, here's hoping they do.

Burnley will expect to beat Aberdeen just by turning up.
Hopefully that will go against them,that and the sheep being that little bit fitter at that stage of the season.
Won't be a match i'd be bothered about missing.
Hope the sheep beat them though.
