Europa Conference Draw - last 16

[Crystal_Clear]

Any preferences to our potential next opponents ?

Strasbourg (FRA)
Raków (POL)
AEK Athens (GRE)
Sparta Praha (CZE)
Rayo Vallecano (ESP)
Shakhtar Donetsk (UKR)
Mainz (GER)
AEK Larnaca (CYP)

AEK maybe, with a trip to Athens. Been a couple of times
Though, we do owe Larnaca after they beat us the qualifying.

I was hoping for Fiorentina, but we can't play them as we're in the playoffs as well.

I think we can only draw larnaca or mainz?

Mainz I think have a 33k seater stadium and flights to frankfurt are handy.

Will be either Larnaca or Mainz. None of the other possible.

Larnaca…. 🫣

 

[Eagleman13]

Larnaca…. 🫣

If we beat them & go thru, looks like it will be Fiorentina in the Qtr's & at a stab, AZ in the semi's.

 

[samprior]

Damn, wanted Mainz. Would have been a bigger ticket allocation and easier for me to get to 😉 Oh well we'll just have to beat them in the final.

I think playing these stodgy teams over 2 legs actually suits us better. Sitting so deep, constant time wasting and cynical fouls can work on a one off game but is less likely to be successful over 180 minutes... Unless we play rubbish! Lol

Happy with the draw, we should beat them pretty comfortably, expecting a similar 2 games to the previous round. I know we lost in the league but we were in complete control apart from the mistake by Canvot.

 

[ASCPFC]

Who the f*** are Larnaca anyway? That'll be the world's easiest win for us.

 

[Eagle One]

All due respect to Larnaca as they beat us at Selhurst but it's a decent draw and if we can find some form we should beat them over two legs.

And not getting ahead of ourselves but Fiorentina potentially lying in wait is a huge incentive.

Absolutely. Finally a team I’ve heard of!

 

[eaglesdare]

I guess it's going to be Palace / Fiorintina vs Strasbourg in the final.

 

[JHB]

A mate’s, friend’s, uncle reckons we will batter them at home on balance of play but miss a hatful of chances and concede a daft goal from a misplaced pass in defence. Honestly some people know nothing about football …

 

[Spindle]

We aren't going to lose to them again. It was a fluke result, a 1 in 20

My thoughts exactly, even though we’re not on great form, we’ll do them over two legs I feel even if they do ride their luck again

 

[Paulmeissner]

I’m guessing the Leeds match will move to the Sunday?

Isn't it two legs too?

Can't see them getting an aggregate win over us in three ties.

I say that as a die-hard pessimist and critic.
