I’m on holiday in Albuferia for the first leg so I’ve just googled Arouca. It’s like being on holiday in Cornwall and playing Newcastle.

That depends if get drawn home or away first.

I used to own a house that previous owners had named Lucerne, so we'll get them.

A good omen though, or a foul portent?

There is also the potential for matches to be moved to Tuesday or Wednesday and for order of legs to be reversed. This should all be confirmed by 5pm tomorrow.

I do think Hibs would be fantastic. It saves a glitzy continental tie until the competition proper, is doable by car and coach for the fans, and I think they give an away allocation up to about 3.5k for some matches, so a good number will be able to go.

Plus, I've been re-watching Rab C. Nesbitt on Britbox, so I'm pretty sure I can communicate with the locals and successfully order a swally.

Luzern would be a lovely place to go on an away trip this time of year.

Lech Poznan looks like the one to avoid there.

I have plotted and forecast its Poland, Croatia, Romanian , or outside chance for Cyprus.
If it's not there I understand its a tie v Scotland, Norway, Vienna or Turkey,  Holland or Spain.
That's on percentage calls.

I also think it will be against a team from a European country.
Think my old geography teacher would disagree about Israel or Kazakhstan being in Europe...

I would love us to draw Hibs.

Hibs would be ideal, and the winner of tie 7 probably best avoided.
