I think Uefa should consider growing up the prize differences for reaching Europa League Grup stage.
For some teams, specially the "small ones" it will be better from most of the factors to be in Conference than in Europa League.
there in Conference you can make strong coeficient, getting more points from wins etc.
We can have situations in Europa League playoffs where teams want to... lose.

You just don't want to get Besiktas, and then Trabzon/Rapid as seeded.

I would add Rijeka/Elfsborg, but yes: Crazy difference in the level of the unseeded sides for this draw

For the Greek teams, we want Rijeka. We don't lose to Croatians, ever

Good draws for both Greek teams here, and APOEL.

[Firnen]

Plzen had an easy draw? Can't believe it

[Juliusz]

If Jagiellonia want something more than Conference League, they have to eliminate Bodø/Glimt. This draw was really harsh.

This would be an interesting job for Gareth Southgate.

[Gorandinho]

Anderlecht with the luckiest draw ever. Or unlucky because Anderlecht is Conference league quality

[rpo.castro]

Not a good draw for Braga/Servette. Trabzonspor for the winner (there were way easier teams) Chelsea for the loser.

A question, both Braga (EL) and Guimarães (CoL) are set to play play off round 1st leg home. Since both cities are very close, what happens in this case? The lowest ranked team with switch the order (1st away then home) or will have to play on Tuesday os Wednesday? I believe its the second but I wanted to confirm.

Normally they first switch the order for the lower ranked team. Tuesday or Wednesday would be next step if necessary.

That's the theory, but of course it's not certain before the official confirmation.

I think people will be surprised by hearts this year, they have built a decent squad and look strong. I think if they keep Shankland they could make the KO round of the Conference league. However I think they have a chance of making the Europa league which ironically would be detrimental to them making any European impact
