At the main part Group 2 is really a joke compare with group 1.

Why for 7 pairings it needs two groups? Is it a joke from the UEFA?
Why those 7 pairings can not be drawn by one spot?

For instance, to eliminate the possibility of Israeli team having to go to Turkey, which is pretty bad idea nowadays.

I guess to avoid teams from the same association, or teams from associations with political conflicts to draw each other. For this year, only one restricted tie is possible, between the two teams from Ukraine, FC Dynamo Kyiv and FC Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih.

Group 2 is super easy...sadly Panathinaikos cant play Plzen or Sheriff/Elfsborg now.

The prefered opponent would be Rapid Vienna, and the one to avoid is obviously Ajax.

Is there a reason to make sub-groups with only 12 pairs? If yes, i don't see it.
No Lincoln - UE Santa Coloma draw.

RFS vs UE Santa Coloma means either Latvia or Andorra will have a team in Groups.

Sadly with the way UEFA split the teams, we could not have Lincoln or New Saints vs UE Santa Coloma...

Klaksvik will get Borac, decent chance for Groups!

New Saints with Petrocub, not without a chance, and the duel between Lincoln and Dinamo Minsk might determine whether Gibraltar or Belarus will overtake North Macedonia.

Malmö/KÍ - PAOK/Borac Banja Luka in CL and EL and in the same home and away order for leg 1 and 2
PAOK is not a club. PAOK is a cultural phenomenon.

Worst possible draw for Panathinaikos: Ajax.

Another incentive for Jagiellonia to go through in CL... Wisła not really rewarded if they pull a shock vs Rapid and become a seeded side.

Plzen are consistently the luckiest team in qualifying draws :D . Again its a cakewalk, Kryvbass, by far the weakest team out of all Europa teams. Unfortunately all Ukrainian teams except Shakhtar and Dynamo Kyiv are now very poor.

Loser of FC Dynamo Kyiv (UKR) or FK Partizan (SRB) vs Loser of FC Lugano (SUI) or Fenerbahçe SK (TUR)

The loser of this tie will be the ultimate loser of CL Q2 League Path, and will have to win a tie in Conference League PO to reach the league stage, likely as an unseeded team assuming Lugano lose in CL Q2.
