Presuming St Pat's hold on to their 2-0 lead last I knew the possible draws are narrowed to the following:
CODE
FC Midtylland Denmark
FC Nordsjaelland Denmark
Djugardens IF Sweden
Kalmar FF Sweden
Haka Valkeakoski Finland
Honka Espoo Finland
FH Hafnarfjardar Iceland
Metalurgs Liepaja Latvia
Suduva Marijampole Lithuania
St Patrick's Athletic Ireland
and possibly
Stabaek of Norway in some unlikely circumstances. Also, there's a chance UEFA will move an unseeded side from the Central section into our draw as it has an odd number. If so that could be any one of a number of other sides.
As I understand it those 10 possible opponents will be split into two groups of 5 tomorrow and we'll know before the actual draw that it will be one of five.
Going by seedings and results tonight we definitely don't want Kalmar (Swedish league leaders) or either of the Danish sides. I don't personally want to go to St Patrick's. It's probably winnable but I've been to Dublin before and Queens have played pre-season friendlies there in the past, there's no great adventure in it.
Ideally for me a trip to Iceland, Latvia or Lithuania please. Failing that I wouldn't mind Finland or perhaps Djugardens who sneaked through tonight on away goal rule v Flora Tallinn of Estonia.

Cheers UEFA!
Split into two groups has been done this morning and possible opponents now are narrowed to:
FC Midtjylland (DEN)
FC Nordsjælland (DEN)
Djurgårdens IF FF (SWE)
Kalmar FF (SWE)
FC Honka Espoo (FIN)
That's the
much harder half of the draw. We do NOT want Kalmar. Current leaders of the Swedish league, won 10-1 on aggregate last night. The two Danish sides won 10-1 and 8-0 first round and are very good sides too.
Best option is probably Honka who beat Akranes 4-2 in the last round. Djugardens actually only got through on away goals against Flora Tallinn of Estonia but do have good pedigree
Ground capacities: Nordsjaelland - 10,000 Midtjyland 11,800 Djugardens 14,417 Kalmar 10,000 Honka Espoo 6,000
