Pretty much confirmed to be the following, with the higher coefficient side highlighted:

Shamrock Rovers / Shkupi

Malmo / Dudelange

Linfield / Zurich

Maribor / HJK

Olympiacos / Slovan Bratislava

AEK Larnaca / Partizan

Fenerbahce / Slovacko

Malmo and Olympiacos getting pumped tonight wasn't great for us. I'd say we'd be favourites against Shamrock/Shkupi, outsiders against Malmo/Zurich/Maribor and complete no-hopers against Olympiacos/Partizan/Fenerbahce.

I see they've changed the draw format last minute such that we can now add Neil Lennon's Omonoia to the list of possible opponents.

Excellent patter from UEFA.

I don't think I've wanted a draw between 2 clubs I don't support more than Hearts v Neil Lennon tbh.

It's fine, it's fine. It was all originally foreseen. 👀

Due to the rebalancing of this year's access list (which led to only two teams qualifying from the Europa League third qualifying round (Main path) and seven teams instead of the six foreseen by the regulations directly qualified for the Europa League play-offs), in compliance with the decision of the Club Competitions Committee, the seventh team directly qualified for the play-offs (i.e. the domestic cup winners of the 15th-ranked member association) remain priority 4, as originally foreseen.

Hopefully Donis Avdijaj is on the free-kicks for Zurich.

His Wikipedia article is great:

 After signing for Hearts, Avdijaj said "There is no country, no city in the world where I don't score [a goal]. I score everywhere." Two days later, he made his debut for Hearts in a goalless draw against Ross County. and has not scored a league goal since.

Zurich lost 5-4 to Qarabag (who haven't started their season yet) in the CL qualifiers, and are bottom of the Swiss league with one point from 3 games...

There were worse potential draws, but they won the Swiss league easily last season and will be pretty firm favourites I'd imagine.

The great thing about this is, unless Linfield somehow get through and beat us, there's very little downside to losing here. Arguably the ECL groups could be more fun and more lucrative.
