Ray Patterson Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) Well, we've qualified for Europe - what a time to be alive. If we finish 5th we'll be in Qualifying Round 2 of the Europa Conference League. If we finish Now that we've finished 4th, we start a round later in QR3 but will almost certainly be unseeded. The dates for QR3 are 4th and 11th August, with the draw in mid-July. The final will take place in Prague on the 7th June 2023. In terms of prize money, it's €100,000 per round that United play in Qualifying, plus a fee when eliminated, which is €550,000 in QR3 and €750,000 in the Playoff Round. This sheet on Old Bert's forum has our possible opponents based on current league tables and previous rounds seeding: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zpt5J7mz3t-53slOYtKzijZrZYCF39aHWd7MvZu-t1U/edit?usp=sharing Some decent sides in there!

tarapoa Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Looking like Antwerp, AZ, PAOK or Basel are your choice of seeds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger29 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Looking like Antwerp, AZ, PAOK or Basel are your choice of seeds.PAOK was a mistake by UEFA. They're in a different group.It's Basel, AZ, Antwerp or CSKA-Sofia now.Or to give the full list:Basel (SUI) / Crusaders (NIR)Tuzla City (BIH) / AZ (NED)Royal Antwerp (BEL) / Drita (KOS)CSKA-Sofia (BUL) / Makedonija (MKD)Out of the four favourites to go through CSKA are comfortably the worst. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetterlund Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Hopefully one of the underdogs can perform a miracle in the round before and we have a chance at an easier draw. If not, from that lot CSKA wouldn't exactly be a forgone conclusion IMO. They scraped into the group last year winning on pens vs a Latvian mob. (hopium level strong) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) From a logistics/fun point of view AZ is the dream. 30 min train from Amsterdam. I think the group is definitely on the hard side compared to what it could have been but they are all a level below the Old Firm. I don't know what Basel are like these but I remember (a very good) Hearts turning them over since their CL heyday which was about 20 years ago now.

Antwerp is a 55 minute train from Schiphol as well, which is handy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottMc77 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 AZ Alkmaar or Tuzla (of Bosnia). Home in first leg. Away on 11 August? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottMc77 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Flights with Easyjet from Edi are £175 just now (to Amsterdam). Flying out Wednesday am and back Friday midday-ish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I'll definitely try to go to the game at Tannadice. Alkmaar itself isn't big but worth a visit, some good pubs there. For some pre-match pints I'd suggest to get to Alkmaar a bit early as it's a hell of a lot cheaper than central Amsterdam. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Just now, betting competition said: Wouldn't presume its Alkmaar that will get through. They got knocked out by a Norwegian team last season in the conference league play-offs. Not the best draw you could have got but good luck. True, these tips are for if they win. But they are firm favourites imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I'm booked up for Amsterdam and if Alkmaar lose I'll just be having a few nights in Amsterdam as I'm not going to Bosnia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GallowayBlue Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Would obviously think AZ are the favourites and might win handsomely, but did Aberdeen not beat Groningen a few years ago? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I remember Vitesse Arnhem pumping us around 91ish and realising we probably weren't a huge team anymore. Good to get to turn the tide again on Dutch soil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
