Europa League Draw Group 3 Saints Possible Opponents
Friday, 17th Jul 2015 09:28

The group that Saints are in has been released and Saints have a possible 10 opponents that they could meet.

The groups have been released for the Europa league 3rd qualifying round draw at noon today and Saints could be heading to some very diverse spots.

The unseeded teams and thus the teams Saints could be paired with our as follows.

7 Vitesse (NED)
8 SK Sturm Graz (AUT)
9 R. Charleroi SC (BEL)/Beitar Jerusalem FC (ISL)
10 FK Vojvodina (SRB)/FK Spartaks JÅ«rmala (LVA)
11 Shamrock Rovers FC (IRL)/Odds BK (NOR)
12 FK Kukësi (ALB)/FK Mladost Podgorica (MNE)

Perhaps the two teams that Saints would do well to avoid here are Vitesse from Holland and Sturm Graz from Austria, although Charleroi from Belgium are no mugs and take a 5-1 lead to Beitar Jerusalem for their second leg game so it looks like we wont be heading to the Holy Land.

Of the other ties FC Volvodina lead 3-0 after their home game against Spartaks Jurmala, Shamrock Rovers lost 2-0 at home to Odds so a trip to Norway is more likely than Ireland.

The final tie is evenly poised with Kukesi losing 1-0 at home to Mladost Podgorica, from a travel point of view this is the tie we probably most want to avoid.

Charleroi is who we want. It's close to home, they are beatable and the beer is exceptional.
