Of the 48 sides that will contest the group stage this autumn, 16 are already known: Villarreal CF, FC Augsburg, FC Schalke 04, Liverpool FC, Tottenham Hotspur FC, ACF Fiorentina, SSC Napoli, SC Braga, Olympique de Marseille, FC Lokomotiv Moskva, FC Groningen, FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk, RSC Anderlecht, Be?ikta? JK, Asteras Tripolis FC, FC Sion.

 

Of the remaining 32 teams, 22 come from qualifying, which begins at the end of June and culminates in August's play-offs. Then there are ten teams that transfer from the UEFA Champions League after losing that competition's play-offs.

 

Interesting that FC Gronigen go straight into group stages despite early exit from competition at our hands last year

Surely that's just because they finished higher in the league? ;)

 

I'd agree Jute, if we failed to get past those, it would be pretty embarrassing.

McInnes on SSN just now

Difficult draw, tough team, heat a problem, but confident and capable of beating Macedonians and doesn't want to comment on potential second round opponents.

Feels we need luck on our side, wants to repeat success of European campaign last season, and hope to improve as we go along.

Feels our squad is strong, competition for places, hopes to sign another one or two before window closes but not before European games.

Any improvement on last season domestically or in Europe is progress for AFC etc etc....
