Connah’s Quay and New Saints find out qualifying opponents for Round Three

Connah’s Quay and The New Saints found out their next possible European opponents.

TNS know both their Champions League and Europa League opponents, whilst Connah’s Quay can only prepare for the Europa.

If they shock FC København then they’ll face the winner of HJK Helsinki or Red Star Belgrade.

A win for Belgrade would mean two trips to Serbia for the Welsh sides this summer after Connah’s Quay fly to Serbia next week for their second leg with FK Partizan.

A TNS win and an HJK Helsinki win would see a trip to Finland. Connah’s Quay beat HJK Helsinki two seasons ago. 

Should The New Saints taste defeat to København then they’ll have the Europa League as a backup.

They’ll play the winners of the Europa League Champions Path tie between Knattspyrnufélagið Valu of Iceland and PFC Ludogorets Razgrad of Bulgaria.

Connah’s Quay face a trip to either Slovenia or Turkey. 

They’ve been drawn against Yeni Malatyaspor (Turkey) or NK Olimpija Ljubljana (Slovenia). 

If TNS can beat Copenhagen then they’ll jet off to either Serbia or Helsinki first on the 6th/7th August, before playing the return leg  on the 13th August.

Should Connah’s Quay progress, then they’ll play at home on the 8th August, before travelling to either Slovenia or Turkey on the 15th August.

The New Saints will travel to either Reykjavík or Razgrad first on the 8th August, before playing the return leg on the 15th August, if they drop into the Europa League.

UEFA Champions League

Red Star Belgrade (Serbia) or HJK Helsinki (Finland)
