[Dikefale11]

We have Braga from Pot 1

Leicester from Pot 2

[Dikefale11]

Zorya from Ukraine from Pot 4 to complete it.

Not the best of groups but it could have been worse ,we avoided some dangerous teams from pot 4 such as Lille, Nice, even Sivasspor.

Would have liken to avoid Leicester as they were the most difficult from Pot 2, they will be favourites.

Other 2 are beatable.

[Reaper]

You have to beat the Ukrainians home and away. The other two will be hard.

[Dikefale11]

Yeah, hopefully they don't play on an artificial ground. Either way if we want to progress we need to bea them.

Looking at Braga they have lost their first league 2 games, hopefully we play them first.

[Original Sydney]

We can definitely go through but Braga is a tricky one. The Ukrainians we should beat you think. Get anything Miraculously from Leicester (even 1 point) and we are laughing.

[Damianos]

Tough draw with Leicester. Have to win all home games and hopefully in Ukraine. Hard but not impossible!

[Amorgos]

[Dikefale11]

Not bad, hopefully come Leicester last game either they have qualified or we have.

Good to start away to Braga, hopefully grab a point there.

Back to back games vs Zorya must be wins if we are to have any hope.

We are just ahead of Braga as favourites to qualify from the group.

[Dikefale11]

The squad for the group stages.

Szymanski left out as will only be getting back and will need some time to get match fit, hasnt kicked a ball in some time.

Paulinho the other exclusion. Tbh it could ha e gone either way between him and Bakakis, even Vasilantonopoukos to some degree. We dont need 3 RBs.

[Dikefale11]

We are 99% seeded for 2nd, 3rd, Play off qualifying rounds in Conference League. Need a big showing in Europe this year for the sake of Greece's coefficient.

[Dikefale11]

We begin out European journey this season away to one of the above on 22/07 and at home on 29/07

[Original Sydney]

We should make the group stages in this Comp and considering it’s a 3rd tier cup, with a bit of luck and decent draw get a good run in it.

[Reaper]

Final in Tirana. Would be nice for those Albanians to learn first hand about the origins of the Dikefalos.
