Certainly there will be some kind of seeding, but probably they'll release it after all the playoff matches tonight.
Really looking forward to it, my ultimate wish is a match in Portugal, in or close to Benelux and one far away in Eastern Europe, at best a country I haven't been to yet.
Guys from what I have reading we will probably be in pot nº3 in the draw tomorrow. We need 5 or 6 teams (depending on the source) above us in the UEFA rankings to loose today in order to reach the pot nº2 in tomorrow's draw.
I guess it's possible to cross-check the ranking list with current Europa League contenders to find out for sure. But it is a lot of work, so let's leave that for the paid journalists out there.
EDIT: Maybe high-ranked Spartak Moscow will lose to Legia. Agg. is at 4-4 right now...
Also a few higher-ranked-then-Athletic-teams (like Schalke 04, CSKA, Sparta Praha, AZ, Salzburg, Sevilla , Roma, Rangers, )are in trouble. Others (Celtic, PSV, Braga, Metalist, Sporting, Club Brugge) drew the first game and might lose tonight...
Sion (vs Celtic) 1-0 up and Celtic with 10 men. 0-0 in the first leg
Helsinki (vs Schalke) 3-1 down, 2-0 in the first leg.
Hannover (vs Sevilla) 0-1 up, 2-1 in the first leg
FC Vaslui (vs Sparta Praha) 1-0 up, 2-0 in the first leg
Maribor (vs Rangers) 0-0, 2-1 in the first leg
We need one more appart from these 5
Edit: Shit, now Schalke makes the fourth:wallbang:
