Europa League draw – YB in playoffs against Tirana, FCSG faces duel with Wolfsburg – Sport

Following the disappointment and elimination from the Champions League qualifying, YB can count on a good chance of at least progressing to the Europa League group stage.

The Swiss champions will face KF Tirana, the Albanian champions, at home on October 1. The winner of the game qualifies for the group stage of the Europa League.

St. Gallen against Wolfsburg-Swiss?

Basel and St. Gallen have yet to make the playoffs. FCB must first beat Anorthosis Famagusta of Cyprus in the third qualifying round next Thursday. St. Gallen intervenes in the competition with the home game against AEK Athens.

If the Swiss from Eastern Switzerland win, they will be given an attractive ticket. In the playoffs they would face the winner of the duel between Wolfsburg of the Bundesliga and the Ukrainian Desna Tschernihiw. Wolfsburg with the 3 Swiss internationals Admir Mehmedi, Renato Steffen and Kevin Mbabu failed only in the round of 16 last season of the Europa League.

If FC Basel overcomes the Famagusta hurdle at home after the victory in Osijek, on 1 October they would face CSKA Sofia or Torshavn of the Faroe Islands, also coached by Krassimir Balakov, in St. Jakob-Park.
