^^ I had some feeling we will draw Vardar
Them or
Sutjeska. Though, I was only afraid of
Ludogorets Razgrad. They are a very dangerous team and I am now sure how much we would've been prepared for them. Dinamo Zagreb barely passed them last year...........
Now here are the results of the draw for the
teams:
UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
Shirak / Tre Penne - Partizan
I think this is a perfect draw. Both teams are much, much weaker than Partizan, and we shouldn't have problems with any of them. Tre Penne played against Rad two years ago, and Rad beated them with 9:1 in two matches
I expect the victory of Shirak here and I think they will outclass Tre Penne quite easily, so I see the Armenian champion as our first rival. We are the absolute favorites against Shirak, but we also must not underestimate them as all kinds of things happen in modern football, and Shamrock Rovers have proven that against us two years ago and Dudelange has shown that as well last year. I expect my team to cross this opponent without much problems.
UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE
Vojvodina - Hibernians
A very good draw for Vojvodina. Hibernians have history and tradition in Malta, but Vojvodina is a better team in all aspects and with Marko Nikolic as their coach I doubt that things can go the wrong way. I expect the pass of Vojvodina, and things solved in maybe even the first match.
IBV / Torshavn -
Crvena Zvezda
I think that Zvezda had a good draw as well. They are much stronger than both of these potential rivals. I expect IBV to be their rival. I don't have much info about them but I know that they are fighting a lot on the field, that they have several English players and even the famous David James as a goalie. If Zvezda doesn't underestimate them, I don't expect problems for them here, but they really need to take these teams seriously as, through their history, they had much problems with the northern teams as that style is something they barely cope with.
Jagodina -
Rubin Kazan
And Jagodina was the most unlucky team on the draw. Rubin Kazan is just too strong for them, and the only positive thing is that the city of Jagodina will see one big team there. When we look at the game, Jagodina is almost completely chance-less against Rubin. The best player Miloš Stojanović left the club, and if they sell El Monir, they will lower their already low chances.
So, I expect Partizan, Crvena Zvezda and Vojvodina in the next round(s).
