Champions League 2017/18 Qualifiers

The qualifying draw - glad we're not pissing around in this tbh

HOFFENHEIM v LIVERPOOL
NAPOLI v NICE
YOUNG BOYS v CSKA MOSCOW
ISTANBUL BASAKSEHIR v SEVILLA
H. BEER-SHEVA v MARIBOR
CELTIC v ASTANA
OLYMPIACOS v RIJEKA
APOEL FC v SLAVIA PRAGUE
QARABAG v COPENHAGEN

Couple of decent ties, expect Liverpool, Celtic and Sevilla to get through
Would like Prague to go through and Copenhagen

Napoli v Nice tie of the round I reckon

Don't know anything about Hoffenheim, but they're German so hopefully got some backbone about them.

Arguably the toughest draw they could have got.

Wouldn't it be nice

Scousers got the draw they didn`t want. Hoffenheim are a decent team. At the end of last season they beat Bayer, Bayern,Werder,Hamburg and only went down 2-1 to Dortmund.

They'll still be fresh and will win at a canter.

Isn't Hoffenheim the team with the 13 year old manager who has never played professional football?

If by some miracle they're knocked out, do they drop into the Europa?

He is 30. He has been there since 2008 coaching at various levels. His nickname is "Mini-Mourinho" . Gonna definately knock them out now.

And yes Billy they do.
