However, if the Blues are to progress they will face Wales' Bala Town or Paide Linnameeskond from Estonia, whilst Crusaders will lock horns with Polish giants Legia Warsaw if they are also victorious against their Welsh opponents.

Cliftonville – who enter at the second qualifying round due to their Irish Cup victory – will face either FK Auda of Latvia or B36 Torshavn of the Faroe Islands.
