On Monday, Hajduk and Osijek found out their opponents in Europa League’s second qualifying round. Hajduk will play against the Macedonian club Renova away, and Osijek will play against Basel.
The draw for the third qualifying round was held today, and Rijeka and Lokomotiva joined Hajduk and Osijek in learning their opponents. In this phase of the competition, only one match will be played without spectators, and two matches will be played in the playoffs.
Lokomotiva away, Greek Aris or Ukrainian Kolos arrives in Rijeka
The first to be drawn was Lokomotiva, which moved to the Europa League after losing to the Vienna club Rapid in the Champions League. Lokomotiva will thus host the winner between Hungarian club Honved and Swedish club Malmo.
