  • Mon, Jun 22, 2009 @ 12:35

Competition: Europa League

What's it worth:

€90,000 per round, with €1m for clubs who make the group stage

Entering at:

Second qualifying round

Status: Seeded

Realistic ambition:

The Saints are considerably inferior this year to the side which performed so strongly last year, knocking out Swedish big guns Elfsborg before losing narrowly to Hertha Berlin. Progressing to the third qualifying round is the most that can be expected

Who do they want today?

Santa Coloma, Juvenus Dogana, Crusaders, Bangor City

Who do they wish to avoid?

FBK Kaunas, FK Sarajevo, Dinamo Minsk

What it means to them?

The Saints have made serious cutbacks and have lessened expectations accordingly, so it's not quite a matter of life or death.
