Slavia draw in group stages

AS Monaco FC (FRA)
SK Slavia Praha (CZE)
Hamburger SV (GER)
PFC CSKA Sofia (BUL)
Viking FK (NOR)

Not exactly the most glamourous group.

Looking at the other groups, if we came up against the likes of Brøndby IF (DEN) or Maccabi Petach-Tikva (ISR) from Group B, Halmstads BK (SWE) in Group C, AZ Alkmaar (NED) or PFC Litex Lovech (BUL) in Group D, Tromsø IL (NOR) in E, we could have gone through to the group stages. All teams we could beat IMO.

Alkmaar are a decent outfit these days so that would've been a step too far IMO, agree with the rest though.

Yep! We were put out by a decent side in fairness.
That draw could have been a lot kinder to us.

Troy, Alkmaar are top of the Dutch league.
They'd sweep us aside easily.
