For country co-efficient, it's the same as it has been for qualification rounds in the other 2 competitions. 1 point for a win and 0.5 point for a draw.

Bit ouch for Sligo, but the rest have dodged some very big hitters in R2.
Rovers play Young Boys of Berne if they get past slovan
On the flip side dundalk are getting great draws, even with seeding they've avoided any difficult teams again.
Sligo vs Rosenberg - good luck with that!
Yeah absolutely. R2 has more big sides than easy. Dundalk and Bohs with the best draws they could have asked for out of those groupings. Very fortunate.
Dundalk avoiding Swedish, Hungarians and Slovaks.
Bohs avoiding Portuguese, Belgians, Danes, Scottish.
Sligo had no easy teams in their grouping at all, was always gonna be a tough one.
Ha - Bohs v Dudelange! That'll be interesting.
Rovers v Slovan means a nice 2015 remix while I wait for UCD's next random way of qualifying for Europe...
Bit swings and roundabouts, BATE x2 and Rosenborg albeit getting at minimum a results in those ties. Slovan and Qarabag werent the greatest draws. But the last 2 years its so far so good. Hard to dampen expectations considering our current form with those draws up to QR3 - its th hope that kills ye.
Quandary for owners if we progress again in these 2 rounds, put a season saving run together (HA!!) and qualify for Europe. Cut budget to more appropriate levels which could still be domestically competitive - well it could cause a rethink back to medium longer term thinking by P6, and another year to their ownership, whether that would be good or bad thing fook knows.
Good draw for Dundalk in QR1, but most likely facing Levadia Tallinn in QR2 - who beat De Town home and away in 2018, and Cork City 6-2 on aggregate in 2017.
Quite right, lads! I'm awarding myself a yellow card. However, the prospect of getting to QR3 lifts the mood!
We had a similar situation in 2018. We lost to Legia, got a bye in the second round of the Europa League and then lost to Rosenborg. We didnt get the second round prize money. In hindsight I think we would have preferred to play the second round. Probably a chance of a better draw than then eventual one we got, and if we had gone out in the third round having won a tie it would have felt a lot better than getting beaten pretty comfortably (in the end, the Legia tie was pretty close until about half time in the second leg) in both rounds.
I assume this is a typo from Demesne? Cork City won 6-2 as Nesta points out. Our second ever win both home and away in Europe. Cracking goal from Beattie in Parnu (game was moved from Tallinn) in the first leg and a hattrick from Seanie at home, after we gave up our away goals advantage.
Alas, not a typo but an own goal under pressure (from the dog) by misreading the Wiki entry on Levadia Tallinn.
Back to cleaning the First Team's boots, I suppose.
It'll be a local derby seeing as it's all Rovers have on the bench these days anyway (so they tell us)
