D-Day is coming closer... The draw for the third preliminary round of the UEFA Champions League is scheduled for tomorrow, 12:00 CET. Ajax are once again on the list of seeded teams for the draw. We will be paired with an unseeded side. There is a more than 50% chance that we will be paired with an opponent out of the second preliminary round. In that case there will be two options, as the return legs in the second round still have to be played.

The options!

Sparta Prague (Czech Republic)
Fenerbahçe (Turkey)
FC Zürich (Switzerland)
Toulouse (France)
AEK Athens (Greece)
Dinamo Bucharest (Romania)
Spartak Moscow (Russia)

Or the winners from the following encounters. BATE Borisov, Rosenborg and Salzburg are 99.9% sure to advance. The other encounters are still open (we all know that a 1-2 win in the away leg might not be enough...).

Red Star Belgrade (Serbia) - Levadia Tallinn (Estonia) (first game: 1-0)
FC Copenhagen (Denmark) - Beitar Jerusalem (Israel) (1-0)
NK Domzale (Slovenia) - Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia) (1-2)
Racing Genk (Belgium) - FK Sarajevo (Bosnia-Herz.) (1-2)
VSC Debrecen (Hungary) - IF Elfsborg (Sweden) (0-1)
FK Ventspils (Latvia) - FC Salzburg (Austria) (0-3)
Hafnarfjördur (Iceland) - BATE Borisov (Belarus) (1-3)
Slavia Prague (Czech Rep.) - Zilina (Slovakia) (0-0)
FK Astana (Kazachstan) - Rosenborg BK (Norway) (1-3)

K.

If we get FC Copenhagehn again ... i can almost swear i will

hope we stay clear from Fenerbahce, Dinamo Bucharest and Spartak Moscow...

I like Dynamo Zagreb, Beta Borisov and FK Salzburg :hupajax.gif:

Id want Copenhagen, not only is it close but it wouldnt be a rough a game as in Turkey, Greece or Eastern Europe

Dont be so sure that copenhagen wil qualify.
Jerusalem played better in denmark and lost only 1-0

I'd prefer a trip to Prague , Zurich , or Salzburg.

Ajax v MSK Zilina or SK Slavia Prague

not a bad draw

Will still be difficult, but way better than Celtic's draw - Spartak Moscow.

Nope.... shouldn't complain.

Nice draw...could have been a hell of a lot worse:


AFC Ajax (NED) v MŠK Žilina (SVK) / SK Slavia Praha (CZE)


FC Spartak Moskva (RUS) v Celtic FC (SCO)
Fenerbahçe SK (TUR) v RSC Anderlecht (BEL)
Toulouse FC (FRA) v Liverpool FC (ENG)
SL Benfica (POR) v FC København (DEN) / Beitar Jerusalem FC (ISR)
S.S. Lazio (ITA) v FC Dinamo 1948 Bucuresti (ROU)
AC Sparta Praha (CZE) v Arsenal FC (ENG)
Sevilla FC (ESP) v AEK Athens FC (GRE)

tough draw for all of these....

For rats sake dont mess it up this time lads.....

We can't fuck this up, its just too easy!

Anythings posible with Ajax.....sadly

Tell me about it! I was at the Arena when Ajax faced Lausanne Sport, Kopenhagen and that sort of crap.... But this time I have good feelings about it.

Is it known when are the games ?

aug 14/15 and aug 27/28 I believe

piece of cake, just like last season

So....who do you guy's prefer ??? Slavia or Zilina ????

will it be on the 27/08 or the 28/08 ?

Its between the 28th or 29th but its undecided yet for this fixture.

First one is on the 15th, 20:30.

ok so everybody knows their next opponent except us.....jesus....both teams have not been able to score a goal in either leg.....we should just beat thye crap out of whichever team comes out

We're going to Slovakia...

Žilina win on away goal(s)

nope....its too the czech republic....Slavia win 4-3 after spot kicks.

Yeah, it's what UEFA.com says, but the funny thing is that no goals were scored!
I also read on another board that Slavia won... Don't know where it was found but it makes more sense anyway.

Our quest for European domination begins soon...

As in, our quest to be dominated in Europe?
