At first glance, that seems to be the least heavy assignment. Thanks to his status as a series of the series, Club could certainly avoid Nice and Benfica, but the other possibility was the winner of the game between Feyenoord and Fenerbahçe. In the case of elimination, Club goes directly to the League Phase of the Europa League.
Club Brugge first has to work this and next week against the Austrian RB Salzburg in the third preliminary round. The winner of that game is allowed to go to the play-off round and will first play outside on 19 or 20 August. The return match follows a week later on 26 or 27 August. The exact schedule will only be announced later on Monday. The winners of that diptych are allowed to go to the Lucrative League Phase, which will start in September.
