    Today at 12 CET the groups for the second round of the Uefa Cup will be drawn. Of course not as prestigious as the Champions League, but there seems to be a lot of quality in all of the Pots this year. Very few really small teams.

    POT1
    AC Milan
    Sevilla
    Valencia
    Benfica
    Schalke 04
    CSKA Moscow
    Tottenham Hotspur
    Hamburger SV

    POT2
    VfB Stuttgart
    Ajax
    Olympiakos Piraeus
    Deportivo La Coruña
    Club Brugge
    Spartak Moscow
    Paris Saint-Germain
    Heerenveen

    POT3
    Rosenborg BK
    Udinese
    Feyenoord
    Sporting Braga
    Slavia Prag
    Manchester City
    Galatasaray
    Sampdoria

    POT4
    Hertha BSC
    Partizan Belgrade
    AS Nancy Lorraine
    Portsmouth FC
    Aston Villa
    Racing Santander
    FC København
    Dinamo Zagreb

    POT5
    AS Saint-Étienne
    VfL Wolfsburg
    Standard Liège
    FC Twente Enschede
    NEC Nijmegen
    Metalist Kharkiv
    Lech Posen
    MSK Zilina

    The draw could bring up some interesting groups like:

    AC Milan
    AJAX
    Man City
    Santander
    Standard Liege

    or

    Sevilla
    Stuttgart
    Udinese
    Aston Villa
    AS Saint-Étienne

    Looking forward to the draw, and hoping that my team (Hamburg) gets a decent (i.e. doable and attractive) group.

    Knowing our luck, City will get Milan, Belgrade, Zagreb and Liege.

    And if they did, I'm confident they'd get through. Remember, it's three from five progressing and City will only have to play two of those teams away. Places like Belgrade and Zagreb could be a tad hostile but I don't think City would have anything to fear if the four teams you mentioned were their group opponents.

    Come on Olympiacos!!!!!

    Partizan is very tough to play against in Belgrade,no matter which team is guest;)
    They are in good shape so its better to skip them at the moment

    This group would be interesting:

    AC Milan/Sevilla/Hamburg
    Ajax/VfB Stuttgart/Deportivo La Coruña
    Manchester City/Feyenoord/Galatasaray
    Hertha BSC/Portsmouth FC/Aston Villa/Dinamo Zagreb
    Standard Liège/VfL Wolfsburg

    Any mixture of those would be great groups imo.

    This would be a dire group:

    Tottenham Hotspur
    Club Brugge
    Slavia Prag
    FC København
    Lech Posen

    Other than the small matter of AC Milan, it doesn't look too difficult tbh.

    Nice draw for Hamburg. I think A, C & F are the most interesting groups on paper, A & C being the strongest on paper.

    The thing to remember is that it's three from five to go through, which isnt exactly massively difficult.

    I think Milan aside Portsmouth's group is pretty reasonable.

    I'd also expect Villa to go through too.

    Spurs if they continue playing like they have been no chance - however if they actually start playing like they should might manage it

    Man City - I would expect them to go through handily enough
