Who Motherwell could face in Europa Conference League qualifying as best and worst case scenarios revealed

Motherwell are all set to learn who they will face in the Europa Conference League as they gear up for a crack at European group stage football.

Graham Alexander and his team start earlier than any of the other SPFL representatives after their fifth-placed finish last season.

Their first game kicks off around five weeks from now with the second qualifying round commencing on July 21.

Second legs follow a week later on July 28, with all Conference League games taking place on Thursdays in line with this season.

Motherwell go in seeded but still have a wide range of potential opponents.

They'll avoid the likes of AZ Alkmaar and Molde who can be considered heavyweights at this stage of the competition.

But they could still end up facing Swedish side Elfsborg who just missed out on a seeded spot.

Bala Town face Sligo Rovers in one of the first-round ties and the winner of that goes in unseeded - meaning Motherwell could end up with a short Euro trip to Wales or Ireland.

San Marinese minnows Tri Penne may be the best case scenario should they make it past Bosnians Tuzla City.

The draw is due to take place on Wednesday July 15 at 12pm local time.

And you can see the full list of Motherwell's potential opponents below.

Europa Conference League second qualifying round

Seeded : AZ (NED), Molde (NOR), Motherwell (SCO) , Brondby (DEN), Dunajska Stresa (SVK) OR Cliftonville (IRE)

Undeeded : Elfsborg (SWE), Vikingur (FRO) OR Europa (GIB), Tri Penne (SMR) OR Tuzla City (BIZ), Bala Town (WAL) OR Sligo Rovers (IRE), Pogon Szczecin (POL) OR KR Reykjavik (ISL)
