Europa League 3rd Qualifying Round draw

After both Elfsborg and Helsingborgs got through they join IFK Göteborg in the 3rd qualifying round. 

Elfsborg: Elfsborg are off to Portugal in this round after Sporting Braga were pinned up against the 2008 Allsvenskan runners-up. Sporting Braga will be a big test for Elfsborg. 

Helsingborgs: Helsingborgs are to face Bosnian side FK Sarajevo. After just sneaking through against Zestafoni, Helsingborgs will need a much better showing if they are to progress. 

IFK Göteborg: IFK Göteborg make their Europa League bow against Israeli side Hapoel Tel-Aviv. The Israeli's who made the Quarter-finals of the UEFA cup back in 2001-02 will be tough opponents for the weakend IFK. 

The 1st legs get underway on July 30th with both Helsingborgs and Elfsborg playing away. The return legs are on August 6th with Helsingborgs and Elfsborg playing at home while IFK Göteborg are away in Israel.
