Malmö FF will face FC Köpenhamn on Tuesday in the first of two heated matches in the qualifying round for the Champions League.

On Monday, the opponents were drawn for the subsequent playoff matches.

Swiss champions

Those who win the Öresund derby will get to play against Swiss FC Basel. The first of two matches will be played on Basel's home ground S:t Jakob-Park.

Last season, Basel won both the Swiss league and the domestic cup.

The winner of the playoff will play in the Champions League in the fall.

In the event of a loss to FCK, Malmö will instead play in the playoff for the Europa League, where they will face Czech Sigma Olomouc.

In the Europa League qualifying round, Häcken will play against Brann in the third qualifying round. If Häcken wins, they will face the winner of the double match between AEK Larnaca and Legia Warszawa in the playoff.

Häcken or Brann will start on their home ground.

In the event of a loss to Brann, Häcken will play in the playoff for the Conference League, against either Romanian Cluj or Portuguese Braga.

Mainz or eliminated

AIK will face Hungarian Györi next in the Conference League qualifying round. A win in the double match means that "Gnaget" will face the winner between Austrian Rapid Wien and Scottish Dundee United in the playoff for the Conference League. AIK will start on their home ground.

In the event of a loss, AIK will have finished playing in Europe.

For Hammarby, the obstacle is Rosenborg, which they must overcome before they can look forward to the playoff for the Conference League. If they manage to overcome Rosenborg, it will be Mainz from Germany that awaits. "Bajen" will start on their home ground in that case.

For Hammarby, a loss also means no further play in any European tournament.
