AFC Ajax and FC Twente are set to face potential play-off opponents in their quest for European competition. NEC, Bodø/Glimt, Union Sint-Gillis, Shelbourne, FK Jablonec, RFS, FK Zalgiris, Hajduk Split, SK Brann, Apollon Limassol, Inter Turku, FC Vaduz, FC Noah, and FC Sion are among the teams that could challenge Ajax in the Conference League. Twente will face either SC Braga or Dinamo Minsk, Dinamo Kiev or Qarabag FK, Partizan Belgrade or FC Tobol, or FC Lugano and NSÍ Runavik.
If NEC manages to survive the two-legged tie against Olympiakos, they could potentially face Bodø/Glimt or Union Sint-Gillis in the play-offs. Ajax will have to avoid Shelbourne and then compete against a winner from the duels between FK Jablonec and RFS, FK Zalgiris and Hajduk Split, SK Brann and Apollon Limassol, Inter Turku and FC Vaduz, and finally FC Noah and FC Sion in the Conference League stage.
FC Twente faces a tough task if they want to reach the main competition of the Conference League. After defeating FC DAC, they will need to win two more matches against either SC Braga or Dinamo Minsk, Dinamo Kiev or Qarabag FK, Partizan Belgrade or FC Tobol, and possibly FC Lugano and NSÍ Runavik.
