GordonS Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Scotland confirmed among the top seeds for the draw on 21 February, with the first round of matches on 26 August this year. Group winners and best 3 runners-up go through, with the 6 other runners-up playing off for the final three spots. The finals will be held in England.

GordonS Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 So we got Finland, Portugal, Albania and Cyrpus. A pretty tough draw. Finland aren't one of the better sides in Pot 2, they didn't have a great World Cup qualifying campaign, but they're managed by ex-Scotland boss Anna Signeul who will know exactly how to play us. Portugal are arguably the best team in Pot 3, again they didn't have a great World Cup qualifying campaign though they weren't far behind, but they qualified for the last European Championships where they beat us 2-1. They only lost 2-1 to England, too. I don't know how much churn they've had in their squad since then, though. Albania we know, and we should beat even if it was a close-run thing there last year. Cyprus are a bit of an unknown quantity, this is the first time they've entered qualification for some time, possibly ever. But their best club side, Somatia Barcelona, beat Glasgow City 1-0 in the second leg of a Champions League Round of 32 tie at Petershill last year, with Glasgow squeeking through 2-1 on aggregate. We avoided the 4-5 better sides in Pot 2, but this is still a fairly difficult group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurkst Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I think we can get through this again. And with the finals being in England there's a huge incentive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the raised profile of the squad will see a decent turnout (wherever it's played!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing against St Mirren but you want somewhere you can maximise the potential for walk-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
