Liverpool face Hoffenheim and Celtic draw Astana in Champions League play-offs
Jürgen Klopp’s side will start as favourites against Hoffenheim, but
will be tested by a side who survived relegation under Julian Nagelsmann
before pulling off a surprise top-four finish.
Celtic
face an 8,000 mile round trip to take on Astana, who they defeated in
the third qualifying round last season. Elsewhere, France and Italy’s
third-placed sides, Napoli and Nice, face each other. The winners of the
ten ties will join 22 sides who have already qualified for the group
stages.
The first legs, with Hoffenheim and Celtic at home, are on 15 or 16
August, with the return legs the following week. Liverpool face Crystal
Palace between the two ties, and Arsenal on 27 August.
