Finnish clubs in European competitions 2011

Both new and familiar faces. In the CL HJK will meet Bangor City who come to Helsinki area third time in a row, twice they have met FC Honka and even shockingly qualified last summer after an extremely unlucky Honka performance at home.

Honka vs Nomme Kalju is nothing exotic either as Nomme are frequent visitors to Finland and I think I saw them here 4-5 times last pre-season. Swedish Häcken awaits on the next round.

TPS meet a Belgian club Westerlo. Last summer they had a good chance - at least resultwise - vs Brugge and this time of the year Westerlo are beatable.

KuPS will meet a Romanian club Gaz Metan. Last summer MyPa already were about to win another and bigger Romanian club Timisoara but naturally blew it in the end, and the only success of that meeting was that they sold their Canadian striker Ricketts to Timisoara who were attracted by his speed and the few goals he managed to score the whole season - but they were in the Romanians net.

Bangor, you are especially welcome!
