Stoke ready to split

15 July 2011 14:00

Stoke's first Europa League tie will see them face Croatian giants Hajduk Split in the third qualifying round.

The first leg will take place at the Britannia Stadium on July 28 before the FA Cup runners-up travel to Split on August 4. Fulham, who are 3-1 up on Crusaders after Thursday's first leg, are also likely to face a team from the Croatian city, with RNK Split leading Domzale of Slovenia 2-1 heading into their home match.

Hearts will meet Hungarian side Paksi or Tromso of Norway while a clash with either Metalurg Skopje of Macedonia or Bulgaria's Levski Sofia awaits Dundee United if they can overturn a 1-0 first-leg deficit to Slask Wroclaw.
