Europa League

Hull City drawn with KSC Lokeren OV in Europa League

By , Senior Reporter
Hull City will need to overcome KSC Lokeren OV if they are to progress through to the group stages of the Europa League.

Hull City have been drawn against KSC Lokeren OV in the playoff round of the Europa League.

The Premier League outfit qualified for this stage of the competition with a 2-1 victory over Trencin on Thursday evening, but they are expected to come up against tougher opposition in Lokeren.

Steve Bruce's side faced potential trips to Croatia and Kazakhstan in Friday's draw, but despite a closely-fought tie being expected, the Tigers boss will be relatively pleased with the shorter trip to Belgium.

Lokeren, who are coached by Peter Maes, finished in fifth position in the Belgian Pro League last season.

The first leg will take place at the Daknamstadion on August 21, with the reverse fixture being staged at the KC Stadium on August 28.
