Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup has expressed his contentment with the prospect of facing either Scottish side Hibernian or Swedish outfit Malmo in the Europa League.
The Welsh outfit, who secured a place in the European competition following their Capital One Cup win, discovered their potential opponents following the draw in Nyon today.
"I'm pleased with the draw," Laudrup told the club's official website. "It was important for me that we avoided a long trip and the prospect of difficult weather conditions. Sweden or Scotland is perfect for us geographically.
"We also know the playing styles of both teams, so that is also a positive for us, although I would have preferred to be away in the first leg rather than home. But you can't have everything."
Swansea have not competed in Europe for 22 years.
