UEFA Cup competition first qualifying round sees the Blues playing EB/Streymur (Faroe Islands - 250 miles North of Scotland) at the Vio Margair on 17th July. City are in good shape then - no.

France vs. Scotland, Parc des Princes - Paris

Les Bleus can put a little distant between themselves and the second place Scots here with a win in Paris. In fact, it'd probably be a good idea if the did so, since even if Italy win, a French win at the Faroe Islands in October would all but assure themselves advancement.
