Swansea's Laudrup hoping for cushy Europa draw

Swansea City manager Michael Luadrup has his fingers crossed that his side is given a favourable draw for the next leg of their Europa League qualification campaign.

The Swans are through to the play-off after beating Malmo 4-0 on aggregate and could be up against the likes of Esbjerg of Denmark, Norwegian sides Tromso and Molde and Swedish outfit Elfsborg after Friday's draw takes place.

"We will be seeded so that is good and means we avoid some of the big teams in there, although there are good teams in the other half (of the draw)," said Laudrup after the 0-0 draw with Malmo on Thursday night.

"There are some Swedish, Danish and Norwegian teams and some Eastern European sides as well.

"I hope we will have a good short trip. This has been perfect, but I would like to play away in the first leg."
