Friday 27 August, 2004
Parma, Lazio and Udinese will be confident of winning their first round UEFA Cup games after today’s draw.
The Gialloblu will face Slovenian side Maribor over two legs, which will be played on September 16 and 30.
Capital side Lazio will entertain Metalurg Donetsk of the Ukraine, while Greek outfit Panionios are Udinese’s opponents.
The UEFA Cup has a new format this season as winners of the first round games will then enter a group phase – with eight groups of five teams.
Clubs will only play each other once – a total of two home games and two away games.
The top three sides in the group, a total of 24, will then be joined by eight more clubs eliminated from the Champions’ League before the knock-out stages start again.
