This is in order based on who I believe they'd either have an easy chance of beating them, or they'd just get the job done on a consistent basis.
1. Fenerbache - Personally I just don't see them winning in a two leg affair. I can see a 3-1 aggregate or just 2-0. 2. 2. Braga - Sure they may be doing well in Portugal but head to head with Bilbao we'd be able to beat them without going to extra time. 3. Anderlecht 4. Sparta Prague - They got some firepower but their competition is not impressive and a trip to Spain would end them 5. Shakhtar Donetsk - Head to head we beat them in the Champions League a season ago. We can do it again. 6. Basel 7. Villarreal - Would be a tough matchup but all after this point are tough. We've had some success vs them but games were high scoring. 8. Valencia - Neville has not had the best start though he seems to be fighting the ship with the RD32 victory over Rapid Vienna (10-0). We have yet to see if he can perform well in La Liga and since Bilbao has triumphed over them already, I would not be upset. 9. Liverpool - Even though their 9/1 odds I think this team has never seen an Athletic Bilbao in their life. Their defensive errors would kill them. Ranking them #9 due to them being at the premier league and they keep games low scoring. 10. Bayer Leverkusen - Really don't want to play this team and teams after this I would hate to be drawn against. Something about a trip to Germany vs an ex. Champions League team does not sound inviting. It would be do-able though 6/10 times. 11. Lazio - LOL. We beat them to make the Champions League and I don't even want to imagine how hard they'd play us. We didn't blow them out and they were quite tough so I'll pass. 12. Manchester United - They could maybe be in positions 7-11 but their inconsistencies are not appetizing to me. If they catch us on a good day, it'll be tough to get a road goal against a quality GK like De Gea. It would be a low scoring affair and I'd hate to see us lose like 1-0 or 0-0 on pens. 13. Sevilla - They win their Europa League games. Tough matches vs them in La Liga, and even tougher to try them in a competition where they thrive in. 14. Tottenham Hotspur - Wildly hot team in the Premier League who I'd think beat us 8/10 times. They got a strong attacking force that could cause our team issues. Right now in their streak, I wanna stay away. 15. Borussia Dortmund - 4/1 odds on some websites and just ignoring the odds, they just are oozing with talent. I'll be OK facing them maybe in the semifinals, but this early on when there are a solid 10 teams I'd for sure want, NO THANK YOU! XD
Feel free to post about your teams; no need to write a lot like I did. I'm very curious to see how the England fans feel about who they'd want to face. |

| But teams like Borussia Dortmand who have Aubameyang Reus Hummels, Bayer 04 who have the big man himself "Chicharito"and Hotspurs are really good so itll be hard for them to win against. |

| Yeah I agree. I ranked them toward the bottom for a reason. Had trouble placing Man U somewhere but I can see a swap with Bayern. They're interchangeable. |

| Athletic Bilbao draws Valencia (#8/15 on my list) in the RD of 16. It should be a tough matchup, but I'm excited that it's against another team from Spain. It'll make the road game a lot easier and customary. |
