Silkeborg will face KA Akureyri from Iceland while Brondby will meet HB Tórshavn from the Faroe Islands in the second qualifying round for the Conference League.

Brondby should have a great chance of reaching the next round, when the team from the western part of Copenhagen enters the second round of the qualification for the Conference League.

Wednesday's draw in Nyon, Switzerland paired seeded Brondby with HB Torshavn from the Faroe Islands.

Also Silkeborg, who were also seeded, have good opportunities to advance, as the team will face Icelandic KA Akureyri in the second round.

The matches in the second qualifying round will be played as a starting point on 24 and 31 July.

In order to reach the main tournament in the Conference League, the Danish teams must successfully go through a total of three qualification rounds.

Brøndby qualified for Europe via their third place in the Superliga, while Silkeborg, after finishing in seventh place, won the European playoff match against the league's top four, Randers.
