LONDON, July 14 (Reuters) - European stocks were seen opening steady on Tuesday, pausing after a strong four day rally, with investors unsure whether Greece would be able to get the support of its parliament behind a bailout deal designed to avert bankruptcy.

Just hours after agreeing to an austerity package in return for agreeing to talks on an 86 billion euro bailout, doubts were already emerging about whether Tsipras would be able to hold his government together.

The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index .FTEU3 rose 1.9 percent to 1,572.05 points on Monday as markets welcomed the initial deal, rising for a fourth straight session. The euro zone's Euro STOXX 50 index .STOXX50E hit a two-week high on Monday and has gained about 9 percent since last Tuesday's close.

On Tuesday, futures for the Euro STOXX 50 STXEc1 , Germany's DAX FDXc1 , France's CAAC FCEc1 and Britain's FTSE FFIc1 were flat to 0.3 percent higher ahead of the cash market open.
