• How the Draw Works ?

Two seeding pots are formed, first is with 8 group winners and the second one with 8 runnerups. Before the draw is made UEFA ensure that teams won’t be drawn against teams from the same group or same country. So the group winners will play their first leg away and second leg at home.
