Draw procedure

Groups 1–4

  • The clubs are ranked according to their coefficient (teams from ties yet to be played will take the coefficient of the seeded team in each) and further split into seeding groups.
  • Each side in each seeding group is allocated a number. Balls containing the seeded teams’ numbers are placed in one bowl, with balls for the unseeded teams’ numbers (within the same sub-group of clubs) in another.
  • A ball is taken from each bowl and put into a large empty bowl in the middle, where they are shuffled.
  • The clubs in all four groups whose numbers correspond to the first ball drawn play their first game at home, against the sides in all four groups whose numbers match the next ball drawn.
