Dem der sluttede som nr. 9-16 bliver seedet i lodtrækningen, hvor de skal trække holdene mellem 17-24. Så de bliver ikke automatisk parret som nr. 9 med 24 osv. Dette er klippet fra UEFA’s hjemmeside:
“ In the knockout phase, the teams that finish between 9th and 16th will be seeded in the knockout phase play-off draw, meaning they will face a team placed 17th to 24th – with, in principle, the return leg at home. The eight clubs which prevail in the knockout phase play-offs will then progress to the round of 16, where they will each face one of the top-eight finishers, who will be seeded in the round of 16.”
