The Europa Conference League knockout round draw is nearly here, as the final group stage games determine who will progress to the latter stages of the tournament.
Eight sides have all booked their places in the draw already, but where they finish in the group could have a huge bearing on which draw they’ll enter into.
This is because teams who finish top of their groups will progress automatically to the last-16, while those who come in second place will face a play-off against one of the eight sides that finished third in the Europa League group stages.
Two legs will be played to determine a winner, before the last-16 of the Europa Conference League is confirmed. The eight Europa Conference League groups winners will all be seeded for this draw, with the eight play-off winners unseeded.
The only restriction for each draw involves national association – two teams from the same country cannot be drawn against each other at this stage.
