The winners of the eight play-off ties advance to the Europa League round of 16. Here are the key details.

    UEL toppers in the round of 16

    The eight teams who have directly qualified for the round of 16 in the Europa League are West Ham United, Lyon, Monaco, Spartak Moscow, Frankfurt, Galatasaray, Bayer Leverkusen, and FK Crvena zvezda.

    Key factors to keep in mind

    The Europa League knockout playoff stage will see matches being held over two legs. The seeded teams will be playing away in the first leg. Teams from the same national association cannot be drawn against each other. Matches level after 180 minutes will go to extra time. If the teams still cannot be separated after extra time, then there will be a penalty shoot-out.

    Presenting the key dates

    The Europa League knockout playoff stage first leg matches are scheduled for February 17, with the second leg games a week later. The UEL knockout round playoff draw will take place at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, on Monday December 13.
