Champions League Draw - 29th August '24 | Opponents (pg69) | Fixtures (pg128)

Ah so that would line up with the image I posted.

So 1st has a better chance than 2nd at an easier draw because of the groupings but not necessarily a better chance than 3rd or 5th etc...interesting.
No, 1st and 2nd have an equal chance of an easier draw, and both have a better chance of an easier draw than the lower placed teams - but only if there are now upsets in the play-off round.

Yes it follows this process:
The playoff phase is played between the 9th and 24th placed teams so 9th plays 24th not 16th.

I've had it clarified by Dale Johnson from ESPN.

The groupings for potential last 16 opponents are:
- 1st, 2nd, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th are grouped together for the knockout phase. 2 of 15-18 will of course go out in the playoff round (this applies for the next 3 bullet points).
- 3rd, 4th, 13th, 14th, 19th, 20th are grouped together.
- 5th, 6th, 11th, 12th, 21st, 22nd.
- 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 23rd, 24th.

1st and 2nd will be on the opposite side of the bracket.

Thank you x As I rightly predicted on Thursday - shytee. You can guarantee Juve and PSG away will be games 5 and 8 for starters, with Inter (h) on game week 4 or 6. Put a bet on it....
