According to UEFA’s website, the tournament follows a bracket format starting from the knockout phase play-offs.

Teams are matched against predetermined opponents based on their league standings: those finishing fifth and sixth will take on the teams ending in 11th or 12th place, while the seventh and eighth place finishers are paired with the ninth and tenth place teams.

Since United has secured the sixth position, our possible opponents are Atletico Madrid and OH Leuven.

As we are seeded, the first match will take place away from home, followed by the second match at the Progress with Unity Stadium.
