Europa League draw: Which opponents will the German teams get?

The games of the next round of the Europa League will be drawn on Friday at 1 p.m. at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. After the round of the last 32 teams in which two German teams prevailed on Thursday, the round of 16 is now approaching . A total of 16 teams are still in the race.

Curiously, there are currently 17 teams in the competition. Eintracht Frankfurt and Salzburg have yet to determine the last round of 16. Due to hurricane gusts, the second leg in Austria had to be canceled on Thursday. The new date is Friday, 6 p.m. So the draw goes over the stage before all games are played. We show you where you can watch the Europa League draw live on TV and in the live stream.

The new date, meanwhile, did not cause enthusiasm for everyone, but was ultimately borne by those responsible: "It is the best of the worst solutions," said Eintracht board member Axel Hellmann after a crisis meeting in Salzburg to relocate the European Cup match.

A safe arrival and departure of the spectators could not have been guaranteed. “The health of the spectators and the players always comes first. This is force majeure, even if it means more effort for our planning and that of the fans, ”said Eintracht sports director Fredi Bobic.

In contrast to the sixteenth final, everyone can now meet everyone . This means that duels from two clubs from the same country are also possible. Predictions are difficult to make, especially in the Europa League , and there are always surprises. The traditionally strong Spanish teams have now shrunk to two participants, but there are still record winners FC Sevilla (five titles) in the competition. The Andalusians had to tremble quite a bit in the second leg against Cluj. Shortly before the end of the game, a hit by the Romanians was canceled after video evidence (correctly).

The British clubs also have a good chance of succeeding defending champions Chelsea London : Manchester United and Wolverhampton Wanderers are two Premier League teams. In addition to last year's semi-finalist Eintracht Frankfurt, Inter Milan and AS Roma from Italy are also contenders for the title.

The current round already caused a few surprises. Braga, AZ Alkmaar, Sporting Lisbon and above all Ajax Amsterdam, last season in the Champions League semifinals, and last year's finalist Arsenal London said goodbye to the competition. The Dutch failed at Getafe, the surprise fifth of the Spanish La Liga, while the Gunners sailed against Olympiacos Piraeus.

Since the sixteenth final, video evidence has also been part of the Europa League regulations. The VAR already caused a stir in the first leg between Bayer Leverkusen and FC Porto.
