Notes

  1. ^ Víkingur Reykjavík will play their home matches at Kópavogsvöllur, Kópavogur, instead of their regular stadium, Víkingsvöllur, Reykjavík, which did not meet UEFA requirements.
  1. ^
    Tie reversed after the original draw. Despite having adequate facilities, the city council of the city of Charleroi did not approve and hence the match was played in Bruges.[40]
