Seeded teams play away first....

If we are unseeded ..and we make it ...first leg will be at home....

That is not true

From article 15.1 in the UEFA 2016 regulations.

"The four ties are determined by draw, including the order of the two legs of each tie."

2 ? I would have thought just the 1.

What's the friendly list looking like at present ? Only heard Spain v England in Alicante Nov 13th.

Plenty fixtures on FIFA.com with some assuming they will qualify or miss out on the play offs.

One home and one away is what I expect (last time we missed out on the play offs we played USA at home and Norway away).

am i being dense here? Probably

but this is taken from Uefa

"The eight remaining third-placed teams will contest play-offs over two legs to determine the last four qualifiers for the finals in France.

Those eight teams will be divided into two groups of seeded and non-seeded teams, based on the UEFA national team coefficient rankings. Each fixture will see a seeded team play against a non-seeded team, with the first team drawn to play the first leg at home."

If they are seperated due to seeding and the first team drawn will always play at home ...wont they know if its unseeded or seeded thats playing at home every time as they will have to pick from seperate pots ...

They will probably pick a ball first from the seeded bowl and second from the unseeded for the first tie and then do it the reverse for the second tie. So the end outcome will be 2 seeded teams and 2 unseeded teams will play at home first.
