It is currently unknown how the teams were drawn into groups. Below, the teams are ranked alphabetically in two pots (teams that were scheduled to play two home or two away matches in the group stage). It is uncertain if those two pots indeed contained the seeded and unseeded teams, or that the home-advantage was randomly drawn.
