Newcastle United will play Qarabag as the one team of the six to require action in the playoff round, and if they win they could draw a fellow Premier League side in the Round of 16.

The draw included two surprise entrants thanks to a wild 90 minutes on the final day.
Two red cards and six goals including a stoppage-time goalkeeper goal dropped Real Madrid into ninth place and out of a Round of 16 bye and pushed Benfica into the 24th and final playoff spot in rain-soaked, Lisbon-based thriller on Wednesday, January 28.
