Europa Conference League quarter-final draw details as Leicester City look to get past Rennes
Leicester City will discover their next two opponents in the Europa Conference League on Friday if they get past Rennes this week.
City take on the French side in the second leg of their last-16 tie in Brittany on Thursday evening, holding a 2-0 lead from the first leg at the King Power Stadium. If they can make it through, they will be playing in just their second European quarter-final ever.
They won’t have to wait long to find who they will be playing either. The draw for the last eight takes place on Friday, while the semi-finals will also be drawn. Here are all the details you need to know.
The draw will be on Friday, March 18, at around 2pm UK time. It will be conducted at Uefa’s headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, and will be streamed live here.
Not only will the quarter-final ties be drawn, but the semi-finals too. Each quarter-final clash will be numbered one to four and paired with another last-four match-up. Then, a draw will be made to determine which potential semi-finalists will be the ‘home’ side in the final in Albania, which Uefa say they are determining for “administrative reasons”.
Not this time. While the last-16 draw was seeded, any club can face any other this time, including sides from their own country. That’s no problem for City though, as they are the only English team left in it.
Here are the last-16 ties that will be concluded on Thursday, with the teams at home in the second leg listed first.
AZ Alkmaar 1-2 Bodo/Glimt
Rennes 0-2 Leicester City
Copenhagen 4-4 PSV Eindhoven
Basel 1-2 Marseille
