I understand that for KO PO and R16 the seeded teams (the second name in the table, or if you prefer the best placed team) play the 1st leg away.
Do you know if the away-home order is predetermined in QF and SF too? Or it will be decided by a draw?
The table it is not clear.
For QFs and SFs in all three competitions (CL, EL, ECL), "A draw is conducted to determine which team plays the first leg match at home."

Please see the regulations, Article 19.04: https://documents.uefa.com/r/Regulation ... ase-Online

I read that Víkingur Reykjavík will play their home matches at Kópavogsvöllur, instead of their regular stadium, Víkingsvöllur, which did not meet UEFA requirements. Kópavogsvöllur is a multi-use stadium in Kópavogur. It is the home stadium of Breiðablik. I don't know if the decision is final.

About KO, according my simulation Celje have more chance than Mlada to join the KO.
Here below some of the most likely KO matches (and the estimated probability):

Celje - Shamrock Rovers (19.0%)
Vikingur - Shamrock Rovers (13.7%)
Molde - Shamrock Rovers (12.4%)
---------------------------
Hearts - Betis (14.9%)
KB Kobehavn - Betis (12.4%)

The probability of each match is quite low, so everything is still open, altough there is only one MD missing.

above my predictions for KO matches made 1 week ago, after ECL MD5.

after ECL MD6 now they are:

Celje - Shamrock Rovers (19.3%) --> (--)
Vikingur - Shamrock Rovers (13.7%) --> (--)
Molde - Shamrock Rovers (12.4%) --> (50%)
---------------------------
Hearts - Betis (14.9%) --> (--%)
KB Kobenhavn - Betis (12.4%) -->(50%)
at the end one of the matches will be held:
Celje - Shamrock Rovers (19.3%) --> (--)
Vikingur - Shamrock Rovers (13.7%) --> (--)
Molde - Shamrock Rovers (12.4%) --> (50%) --> 100% *****
---------------------------
Hearts - Betis (14.9%) --> (--%)
KB Kobenhavn - Betis (12.4%) -->(50%) --> 0%

I think UEFA will wait untill the matches in the Europa League are known for the same date, so they can seperate clubs from the same country in different kick-off times.

In icehockey in Denmark, the format used to be that the topseeded club could choose its opponent freely, then the 2nd highest seed and so on. I'm guessing it's too anarchic an idea for UEFA to consider, but it could be an interesting format, and largely avoid the idea of teams getting a better way by dropping down the table. It could either be the 9th seed first picking freely from among all the 10-24 sides, or just from the 17th-24 sides.

Also Laugardalsvöllur is under construction, so the match may be played somewhere else.
and Omonia And Pafos drew against each other as they are from same country cyprus

well i guess V Guimaraes got unlucky in round of 16
They will face teams between 15th and 18th position. The draw didn't change anything.
The names that Fiorentina got look easier on theory.

Yes, on theory.
I have the feeling the same may happen in UCL, if ManCity and Real Madrid will finish between 15th and 18th

Google Translate:
...several places are under consideration; Oslo, Helsinki, Sweden and Copenhagen. The stadium in Copenhagen has reached the furthest point in the process, but although nothing is certain until it is 100% certain, it is most likely that we will play in Copenhagen as the situation is now...

Is this the first time a team has had to play a home European match out of its own country for reasons of stadium standards? This is kind of ridiculous, UEFA having their cake and eating it too. They should either relax the stadium criteria or change the rules so the competition doesn't lend itself to qualify very small clubs like Vikingur to the knockout stage unless the stars align.

It's now also on the club's site:
https://vikingur.is/eurovikes-eru-a-leid-til-finnlands/

...Finally, we can confirm that our home game against Panathinaikos in the UEFA Europa League play-offs will take place on Thursday, February 13th at Bolt Arena in Helsinki. The stadium has a capacity of over 10,000 spectators and is expected to accommodate approx. 800 Panathinaikos fans...
