But look at this draw conditions:

The draw respects the following principles: * Clubs from the same association must not be drawn against each other. * The winners and runners-up of the same group must not be drawn against each other. * Group winners must not be drawn against each other. * Group runners-up must not be drawn against each other. * All group runners-up will play their first-leg matches at home.

So can not play against each other the same nations, the same groupstage participiants. 1st in the groups against the 2nd teams in the groups. Home court advantage at group winners, the rematch will take place at their stadiums.
