Second qualifying round

[edit]

Seeding

[edit]

The draw for the second qualifying round was held on 22 June 2009, immediately after the first qualifying round draw. Clubs were separated into seeded and unseeded teams based on their club coefficient. Teams with a coefficient of at least 1.958 were seeded, except Lahti, the lowest ranked of the teams from Finland. As the draw for the second qualifying round took place before the first qualifying round was completed, the teams were seeded assuming the seeded side in the previous round would be victorious.[3]
