In both draws, balls containing the seeded clubs were placed in one bowl, with balls of the unseeded clubs placed in another. A ball was taken from each bowl and placed in a large empty bowl in the middle, where they were shuffled. The first team drawn plays its first match at home, against the second team drawn.
