The Champions League play-off round will see Galatasaray travel to Switzerland for a place in the main league phase, whilst Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce could head to the Czech capital to face Slavia Prague if both sides progress through the third qualifying round.

The draw took place at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland with 10 ties being drawn in the champions path as four ties were drawn in the league path.

With ties still to played in the third qualifying round, there is still a lot of football to be played before there is a final list of fixtures in the play-off round.

Only one confirmed fixture was drawn with Young Boys of Switzerland taking on Turkish champions Galatasaray over two legs at the backend of the month.

The Swiss side are also last season's league champions, but they have started the new season badly, winless in four games and bottom of the Super League.

Elsewhere, Dinamo Zagreb could face Qarabag or Ludogorets, whilst Red Star Belgrade face the tricky prospect of Bodo/Glimt or Polish champions Jagiellonia.
