2008–09 UEFA Cup group stage
The group stage of the 2008–09 UEFA Cup is the second stage of the competition proper.[1] The draw took place on 7 October 2008 at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.[2] Group stage matches began on 23 October 2008 and concluded on 18 December 2008.[3] The top three teams in each group progressed to the Round of 32, to be joined by the eight third-place finishers from the Champions League group stage.[4]
Seedings
The following teams qualified for the group stage:[5]
Pot 1 contained teams ranked between 2 and 39: Pot 2 held teams ranked 40 to 71, Pot 3 held teams ranked 72 to 88, and Pot 4 teams ranked 91 to 122 together with unranked teams from England and Spain.[6] Pot 5 held the remaining teams. Dinamo Zagreb, and all the Pot 5 teams, had beaten higher-ranked teams in the first round. Lech Poznań and Žilina had also beaten higher-ranked teams in the Second Qualifying Round. Seven of the eight teams in Pot 5 qualified for the Round of 32, Žilina being the only exception. In contrast, only five of the eight teams in Pot 1 managed to do the same, as Sevilla, Benfica and Schalke 04 were eliminated.
