"The four teams that Bayern could face include Bundesliga foes Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen, Greece's Olympiacos, and Italy's Atalanta. Atalanta (15th place) and Leverkusen (16th place) are the seeded teams and will host the second leg of the playoff rounds. Dortmund (17th place) and Olympiacos (18th place) are the unseeded teams, hosting the first leg. The playoff matchups will be determined by a draw on Friday to see which seeded and unseeded team will meet."
"Olympiacos is Bayern's most often faced team in the Champions League of the four possible opponents. They have matched up five times, including a two-legged tie in the first round of the 1980/81 European Cup. The rest were in the group stage. Bayern have outscored them 19-4 in all matches. Bayern have had two ties against Dortmund - the 1978/78 quarterfinal and the famous 2012/13 final. Last season's quarterfinal was the first and only Champions League matchup between Bayern and Leverkusen."
Bayern Munich finished second on the eighth and final matchday of the Champions League League Phase and earned a bye directly into the Round of 16. The four possible opponents are Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, Olympiacos, and Atalanta. Atalanta and Leverkusen are seeded and will host the second leg of playoff ties, while Dortmund and Olympiacos are unseeded and will host the first leg. A draw on Friday will determine the playoff matchups, and a subsequent draw after the playoff round will place winners on opposite sides of the bracket to decide who faces Bayern and who faces Arsenal.
