Euro16

Further to the group stages, ie Rounds of 16 M3, M4, M5, M6 the "away" teams are given the codes of it seems to me , 3 options - M3 is 3BEF etc. Does this mean that the "Home" team plays the highest placed of the 3 teams from Group BEF? or something else?
Could someone please explain the situation?

I am interested to know asap as I am taking part in works Prediction Game

Many thanks

Look at section 17.03 to see which of the four best third placed teams will be played.

Thanks, You'd think it could be made simpler than this.

I totally agree. Makes guessing forthcoming fixtures practically Impossible.

The Prediction Game I am taking part in gives the following points:-
Stage matches : 10 pts per correct prediction (Home, Draw or away)
Group Standings : 10 pts per correct placing + 10 bonus pts if whole group correct
Semi Finalists : 15 pts per correct semi finalist
Finalists : 20 pts per correct finalist
Champions : 30 pts
Top Goal Scorer : 20 pts
No. of Penalty Shootouts : 20pts
No. of Red cards: 20pts

So, luckily the third places don't matter for points allocation. I just worked back my selections from the winner- hopefully will do well!
