Qualified teams' seedings

[edit | edit source]

Quarter-finalists were paired according to their positions in the groups: the first-placed team in each preliminary-round group played the fourth-place team of the other group, while the second-placed team played the third-place team of the other group.[2] If a matchup would be Denmark versus Sweden, the pairings would have been played in their groups (A1 vs A4 and so on).

Semi-finalists were paired according to their seeding after the preliminary round, which was determined by the following criteria. The best-ranked semi-finalist played against the lowest-ranked semi-finalist, while the second-best ranked semi-finalist played the third-best ranked semi-finalist.[2]
