The first legs will take place on Feb. 16, with the second legs on Feb. 23.

Manchester United will take on St Etienne in the Europa League's round of 32, while Tottenham Hotspur will face Gent and Villarreal have been drawn against Roma.
United, who finished second in their group behind Fenerbahce, come up against a side sitting eighth in Ligue 1 as they attempt to win the trophy for the first time in their history.
The two sides have met twice before in the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1977, with United emerging victorious over the two legs with a 3-1 win.

Roma, who remained unbeaten throughout the group stage and who currently sit second in Serie A, have been drawn against a Villarreal side that finished second in their pool behind Osmanlispor and who lie sixth in La Liga.
Borussia Monchengladbach, who finished third behind Barcelona and Manchester City in their Champions League group, have been handed a tough test against Serie A club Fiorentina.
Hapoel Be'er Sheva, who qualified at the expense of Southampton and Inter Milan, will play Turkish club Besiktas.

PSG rescues point as Nice go top of Ligue 1


Edinson Cavani's second-half double rescued a 2-2 draw for Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain at home to title rivals Nice.
The visitors were 2-0 up at half-time thanks to a stunning Wylan Cyprien free kick and Alassane Plea's finish just before the break.
PSG roared back, however, with Cavani pulling a goal back within a minute of the re-start before the striker profited on a Yoan Cardinale blunder to smash home the equaliser.
The point was enough to send Nice back to the top of the table, just ahead of Monaco, with PSG four points off the pace in third.
Mathieu Valbuena's first-half strike was enough to see Lyon leapfrog 10-man Rennes into fourth place with a 1-0 win at Parc OL.
Romain Hamouma scored the only goal as St Etienne followed up their midweek Europa League success with a 1-0 home win against Guingamp.
ASSE qualified for the last 32 knockout phase in the Europa League with a 3-2 win at Anderlecht to finish top of Group C on Thursday night and Hamouma's solitary strike clinched them victory over fifth-placed Guingamp.
