Perfectly fair vs. UEFA's draw mechanism
UEFA's draw mechanism is quite complicated, for a description see Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports (2013), 9(3), 249-270. At first glance, it appears to be fair, however: closer inspection shows that probabilities of UEFA's draw mechanism are slightly different, ranging from 0.018909% (approx. 1/5289) to 0.031101% (approx. 1/3215), corresponding to relative differences from -26.71% to 20.548%.
