The highest-ranked side Lazio could face are Valencia, ranked 13th, though La Liga kicks off on August 22, like Serie A.
With the first leg of the play-offs scheduled for 18 and 19 August, that would mean neither side had played a League game by that point.
In contrast, Manchester United, ranked 20th, would already have two Premier League matches under their belts before facing the Aquile, should they be drawn together.
