Portugal, losing finalists in 2004, will face outsiders Bosnia in their Euro 2012 play-off while Estonia take on the Republic of Ireland following Thursday's draw in Krakow, Poland.
In the other ties, 1996 runners-up the Czech Republic will take on Montenegro and Turkey will meet Croatia.
The first legs will be spread between November 11 and 12 with the returns all on November 15.
The Bosnians will enjoy home advantage for the home leg and then have to negotiate a tough trip to Lisbon to face Cristiano Ronaldo and company as the eastern Europeans attempt to reach the finals for the first time.
Portugal just edged out the same play-off opposition two years ago as they won both games 1-0 to advance to the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa.
Former Polish international Zbigniew Boniek drew the names out of the hat.
The four play-off winners will join the 10 nations who went through automatically from the qualifying groups -- Germany, Russia, Italy, Holland, Sweden (as best runners-up), Greece, England, Denmark, holders Spain and France, as well as Poland and Ukraine who qualify as co-hosts.
The draw for the finals will be held on December 2 in Kiev, with the finals starting on June 8 next year and running to July 1.
The 2012 finals will be the last to comprise 16 teams with the format being extended to 24 for the 2016 edition in France.
Draw:
Turkey v Croatia
Estonia v Republic of Ireland
Czech Republic v Montenegro
Bosnia v Portugal
Note: First-named team at home in first legs on November 11 and 12. Second legs on November 15.
