With the completion of the phase of his groups Champions League, the possible opponents of Olympiacos in play-offs of the Europa League to qualify for the “16”, if he finishes, in the 2nd place and not in the 1st! With a pending issue, however, since Atalanta-Villarreal was postponed, who will decide which of the two will follow Manchester United in the “16” phase of the… stars and which will go to play-offs of Europa.
The “red and whites”, therefore, who, we remind, are hosted in Antwerp from Antwerp and have ensure the second place – so they continue for sure in Europa- with their own victory and defeat of Eintracht Frankfurt in Istanbul by Fenerbahce they finish in first place and “Lock” their presence in the “16” of the event without a draw!
Nevertheless, the more realistic scenario is for Olympiacos to come out second and play against a team that “coming down” from his third place Champions League in the second-ranked European tournament, against the background of qualifying for the “16”.
The possible opponents, therefore, of Piraeus are the following:
Leipzig
Porto
Dortmund
Sheriff
Zenith
Barcelona
Seville
Atalanta or Villarreal
We see that there are teams that, in theory, are in line with Olympiacos, but also real beasts, for any Europa League team!
In any case, let’s wait to see on Thursday in which position the Greek champion will finish…
THE draw, note, will be held next Monday at 2 p.m. The first games of play-offs are scheduled for February 17 and repeaters a week later, on the 24th of the same month.
The eight teams that will finish in second place in their group in the Europa League, are considered “strong” in the play-offs, therefore will give the rematch matches at their headquarters. The eight, however, that will move to the “16”, will be “weak” and “strong” will be the eight, which will finish in the first place of the Europa groups.
