Europa Conference League: The time of Pavlidis-Hatzidiakos and the dangerous exits of the favorites

The round of 8 of the Europa Conference League includes four interesting pairings, with the favourites, West Ham and Fiorentinahave difficult away matches, against Ghent and Lech Poznan respectively, and the Alkmaar of Pavlidis-Hatzidiakou to face Anderlecht in Brussels.

The Dutch team, which in the previous round eliminated them Lazio, he wants to go one step further this season and go as high as possible in the competition, with the Greek striker being “hot”. On the contrary, the Belgians want a European distinction, after several years, and this year they have a huge opportunity to achieve it.

THE West Ham they are in 14th place in the English league, having a very poor season, as they are only +3 from the relegation zone and Nottingham Forest. Thus, by conquering the institution not only will save the year, but they will secure their participation in the next Europa League. On the other hand, Ghent is at “4” in the ranking of the Belgian league and has a remarkable and very dangerous roster, which can do the… damage to any opponent.

Things won’t be easy for her either Fiorentina, which is hosted by Lech Poznan. The Poles are in 3rd place in their country’s league, while in the playoffs they threw out the excellent Bodo/Glimt, which in the last two seasons has impressed with its European presence.

Finally, the Reign welcomes Nice, in a very interesting pairing and perhaps the most ambiguous, together with Anderlecht-Alkmaar. Great qualifiers against Trabzonspor and Slovan for the Swiss, who return to the limelight after nearly a decade. The team of Nice had an easier task, which easily passed to the “8”, with a total score of 4-1 against Serif.
