Her journey back to his golden groups Champions League after 2018 actually starts on Monday (24/7) for AEK, with the Greek doubles learning their opponent for the 3rd qualifying round of the top intercollegiate event.
The draw will take place on 13:00 (Greece time) in Nyon, Switzerland. Currently the potential opponent of the “Union” will arise from six pairs (the respective winner of each pairing) of the second qualifier on the path of champions. However, a few hours ago (10:00) will be informed the subgroup of its draw, in which three of these couples will participate.
In detail, the pairs from which AEK’s opponent will emerge:
* Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia) – Astana (Kazakhstan)
* Breidablik (Iceland) – Copenhagen (Denmark)
* Zalgiris (Lithuania) – Galatasaray (Turkey)
* Rakov (Poland) – Karabagh (Azerbaijan)
* Zrinski (Bosnia) – Slovan Bratislava (Slovakia)
* Helsinki (Finland) – Molde (Norway)
As it seems, the -theoretically- most difficult possible opponent for AEK is Galatasaraiwith the Turkish champion having a brilliant roster.
Of course, at this point it should be noted that the “yellow and black” can benefit from their encounter with a stronger (based on score) team, such as Milk, Copenhagen and Karabagh. And this is because in the event of their qualification they will have taken him coefficient of the draw that will mediate the Playoffs of the event.
Of course, in any case, doubles have guaranteed their presence in a group of European organization -thus returning to them after 2020- as in the inevitable scenario of two eliminations (in the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League and in the Playoffs of the Europa League) it will participate in the Conference League. In fact, one hour later (14:00) AEK will also know a possible opponent for the Europa League Playoffs.
It is reminded that the first match of AEK in the 3rd qualifier will be held either on 8 either on August 9with the rematch scheduled for 15 of the month.
