THE PAOK will enjoy the final day of the Europa Conference League groups without stress as one of only two teams to have secured first place and direct presence in the last 16 of the competition.
The Thessaloniki team, as well as Viktoria Plzen, will be in the draw of the “16” on 2/23/24, while there are five vacant knockout spots left in this final matchday. There are, however, several outstanding issues that will be finally clarified today.
It is reminded that the runners-up of the groups will play an extra round, against the teams that will be transferred as third-placed in the Europa League groups. In other words, it is very possible that AEK, Panathinaikos and Olympiacos will be in the competition.
