The Olympiacos overcame the obstacle of Ferentsvaros and ceremoniously qualified for the “16” of the Europa Conference League. PAOK is already waiting there, of course, so Greece will have it two groups in the third regular UEFA competition! “Red and white” and “black and white”, therefore, will be in draw of Nyon, which will take place at noon on Friday (23/02), at 2 in the afternoon (News Bulletin 247/sport-fm.gr/COSMOTE SPORT 1 HD).
Piraeus, along with the other seven teams that qualified from the Conference playoffs, will be placed in the group of powerless. Instead, the “double-header of the North” and the other eight group winners, will enter the group of strong. It should be noted that in the round of 16 teams from the same country cannot be drawn against each other and therefore Olympiacos cannot be drawn with PAOK. “Civil wars” are allowed from the quarter finals onwards. Therefore, Olympiacos will be drawn with a strong team except PAOK and its team Razvan Lucescu with a powerless but his team Jose Luis Mendiliber.
Capacity groups
Strong: Lille, Maccabi Tel Aviv, Plzen, Brugge, Aston Villa, Fiorentina, PAOK, Fenerbahce
Powerless: Maccabi Haifa, Servette, Dinamo Zagreb, Ajax, Sturm Graz, Union Saint Gilois, Molde, Olympiacos
Now, as far as ’16’ games go, these will happen March 7 and 14. Data Olympiacos, as powerless, will play the first match at home and the rematch at the headquarters of his opponent, while the reverse applies to PAOKi.e. the first match will take place away from home and the second in Toumba.
