by

The latest news of Olympiakou carried by Kostas Nikolakopoulos to News Bulletin 247.

First, our reporter mentioned a post by UEFA on social media, according to which the “red and whites” are currently the most in-form team in the Conference League, with only league and European wins in their last five games.

Then, he spoke about another aspect of Piraeus’ effort to do something even better in Europe this year, making the observation that so far in the three years of the Conference League, UEFA seems to “prefer” to reach high in the competition teams that have starting from it and not coming from the Europa League (like Olympiacos now).

He reminded that both finals were attended by teams that were in the Conference League groups from the start and that only teams from major European leagues (Leicester and Marseille plus Eindhoven) have qualified for the quarter-finals and only the top two have reached the semi-finals, always from teams that moved into the competition from the Europa League.

Finally, he commented that Maccabi, based on the analyzes done on Rendis, is a more dangerous team than Ferentsvaros.
