Olympic and PAOK today they throw themselves into the battle of qualification, facing Fenerbahce and Club Brugge respectively for the first matches of the quarter-finals of the Europa Conference League.
The Euro Club Index, which deals with European competitions, has published the list of each team’s chances of qualifying in each pair. And the estimates of the website are not particularly encouraging for the two Greek clubs, since the odds show that it is not with them.
First, to his pair Olympiakou with Fenerbahçe, the “red and white” have a 32.5% chance of qualificationwith the percentage of Turks reaching 67.5%.
At the same time in his PAOK with Club Brugge, the “black and white” have a higher percentage than Olympiakos, but are again placed at a disadvantage. Because they are given a percentage of chances to qualify the 45%while the Belgians have 55%.
Of course, one will remember that after the heavy home defeat by Maccabi Tel Aviv with 4-1 in the first match, Olympiacos had a 2% chance of qualifying, but all that came… a tumble after the emphatic 6-1 in the second leg that gave the ticket in Jose Luis Mendiliber’s team, while PAOK had also managed to pull off the upset against Dinamo Zagreb, putting to the canvas those who were talking about minimal chances as well.
