Something that gathered zero chances of happening on March 7, when the “red and white” as well as the PAOK they were defeated by Maccabi Tel Aviv and Dinamo Zagreb respectively…
Specifically, our country was then 17th and according to Opta Analyst, it had a 99.3% chance of finishing there.
For 15th place, the number fell to incredibly small 0.1%with Greece managing to achieve an unimaginable turnaround!
Starting with the rematches of the “16” phase of the Conference, the “red and white” scored five wins and one losswith the Bicephalus of the North also putting in his little stone with 1-0-2.
Somehow, our country climbed to the top 15 at the last moment and next year the league will give five tickets for three European events.
