AEK is strong in the 2nd and 3rd qualifying rounds of the Conference League

The data her AEK regarding the team’s participation in the Conference League qualifiers, he analyzed Andreas Dimatoswith a post he made on Facebook.

In particular, UEFA’s media consultant states that “Union” will be among the strong in the qualifiers of the third-tier European competition and it will take five eliminations (from 16 teams) for the same to apply in the playoffs.

It also mentions the opponents that “Two-Headed” will face in the second and third qualifying roundswith the names not frightening, but Matias Almeida’s team must do its duty.

AEK will be definitively strong in the second and third qualifiers of the Conference League in the summer and marginally weak – with the current data – in the playoffs of the competition, finally participating with the 22nd best coefficient.

To… catch the power group in the playoffs will require five second qualifying round powerhouse eliminations among 16 teams: Copenhagen, Basaksehir, Cluj, Legia, Maccabi Haifa, Hapoel Be’er Sheva, Djurgardens, Genk or Ghent (the latter pending for the Conference puzzle), Go Akhed Eagles, Omonia, Zalgiris Vilnius, Guimaraes, Astana, Riga, Olympia Ljubljana and Dnipro.

The most famous names among its 43 potential opponents in the second qualifying round are: Sarajevo (Bosnia), Bran and Tromsø (Norway), Hacken (Sweden), Levadia Tallinn (Estonia), Radniski (Serbia), Slask Wroclaw (Poland), Elfsborg (Sweden), Botev (Bulgaria)…

In the third qualifier (26 potential opponents) the well-known names of potential opponents are added: Austria Vienna (Austria), Fehervar (Hungary), Banik Ostrava and Boleslav (Czech Republic), Craiova (Romania), Brodby (Denmark), Zurich and St. Gallen ( Switzerland), Silkeborg (Denmark), Vojvodina (Serbia), Krakow Vistula (Poland), Paphos (Cyprus). Among its opponents will be the pair of Panathinaikos from the second qualifying round of Europa, but they will… be excluded from the road of AEK.

With the current data and if AEK remains in the non-seeded teams of the playoffs, its 19 potential opponents will be: Chelsea (England), Copenhagen (Denmark), Fiorentina (Italy), Betis (Spain), Basaksehir (Turkey), Cluj (Romania), Legia (Poland), Maccabi Haifa (Israel), Heidenheim (Germany), Hapoel Beer Sheva (Israel), Djurgardens (Sweden), Genk or Ghent (Belgium), Lens (France), Go Ahed Eagles (Netherlands) ), Omonia (Cyprus), Zalgiris Vilnius (Lithuania), Guimaraes (Portugal) and the pairs of Rijeka and Trabzonspor from the third qualifying round of Europa

Logic says that in all three Conference draws, subgroups of strong and weak will be formed, so the number of potential opponents will be quite limited.

AEK will know its first opponent on June 19 and it may be a pair of opponents from the first qualifier. She will normally also participate in the draw for the third qualifier on July 22 as a pair with her opponent in the second qualifier, since the matches will not have taken place until then

If he qualifies from the second qualifying round he will also participate in the draw for the playoffs on August 5

Six… Thursdays in a row during the summer will judge her participation in the new League Stage of the Conference League: July 25/August 1, August 8 and 15 and August 22/29.
