Panathinaikos: With two draws in mind

The moment the Panathinaikos is preparing for the challenge of the two big showdowns with Ajax in the 3rd qualifying round of the Europa League, today he will find out the… next stage for him in Europe, as he will enter two draws: the one for the Europa League playoffs at 14:00 to find out his opponent if he eliminates the Dutch and at 15:00 for the playoffs of the Conference League if it is eliminated by “Aiantas”.

In the first time draw he will enter as strong, as he gets his coefficient Ajax. This is how he will find on his way, if he excludes their Ajax:

Trabzonspor (Turkey) – Rapid Vienna (Austria)

Rijeka (Croatia) – Elfsborg (Sweden)

Besiktas (Turkey)

Sparta Prague (Czech Republic) – Steaua (Romania)*

Klaksvik (Faroe Islands) – Borac Banja Luka (Bosnia)

Celje (Slovenia) – Shamrock Rovers (Ireland)

Dinamo Minsk (Belarus) – Lincoln Red Ibbs (Gibraltar)

Petrocube (Moldova) – The New Saints (Wales)

Santa Coloma (Andorra) – Riga (Latvia)

Herts (Scotland)

Backa Topola (Serbia)

Jagiellonia (Poland) – Bodo Glimt (Norway) *

*The teams that will be eliminated from the Champions League.

On the contrary, Panathinaikos will enter the draw for the Conference League playoffs as powerless at 15:00. It has 18 potential opponents, from which the pair of AEK and Noa is excluded due to the presence of another Greek team. A few hours before the draw the “greens” will be placed in sub-groups with 4 or 5 possible opponents.

To his powerful Conference League the five teams from the Top 5 of the ranking countries of Europe, i.e. Chelsea, Fiorentina, Betis, Heidenheim and Lance, enter the playoffs and therefore the candidate opponents of Panathinaikos.

From there on, there will also be the pairings of the third qualifier of the Conference League:

Copenhagen (Denmark)-Banik Ostrava (Czech Republic)

Silkeborg Denmark) – Ghent (Belgium)

Imperia (Georgia) – Basaksehir (Turkey)

Maccabi Petah Tikva (Israel) – Cluj (Romania)

Olympia Ljubljana (Slovenia) – Sherif Tiraspol (Moldova)

Brodby (Denmark)-Legia (Poland)

Hapoel Ber Sheva (Israel)-Boleslav (Czech Republic)

Ilves Tampere (Finland) – Djurgarden (Sweden)

Omonia (Cyprus) – Fehervar (Hungary)

Guimaraes (Portugal) – Zurich (Switzerland)

Kornibul (Romania) – Astana (Kazakhstan)

Plus any team eliminated in the third qualifying round of the Europa League by Trabzonspor – Rapid Vienna and Molde – Circle Brugge.
