AEK: The Delivery of Hapoel Ber Seva and Lefsky Sofia with Greek teams

From Bulgaria or Israel, AEK will need to pass to get the ticket for its third qualifying round Conference League. By the draw made to the Nyon of Switzerland, it has emerged that the Union would face one of Lefski Sofia or Hapoel Ber Seva.

Both will not face a Greek team for the first time, as they have previously been competing in European events with one of our representatives.

Lefski Sofia VS Greeks: 4 wins, 1 draw, 4 defeats

Initially the most experienced Lefsky has faced four Greek teams. Of the 10 games he has given the five are against Olympiacos. Initially 1963 Sofia’s team lost 1-0 to Piraeus for the Balkan Cup and then beat him 1-0 in the rematch. In the third match, Olympiacos was again the winner after dominating the same score. It took 15 years to face Lefsky again by the “reds”. Specifically the season 1978-79 For the 1st Phase of the UEFA Cup with the first match ending at 2-1 for Olympiacoswhile in the extension the Bulgarians qualified 3-1 in the rematch.

The first Greek team to face the Lefsky was AEK in 1961. The Union played against the Bulgarian team for the Balkan Cup and beat it 3-1.

We go to 1987 when the OFI He faced the neighboring country team in 1987 for the Cup. The Cretans in the first match had lost 1-0 to Bulgaria, but in the rematch they won 3-1 in Heraklion and qualified.

The only group “hurt” by Lefsky was the PAOK And very recently. Dikefalos faced her in the 2022/23 season as part of the second qualifying round of the Conference League, but the development was tragic. In Bulgaria, he lost 2-0, while a 1-1 draw in Toumpa left Lutsescu’s team outside Europe.

Hapoel Ber Seva VS of Hellenic: 1 win, 1 draw, 2 defeats

Much “poorer” is Hapoel Ber Seva’s history with the Greek teams, since the Israeli team has only played with Olympic and Mars and even in the recent past.

Olympiacos who has … traumatic experience. The ‘red and white’ of the season 2016/17 They were drawn with Hapoel for the Champions League qualifiers, but in “George Karaiskakis” they failed to get a positive result by staying 0-0.

In the rematch, the Piraeus team suffered a shocking 1-0 defeat with a goal by Jeldk and continued in the Europa League.
