Europa League
Qualification time for AEK, Olympiakos and Panathinaikos: This is how it goes in the Conference League
On Thursday evening (December 14th) AEK, Olympiacos and Panathinaikos will play for their future in European competitions. How do you want to qualify for the playoffs for the round of 16 of the Europa Conference League?
Our representatives will play four games in the European competitions on Thursday evening (December 14th), with PAOK being the only ones indifferent as they have already secured qualification for the “16” of the Conference League.
AEK, Olympiacos and Panathinaikos face Ajax, Batska Topola and Maccabi Haifa respectively and their European futures will depend on these games.
This is how Olympiacos qualifies
We start with Olympiakos hosting Batska Topola behind closed doors at “Georgios Karaiskakis”. The Serbs are an important obstacle and will give everything for everything at the Faleri Stadium as they have the same goal as Piraeus.
The facts are simple and the scenarios are three. If they win or draw, Olympiacos will finish third, but if they lose, Olympiacos will finish third Batska Topola overtakes him in the overall standings, so she receives the “ticket” for the continuation and Olympiacos is eliminated as fourth in the group.

This is how AEK qualifies
AEK, on the other hand, will be tested away against Ajax with significant losses. “Aiantas” has shown signs of improvement after the coaching change and an open game is expected.
Here too, the facts of the game are clear. On the last matchday in the “Johan Cruyff Arena”, AEK will take 3rd place with a draw or a win against “Aianta”. However, if they lose, Ajax will overtake them in the standings for the first time, leaving them permanently in 4th place and out of Europe.
