European draw day for Olympiakos, Panathinaikos and Aris: they get to know their next opponents

Three teams will take part in the draw in Nyon on Tuesday (1 August) and get to know opponents for the Europa League and Europa Conference League playoffs.

Olympiacos will kick things off (2:00 p.m., LIVE Sportish), taking part in two draws on Tuesday. First, he will take part in the Europa League playoff draw, where he will find himself if he gets past Slovan Bratislava, while he will also find an opponent for the Conference League in case he is eliminated by the Slovaks. Let’s see in detail.

Olympiacos’ potential opponents in the Europa League

On Monday (1 August), UEFA made changes to the Europa League play-off draw. In particular, there is no restriction on playing against teams from the same country and the only restriction that exists due to a tense political atmosphere is for teams from Azerbaijan and Armenia.

The “Red-Whites” find against them a team from the first priority group, these are:

• Gent (Belgium)
• Austria (Austria)
• hearts (Scotland)
• Sivasspor (Turkey)
• Dnipro (Ukraine)
• Silkeborg (Denmark)

Your potential opponent can come from the second priority group, the teams eliminated in the 3rd round of Champions League qualification and will be the losers of the following couples.

Of course, the question here is whether Olympiacos or any other team from the pre-stage team can get in the way. For example, if the “red and white” can be redrawn with Maccabi Haifa based on the current data.

This of course seems a bit strange and maybe at the last moment – just before the draw – UEFA will impose some restrictions on the pairings. Anyway, based on today’s data, Olympiacos may fall with the pairs losers:

• Maccabi Haifa (Israel) or Apollo Limassol (Cyprus)
• Karabakh (Azerbaijan) or Ferentsvaros (Hungary)
• Ludogorets (Bulgaria) or Dynamo Zagreb (Croatian)
• sheriff (Moldova) or Pilsen (Czech Republic)
• Bodo shine (Norway) or Salgiris Vilnius (Lithuania)
• Red Star (Serbia) or Punic (Armenia)

Possible opponents in the Conference League

Of course, Olympiacos take part in the Europa Conference League draw an hour later so they know their opponent in case they fail to overtake Slovan Bratislava.

The contenders for the Conference League Playoffs have been known since last week and will come from the following pairings. Always in case Olympiacos is eliminated from the Europa League, of course.

• viking (Iceland) – Leh (Poland)
• Riga (Latvia) – hibernian (Malta)
• Balkans (Kosovo) – Claxwick (Faroe Islands)
• Zrinsky (Bosnia) – tom ball (Kazakhstan)
• Shakhtar (Belarus) – Cluj-Napoca (Romania)

Expected opponents of Panathinaikos – Aris in the Conference League

On Monday (1/8) Panathinaikos and Aris were divided into “sub-groups” and got to know their potential opponents with a view to Tuesday’s Conference League playoff draw.

It should be remembered that both Greek teams are among the strongest in this process, having inherited the coefficients of their two opponents (Slavia Prague and Maccabi Tel Aviv respectively).

The Greens’ potential opponents include Yiannis Papanikolaou’s Rakov and Stratos Svarnas, while Lefski Sofias, who missed PAOK in the second qualifying round of the competition, could be on the way.

On the other hand, Aris fell to more difficult teams as they didn’t avoid Nis, but so did Vitoria Guimaraes (a pair with Marko Livaya’s Hajduk) and Konyaspor.

The opponents of Panathinaikos

• Rakov (Poland) / Spartak Trnava (Slovakia)
• MOL Fehervar (Hungary) / Petrocube (Moldova)
• Levski (Bulgaria) / Hamrun (Malta)
• Lugano (Switzerland) / Hapoel Beer Sheva (Israel)

The enemies of Mars

• Nice, France)
• Hajduk Split (Croatia) / Vitoria Guimaraes (Portugal)
• Vaduz (Liechtenstein) / Konyaspor (Turkey)
• Viking (Norway) / Sligo Rovers (Northern Ireland)
