Third National
The draw for the third and fourth stages of the Greek Cup
The draw of the third and fourth stages of the Greek Cup produced quite interesting duels. From the third phase, the games Niki Volos – Herakles, Apollon Smyrna – Kifisia and Aegaleo – Panserraikos stand out.
The draw for the third and fourth rounds of the Greek Cup was completed at the EPO offices and the Super League 2 teams also entered this stage.
Among the third round pairings, the matches between Niki Volos and Heraklis, Apollo Smyrni with Kifisia and Aegaleos with Panserraikos stand out. In the third round, three teams will win the qualifiers through the fourth without a match (one of them is Thesprotos), while 17 teams will win the qualifiers by matches.
From the fourth round, eight teams advance to the fifth round without a match and six teams through matches. Super League teams other than Olympiakos, PAOK, Ari and Panathinaikos enter the fifth round.
