The Greek team that will be in the European League qualifiers, Olympiacos or PAOK, will soon find out whether it will start its European obligations from the third qualifying round or from the qualifiers. It will be decided by the Coppa Italia, stopping Juventus and what the three Italian teams do in this year’s European competition finals.
Olympiacos and PAOK are still competing for a place in the pre-season European League, even if the Stoiximan Super League ends. The red and white finished third which could send them into the competition, and play the double header in the final of the Novipet Hellenic Cup where if they win the title, they become holders of the relevant ticket.
Greece ranked fifteenth in the UEFA rankings in the 2021-2022 season, which means that it sends its representative to the third qualifying round of the competition. However, as is well known, there are many rearrangements caused by the invasion of European competitions and that is why it is possible for the Greek team in the Europa League to advance to the playoffs.
The Italian character of the finals affects Greece
An Italian team will host all three finals of this year’s UEFA competitions. Inter qualified for the Champions League, and will compete with Roma for the Europa League and Fiorentina for the Europa League final.
Besides the presence of two other Italian teams in the semi-finals and one in the quarter-finals of the three events, it is clear that this year’s tournaments bear the signature of the neighboring country.
Inevitably, this also sets the tone for the formation of the next three competitions. As you know, European competition holders get a direct ticket to the group stage next season. Champions League and Europa League holders for next Champions League groups, Europa League holders for Europa League groups.
These three conditions alone lead to reclassification in the lower tiers of the following competitions, namely the Qualifiers and Qualifiers. If a ‘contest winner’ clause is added to the ticket pools each club has been awarded by the league it participates in, the combination causes an explosion of reclassifications into the playoffs.
Greece’s representatives are affected on a twofold level. On the one hand, with regard to potential opponents in the draw that will take place in the qualifiers of the three competitions, on the other hand, whether they will win a round in the European League, since Greece is the first runner-up country in. The case of dominoes in this particular tournament.
Juventus penalties
Italian teams will greatly affect where the ball is in Greece, as well as the Italian Football Association, as it punishes, suspends and re-punishes Juventus with points.
The “Old Lady” and their status in the first division is a major factor in whether Greek teams will be in the third qualifying round or in the playoffs, as it directly influences other teams’ placements.
Before her punishment and while they were still in the semi-finals of the Europa League, the “Bianconeri” fulfilled the conditions to send the Greek team to the playoffs if they won the title and at the same time finished in the top four of the Italian league. A: First they were eliminated and then they got a new points deduction that removed them from realistic contention for a place in the top four in the championship.
Now, with the latest data, Juventus will play the role of organizer in the battle of the other Italian teams for the first four places, because they themselves will be absent and will … give their place, and because they face AC Milan on Saturday and can threaten to send it to the Europa League and … replace it. Bruma.
The scenarios they send to the playoffs
The main rule regarding qualifications and reclassification relates to the gaps created. If a team wins the Champions League but also has a corresponding ticket to the competition, it gives one of the two teams to the first runner-up country based on UEFA rankings. She “raises” her actor by one turn and causes a vacuum. The gap is filled by the first runner-up country to have a representative directly in the bottom role and in this way all the gaps created in the qualifiers are filled.
Some of the Champions League qualifiers also affect the UEFA Europa League qualifiers, which accept ineligible teams from the top flight.
Similarly, loopholes that arise if the Europa League or Europa League holder has a better ticket through the league leads to changes to the qualification processes for both competitions.
The representative of Greece in the European League is looking for a gap in the competition groups next season. This will be paid for by the Dutch Cup Winners’ ticket holder (PSV took the cup, but if they finish second, it will be the Champions League and the ticket will go to Ajax), who will enter the Europa League groups.
The gap created in the playoffs will be filled by the representative of Greece, namely Olympiacos or PAOK. In order to make the gap, there are three main scenarios, in which our country is also betting, according to the website specializing in ranking issues. kassiesa.net/uefa.
The first scenario: an internal modifiable
- Inter to beat the Champions League and occupy a position that leads them to the next European League
In this case, the Nerazzurri will use the ticket of the biggest club competition and leave the Europa League ticket. This card is removed from Italy and goes to the Netherlands, which advances its representative to the groups and the representative of Greece takes its place in the qualifiers.
The second scenario: Rome organizer
- Roma to overcome the European League and occupy a position that leads them to the next European League
In this case, the “Giallorossi” will use the award for winning the Europa League, which sends them to the Champions League groups. The Europa League ticket won through the tournament is withdrawn from Italy and goes to the Netherlands, who advance their representative to the groups and the representative of Greece takes their place in the playoffs.
Third scenario: FIORENTINA SETTLES
- Fiorentina wins the European League and the Italian Cup
In this case, the “Giallorossi” will use the prize from winning the Europa League, which sends them to the Europa League groups. The Europa League ticket won by ball is drawn from Italy and goes to the Netherlands, who advance their representative to the groups and the representative of Greece takes their place in the playoffs.
dates of interest
Combinations abound and these are not the only scenarios that can cause favorable (or negative) dominoes. For example, Sevilla could win the European League for the seventh time and be able to overtake Betis in the Spanish League, thus sending the Greek team to the playoffs, although this scenario is unlikely due to the distance between the two clubs. Conclusion.
What is certain is that the holder of the Greek Cup ticket (be it Olympiacos or PAOK) will begin his European duties in August.
If this starts from the third qualifying round, it means that he will play first on Thursday 10 August, with the second leg to be played on Thursday 17 August (the tie is on 24 July). If he advances to the playoffs, he will compete for the first time on Thursday, August 24th and claim a place in the Foundation groups on Thursday, August 31st (the drawing will take place on August 7th).
The draw for the group stage will take place on September 1, with matches starting on Thursday, September 21.
