With five matches remaining in the Stoiximan Super League playoffs, AEK has taken a 5-point lead and appears to be the absolute favorite for the title, while Olympiacos and PAOK may be limited to battling for second place and a ticket to the Champions League.
According to Football Rankings, the Union will indeed win the trophy and proceed to the playoffs of the top interclub competition, where they will be among the unseeded teams but will only need one qualification to advance to the League Phase.
Based on the numbers, therefore, the Yellow-Blacks will most likely face one of the following teams:
- Shakhtar Donetsk
- Ferencváros
- Red Star Belgrade
- Dinamo Zagreb
- Sturm Graz
Furthermore, FR predicts that Olympiacos will not only finish second but will also overcome the first two obstacles they will encounter in the 2nd and 3rd qualifying rounds, reaching the playoffs of the non-champions path.
There, the Red-Whites are placed among the unseeded teams, with the most likely potential opponents being:
- Club Brugge
- Bodø/Glimt
It is worth noting that in its predictions for the formation of the League Phases, Football Rankings estimates that AEK will qualify for the top interclub competition and Olympiacos will be eliminated, continuing in the Europa League.
