While Greece has 5 European tickets this year, the numbers insist that one of them will not secure qualification for the League Phase in the 2026/27 season...
You see, Football Rankings still predicts that next year we will have 4 representatives, none of whom will be in the Conference League.
Specifically, Olympiacos is placed in the third pot of the Champions League League Phase, with PAOK, Panathinaikos, and AEK found among the Europa League teams - with the Thessaloniki team in the second pot and the two Athens teams in the third.
At the same time, there is no Greek representation in the Conference League, with the algorithm not even seeing a Greek club in the playoffs!
It is reminded that at this specific time, the favorite for fifth place is Levadiakos, who is +5 ahead of OFI and Volos in the 5-8 playoffs standings, with Aris following at -6 from the top.
However, it is reminded that OFI is in the Greek Cup final, where they will face PAOK, and if they pull off an upset, they will... relegate the fourth-placed team in the playoffs to the third-tier interclub competition of UEFA.
