OFI won the second Cup in its history and became the first team to secure its presence in the Europa League playoffs for the 2026/27 season.
Of course, there is still a long way to go until the teams that might cross paths with the Cretans emerge, but Football Rankings made its prediction.
According to the algorithm, PAOK will also be in the main path of the playoffs, and they will be a seeded team, in contrast to Christos Kontis' team, which will be unseeded - with the two Greek teams naturally unable to face each other.
For the Thessalonians, there must have been 2 qualifications beforehand, as the third place in the Stoiximan Super League standings - which they currently occupy - leads to the second qualifying round of the competition.
