The representatives of Greek football in Europe play four important games this evening. It is no coincidence that PAOK in the Conference League and Olympiacos in the Europa League may mathematically ensure from today that they will be in the knockout phase (regardless of the competition), depending on the results of their opponents. For the 4th matchday of the two UEFA competitions, Panathinaikos and PAOK compete at 19.45 with rivals Rennes in France and Aberdeen in Toumba respectively, while at 22.00 AEK welcomes Marseille and Olympiacos is tested in London against West Ham .
The red and whites may “lock” today that their European journey will continue, at least through the Conference League, securing the 3rd place in their group. This will happen if they beat West Ham and Backa Topola lose to the other pair in the group from Freiburg.
