UEFA Europa Conference League-Knockout stages (Olympiacos)

[Somniloquism]

Whichever one means the least amount of travel. So Union, Ajax, Seviette in that order I suspect.

[Steve67]

Legia, Frankfurt and Betis going out is a bonus I guess.  Ajax vs Villa I reckon.

[Gareth]

They are all probably a step up on what we have faced in the tournament so far but none of them should be feared.

[Demitri_C]

Ajax and olympiakos are probably the toughtest teams we can draw but we shouldnt fear them. Got to say though olympiakos is quite a hostile place so will be eventful

[Lastfootstamper]

It’s looking like one of:

Ajax
Maccabi Haifa
Molde
Sturm Graz
Servette
Union St Gilloise
Olympiacos
Dinamo Zagreb

Union or strum graz please

Always thought Sturm Graz sounds like some Wehrmacht operation in WW2, something involving setting fire to villages in the Balkans.

I look at this competition as the true child of the 70's UEFA Cup, and clubs should be judged by name and name alone. Aston Villa vs Sturm Graz is the best name of a football match ever. Bring it on.

You don't want to be the team that knock Olympiacos out and then return to Athens for the final. There would be a lot of ill feeling in the city towards Villa fans. Better to have someone else knock them out hopefully before the final. I've been to their ground as an away fan with Appolon Smyrni another Athens club. It is hostile even on the day they win the league for the gazillionth time.

Current league positions:

Ajax - 5th
Maccabi Haifa - 1st
Molde - season not started
Sturm Graz - 2nd
Servette - 2nd
Union St Gilloise - 1st
Olympiacos - 4th
Dinamo Zagreb - 3rd

Molde 3-0 game over. Legia destroyed  😂

Wonder if they were still smiling after that. https://twitter.com/Footy_Fooligans/status/1760792627547381925

3/4 of Athenian’s will love us for knocking em out.

Although playing them in the final won't be an easy trip. AEK will be up for it against Olympiakos playing a final at their ground. Plus they will have loads of ticketless fans around.

Good news for everyone that those assholes have been knocked out of the ECL. What's it going to take for them to get lengthy ban from all European football? Probably when someone loses their life.

What isn't true?

A country that banned fans from stadiums for two months sounds like a hostile environment to me.

Well im greek for starters and go athens alot. Been to alot of olympiakos games and they a rowdy bunch but they won't care who knocks them out. The general feeling is that they are happy that the final is finally in greece and want to welcome fans.

Its just pure speculation. Its like saying if the final is at villa park we would want to be hostile to any club that knocked us out. Its football. They aint legia
If we were fenebache or another turkish club that thats a completely different conversation as there is hostile relations between the countries.
