PAOK in Europe 2023-2024 (News, Draws, Rankings)

[Dutch Eagle]

And again to Scotland: Aberdeen.

[Blackhawk]

Eintracht Frankfurt
PAOK Thessaloniki
HJK Helsinki
FC Aberdeen

[pash]

If we don't get at least second place in this group, seppuku will be required

[PaokCT]

We should easily advance. And we can top Frankfurt especially if our games are between their big ones vs their top teams

[Soprano76]

PAOK should get 2nd. Maybe sneak a point from Frankfurt in Toumba too. 

[Athens4]

I just hope our away games against Frankfurt and Aberdeen are not when I am already away. Especially the latter.

[Blackhawk]

So no Ozdoev again in the away game against Aberdeen.

This will be the 2nd time we will face Eintrach Frankfurt. They eliminated us 4:5 on penalty kicks back in 1981 in Cup Winners Cup. 0:2 away, 2:0 at Toumba.

[Bananas]

Couldn't ask for a better draw.  Avoided some tricky teams.  No excuse for not advancing past the group stage.

[Dutch Eagle]

The schedule is released by UEFA:

21/9 HJK-ΠΑΟΚ 19:45
5/10 ΠΑΟΚ-Eintracht 22:00
26/10 Αberdeen-ΠΑΟΚ 22:00
9/11 ΠΑΟΚ-Aberdeen 19:45
30/11 Eintracht-ΠΑΟΚ 22:00
14/12 ΠΑΟΚ-HJK 19:45

[PaokCT]

Good. Like the set up of the list

[pash]

That first Frankfurt game (which is in Greece) is bookended by Panathinaikos (away) and Atromitos, and the second one is Panserraikos and Lamia. So I guess it's slightly better that we get to stay at home for the first one.

[Athens4]

Booked my night train to Aberdeen. Perhaps I will make the trip to Frankfurt too, not sure yet.

Ζοάν Σάστρε, Ιβάν Νάσμπεργκ, Φιλίπε Σοάρες, Αντρέ Ρικάρντο.

I just love it how we invest in players then exclude them.

[pash]

It's my understanding that we were way over the limit on non-local players, so someone had to sit out. Also...they'll have their chances in the other two competitions, I'm sure.

Did we really want to see Nasberg playing in Europe again, incidentally? Of that group, Soares is probably the biggest loss (and he's really third or fourth on the depth chart in that position).

Trolling. Nothing to do with topic at hand.

[Dutch Eagle]

We collected € 5,823,500.00 so far.

And here are some other figures and how we gained this amount:

[Athens4]

Considering you live in Germany your best bet will be to get one from a fan club. Most cities in Germany have one. They will probably require you to become a member though.

Otherwise tickets go on sale one week before the game.

[PaokCT]

Draw for first knockout round will be on December 18th. We will be excluded from the draw obviously but we will play one of the winners of the draw : 

 

In the draw for the round of 16, the eight group winners are seeded, and the eight winners of the knockout round play-offs are unseeded. Again, the seeded teams are drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. Teams from the same association cannot be drawn against each other.

 

So we will be hosting on March 14th. Would be nice to get an easy draw so we can make the QF. Imagine an Oly - PAOK QF

[pash]

Hahaha it would be a disaster for Greek football. Just imagine the fines

[Dutch Eagle]

We collected almost € 10 mio:

Συμμετοχή στους προκριματικούς γύρους: 200.000

Συμμετοχή στα play-offs: 100.000

Συμμετοχή στους ομίλους: 2.940.000

Αγωνιστική παρουσία στους ομίλους: 2.666.000

Πρώτη θέση στον όμιλο: 650.000

Συμμετοχή στη φάση των «16»: 600.000

Coefficient Ranking: 1.023.500

Market Pool: 1.100.000

Σύνολο: 9.279.500

[Blackhawk]

These are our possible opponents in the Round of 16.

Conference League 2nd place teams:

Slovan Bratislava (Slovakia)
AA Gent (Belgium)
Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia)
Bodo Glimt (Norway)
Legia Warsaw (Poland)
Ferencvaros Budapest (Hungary)
Eintrach Frankfurt (Germany)
Ludogorets Razgad (Bulgaria

Europa League 3rd place teams:

Olympiakos Piraeus (Greece) CAN'T GET DRAW WITH THEM
Ajax Amsterdam (Holland)
Real Betis (Spain)
Sturm Graz (Austria)
Union St. Gilloise (Belgium)
Maccabi Haifa (Israel)
Servette Geneva (Switzerland)
Molde FK (Norway)

The Conference League teams will get drawn against the Europa League teams in the Playoff knockout stage. We will face one of the eight winners from the Playoff Round. Would not be a bad idea if Eintracht Frankfurt gets drawn against either Ajax or Real Betis so one of the tough teams gets eliminated.

 

[pash]

Fortunately, there are a lot of teams there that we could take. But I know we'll just have Ajax to look forward to.

[Athens4]

A trip to Amsterdam is never a bad idea.
