Preferred draw for PAOK by preference descending:
1. Plzen
2. Olympiakos
3. Brugge

PAOK does not fear anyone.
Villa is probably too good for the ECL, but PAOK has a great tradition in London.

A Greek QF would be quite nice here.

If it doesn't happen, I wish one of the two Greek clubs get Plzen and the other get Club Brugge

Fenerbahce wouldn't be the worst choice either.

But what about Bermingham?

Only faced London teams so far.
Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea.

Not keen on visiting the countryside this season either 😄

PAOK vs Brugge (yay!)
Olympiakos vs Fenerbahce
Aston Villa vs LOSC Lille
Victoria Plzen vs Fiorentina

Semifinals
PAOK/Brugge vs Victoria Plzen/Fiorentina
Olympiakos/Fenerbahce vs Aston Villa/LOSC Lille

Almost perfect draw for PAOK.
If through, PAOK would play the winner of the last game, probably Fiorentina.

Historic chance to play in a UEFA final in Athens!

Brugge can say the same (by the way the order is Brugge - PAOK).

Potentially there is a final Aston Villa - Fiorentina that can happen. The winner of Olympiacos/Fenerbahçe has no chance if Aston Villa gets past Lille.

Good draw for the Greek clubs in the QF.

But they didn't draw each other (their pairs) in the SF...

Olympiacos cannot eliminate Aston Villa, they need to focus on beating Fenerbahce and hope that Lille does the tough job for them.

PAOK has a real shot for the final!

I was posting in the wrong thread before. So:

Boo. Hard draw, Lille and first leg at home. And home first again vs Olympiakos or Fenerbahce. Bad draw overall.

Probably be Fenerbahce if reach the semis. They're 2nd in Turkey, but they and Galatasaray have been treating the league like Rangers and Celtic treat Scotland. In fact, they've actually been more dominant over their league than Rangers and Celtic have theirs this season. Which is astonishing.

Good draw for PAOK , they have a good chance to get to the final, of course it wont be easy but it seems it is easier than the olympiacos path.

Olympiakos cannot eliminate Lille either. Whoever wins the tie Aston Villa vs Lille probably gonna win the trophy also. To me its like the final. Sad that they have to play each other so early. 😶

Which is right? BBC have it as:

Quarter-finals:

Club Bruges v PAOK

Olympiakos v Fenerbahce

Aston Villa v Lille

Viktoria Plzen v Fiorentina

Semi-finals:

Aston Villa or Lille v Olympiakos or Fenerbahce

Viktoria Plzen or Fiorentina v Club Bruges or PAOK

Villa home 1st or 2nd in semis?
