Cheers Earl for opening the Cups and Promotion/Relegation topics!

Greek Cup SF first legs:
20 April: Panathinaikos vs Lamia
21 April: PAOK vs Olympiacos

Pana is having a good run, so I don't see Lamia going through to the final. It now looks very probable that Pana will qualify for European football for the first time since 2017!


Welsh Cup final:
1 May: The New Saints vs Penybont

Penybont has never won a major domestic title or qualified for European football. They need to win the Cup, since they are on fifth position in the league.

Zvezda, Partizan and Voša expectedly qualified for the semi-finals last week. They were joined by Novi Pazar (team from the Bosniak enclave in Serbia), who are the heavy underdogs here. The draw will be tommorow, I hope for the Zvezda and Partizan to meet each other.

In Slovenia the cup is "plucked" this year, as no lower league teams play. This week there are semifinal matches Koper-Celje and Bravo-Domžale. I hope the winner of the first match will win the cup, as I really do not want those boring Bravo/Domžale to be in Europe.

Porugal. I think Porto will make the double. Semi final 2nd leg this week against sporting. The other finalist will be Tondela, right now in relegation zone. The other semi finalist is from 2nd division

Being a finalist is not enough for getting a European cup berth. You need to win the final! :grin1:

I meant that Pana and Oly or PAOK will probably be in the Cup final. These clubs will also probably finish within the top four positions in the league, therefore they will qualify for European football. :wink1:
