Greece has found itself in a difficult position in the UEFA rankings having fallen to 18th place and now it is only in the hands of Olympiacos to be able to through their trajectory in the Europa League and the qualification against Eindhoven to give our country additional points and restore it. ranked 17th and maybe even higher.

Of course, things are no longer exclusively in the hands of Greece, especially Olympiakos and their rivals in the UEFA rankings.
As we have already written the good thing is that Serbia (16th), Switzerland (17th), Czech Republic (19th) and Croatia (20th) continue with only one team, also in the Europa League and on Monday their opponents also learned.
In fact, we could say that the draws for Red Star (Serbia), Young Boys (Switzerland), Slavia Prague (Czech Republic) were difficult and only Croats with Dinamo Zagreb have a better chance of something good. Of course, everything will be judged in the field on February 18 and 25.
But let’s take a closer look at the draws our rivals had in the battle for UEFA qualification.
Red Star (Serbia) – Milano, Italy)
Young Boys (Switzerland) – Leverkusen (Germany)
Slavia Prague (Czech Republic) – Leicester (England)
Krasnodar (Russia) – Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia)
What, of course, Greece wants from the “rojiblancos” is to have better results than the four rivals in the UEFA battle and if they can qualify. If this happens, Greece will be able to return to 17th place and look even higher at 16th place depending, of course, on what others do.
Greece can return to 17th place even if Olympiacos simply have better results than Young Boys in the next phase, even if they do not go to “16” but in this scenario our country will want the exclusion of all the rest who have a difficult task after the draw of Monday.
The worst case scenario, of course, is that Olympiacos are eliminated from Eindhoven and everyone else qualifies. This, of course, will bring Greece even lower in the UEFA rankings.
