The Conference League “best of” qualification play-off round starts today with 8 games. In this phase of the competition, matches are played in a round-robin format. The first 4 will start at 19:45, while the rest will start at 22:00. All games will be broadcast in liveTEXT format on GSP.ro and on TV on Prima Sport and Digi Sport channels.
Crystal Palace will open the evening on the field of the Bosnians from Zrinjski, and Fiorentina, the only representative of Italy, will go to the field of the Poles from Jagiellonia.
AZ Alkmaar, Lech Poznan and Samsunspor are some of the remaining teams who will be looking to get a positive result in the hope of qualifying for the next phase of the competition.
Răzvan Marin (AEK Athens), Andrei Rațiu (Rayo Vallecano) and Bogdan Racovițan (Rakow), the Romanians remaining in the competition, obtained direct qualification in the “eights” phase, so their teams no longer need to play in this play-off.
