Super League Playoff 5-8: « Locks » Mars 5th place

With the two games of the 4th Playoff match for 5-8 positions, the Super League action continues on Saturday 26/4. At 20:00 in Peristeri, Atromitos welcomes Mars and at the same time in Heraklion, OFI hosts Asteras Tripolis.

After the end of the two games, the whole process may have been clear, since if Mars gets better than Astera’s, then he will also secure mathematically the 5th place of the championship, which is the whole stake in this series of playoff. A place that a European ticket can of course offer for the 2nd Qualifying Round of the next Conference League, as long as Olympiacos won the Greek Cup against OFI.

Otherwise, if the Cretans take the trophy, then they will automatically enter the 3rd qualifying round of the Europa League, the 3rd and 4th of the Super League is the one to go to the Conference League so the 5th will be out of Europe!

Absolutely favorite Mars

In any case, regardless of the Cup, Mars is currently the ultimate favorite to occupy the 5th position of the Super League standings. The « yellows » are at +6 from the 6th Star, three games before the finale of the process and for the 4th race they simply need a better result than the Arcadians (Niki-Isopalia or Tie-Itet), so that they are mathematical 5th, with two matches.

In the event that Mars and Asteras continue on Saturday with the same result and the difference remains at 6 points, then Mars does not yet secure 5th place and Asteras maintains his hopes, since the tie has not yet been judged between them (they have a win between them, one more than one game between them). Finally, it is worth noting that the 7th Atromitos has no mathematical hopes of 5th place since it has already lost all possible tiers.

1) The total of points in their matches, in regular duration and play off 5-8.

2) The difference between the games in the match between them, in regular duration and play off 5-8.
