Following the victories of Ajax and FC Twente in the third qualifying round of the Conference League, attention is already turning towards potential opponents in the play-offs. The results of both teams suggest strong performances, but details about the next round are still lacking.
Ajax was 3-1 too strong for the Irish Shelbourne during Julian Brandt's debut, indicating that Ajax could face a formidable opponent in the play-offs, though no confirmation has been given yet regarding their next match.
FC Twente is also uncertain. If DAC 1904 hopes to make it through the next round, they must achieve an unlikely result after being disqualified in Enschede. Twente awaits more information about their play-off opponent.
In Armenia, the home team took a two-goal lead via Hélder and Gor Manvelyan, but the Swiss visitors demonstrated resilience. Winsley Boteli and Iliyas Chouaref ensured that there is still everything to play for in the return match in the picturesque Sion next week.
The play-offs are scheduled for August 20 and 27, with a place in the competitive phase of the Conference League at stake. The teams now await more details about their upcoming opponents to shape their plans.
