With no room for another points loss, PAOK faces away from home the tail of the playoffs, Lamia (17:00, Newsit.gr, Cosmote Sport 1) and he wants the “three points” that will allow him to calmly watch the AEK – Panathinaikos that will follow, waiting for some “gift” from the derby Super League.
In “Athanassios Diakos”, PAOK will try to score one end in the last negative resultshis. Razvan Lucescu’s team, after being eliminated by Club Brugge and indeed with two defeats (1-0 at “Jan Bridel Stadium” and 0-2 at Toumba), mete third consecutive defeat, this time by Olympiakos in Faliro, with 2-1.
The specific result brought Olympiacos to -1 from PAOK. Without having played the Toumba derby against Piraeus, the Thessalonikians are -4 behind the second-placed Panathinaikos and -5 behind the leader, AEK. Thus, tonight’s Athenian derby OPAP Arena, is expected to have some “gift” for the “bicep of the North”.
There is no scope for losses for the “black and white”, especially since they will face Lamia, a team that has the ultimate in defeats in the mini league, most recently the heavy 5-0 by Panathinaikos and indeed in thePhthiotida.
Razvan Loucescu saw Yannis Constantelia return to action after being sidelined with Piraeus due to an infection, while Andrija Zivkovic completed his cards and will serve his suspension in today’s match. Also, the Nasbergs, Tsingaras and Tzimas stayed in Thessaloniki
