THE Marble welcomes him Panathinaikos at the Panthessaliko stadium tonight (11/01, 16:30 – www.sport-fm.gr, News Bulletin 247, Cosmote Sport 1) in the rematch of the 3-0 of the first match between them, at Leoforo.
The score of the first match does not leave much room for the hosts, who in order to get the ticket for the quarter-final stage of the Greek Cup will have to make the biggest breakthrough in their history!
The team of Magnesia includes Kleiman, Kotnik, Alcho, Tahatos, Sielis, Escoval, Aslanidis, Triantafyllou, Pirinen, Oues, Metaxas, Barrientos, Tselembakis, Kartalis, Deletics, Meskida, Tsirinos, Gagi, Ozegovits, Koutsias.
On the other hand, the “clover” can be found with… a foot and a half in the “8” of the second tier domestic football competition. But this does not mean that he can see the match in question as a “chore”.
After all, the unsatisfactory start of its obligations in the second round of the championship, “forces” Panathinaikos to “seal” its qualification to the next phase of the institution with a success.
Apart from psychology, however, Panathinaikos also has to think about the next game that follows immediately. Even more important, in fact. Against PAS in Ioannina, with victory being the only way!
Hence the Ivan Jovanovich intends to make a balanced rotation in today’s match. Resting some overburdened “mains”, giving opportunity and playing time to others and using the match to prepare through it for the “Zosimades”…
There are, of course, problems for the Greek Cup winners, as Magnusson and Huancar are the latest injured to join Aitor, Trouige, Ganea and Frokou.
The Panathinaikos squad included Brinioli, Lodgin, Christogeorgos, Vaiannidis, Ruben, Senkefeld, Pouhats, Ioannidis, Sporar, Bernard, Sanchez, Tserin, Tsokai, Kourbelis, Sideras, Symeonidis, Kotsiras, Sarlia, Palasios, Poungouras, Xavier, Kriparakos and Verbich.
Also, the “greens” will have the support of their fans in another away game, as they bought tickets from Volos.
Possible lineups:
Volos (Kostas Bratsos, 4-2-3-1): Kleiman, Alho, Sielis, Escoval, Pirinen, Metaxas, Barrientos, Deletic, Gaggi, Tsirinos, Ozegovic.
Panathinaikos (Ivan Jovanovic, 4-2-3-1): Lodingin, Kotsiras, Schenkefeld, Poungouras, Pouhats, Tsokai, Tserin, Vaiannidis, Bernard, Verbits, Ioannidis.
