THE Mars hosts Olympiakos in its second quarterfinal Greek Cup at “Kleanthis Vikelidis” (19:30, Cosmote Sports, bwinSPORT FM, www.sportfm.gr).
With the first match having ended with a score of 1-0 in favor of the “red and whites” and the away goals not counting, the Thessalonians are invited to make the upset. With a victory with a difference of one goal, the match goes to extra time, with a bigger difference the “yellows” advance, while Olympiacos is looking for a draw or a win to go to the semi-finals.
THE Mars completed his preparation with today’s training in Neo Rysio, where several fans were found and psychologically drugged the team to push them to the victory-upset. Alan Pardew duly included him Daniel Mancini in the mission, something about which PAE had informed earlier despite the interest of Panathinaikos. Dabo, Embakata, Nkulu, Kamara, Camacho, Rodriguez, Hairovic and Karakasidis were left out.
The mission: Cuesta, Ciabanis, Brambets, Fabiano, Iturbe, Mateo Garcia, Manu GarcÃa, Darinda, Ducouret, Gray, Luis Palma, Etembo, Mancini, Piersman, Mazikou, Odubazzo, Marmaridis, Sgouros, Hatziyoannou, Tanoulis, Panagidis.

Mitchell will have changes to the starting line-up but not massive ones, as he wants to secure qualification to the next phase. First appearance in the mission for the newly acquired Ramon, as well as the talented Konstantinos Chrysopoulos, who was a member of the B team. On the other hand, Reabciuk and Marcelo were excluded.
