Volos and Panaitolikos cross swords in Panthessalikos (28/1, 19:30), in the first game of the 20th round of the Stoiximan Super League, with both teams looking to return to winning ways.
The Magnesia team is located in 6th place in the scoreboard with 29 points and it comes from a 3-0 loss to Aris, paying for a poor second half. The Thessalians are looking for the positive result, in order to increase their difference to +12 from the Agriniotes, who will essentially be out of contention for a place in the playoffs.
As far as absences are concerned, Kostas Bratsos will be deprived of his services Tasso Tsokani, while the list of names does not even include that of Matija, who has been out of the picture for a long time.
The mission of Volos in detail:
Kleiman, Kotnik, Alho, Tahatos, Sielis, Escoval, Triantafyllou, Pirinen, Luna, Si, Metaxas, Barrientos, Kartalis, Deletic, Meskida, Pires, Chirinos, Gagi, Ozegovic, Kucias.
On the contrary, Panaitolikos is in “8” of the ranking with 20 points and goes to Volos with the aim of getting the win and closing in on his current opponent to 6 points, then playing it all for… all, in order to catch the… train of the six.
Yannis Anastasiou will not have at his disposal Yannis Anesti, with the results of the submitted MRI showing that he has suffered swelling in the knee.
Besides that, he will also be absent Mladen, who will serve the punishment of the four yellow cards he completed in the said match, while the injured were also left out Apostolakis, Bakakis and Dago, but also Varone for tactical reasons.
Instead, the team’s new transfer acquisition is on the mission for the first time, Nikola Stajic.
