Atromitos-AEK: In order to stay at the top, the suspected “Union”, the Peristeriotes are on course for the 6th place

On Sunday (5/2, 5:30 p.m.) Atromitos and AEK will face each other at the Municipal Stadium of Peristeri, as part of the 21st round of the Stoiximan Super League, in an extremely interesting battle that directly affects… top and 6th place.

The game will be televised by Novasports Primeradioed by News Bulletin 247while there will be live updates from sport-fm.gr.

The guests for the first time this year will enter the field with the aim of defending it 1st place that they hold in the standings. They prevailed last season 3-0 of Mars in the OPAP Arena and taking advantage of Panathinaikos’ loss of points in Tripoli saw their name at the top of the table (and) at the end of the competition, being in +2 from the “greens” (who welcome Lamia a little while earlier). Now, they have 11/11 in league and Cup at their new stadium. However, today they will not compete in it.

In their last two trips to the League away from Philadelphia either they went astray (2-1 defeat by PAS Ioannina) either they had a lot of trouble (stressful victory, 2-1, with an upset over Ionian). With these two matches in mind as well the difficulty that Atromitos puts on the “big ones”. (including the match between them for the first round), they will go down with the sole aim of course of the “three points” and keeping at the top. And all this, while next Thursday (9/2) the home derby with the Olympic for the Cup.

As far as Atromitos is concerned, last season Peristeriotes drew (1-1) like… a victory in Ioannina over PAS, given that they saw Gianniotis put a huge “stop” in Nini’s penalty kick during the delays. It was the fourth straight ‘X’ in league and Cup for Chris Coleman’s side. On the one hand, ousa 7th, has cut its distance from the 6th place and Volos to four points (and while at the next “turn” there is a six-point derby between them). On the other hand, however, she could have narrowed the gap even more if she turned her good performances into wins.

Be that as it may, Atromitos will go down to the match having as an example both the results at home with Olympiakos, PAOK and Ari (all draws), as well as its image in the first round game. Where he may have been defeated, however, he made it more difficult for AEK in their new stadium than any of their opponents so far. Besides, the final 1-0 was shaped by Nordin Amrabat’s penalty kick in stoppage time.

In the competitive part, Matias Almeida for the guests, he will not have them again at his disposal Paolo Fernandez and Milad Mohammadiwith the former making a road race for Thursday.

THE Chris Coleman will be able to count on both the newcomer, in the form of the loan from Olympiakos, Agibu Kamaraas well as in Fani Mavrommatis, who has returned from the serious injury that has plagued him for the past few months. In addition, available for the Peristerians will be Lawrence de Bockwhile out for the second match in a row remains o Victor Klonaridis. It should be noted that Marko Marić has terminated his contract with Atromitos, who is expected to replace him with Laurentiu Branescu.
