Time for battle in Toomba. PAOK and Olympiacos said it again in a strong tone through announcements and now they are invited to… talk inside the playing field (20:30, Novasports Prime, News Bulletin 247, sport-fm.gr) as part of its 21st matchday Stoiximan Super League.
The hosts, who are in very good shape, having also received a boost from the qualification over Panathinaikos in the Cup and the double in Leoforos for the championship, are coming from the stressful 3-2 victory over Levadeaikos in Thessaloniki. Aside from the obvious reasons, the target is a 9th win in the last 11 games in the Super League, which will leave them alone 3rd in the standings while keeping them in touch with the top. As well as the 2/2 against Piraeus, after they had prevailed 2-1 in “G. Karaiskakis” in the 1st round. At the disposal of the Romanian technician for the first time Tomas Kenziora, while Tyson was knocked out due to inconveniences. Vieirania, El Kaduri, Murg, Lyratzis and Kurtic remain on the absentee list.
The visitors are looking to build a new streak, having returned to winning ways with the 2-1 over OFI with an upset and to continue the good performances after the good image they showed against the Cretans. After the problematic appearances against Aris (championship and Cup) and Atromito. In addition to the reasons for prestige, since the “red and whites” want a revenge for the 1-2 in Faliro, there is also the point-wise part, which is the 3rd place and the contact with the top. Mitchell took with him Kanos and Boutucci who were recently acquired, while in addition to Marcelo, Cisse and Androutsou, Gary RodrÃguez remained, for whom the Piraeus are in negotiations for his release.
