Lamia-Olympiakos: The new beginning and the… furious

Lamia has a difficult task today as they will face Olympiakos at 16:00, for the 23rd matchday of the championship (sportfm.gr, bwinSPORT FM, Cosmote).

THE Ghoul the previous matchday saw a 4-1 defeat by OFI and then… she changed the page on her bench. THE Savvas Pantelidis resigned from his duties, with Leonida Vokolo to succeed him. In fact, this is the third coach that Lamia has changed this year, after the season was started by Gianluca Festa who left in the final of the first round.

The Fthiotida team is in last place and is in immediate danger of relegation. So far in the league he has not done well, since he barely counts one win, 9 draws and 12 losses. In addition, Lamia issued an announcement during the week that they will not give tickets to Olympiakos fans, as they do with all the big ones. First mission for the newly acquired Kyriakos Papadopoulosreturn the De Vincenti, Stanko while out for different reasons are Simon, Beharano, Adejo, Saranov, Pavlovec and Tosic.

The mission in detail: Garavelis, Nikopolidis, Saramantas, Tzanetopoulos, Tzandaris, Martinez, Cornezos, Papadopoulos, Abada, Nunies, Slivka, Tsiloulis, Stanko, Askovsky, Vasilandonopoulos, Manousos, De Vincenti, Karamanos, Vergos, Romanich.

On the other hand, Mr Olympic destroyed Panaitolikos 6-1, reacting after the 3-0 defeat by AEK in the first semi-final of the Greek Cup. At the same time, combined with PAOK’s thrashing in Tripoli, he was alone in 3rd place in the standings with 46 points and hopes that after the “double-header” derby in Toumba, he will benefit from one of the two or both (in case of a draw). Olympiacos so far counts 13 wins, 7 draws and 2 losses.

During the week, Piraeus expressed in various ways their strong dissatisfaction with the appointment of the referee Resident by KED in the game in question, however their request to replace him was not accepted. At the same time, Mr Marcelo left Piraeus as his contract expired, with the Brazilian looking for the next stage of his career.

THE Mitchell left him out of commission James Rodriguez, who in the last few days had not attended training and wanted to protect him for the upcoming derby with Panathinaikos at “G. Karaiskakis”. Cisse, Retsos and Embila are also out for different reasons, while Reabciuk, Doi, Brusai and Butucci returned to the team.
