Atromitos-AEK: With points and non-motivation, they meet again in… the same places!

The most talked about game of the season takes place on Wednesday (8/3, 17:30) at the Municipal Stadium of Peristeri, where… Atromitos and AEK meet again!

The match will be televised from Novasports Prime HDradioed by News Bulletin 247while there will be live updates from sport-fm.gr.

It is, of course, about her struggle 21st matchday of the Stoiximan Super League which was scheduled for February 5 and which postponed due to the known issue with the beams in the hearths. After two legal battles (objection and appeal), it was decided to redefine the match and thus the two teams will meet again. Which means that today will formally close the pending games of the championship in view of the completion of its normal duration next Sunday (12/3). If the “Union” retains in any case the right to appeal to the CAS, after the negative development of its appeal.

With different – but powerful – motive so each group.

The bigger (or even double) of course belongs to the guests, who expect to return to peak of the championship. Something they will achieve with victory, passing him Panathinaikos which -with more struggle- is at +2. The “yellow and black” come from a convincing victory (0-3) in Heraklion on OFI (a match where they faced significant absences, essentially playing without a thoroughbred forward) and while on Sunday they welcome the Olympic in New Philadelphia.

In the racing part, significant returns count. Specifically, Matias Almeida included in the 23-member delegation both Milad Mohammadi as well as him Paolo Fernandez, who have put behind the adductor problem and contusion that plagued them, respectively. They also return after serving their sentence Sergio Araujo and Damian Szymanski. Instead, as expected, the injured were left out Levi Garcia, Costas Galanopoulos and Theodosis Macheirasas well as the punished Nordin Amrabad.

On the other hand, Atromitos last season drew 1-1 in Tripoli with Star. A result that left him and math outside of the Playoffs, being 7th and at -8 from Mars (game more). However, he is motivated and this is more about his part… football ego after what unfolded on the day of the match and the following days. Something that of course also concerns AEKwhich will also struggle even more for this reason (even if it precedes the ranking in its own case).

In any case, Atromitos welcomes him on Sunday Panathinaikos and has the potential to be -even if temporary- regulator of the title race with the points that may be deducted from one of the contenders. Unlike the “two-headed”, the Peristerians do not face at all no racing problembesides of course the long-term injured, Suarez and Kibrakidis.

Possible lineups:

Fearless (Chris Coleman): Gianniotis – Keshrinda, Hatziisaias, Strungis, De Bock – Gonzales, Kuen, Erlingmark – Rotariou, Tsavidas, Robay.

AEK (Matias Almeida): Athanasiadis – Rota, Vida, Mukudi, Hadjisafi – Pineda, Jonsson, Mandalos, Gatsinovic – Zuber, Araujo.

Referee: Dimitris Karantonis

Assistants: Vasilis Nikolakakis and Yiannis Karagizopoulos

4th referee: Konstantinos Resident

VAR: Giannis Papadopoulos

It is recalled that in the first round game, Atromitos gave AEK a hard time, perhaps more than any other team in the OPAP Arena. Besides, the final 1-0 formed by his penalty kick Nordin Amrabad in delays.
