Volos-Olympiakos: Test in the “red and white” Panthessalikos for the Piraeus

THE Marble hosts him Olympic in Panthessalikos in the first timed match of this year playoffs of the Stoiximan Super League (17:30, Cosmotesport1, News Bulletin 247, sport-fm.gr).

Knowing that they will come out victorious as long as they do their job in Volos, since in the evening there is AEK-Panathinaikos and earlier Aris-Panathinaikos. There is a serious chance that they will be -3 or -2 from the top after some time or even close, even reaching AEK. After all, 2nd place is also very important, since it leads to the Champions League qualifiers.
