Olympiacos-Volos: The season is not over yet

by

The holidays haven’t come yet. THE Olympic hosts Volos in “G. Karaiskakis” (20:00, Cosmotesports3, News Bulletin 247, sport-fm.gr) in the context of the 7th matchday of the Stoiximan Super League playoffs, looking for the reaction after the last results and the victory, with which he will remain alone in the 3rd place. The visitors will only escape from the last place of the group by a miracle.

The Piraeus have known for two matches that they are definitively knocked out for the title and need to put an end to the negative streak they have built, as they come from three consecutive defeats in the championship (Panathinaikos-Olympiakos 2-0, Olympiacos-AEK 1-3, Aris- Olympiacos 2-1). However, even though they failed in their main goal, the conquest of 1st place (and 2nd which leads to the Champions League qualifiers), the time has not come to lay down… weapons, since they have to protect 3rd place, for which they are fighting with PAOK, having a distance of three points from the “big head of the North”.

To Olympic a problem arose almost at para five, with him Alexander Paschalakis to be knocked out both for the match and for the rest of the playoffs. From then on, there is no other absence for the “red and whites”.

On the other side, Volos wants to make a good finish to the season, since the goal of the 5th place has practically disappeared after the defeats against Aris (0-3) and Volos (0-2). The guests, who have before them the encounters with Ari (away), PAOK (in) and AEK (away), are looking for a positive result, as in the regular season at the same stadium. THE Marble had done damage to the “red and whites” with the final 1-1, with Ozegovic opening the scoring in the 29th minute, while El Arabi equalized in the 77th minute. However, the Serbian forward will be absent from this match, as will Barrientos due to a health problem (he suffered from automatic pneumothorax).
