AEK-Olympiakos: They say goodbye for the 6th time, in a crucial derby for 1st and 3rd place!

In OPAP Arena AEK and Olympiacos meet for the 6th time this season. With the league now in its final stretch, “Enos” welcomes Piraeus on Wednesday afternoon (3/5, 20:00) as part of the 8th round of the Stoiximan Super League Playoffs, in a derby that can to prove decisive in terms of grades.

The match will be televised from Cosmote Sport 2 HDradioed by News Bulletin 247while there will be live updates from sport-fm.gr.

Three days after the big “final” of the “Union” and Panathinaikou on the Avenue. There, where the 0-0 kept both of them in the… socket, with the lead for the title still going to the “greens” (who surpass the tie between them, being both on 76 points).

As far as the current hosts are concerned, AEK had an excellent competitive presence on the Avenue – playing with many problems – but they no longer define their own destiny. It also directly depends on the results of the “clover” which at the same time will welcome PAOK, while Olympiacos may also prove to be a regulator for the title, which after the derby with AEK welcomes Ivan Jovanovic’s team in (excluding of doors) “C. Karaiskakis”.

The Piraeus, for their part, last Sunday won a wide victory (5-0) hosting him Bullet, a result with which they returned to winning ways after three consecutive defeats. Mathematically, they lost their chances for the first two positions, being at -10, but they remained in the +3 from the 4th PAOK having the “upper hand” for occupying the 3rd place which gives the ticket for the Europa League under conditions (provided the “two-headed of the North” is defeated in the final of the Cup by AEK). So given there is motivation in their ranks.

The schedule of AEK and Olympiakos for the last two matches:

AEK: Ares (outside), Volos (inside).

Olympic: Panathinaikos (home), PAOK (away).

In terms of competition, AEK does not count on the unprepared Sidibe and the injured Araujowhile on the other hand the mission was joined by Rota. The Greek right-back participated in training on Tuesday (2/5) – after hitting his head in the derby with Panathinaikos and spending the night in the hospital – but not at full speed, hence his participation in the starting lineup is doubtful. Thus, Pineda gathers the most chances to replace him again, just like in the Avenue game where he did extremely well. Including those “yellow and black” who suffered from a virus in the previous days, as for once again recently the young Zini.

In the camp of the guests, the coach of the “red and whites”, Jose Anigo, did not reserve any surprises in his selections, as he included all his available players for the derby, with Alexandros Paschalakis, Sergi Kanos and Gary Rodríguez missing out due to injury. As for the Spanish winger, there was some chance he could make it into the squad, however, he wasn’t ready and it was deemed appropriate to sit him out. Inside and Inbom Huang, who had some discomfort in the last few days, however, overcame the problem and was normally available to his coach.

Possible compositions:

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

Olympiacos (Jose Anigo): Tzolakis – Rodinei, Papastathopoulos, Doi, Reabciuk – Embila, Huang – Biel, Valbuena, Fortounis – Bakabou.

Referee: Jerome Brizard (France)

A’ Assistant: Benjamin Pazet (France)

Second Assistant: Alexis Auger (France)

4th referee: Spyridon Zambalas

VAR: Jeremy Pinard (France)

She is the 6th time so where the two teams face each other during the season. In the regular season of the championship, the first game at “G. Karaiskakis” had ended without a score, in the second match at OPAP Arena, Olympiacos forced AEK to its first and only defeat (1-3) so far at OPAP Arena, while ten days ago for the Playoffs, “Enos” prevailed 3-1 in faleri field. Also, the team of Matias Almeida counts the qualification against the “red and whites” in the “4” phase of the Greek Cup with a 3-0 victory at home and a 2-1 defeat away.
