The “greens” are in the playoffs Champions League and in the first game with her Braga in Portugal they lost 2-1, with his goal Daniel Mancini to leave everything open in view of the rematch. The Greek team presented a very good face, in the first half they could have gone ahead, however, the quality at this level is huge and the replay is called upon to make the big turnaround and find themselves in top stage of European football after 13 years.

Thus, one can easily understand that the Serbian coach should keep his players as long as possible concentrated it is done in view of tonight’s game, which hides pitfalls if its players do not notice it and above all Panathinaikos aims to win the title this year and it is very important to enter with the… right, taking them three points of victory.

The entirety of it Costa Bratsou comes from the 2-2 draw against Ghoul in the league premiere, a fair result although the Magnesia team could have been defeated.

Offensively, Volos has shown that he is capable of finding the back of the net, but in blocking mode he has had quite a few problems, an expected development considering that the roster changed a lot over the summer and it takes time to adjust. assimilate the players the “wants” of the coach and to display them on the playing field. Granted, Bratsos analyzed all week the bad texts to his players and concentration on the coach’s plan will play a decisive role in tonight’s match for the visitors.
