Volos and AEK cross swords at “Panthessalikos”, for the 3rd matchday of the Stoiximan Super League.
The hosts they haven’t succeeded so far, to achieve a victory in the Greek championship, as in the first match of the season they were tied against Lamia (2-2), while they also suffered a defeat by Panathinaikos at Leoforos.
However, this is a very dangerous team, which in every match tries to play football. In fact, last season they succeeded to extract the “double” as well at the headquarters of the “yellow and black” again at the beginning of the season, in a game that was held in Rizoupoli, as the OPAP Arena was not yet ready.
On the other hand, in “Union” they want victory at all costs, on the one hand to get it psychology after the three consecutive unsuccessful results with Panserraikos and Antwerp, on the one hand because otherwise it will give the opportunity to its pursuers very early on to move away.
In its first game in this year’s championship, AEK lined up with many changes and failed to beat Serrai at home. First, he conceded a goal in just the 1st minute, and then scored 34 final attempts, managing to score with Gacinovic. He then pressed hard, failing to breach Hovan’s goal.
The “black and yellow” completed their preparation for tomorrow’s match, with Matias Almeida having three important absences in the midfield. THE Levi Garcia remains out, while the “absence list” was also added Mijat Gacinovic, Rodolfo Pizarro.
Gacinovic has a problem at right side, while he will not go to his national team either, since he immediately started recuperation. At the same time, Pissarro has annoyances in his left leg from a blow in the match with Antwerp.
The mission of AEK:
Stankovtich, Athanasiadis, Mukudi, Mohammadi, Rota, Vida, Mitoglou, Sidibe, Hadjisafi, Simanski, Jonson, Pineda, Mandalos, Galanopoulos, Amrabat, Van Feert, Zuber, Araujo, Ponce, Eliasson, Zini.
