PAOK-Aris: Derby of confirmation and evidence in Toumba

Derby of evidence and… confirmation in Toumba! THE PAOK welcomes him Mars (20:30, Novasports Prime, News Bulletin 247, www.sportfm.gr) for its 4th matchday Stoiximan Super Leaguein the big match of Thessaloniki.

A game with its own ranking importance, since o PAOK is looking for a return to victories and to stay in touch with the top, while o Mars he wants the second three points in a row after his maiden victory last weekend (3-2 against Asteras) in the return of Akis Manziou.

O PAOK had time during the break to recharge after the demanding but thoroughly successful Conference League qualifiers that saw them through to the group stage. Of course, before the matches of the national teams came, the “two-headed team of the north” had been defeated 1-0 in Crete by OFI and counts 6 points after 3 matches.

THE Razvan Lucescu he knows how important this derby is for him, for the world and for the PAOK organization as a whole. He has at his disposal the newcomers Meite, Despodov, while it is possible that the latter will also start as a starter. At the same time, he does not count on the services of Marcos Antonio.

The mission in detail: Zivkovic, Kotarski, Vieirinia, Kenziora, Ekong, Michaelidis, Koulierakis, Baba, Rafa Soares, Tsigaras, Schwab, Ozdoev, Meite, Murg, Constantelias, Tyson, A. Zivkovic, Despodov, Brandon, Jimas, Samata.

The interruption of the championship was beneficial and probably came at the best time for him Mars. The 3-2 victory over Asteras Tripoli in “Kleanthis Vikelidis” gave the “yellows” the right to work in peace, mainly improving their poor suspension function.

THE Akis Manzios he also saw some of his transfer wants satisfied, acquiring Veleth, Verstraat, Suleimanov, who are on assignment, as is Pardo. Of course, the Greek coach is also looking for another striker, who will accompany Lorraine Morin, with the safari continuing. The Greek coach, however, knows these derbies first hand and excels against his opponent Razvan Loucescu, wanting to continue this good tradition he has built as Aris coach.

Continuing with the competitive issues, Jean Jules, Matarita, Saveiro, Fatore, Delizisis and Panagidis are each not counted for different reasons. The mission of the guests in detail: Cuesta, Houtesiotis, Montoya, Odubajo, Ferrari, Fabiano, Brambets, Veleth, Darinda, Jurasek, Rupp, Verstrate, Pavisic, Ducouret, Pardo, Menendez, Carlson, Suleimanov, Moron, Zamora, Christodoulopoulos, Aidonis.
