With the showdown AEK-Atromitos the exciting (6th) matchday of the Stoiximan Super League ends on Thursday night (28/9, 21:00).
The match will be televised from Cosmote Sport 1 HD and radio by News Bulletin 247while there will be live updates from sport-fm.gr.
On the one hand, the “Union” comes from an excellent… finish in the “devil’s week” that preceded it, as the 1-1 at home with Olympiakos was followed by its legendary “double” (2-3) on her Brighton but also the upset victory (1-2) in the derby with Panathinaikos on the Avenue. A series of games, where Matias Almeida was called upon to attend important absences for his team, with the “yellow and black” however coping with the above.
Of course, in terms of points, the losses at the OPAP Arena have cost AEK (the 1-1 draw with Panserraikos had preceded it), with eight points – but also with two games less (the postponed premiere with Panaitolikos and tonight’s) – in -8 from the top and Olympiakos. Therefore, he wants to break the pomegranate in its stadium (for this year), as it is recalled that it had not won even in the matches it had played with Dinamo Zagreb and Antwerp (although of course with the Croatians it got an epic qualification in stoppage time).
In the competitive part, Arold was included in the AEK team Mukudi who fully recovered from the infection he passed, as did Ehsan Hadjisafi who had suffered a slight concussion in the match against Brighton. Instead, Domagoi remains out Vida due to the knock on the ribs from the derby with Olympiakos, while Matias Almeida decided to give “breathers” to Orbelins Pineda and Miland Mohammadi. Tom was also left out Van Weert for tactical reasons.
As for Atromitos, Chris Coleman’s team has not started the league well, being one of the three that remain without a win (Volos and Panaitolikos the other two). After the two defeats in its first as many games, for Atromitos followed the draws with Volos and OFIboth with 1-1, in Peristeri and Heraklion respectively.
The truth is that in the last match, against the Cretans, the Peristerians had a good image, especially in the first half, while they also kept the reaction after equalizing in the 86th minute (with a terrible goal by Yubitana). So they are left with two pointsbut also having two games less (the postponed premiere with Panathinaikos and tonight’s), while they have just given a match at their home ground. They are also on a streak of 12 games (6W-6H) without an away win in 2023 (last “double”, on 12/22/2022, 1-0 over OFI)
As far as the competitive part is concerned, there are no new problems or returns for the guests. The unprepared Tour remains out Dirksafter the knee injury he had suffered, just like Kyriakos Kibrakidiswho has fully recovered from his serious injury and is expected to be deployed soon.
It is reminded that last year AEK scored two wins against Atromitos. In her game OPAP Arena -where Chris Coleman’s team was one of those they made it difficult for her more than the rest – the “two-headed” prevailed 1-0, with a penalty kick Nordin Amrabad in delays. While, as regards the … episodic match of Peristeri – which was initially postponed due to the well-known affair with the goalposts – the “yellow and black” won by the same score thanks to the goal of Steven Zuber.
Overall, the “bicep” counts five-game winning streak against Atromitos, regardless of home and in fact without conceding a goal in the last four.
The team of Peristeri has two “doubles” against “Enos”, in the seasons 2017/2018 (0-1, 55′ Douda) and 2018/2019 (0-2 / 88′ Risvanis, 90′ Koulouris), both behind closed doors OAKA.
