Aris-Panserraikos: Thessalonians return to winning ways against the fighting Serrai

With a very interesting match which will be held in Thessaloniki and at “Kleanthis Vikelidis”, Saturday’s schedule for the 8th matchday of the Stoiximan Super League is completed!

Aris will welcome Panserraikos, with the Thessalonians wishing to combine the return from the break due to national teams with a return to positive results and with the visitors wanting to continue the impressive start they are making this season.

Although the match was initially scheduled to take place at Panserraikos’ home, the serious problem that arose with the home of Serrai led to the decision to play the game at Aris and the second round at Serres.

THE Mars is in 8th place in the standings, with 8 points (2-2-3) and coming from two consecutive games without a win. After a heavy 4-1 defeat at the home of Olympiakos, two weeks ago they drew 1-1 at home with Kifissia, and that’s how tonight’s match has taken on the character of… a must win for his team Manzio. As expected, the valuable Darida returned to the squad, but the injured Rupp, Saverio, Jules, Veleth, Manu García and Delizisis were left out.

The Mars Mission: Cuesta, Houtesiotis, Montoya, Odubajo, Fatore, Ferrari, Matarita, Fabiano, Brabets, Darinda, Verstrate, Djurasek, Pavicic, Ducouret, Pardo, Menendez, Carlson, Suleimanov, Moron, Zamora, Christodoulopoulos, Panagidis.

On the other hand, Mr Panseraikos so far he has collected one point more than his tonight’s opponent, having even given one less game. With just one loss so far, his team Pablo Garcia has been one of the pleasant surprises of the season, running a six-match unbeaten streak that began on August 26 and that 1-1 draw with AEK at the ‘OPAP Arena’. Before the break, they won 2-0 against Asteras Minorasia for the Cup, while for the championship it comes from two consecutive victories against Lamia (2-0) and PAS Ioannina (3-2). Stina, Dunkerlouis, Masaripov, Hayek, Tsagalidis, Bairovich, Karasalidis, Oikonomou, Tsombanidis and Papavasileiou were left out of the mission.
