He has a strong opponent to face on 22:00 the Panathinaikos that will welcome the Wren at Leoforos stadium. A game that, as long as it has a winner, then the one who gets the three points will have taken an important step towards qualifying for the next phase of the Europa League, and will have essentially locked up 3rd place.
The previous matchday, Panathinaikos faced him Olympic in the derby of the ages, in “G. Karaiskakis”. However, the match was stopped after a firecracker fell and injured O Juancar, with the fate of the match now up to the courts. The “greens” had an excellent performance in the first half, where they took the lead with Vagiannidis and could have found a second goal, converting the opportunities they created into goals.
The “clover” is found in 4th place with 17 points in the championship, those of PAOK and AEK. He wants to continue strong in Europe and go as far as possible. They are already leading the group with 4 points, having a win over Villarreal (2-0) and a draw with Maccabi in Haifa (0-0).
“Every team has some elements that they rely on in terms of how to approach it. Like us, so is Rennes, we are both teams that have a specific plan, for such a game that is important for both of us. It’s a very demanding game.
Ren is a team that is very strong, disciplined, focused, energetic, enthusiastic. Most of the players are at a good footballing age. It will take a lot more concentration tomorrow than any other game.”said Ivan Jovanovich at the press conference.
The Serbian technician will not have him at his disposal Juancar as was logical, but also them Kleinheisler, Palmer-Brown, Xenopoulos and Magnuson.
The mission in detail: Brignoli, Lodingin, Lillo, Vaiannidis, Ruben, Senkefeld, Ioannidis, Sporar, Bernard, Cerin, Mancini, Jedvai, Aitor, Sideras, Mladenovic, Kotsiras, Djuricic, Palacios, Vilena, Arao, Bilal, Prodromitis.
On the other hand, Wren comes from two losing streaks and is in 9th place of the French championship with 11 points. In Europe it counts a victory with 3-0 over Maccabi Haifa and a defeat 1-0 from Villarreal. The French team does not have any competition problem with him Bruno Genesio to count on all his footballers.
It may look like it is in a state of disrepair, but this is a very quality team that from the middle and forwards are very fast and can cause a lot of damage! Panathinaikos needs a lot of attention to beat it in its defense, since it concedes goals and makes several mistakes, giving opportunities to the opponent.
The mission in detail: Gallon, Lebet, Mandada, Assignon, G. Doue, Omari, Wu, Teate, Belosian, Naginda, Truffaut, Matic, Santamaria, Bourisot, Blas, Le Fe, Rieder, D. Doue, Guiry, Kalimuendo, Salah, Terrier, Yildirim.
Possible lineups:
Panathinaikos (Ivan Jovanovic): Brignoli – Vagiannidis, Senkefeld, Jedvai, Mladenovic – Arao, Cerin, Bernard – Djuricic, Palasios, Ioannidis.
Rennes (Bruno Genesio): Mandada – Assignon, Wu, Belosian, Trifer – Santamaria, Reeder, Due – Blas, Calimuendo, Guiry.
