Maybe off the field, her friends AEK and her Marseille to maintain excellent relations, but within this, the players of Matias Almeida and Gennaro Gattuso respectively are preparing for battle!
The Union hosts the Marseilles at OPAP Arena at 22:00 (Cosmote Sport 5 & News Bulletin 247) with the aim of its first European victory in its new stadium, which will also give it a huge push to qualify for the knockouts of the Europa League.
The “yellow and black” they had been beaten 3-1 two weeks ago at the Velodrome, dropping them off the top of Group 2 and level with Brighton in 2nd place and -1 behind the French.
So, with a win, AEK takes a step toward qualification and first place, while a draw would leave everything in limbo. And in case of defeat, the top will be removed, perhaps permanently…
In the competition, Almeida does not have Stankovic available, who was sent off in the previous match, while Rota is doubtful.
On the other hand, Gattuso does not count on Ronzie, Aubameyang and Unahi.
It is worth noting that both opponents come from the Gheles, with AEK having remained at 1-1 with Kifissia in Kaisariani and Marseille coming from the 0-0 at home with Lille, which was the sixth match without a win in seven last matches of Ligue 1.
The possible lineups
AEK: Athanasiadis, Sidibe, Vida, Mukudi, Hadjisafi, Eliasson, Jonsson, Szymanski, Pineda, Garcia, Zuber
