Olympiacos: Martinez’s chances against Panaitolikos

With new faces o Olympic against Panaitolikos.

THE Diego Martinez -necessarily in some cases- it will give the opportunity to some players to show that they deserve more playing time. A typical example are the players who will compete in the center of the defense. With Rezzo suspended and Freire-Porosso injured, Biancone and Doe will be the two stoppers. The Frenchman has been playing for Olympiakos B so far and will make his debut with the first team on Saturday. The young defender is not having a good season like last year and is called upon to prove that he can untie the hands of the 42-year-old coach.

At the same time, Mr Ortega he returned from Argentina on Thursday afternoon and is not expected to make the starting XI, with Kinney returning to the starting line-up. Jovetic is set to start, replacing El Kaabi, who also returned on Thursday. After all, the Moroccan is not in the best possible condition. The Montenegrin striker is doing great with the representative group of his country, but with the “red and whites” (playing usually as a substitute) he is not as productive. For the experienced striker it is a prime opportunity to show that he deserves more time.
