PAOK-Panserraikos: A special match, with the “lights” and on the… benches!

A special match will take place on Saturday afternoon (25/11) between PAOK and Panserraikos, for the 12th matchday of the Stoiximan Super League.

A game, first of all, to be held in Tuba. It is recalled that the original program had designated Serrai as the hosts. However, due to the temporary revocation of their stadium concession, the order of the matches was switched (with the newcomers playing in the second round game).

Of course, this is a match with points of interest. PAOK (4th23b., -5 from Panathinaikos and -1 from Olympiakos and AEK) went with good momentum to the break for the nationals. At the championship level, it comes from the great dominance (2-4) in “G. Karaiskakis” over Olympiakos and the victory (2-1) against Panetolico. Today, the Thessalonians have a difficult obstacle in front of them, based on the performance of Panseraikos against the big ones (and not only). Of course, the mind will inevitably be on the crucial match on Thursday (30/11) with Eintracht Frankfurtwhich will also decide the first place in the 7th group of the Europa Conference League (thus also the direct qualification to the “16” of the competition).

For their part, the guests before the break got a point (1-1) at home Fearless or to be precise, they missed the “three points” at 90’+4′! A set that continues to show excellent writing samples and essentially that has on occasion paid for the lack of experience. With less competition – which he will give on Wednesday (29/11) with Bullet– It ‘s in the 8th place (13b.) and to -2 from the 6th.

Nevertheless, there is also an extra-competitive reason that gives special interest to the match. His name “Pablo Garcia”, with the coach of Panserraikos returning as an opponent to the stadium he glorified (but also from which he left as a coach not in the way he himself would have liked). His upcoming handshake with him is also extremely interesting Rasvan Lucescuwho replaced him.

In the competitive part, the hosts do not count on the injured player Dad (races for Germany), the punished Andrija Zivkovic and Kenjioraas well as Nasberg, Felipe Soares, Marcos Antonio.

A… eleven absences for Panserraikos, with Garcia not having them at his disposal UedraogoGotzamanidis, GuleriColumbine, BadassStina, HayekKarasalidis, Papavasileiou, Tsombanidis and Anakoglou.
