Aris-Panathinaikos: The “yellows” must consolidate in the top 5, for the series… the “greens” are top

The lights on “Kleanthis Vikelidis”. THE Mars welcomes him Panathinaikos in… frozen Thessaloniki in the most important game of the 12th round of the Stoiximan Super League (20:30, Novasports Prime, bwinSPORT FM, www.sportfm.gr).

The “yellows” are looking for a return to home wins, looking for the second straight three points after the 2-0 win over Volos in “Panthessalikos” to stay in 5th place, while the “greens” want 7/7 away from home, so to establish themselves at the top of the league standings.

THE Mars, so he had time during the break to work on correcting several of his weaknesses. At home, however, the “yellows” are clearly better. In the most recent match, they suffered their first defeat in “Kl. Vikelidis”, losing 3-1 to Atromitos, while overall they are 4-1-1 in their field, with 11-6 goals. Akis Manzios emphasized the suspension function, trying to improve his team in this part, while he normally counts on the services of Fabiano and Odubazzo. On the contrary, Ferrari, Rupp, Matarita, Manu Garthia, Pavicic, Delizisis, Sgouros and Kyriakis are out of the squad.

The mission in detail: Cuesta, Houtesiotis, Odubazzo, Montoya, Fatore, Brambetz, Fabiano, Darida, Vestrete, Jean Jules, Dzouracek, Ducouret, Pardo, Menendez, Carlson, Suleimanov, Samora, Saverio, Moron, Christodoulopoulos, Panagidis.

THE Panathinaikos for his part, he saw his internationals do exceptionally well in the national team window. Sporar, Cerin and Verbic secured qualification to Euro 2024, with the latter scoring the winning goal, while Djuricic, Mladenovic and Serbia managed to score the same. Of course, the “greens” saw Fotis Ioannidis make another huge performance, this time against France.

THE Ivan Jovanovich he wants to see his team remain… unbeaten away from home, since it counts 6/6 so far and wants to extend the streak to 7 winning matches away from its “home”. In fact, he has scored 16 goals in these games, while he has only conceded 2 and, like last year, he is looking for another “double” in Thessaloniki. The Serbian coach does not count Palmer-Brown, Magnusson, Kleinheisler and Cocaj, while Juancar first returned to the mission after being wounded by a firecracker in “G. Karaiskakis”. Data, however, will not start in the original format, since it is not yet in a position for such a thing.
