Olympiacos overcame the obstacle of the tough Panserraikoswho with Youssef El Arabi’s penalty managed to win with 1-0 in Serres and reduce the point difference from the top (where PAOK is), catching AEK and Panathinaikos in second place.
Before the Christmas breakhowever, the people of Piraeus have in front of them another “obstacle” that they have to overcome.
Specifically, on Thursday (21/12, 20:30) Carlos Carvalhal’s team plays in Peristeri against Atromitosa team that has traditionally made it difficult for the “red and whites” in recent years.
Looking at the tradition of the two teams in the Western Suburbslast season Olympiacos drew 1-1 for the league and 2-2 for the Greek Cup.
In 2021, he had a hard time getting the “three points”with 1-0, as had happened three years earlier in 2020. In November of the 2018/19 season, Piraeus escaped from Peristeri with 2-1 and the previous year the match had ended 2-2.
On the plus side for Carvalhal is the return of Panagiotis Retsos, but the Portuguese coach does not count on Kostas Fortounis, who will serve a one-game suspension in the upcoming match.
It is worth noting that El Arabi left in annoyance from the heavy pitch and his condition will be assessed today by the team’s medical staff.
