It may have only been two weeks since the “greens'” last match, the 3-0 win at Panthessalikos against Bullet, but much has changed radically in the group during this time. The most important thing is the change of coach, since Ivan Jovanovich left and his place was taken by Fatih Terimwho will make his bench debut Panathinaikou against Epirotes, in a match with a big “must” for his new team.

Indeed, the “clover” is at 34 points and in second place in the standings, 1 point behind PAOK. The need to win against the tail PAS Ioannina it is a given, since the “greens” need it both for scoring reasons and for psychological reasons, in the debut of a new coach who from the beginning talked about winning the championship as a basic and non-negotiable goal.

The… footwork in the new year, however, was not ideal for him Panathinaikoswho in the first training of the new year lost for three weeks Sebastian Palacios. The Argentinian was the one who scored the winning goal against Zosimades in the first round, when the Greens got away with a 1-0 scoreline, and is generally a player the team’s attack relies on. His choices will be interesting Term for the starting eleven, as he has emphasized that he wants to make the “green” team more aggressive.

As for the rest of the competition, neither was included in the mission Bart Schenkefeld, but also Magnuson and Palmer-Brown, who continue their treatment. Of course, the presence of the young stopper, Elton Fikai in the 23rd, stands out, while the returns of the Djuricic and Cherin.

Things are completely different for him PAS Ioannina. The Epirotes are in the last place of the standings with only 9 points, while they ignore the victory since the first matchday of the championship, when they prevailed with 3-0 Kifissia. In the previous matchday, they drew at home with Panetolicowhile earlier they had suffered a heavy defeat with a score of 4-2 by Kifissia, which brought them to the bottom position.

His team Michalis Grigoriou he knows the difficulty of the task against a much stronger opponent, however he will weaponize toughness and defensive consistency to make his game difficult Panathinaikou and get all he can from this challenging match. The image of the Epirotians in the first game with the “greens”, only optimism can fill them, since then they had managed to annihilate the threats of their opponents, conceding a goal in the only phase of the Panathinaikou.

As far as the matches are concerned, PAS has its absences for the match, since the suspended players were left out Eramouspe and Pantelakis, as well as Eford and Bilbao. The task is clearly difficult for the team from Ioannina, however excesses are required so that they can break away from the position they are in.
