THE Kifissia comes from the 1-1 away draw with Panserraikos, while earlier it experienced two close defeats against Atromitos (3-0) and PAOK (0-6). It is in last place with 12 points, the same as PAS, at -2 from salvation at the moment.

For the first time, however, the newly acquired Bosnian left back, Ivan Milicevic, was included and Sotiris Ninis returned.

Karaiskakis”, where he is looking for qualification to the quarterfinals. Earlier, in the league, Piraeus came from three consecutive negative results: Defeats against Lamia (1-0) and AEK (1-2) and a draw with Atromitos (0-0). The “red and white” have away from home 4-3-1 record, but they have three losses in their last four games. Of course, a three point in today’s match will help Olympiakos to get closer to the top positions, since there is also the matchday derby at “OPAP Arena”.

Ese is out of the mission, since he has been declared to serve his sentence and on the occasion he will also take a breather, since he plays continuously.
