PAS Ioannina-Panserraikos: Another final for the hosts, for the Serrai to build a streak

With a different mentality, PAS and Panserraikos will face each other in Ioannina on Saturday afternoon (20/1, 19:00) for the 19th matchday of the Stoiximan Super League.

The match will be televised from Novasports Primeradioed by News Bulletin 247while there will be live updates from sport-fm.gr.

On the one hand, the hosts are coming off a heavy away defeat (4-0) by PAOK. A result that kept them at the bottom of the standings (12b.) together with Kifisia. Thus, Michalis Grigoriou’s team is looking for another “breather” after the victory over Asteras Tripoli two weeks ago, in another “final” at “Zosimades”.

On the other hand, last matchday the Serrai won a big “double” (0-2) at its headquarters Lamias, along with “breath” after they were removed from the last positions. Pablo Garcia’s team found themselves in 9th place and peeking higher again, being -8 out of 6th place. Of course, the first goal remains to stay in the division, being at +6 from the dangerous zone, from there they want to build a streak in the championship. At the same time, the Uruguayan coach has to manage consecutive games for his team, which last Wednesday (17/1) welcomed PAOK for the quarter-finals of the Betsson Greek Cup, knowing a heavy defeat (0-4). The rematch is scheduled for January 31.

In other words, both current opponents come from “four” from PAOK.

In the competitive part, PAS completed its preparation without any problems. On the contrary, Michalis Grigoriou counts returns, as Tsimas, Tsaoussis and Pamlidis, who were left out of the match against PAOK, are normally counted. Also, Eramouspe is at the disposal of the Greek technician, who suffered from a minor problem in the middle of the week. Therefore, Bilbao, Garo, Vrakas, Naoumis, Kyrkos, Begala and Mina were left out of the mission.

For their part, the guests did not announce a mission.

Possible compositions:

PAS Ioannina (Mihalis Grigoriou): Kleiman – Soria, Pantelakis, Eramouspe, Tsoushis – Rosero, Karachalios, Gino, Pamlidis – Leo, Conte.
