Atromitos-Panathinaikos: Surprise or upset?

Great match in Peristeri, with Fearless to welcome him Panathinaikos and the last actual ticket (19:00, Cosmote Sports, News Bulletin 247, www.sportfm.gr) for the semi-finals Greek Cup Betsson to find an owner.

A week ago, Peristeriotes had done the… bang, winning 2-1 with the overthrow of the “greens” on the Avenue, having a lot of luck, since the whole Fatih Terim he wasted a “bag” of opportunities, but also a penalty in the final with Ioannidis to finally experience defeat. Somehow, in today’s match, the “clover” is looking for a victory with a difference of at least two goals to qualify, while with a difference of one goal we will have extra time (there is no away goal rule). The hosts, for their part, are playing for two results (win or draw) to reach the semi-finals.

THE Fearless comes from the away defeat by Star in Tripoli with 3-1. A game in which he did not perform well, he missed the opportunity with Vergo’s missed penalty to temporarily equalize and then failed to react and get something, staying -6 from six. The following matchday sees a new very demanding match for Peristeriotes, as they host PAOK for the 21st matchday of the championship.

THE Sasha Ilyich has to deal with some important absences for the match in Peristeri, since Giorgos Tavellas is also out due to an infection. Andreas Kuen (virus, trained lightly in today’s program), Denzel Jubitana (knock from the first match and had only one training session), Maxim Imrekov (knock on the metatarsal from the first match) and Wazdi Keshrida, who returned with tendinitis from his duties with Tunisia and is undergoing treatment. Of course, Agibu Kamara remains out as he continues with Guinea in the Africa Cup of Nations. On the other hand, Samuel Fridjonsson returned to the disposal of the Serbian technician.

The mission consists of: Tsintotas, Marketzani, Dimos, Pomonis, Tsakmakis, Acevedo, Athanasiou, De Bock, Kunde, Erlingmark, Karamanis, Gondhaleth, Fridjonson, Vrakas, Robay, Dirks, Vergos, Valencia, Angelski, Trimmatis.

THE Panathinaikos he also comes from a defeat, also away from home, by PAOK in Toumba with 2-1. A game in which the “greens” did not have the desired performance, but with the chances they had in the final, they could at least save the point. Now, the “clover” has fallen to 3rd place in the standings and is looking for consecutive victories to get back on the… straight path. First in today’s Cup match, getting the qualification, then in the derby against Olympiakos at Leoforos on Sunday.

THE Fatih Terim can again count on the services of Sebastian Palacios, who has recovered, while Bart Schenkefeld is back on duty. Individual program was followed by Huancar, Sporar, Verbitz and therapy by Ioannidis, Vagiannidis, Magnuson, Palmer – Brown, all being out. It remains to be seen what the Turkish coach will choose for the eleven, who likes to test faces and formations, giving time and opportunities to most of his players. Something that can also be seen from the immediate adaptation of Tasos Bakaseta, who has a leading role in the team of the experienced coach.



In the mission are the Lodingin, Dragovski, Xenopoulos, Ruben, Senkefeld, Zeka, Bakasetas, Bernard, Limnios, Cherin, Mancini, Hugo, Jedvai, Aitor, Mladenovic, Fikai, Kotsiras, Geremegev, Djuricits, Palasios, Vilena, Arao, Kyriopoulos, Akaidin.

The team that will qualify will face PAOK in double games in the semi-finals of the competition.
