Panserraikos-Aris: Both promoted (in the league), but also with different goals

A match between Panserraikos and Aris is included in the first day of the 21st round of the Stoiximan Super League, with the two teams clashing on Saturday afternoon (3/2, 19:30) at Serres Municipal Stadium.

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

Both teams are competitively promoted, naturally having different goals.

On the one hand, the hosts give their second consecutive home match, while a third follows, against Panathinaikos next Sunday (11/2). It was preceded by 2-2 by Bullet, where Pablo Garcia’s total was better, but saw the Magnesia side equalize in stoppage time with Garcia’s penalty. This result – and to be precise the image – came to be added to the two “double” series against Lamia and PAS Ioannina.

Last Wednesday (31/1), Panserraikos’ presence in the Betsson Hellenic Cup, in the quarter-finals phase, ended in a harsh way, as they were defeated 5-0 by PAOK in Toumba and with a total score of 9-0 he was excluded from the continuation of the institution. In any case, however, he is in a good mood, as evidenced in the league where he is in 9th place (22b.)in the +10 from the relegation zone – avoiding which is his big goal – and to -7 from the six. Past “lions”, Masaripov, Bairovic and Papakonstantinou, were reinforced with Mavropoulos (the 19-year-old midfielder is initially considered for K19).

On the other hand, Mars (5th, 33b.) as far as the League is concerned comes from the “double” (0-1) at its headquarters Kifissia thanks to the goal of Yannis Fetfatzidis, while on Tuesday (30/1) he completed the “job” with the 2-2 in Volos against Win and thanks to the 3-0 of “Kl. Vikelidis” advanced to the semi-finals of the Cup, where they will face Panaitolikos. Winning this trophy is now the biggest goal of the “yellows”, who of course want the best possible placing in the championship as well.

A Mars that in midweek announced the acquisition of both our old acquaintance, Karim Ansarifard, and the loan from Sunderland of the 20-year-old Costa Rican winger, Hewison Bennett.

As is usual recently, Panserraikos did not announce a squad for the game. For their part, the “yellows” have their newly acquired for the first time Bennettbut not him Ansarifard. Also, after some time, were included Rs and Pardo. Instead, the injured man was left out Fabianothe unprepared Jean JulesThe Manu Garcia for discharge reasons, as well as Matarita, Carlson who are not counted, as well as Christodoulopoulos, Panagidis, Kyriazis, Agorastos.
