Both rivals are looking to bounce back after back-to-back negative results.

On the one hand, last Saturday (3/2) the team of Agrinio stayed at 1-1 at the Panthessaliko Stadium, even though he opened the scoring against Bullet. Although this result also brought her her first point after four consecutive defeats in the championship, she still remains quite low and “entangled”, now in 12th place and tied (15th) with the penultimate Kifisia. So, she is looking for the “three points” that will give her significant breathing space. Of course, the home team in today’s match will have as an opponent… themselves and specifically their concentration levels. And this because next Tuesday (13/2, 19:30) they host him Mars to the first among them semi-final for the Betsson Greek Cup.

On the other hand, the Peristeri team last Sunday (4/2) was defeated in the 89th minute by PAOKfinally knowing defeat (0-2) from the “two-headed one of the North”. It was the third in a row in the league, completing four games with just one point (at home against OFI), while in between he failed to reach the semi-finals of the Cup, as he was eliminated by Panathinaikos (despite the victory at Leoforos). Of course, a series of matches that had to deal with concentrated and crucial absences. Thus, given that in this quarter he lost to Asteras in Tripoli, he is naturally considered the outsider for entering the top six, being 9th (on 23 points together with Panserraikos), at -7 from 6th Lamia and at -6 from 7th Arkades (essentially -7, however, as the Tripoli team is tied). Now, in order to be in the Playoffs, the Peristerians are looking for a reaction on the one hand, starting with the match against Agrinio, and on the other a combination of results and overachievements.

On the competitive side now, as far as the hosts are concerned firstly, there was a last minute problem for the Yannis Petrakis. Specifically, Levan Sengelia was unexpectedly left out of the mission due to infection. In fact, the Georgian winger is not the only absence of Agriniots, since the Bakakis due to disturbances in the adductor, o Baldasara who has not yet recovered, as well as Tobacco. Instead, the newly acquired stopper Jimmy was on the mission for the first time Tabitze.

To the guests o Sasha Ilyich he recalculates both in Agibu Archwho on Tuesday (6/2) returned to Greece having completed his obligations with the Guinean national team in the Africa Cup of Nations, as well as to Giorgos Javella who overcame the virus that was bothering him and had kept him out of the matches with Panathinaikos and PAOK. Instead, Lucas was left out of the mission Unsure due to a calf injury in training, as did Waddy Keshrida who is constantly increasing his pace and is expected to enter the regular training program from next week. Samuel was also left out Fridjonson, also due to the selections in the center after the last returns. It should be noted that the Icelandic midfielder will undergo a new magnetic resonance imaging in the coming week, in order to leave the mask he wears due to the blow he suffered and which is bothering him.
