PAS Ioannina-Aris: Let the hosts stay alive, let the “yellows” overcome the “shock”

by

Today’s (10/02 – 19:00, Sport-fm.gr, News Bulletin 247, Novasports 2) match between PAS Ioannina and Aris, at “Zosimades”, has a common starting point for their return to victory. 22nd matchday of the Stoiximan Super League.

“Ajax of Epirus” is at the bottom of the table and therefore wants…desperately to get the “three points” which, again, may not get them out of it in combination with the other games.

It comes from four consecutive defeats in the league, the most recent being the “heavy” one against Lamia, at home with 1-4, but also a win before those, while there were others… 15 without a win in the Stoiximan Super League!

Undoubtedly, therefore, the atmosphere is not the best possible, with the pressure increasing and everyone being asked to make a surprise, extracting the positive result.

Michalis Grigoriou, in fact, already made his… his, after he decided not to announce an assignment, keeping his cards closed, regarding the 11 he intends to line up…

The atmosphere is heavy on the opposite “bank”, however, since the “yellows” are facing financial difficulties which do not allow for the consistent payments of the footballers and had the result that there was even a related discussion in the locker room!

Apart from that, there was also the unexpected draw in Serres, with Panserraikos equalizing in the fifth minute of stoppage time and forcing Aris to lose points and… psychology. In his last five matches in the league, he has one loss and another three wins.

It is no secret that the people of Thessaloniki… live and breathe for the Betsson Cup and its conquest, but this does not mean that it “takes” them to put aside the other competition and add negative energy to the existing one.

At the competitive level, Akis Manzios does not have at his disposal Fabiano and Zoul who have just returned from injuries, while Montoya is also suspended.

The Mars mission, on the other hand, included Questa, Houtesiotis, Odubatzo, Fatore, Brambets, Roz, Veleth, Darida, Verstrate, Ducouret, Tzourasek, García, Pardo, Suleimanov, Zamora, Saverio, Bennett, Moron, Fetfatzidis, Delizisis, Panagidis and Buyer.

Possible lineups:

PAS Ioannina (Mihalis Grigoriou): Athanasiou-Soria, Eramouspe, Pantelakis, Tutou, Tsoushis-Karachalios, Gino, Liassos-Rosero, Pamlidis

Aris (Akis Manzios): Cuesta – Odubazzo, Brambetz, Roz, Fatore – Verstrate, Darinda, Ducouret – Saverio, Panagidis, Moron
