“Doubleheader” time at Tuba. A big battle between PAOK and AEK takes place on Sunday afternoon (11/2, 20:00), in the big derby of the 22nd game of the Stoiximan Super League.
A clash between two formed rivals, with a stake of course n peak.
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, therefore, the pioneer PAOK. His team Rasvan Lucescu comes from “double” (0-2)-character at the Municipal Stadium of Peristeri, where he bent him Fearless in 89′. So, it was kept at +2 from tonight’s opponent and at +3 from 3rd Panathinaikos, which they had defeated (2-1) two Sundays ago. Overall, the “black and white” are in a terrible state, running a streak of 17 matches in all competitions with 16 wins and just one negative result (the defeat by Aris). At the same time, with the match against “Enos”, they enter the four consecutive derbies and this because they follow the first two also at home (with Panathinaikos on 14/2 and with Olympiakos on 18/2), while then they will go to Leoforo for the Cup rematch with the “greens”.
On the other hand, AEK. The entirety of it Matias Almeida is running on a three-game winning streak, where among others she sees her forwards, Ponce and Levi, presenting themselves “hot”. Thus, after being eliminated from the Cup by Aris, the “yellow and black” have won 5-0 at the difficult venue of Atromitos, to then beat OFI (3-0) and Astera Tripoli (4-2) in order at the OPAP Arena. In fact, with one match a week now and at the mercy of the returns they count (in relation to the many absences of the previous months), it seems that they have returned to their… factory settings, performing to their known standards (which of course they had reached or even exceeded and in other matches this year). So the momentum is also very good for the visitors, who will be lining up in Toumba for the ‘double’ that will take them top for the first time this season (and not temporarily during a game day).
Besides, the AEK she clearly has recent history in double-header derbies in her favour; having prevailed in five of its last six meetings with PAOK. Among them was the one in last year’s Cup final, even though she was competing with ten players from the 6th minute. In the game of the first round, Almeida’s team was universally superior to the Thessalonians, prevailing 2-0 at the OPAP Arena.
In the competitive part now, Rasvan Loucescu does not count on Giannis Michaelidis who was knocked out, as in Vierinia and to Ekong, who is competing in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations against Nigeria, while Jimas and Soares were left out for tactical reasons. On the contrary, PAOK’s mission was integrated for the first time Yoni Otto.
As far as the “yellow and black” are concerned, AEK, as is usual recently, did not announce an assignment. However, there are no data Shimansky and Amrabadwhile one hour before the center it will be seen if there is any other last minute problem.
Possible compositions:
PAOK (Rasvan Lucescu): Kotarski – Sastre, Kenziora, Koulierakis, Baba – Ozdoev, Meite – Despodov, Murg, Tyson – Samata.
