AEK-Kifissia: For the “three points” in the packed OPAP Arena, “Enosas”, with… the visitors leading the first round

To combine the return of her world to OPAP Arenawith its own return to victories – which may lead it to the top in the finale of the competition – will be sought by AEK on Sunday afternoon (18/2, 19:00).

The “Union” welcomes Kifissia in the context of the 23rd “turn” of the Stoiximan Super League, with the New Philadelphia stadium reopening its doors – after 76 days – after the completion of the measures and of course it is expected to be full.

The match will be televised from Cosmote Sport 1 HDradioed by News Bulletin 247while there will be live updates from sport-fm.gr.

For one AEK (49b.)whose last winning streak – with wide victories in fact (5-0 in Peristeri, 3-0 in OFI and 4-2 in Asteras) – came to an end in Toumba (1-1). Although they were superior after 15′ and while they took the lead in the 47th minute with Eliasson, the “yellow and black” were under pressure in the last part of the “double-header” derby, seeing PAOK to equalize in the 89th minute with Kenziora. So they stayed at -2 from the Thessalonians, falling at the same time to the 3rd place.

However, after yesterday gela (2-2) of Panathinaikos (51b.) with Lamia, they have the opportunity not only to overtake the “greens” again, but also to take advantage of the result in derby of PAOK (51st) with Olympiakos (44th) later (20:30), so that they will be at the top (for the first time in the current season as far as the final of the competition is concerned), alone or together with ” bicep of the North’ (of which they are equal in superiority). In any case, on their part, as a first step, they want to do it 4/4 until the end of the regular season.

At the same time, Kifissia remains penultimate with 16 points, +3 from PAS Ioannina and -1 from Volos. With Kosta Bratsos now on the bench for two games, it counts a “double” (1-2) against OFI, while last Sunday (11/2) it stayed at 0-0 welcoming him Bullet in a stay derby. Of course, he might get the game on paper, after Andreas Tettei’s complaint about a racist attack by Achillea Beo. It is recalled that the trial of the case was postponed until next Thursday (22/2).

On to the racing part now. First of all, for the “two-headed”, who did not announce a mission, Matias Almeida does not count on Shimanskywhich counts down to his return (most likely to happen the next matchday against Lamia), in Ponce who has taken leave due to a serious family problem, as well as to Vida and Rota. The Croatian stopper has been declared to serve. From there and during the week he followed a deloading program, just like Rota. The Greek full-back has been playing in red for the last month, wanting to help (something that is highly appreciated by the “yellow and black” staff), so now there was an opportunity for a little relief. On the contrary, they overcame the problems faced by the Amrabad, Latch and Fernandes /strong>, in order (the Spanish midfielder took out yesterday’s program) and are available for the Argentine coach.
