In a game to be played in camera. It is recalled that, through a barrage of announcements, the DEAB announced that the cameras in “Athanassios Diakos” they are not fully functioning as the new law requires. For its part, of course, the Fthiotida team claimed that the Police did not respond to their repeated calls to go to their stadium and confirm the placement of the cameras. In fact, AEK through its own announcement, after explaining that it had secured the opening of a stand to meet the needs of its fans, stressed to its friends to respect the final decision and stay away from “Athanassios Diakos”.

As far as the matches are concerned now, the “yellow and black” have a double goal. On the one hand to get the three points, on the other hand to make use of any losses resulting from the two derbies that will be held later in the day (Olympiakos-Panathinaikos and PAOK-Aris). Besides, in the context of the last game of the regular season, the “Union” drew 3-3 by Mars in “Kl. Vikelidis”, conceding the equalizing goal at 90’+7′ with Moron’s penalty, after she had previously committed a reversal in the reversal. Thus, it fell from the top that was maintained for three matches, now at -1 from “the bicep of the North,” at +2 from Piraeus and to +3 from “clover”.

On the other hand, the hosts are preparing to give the first game in their history in the playoffs. Last weekend, Leonidas Vokolou’s team made it difficult for him PAOK in “Athanassios Diakos”, however, he eventually bowed in the 71st minute, only to lose in the end 2-0. A defeat, her third in a row, which did not cost her, as she had secured her participation in the mini-championship from the penultimate “turn”. Of course, the goal of the Phthios – located in -8 from 5th Mars- is to present as good and competitive a face as possible.

In the competitive part, the two teams did not announce a squad for the match. However, given the facts, AEK goes into the game without the suspended player Cumber and the wounded Amrabad, Fernandes, Gacinovic and Ziniwhile Levia and Mukudi have returned.
