Ketsetzoglou: “AEK is the favorite, it is important to take advantage of its headquarters – What about the international players”

THE AEK will take a big step towards winning the championship if it uses its home ground in the playoffs, starting with the derby against Olympiakos on March 31, as emphasized by Kostas Ketsetzoglou to News Bulletin 247. “For me AEK are favorites, I always thought they were, but they will play a big role to take advantage of their home ground“, he emphasized.

He then referred to the many internationals who will be absent for days from Spata. “Levi will go for the match against Canada on March 23, it is a very important game because they are claiming qualification for the Copa America. Pineda is playing 21 and 24 for the USA against Mexico in the Nations League Final 4. They will have several days to get back, get over the jet lag and train. Cullens is the only one who has already left for his national team. He will play the second game on the 26th of March and will only return for the derby against Olympiakos on the 31st of the month, but Mukudi is ready. Gacinovic has already been called up, we’ll see if he goes to Serbia because he’s coming off an injury. The worst thing will be if he has a relapse because he is missing time and it is very important with the restart that he is ready because three derbies are coming up. Fernandes and Amrabad will be back by then“, he said.
