Lamia-Panathinaikos: A difficult mission in Fthiotida for the in-form “greens”

Panathinaikos for the six-point victory in Lamia!

Just a week after the meeting between them in Leoforos and their victory with a score of 3-1, the “greens” are hosted by the Fthiotida team at “Athanassios Diakos” (17:00, Cosmote Sport 1, bwinSPORT FM, sport-fm.gr) in the framework of 6th round of the Stoiximan Super League playoffs.

The two teams have different goals, with Lamia already having the best season in its history and Panathinaikos wanting to remain within a “shooting distance” of the top, or even climb to it in the event of a loss of points, PAOK and AEK.

Lamia is obviously the tail end of the playoffs process counting five defeats in as many matches and will try to find a reaction in tonight’s match.

On the other side, the “clover” wants at all costs to leave with the “double” from the capital of Fthiotida in order to remain alive in title chase. He “must” it for his team Fatih Terim it is big, since everyone is working hard towards the goal. After all, Panathinaikos’ score collection does not extinguish hopes, as in five matches in the playoffs process, it counts four wins including three by upset.

However, the “greens” do not want to get into adventures and will aim to clean up the match quickly in order to eliminate stress and manage ahead of the derby Wednesday (24/4) with AEK at OPAP Arena.

The coach of the team is expected not to proceed with radical changes in the eleven. His name was entered on the “green” absentee card Filip Djuricic, who was left out due to discomfort he felt in the calf, but also Zeka, Ugo, Geremegev, Palasios for competitive reasons. On the contrary, the Turkish coach brought him back after two months Aitorwhich cannot be ruled out to take participation time.

In the Panathinaikos team are: Lodgin, Dragovski, Lillo, Vaiannidis, Juancar, Ruben, Ioannidis, Bakasetas, Sporar, Bernard, Limnios, Cerin, Mancini, Jedvai, Aitor, Mladenovic, Kotsiras, Vilena, Arao, Verbic, Akaidin
