THE Olympic missed a big chance to pass third in the standings, get closer to second place and maintain chances for the title by staying 1-1 with Aris yesterday in “Vikelidis”. Piraeus were superior, however they paid for Doe’s individual error which set them back on the scoreboard and their woes as they lost several phases to take the lead or to then reverse the score.
Now the Piraeus, after the first draw in days Jose Luis Mendilibar, remain fourth, at -8 from AEK having one less game, the one against PAOK that they will play on May 12 in Toumba. The hopes of winning the championship are not yet lost, but realistically they are now slim. The “red and whites”, however, will try to win only in the remaining games, with the initial goal of avoiding the fourth place that will endanger European participation, if Aris wins the Cup.
Starting with Sunday’s match against Lamia at “G. Karaiskakis” (17:00). There the Basque coach is expected to proceed to wide rotation guarding many or even… all of the players he will target as starters for the match against Aston Villa in England for the semi-finals of the Conference League next Thursday.
Besides, tickets for the second leg against Aston Villa on May 9 are on sale today.
