Its preparation continues at a very intensive pace AEK for the decisive replay of the third qualifying round of the Conference League, next Thursday against Noah at the OPAP Arena (20:30).
Things became complicated for the “Union” after the defeat in Armenia (3-1) and there is no room for error in the rematch if the “yellow and black” want to keep alive the goal of qualifying for the League Phase. After all, Noah showed that she is not joking by starting with a 5-0 away win over Chirac the new Armenian league yesterday afternoon.
THE Matias Almeida leans towards making several changes, from two to four, compared to the first match. It should be considered safe to use it Hadjisafi instead of Cullens at the left end of the defense, while favorites for the basic formation are also Pereira, Lamela and Koita. If any or all of them are chosen to play from the beginning, it will mean that Pineda, Ljubisic and Gacinovic will be on the bench respectively.
Regarding the other positionsthings are more or less clear. Strakosa in goal, Vida-Mukudi stopper with Rota right back, Simanski defensive midfielder, Eliasson right winger and Garcia center forward. However, we will have a clearer picture of the Argentinian coach’s thoughts as we get closer to August 15 and the big day of the replay, with “Pelados”, of course, keeping in mind that the league premiere follows on Sunday (22:00) against OFI, but also that in case of qualification, AEK will have immediately after the games with Hajduk or Ruzoberok in the playoffs of the Conference League.
