Matsara in Toumba for the 4th matchday of the Stoiximan Super League!

At 8:30 p.m PAOK will face him Panathinaikoswith the hosts looking to make it 4/4 and the visitors to get their 2nd win in the league.

So before the break, o PAOK had won 2-1 against Atromitos in Peristeri. His team Razvan Lucescu is at the top, tied with Olympiakos with 9 points. She wants to extend her streak and increase her distance from her current opponent.

The Thessalonians made moves until the last – literally – minute in the transfer market, with Dejan Lovren to be already in the co-capital to slowly integrate with the team. Of course, the experienced Croatian stopper is not eligible to participate in Europe until January, so he will be a reliable option for the domestic competitions.

THE Lucescu he cannot count on the injured person for the match Brandon Thomaswho has a very good tradition against the “greens” but will be absent. On the contrary, the two new transfer acquisitions, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Umar Koley they were included in the squad and it remains to be seen if they will get playing time.



PAOK’s mission in detail: Kotarski, Tsiftsis, Sastre, Otto, Kenziora, Michaelidis, Koley, Baba, Bakayoko, Kamara, Schwab, Ozdoev, Murg, Constantelias, Tyson, Soretire, A.Zivkovic, Despodov, Tisundali, Chalov, Samata.

On the other hand, Mr Panathinaikos drew 2-2 with Athens Kallithea at Leoforos. They already have two losses and just one win in the first 3 matches, which means they are -5 off the top. A possible loss today will send them to -8 and the pressure will be huge from the start. That is why they are looking, ideally, for the three-pointer that will give them the chance to make a good restart.

Of course, the “clover” will also bet on its excellent condition Ioannidiswhile we may see for the first time on the axis start the Arao, Maksimovich.
