The “yellow and black” (3rd, 7th) they are aiming for victory, with which on the one hand they will take advantage of the results of their competitors (Olympiakos draw with Panaitolikos and PAOK and Panathinaikos draw in Toumba) catching the “red and white” and the “black and white” in first place.
On the other hand, this will be their first home victory in the league this year in front of their audience, as in the premiere against OFI (3-0) they faced a penalty, while in the 2nd round came the blunder (1-1) against Lamia. This is where they want to “reward” their friends, at the same time measuring steady steps of competitive progress. It is recalled that “Union” went into the break having prevailed 3-0 upon him Levadeikou in Livadia, where they received significant support from their fans.

On the other hand, Mr Volos (12th, 3rd) before the stoppage he suffered his second league loss, losing 3-1 from the OFI at the Panthessal Stadium.
