AEK welcomes Aris to the “OPAP Arena” (20:30, Cosmote TV, sport-fm.gr, bwinSPORT FM) for the 13th and last matchday of the first round Stoiximan Super Leaguein the first of two matches they will play in just four days, as the rematch of the cup follows on Tuesday (03/12).
A very crucial match, after all both have been hurt in their last games and are looking to get back to winning ways on the one hand and on the good appearances on the other. Both to stay close to the top, and to regain their lost… flame.
The Union is coming off a very poor showing in the ‘C. Karaiskakis” and lost hands down to him Olympicwith the 4-1 final looking… flattering to their players Matias Almeida.
Yes, in statements he made the Argentinian coach emphasized that he believes that AEK can win the championship and when for some reason he stops doing it, then he will go on vacation.
The landscape around the eleven remains cloudy, however there will be several changes compared to the last match. Unless unforeseen, Mukudi, Simanski, Pineda and Eliasson will return to the starting line-up, while the position of the left back is also a puzzle, as it is not excluded that a conventional left back will play there as well, with Hadjisafi, however, having the lead.
According to his regular tactics, the Two-Headed Man has not announced a squad, from which Eric Lamela is definitely out, because he saw the red card in Faliro.
THE Mars on the other hand he is asked to manage an unprecedented condition for him in the season, as he comes from two consecutive defeats, against Panaitolikos and Volos.
In both matches, he has many complaints from the referee, however this fact does not negate the fact that the image presented by Akis Manziou’s team was not satisfactory.
THE Aris has done exceptionally well in derbies this yearcounting two wins and a draw and wants to return to positive results against AEK with an appearance-statement that the previous two matches were simply a bad bracket.
The Greek coach has kept his cards under wraps regarding the starting line-up and it is possible that he may spring a surprise and line up a team with a mixture of starters and substitutes, given that the all-important second leg of the cup follows, in which Aris is called upon to overturn the 1-0 loss of the first match.
The Mars Mission: Cuesta, Sitclef, Mayo, Montoya, Fatore, Friedek, Brambetz, Fabiano, Rose, Veleth, Darida, Sifuentes, Modsu, Garcia, Sisto, Suleimanov, Saverio, Diadi, Zamora, Moron, Fetfatzidis.
Possible lineups:
AEK (Matias Almeida): Strakosia, Rota, Vida, Mukudi, Hadjisafi, Szymanski, Pineda, Eliasson, Mandalos, Martial, Levi Garcia.
