PAOK hosts Athens Kallithea, wanting to build a winning streak.
The “Two-Headed of the North” faces tonight (19:00, Novasports Prime, News Bulletin 247, sport-fm.gr) in Toumba the team of Kallithea for the 13th matchday of the Stoiximan Super League, looking for the three points with which it hopes that it can even rise to the top of the standings, in the event of Olympiacos losing in Crete against OFI.
With a high morale after the victory against Rigas, their first in the League Phase of the Europa League, PAOK will look for a second consecutive treble in the league, after the 2-1 away victory they celebrated last week against Asteras AKTOR.
On the competitive side, Rasvan Lucescu is expected to make a number of changes to his starting line-up compared to his midweek game in Latvia, with Tyson back at his disposal as he fully recovers from injury and returns. On the other hand, the punished were left out of the mission Zivkovic and Archalong with the wounded, Vierinia, Thomas and Bakayoko.
