PAOK hosts the Egaleo for his “16” phase Greek Cup (3:30 p.m., Cosmote Sport, sport-fm.gr, bwinSPORT FM), with the Dikefalos of the North already knowing that in the quarter-finals they will face AEK, who eliminated Aris.
THE PAOK he had won in the first match the Egaleo 3-0 and has turned today’s encounter into a routine.
A fact that will allow the Razvan Lucescu to make sweeping changes, as on the one hand he will give participation time to footballers who have not been active in the last period of time and on the other hand he will rest some.
Its presence should be considered a given Jiri Pavlenka under the goalposts instead of Dominik Kotarski, while there will be changes in all the lines, with the players who have been burdened a lot recently by the consecutive games to take a breather.
Something that seems necessary, with the PAOK to come from the unexpected draw with the Athens Kallithea in Toumba (2-2), which this year is, as paradoxical as it may sound, the Achilles heel of the team, since its last victory in its stadium was in August 25 against Panaitolikos!
The Romanian coach did not field Kotarski, Bakayoko, Vieirania, Coley, Baba, Despodov, Ozdoev and Keziora and is expected to field a completely different line-up against Athens Kallithea.
The mission in detail: Pavlenka, Monastirlis, Otto, Sastre, Lovren, Kottas, Michaelidis, Gomez, Thymianis, Kamara, Schwab, Murg, Constantelias, Tyson, Soretire, A.Zivkovic, Tisundali, Brandon, Chalof, Samata
On the other hand, the score (0-3) of the first match and the potential of the opponent may leave no hope for qualification, however Aegaleo is invited to present itself as competitively as possible.
Apostolos Charalambidis, wanting to rest the main body of the team in view of the continuation of the Super League 2 championship, left Kyritsis and Evangelos out of the squad, while the injured Ungialidis-Rekena are also out.
In fact, the management of Aegaleo secured tickets for the team’s fans, who will be accommodated in Gate 8 of the Toumba stadium, something that had also happened with the PAOK fans at “Stavros Mavrothalassitis”.
The mission in detail:
Tsimopoulos, Christodoulis, Tampas, Karriki, Tatsis, Kostopoulos, Gioulis, Bardas, Liofagos, Karvounis, Fofana, Babis, Voriazidis, Dimitriou, Varkas, Kourogiaouris, Tsoukalos, Dritsas, Paraskevopoulos, Nikoli.
Possible lineups:
PAOK: Pavlenka, Sastre, Lovren, Michaelidis, Gomez, Kamara, Soretire, Murg, Zivkovic, Tyson, Tisundali.
