We have two matches today for the Betsson Greek Cup, where we will find out the penultimate tickets for the quarterfinals! The teams that will go through today’s two pairings will compete in the eight.
At 17:00, Panionios will welcome Panserraikos to the stadium of Nea Smyrni, with the aim of overturning the 2-0 score of the first match and getting them the qualification. On the other hand, the Serres team wants to defend their score and “clean up” the case of qualification.
Panionios in the championship comes from the 1-1 draw with Chania and is in 3rd place in the standings and -7 behind the first Kifisia. Obviously, his main goal is promotion to the first division, but he wants to go as far as he can in the institution of the Cup.
Panserraikos, on the other hand, won 2-1 against Asteras AKTOR in the Stoiximan Super League and is in 9th place with 16 points. Juan Ferrado’s side are on the good side of the table and avoid the giants, so they will fight for their chances to reach the historic final.
Team missions:
Panionios: Giannakopoulos, Skafidas, Avlonitis, Dionellis, Bousis, Khrustinets, Bernardos, Prifti, Lavkas, Grondis, Nguem, Ginis, Tsornomaz, Cherisef, Alexandrakis, Gemistos, Noikokyrakis, Piergiakomi, Bourlakis, Seba.
Panseraikos: Katsikas, Tsombanidis, Karasalidis, Davidson, Hadakias, Papadimitriou, Koutsogoulas, Wage, Staikos, Perutsi, Kaptoum, Liassos, Terzic, Deletic, Alrasdi, Salazar, Sofianos, Gigits, Maskanakis, Thomas, Betancourt, Papavasiliou.

At 19:30 Asteras AKTOR will welcome to “Th. Kolokotronis” Zakynthos, with the first match ending with a score of 2-1. Obviously the Arcades need some quick goals to stay focused and keep a clean sheet against a team that, as it was shown in the first game, does not give up and fights until the end.
Savvas Pantelidis’ team, after the defeat by Panserraikos, is in 8th place with 16 points. And Asteras has a passable path in the Cup and wants to reach the grand final for the second time in its history.
