In… exotic Shrewsbury is hosted tonight (22:00, Cosmote Sport 5 & News Bulletin 247) the Panathinaikoswho faces the New Saints aiming for his first double in his league phase Conference League.
The Greens are coming off a 5-1-0 record in all competitions and took the lead in Europe with a 1-0 home win over Helsinki two weeks ago, with victory in the UK the only way to put the ‘cloverleaf’ on course for qualification.
The Welsh, for their part, have one win and three defeats in the tournament, so they too are looking for an advantage against the Greek club in order to stay in the game.
“We are a big team, you always play the next game to win no matter what is at stake. We are not here to make calculations, we are only looking at the next match.
New Saints have ambitions, they have a certain competitive philosophy, which we will have to neutralize” said at yesterday’s press conference Rui Vitoria, which does not count the patient Pelistriwho stayed in Athens, as well as the sidelined Sporar.
It is noted that this is the first time that New Saints will face a team from Greece, with Panathinaikos having played against Swansea in the 1989 Cup Winners’ Cup, reaching the 2nd round with one win (3-2) and one draw (3-3).
