OFI-Volos: Both want the victory in order to jump into the top eight

For the fourth time this year they will face each other OFI and Marblewith the Cretans welcoming the Voliotes at Gedi Koule (18:00, Cosmote TV, sport-fm.gr, News Bulletin 247) for its 16th matchday Stoiximan Super League.

Both teams are looking for the win, which will cement them in the top eight of the league and make them very important contenders for places 5-8, leading to the European playoffs.

Tonight’s hosts won the first round 3-1 at “Panthessalikos”, while at the same time they eliminated the team from Magnesia in the “16” phase of Greek Cup.

However, excluding the comprehensive 5-0 win against Panachaic for the quarter-finals of the Cup, OFI is having a hard time in their games, with their last win in the league being about 2 months ago, against PAOK in Toumba.

THE Milan Rastavac he is looking to find a way to wake up his team and a win against Panachaki might give the team the confidence they need to get them back to where they were in the early stages of the season.

THE Eddie Salcedo he returned from Saturday (21/1) to a normal training rhythm after the contusion he suffered and the team coach chose to include him in the squad. Adrian Riera were confirmed, as the Spaniard underwent an imaging test on the hamstrings of his left leg and was diagnosed with a grade 3 contusion.

OFI’s mission:

Christogeorgos, Naumov, Marinakis, Gondhaleth, Abanda, Hatzitheodoridis, Christopoulos, Lampropoulos, Silva, Bresan, Karachalios, Apostolakis, Bakits, Koutentakis, Neira, Fountas, Sengela, Theodosoulakis, Nous, Jung and Salcedo.

On the other hand, Mr Marble has started to find a rhythm with him Costa Bratso at the helm and although the image of the team on the pitch is not the best, the results are coming.

Just like it happened the previous matchday, where Voliotes defeated at home Asteras ACTORwith his team Pantelides to be clearly better and to be wronged by a 2-1 final.

The results are what count, however, and Volos has reached the point of fighting for its entry into the playoffs for Europe! Tsokanis, Altman and Miletic they were left out of the mission against the Cretans.
