PAOK-Levadiakos: Both are looking for an “antidote” and a return to victories

A critical match in Toumba with the aim of returning to winning ways and boosting morale! Tonight at 19:30 (Novasports Prime, sport-fm.gr, bwinSPORT FM) o PAOK will host Levadeiakos in its framework 20th round of the Stoiximan Super League with both teams looking for a reaction after their last negative results.

On the one hand, PAOK may come from an important European victory in the Europa League against Slavia Prague, but within the borders things are not developing in the best way. The champions of Greece are at -9 from the topsince in the last three matches they have two defeats and a draw, which makes the need for the “three points” even greater.

The “two-headed” wants to take advantage, among other things, of the crookedness that one of them will have Olympiakou and Panathinaikou who will cross their swords a little while later, the moment he feels… his hot breath Asteras AKTORas the Arkades have reduced their distance from the Thessaloniki team to three points.

In the competitive part, Lucescu coached the team with… arrivals, since during the week Pelkas, Meite, Vietesca were announced and integrated into the team! Instead, Koley, Lovren, Michaelidis, Zivkovic, Gomez, Schwab, Bakayoko, Murg, Samata and Brandon Thomas were left out for different reasons.

PAOK’s mission: Kotarski, Pavlenka, Vieyrinia, Otto, Sastre, Kenziora, Vietska, Thymianis, Baba, Meite, Kamara, Ozdoev, Penia, Constantelias, Pelkas, Tyson, Soretire, Despodov, Tisundali, Chalov

Levadeiakou’s task, on the other hand, is clearly not easier. The Viotia team has, in general, presented a very good face, especially in the away matches with the “big ones”, since it counts draws against Olympiakos in “G. Karaiskakis” and with AEK at OPAP Arena.

The neophytes they will attempt to do something similar and to put behind them the “hard” defeat by Ásteras AKTOR. The set of Nikos Papadopoulos, can be in 12th place with 18 pointshowever, it is generally accepted that this particular harvest does not reflect its total presence.

In the competitive part, Levadeiakos traveled to Thessaloniki without the suspended players, Balci and Romowhile they have been left out due to injury Tsapras and Pedroso.

Levadeako’s mission: Garavelis, Anaker, Groff, Liagas, Hana, Kassos, Verris, Bichos, Eramouspe, Katris, Havales, Moreira, Plegas, Mechia, Kosti, Tsokai, Lamarana, Symelidis, Gianniotas, Ozbolt, Zini.
