The showdown OFI-Ionian in the «Θ. Vardinogiannis » opens on Saturday (19/3, 15:00) the program of their 1st match playouts of Super League 1. Two teams that want to keep everything they won during the regular season.
The Cretans in the end – due to the decision to return the points to PAS Giannina – did not manage to enter six. However, they are in first class of the special championship (at +2 from Asteras Tripolis) and they want to stay there until the end. In this effort, they want to take advantage of their home, where they are running a winning streak of three games.
On the other hand, Ionikos finished in 11th place (5th in playouts) having a safety distance of eight points from the penultimate Lamia and 13 points from the tail of Apollo of Smyrna. Competitively it is on a good moon and wants to build on it, in order to quickly ensure its stay. He remains undefeated in his last three away games.
Without Toral, Kastanios, Wes and Kamaou, OFI will line up, which will announce its mission on the day of the match. The people of Nicaea traveled to Crete in armor, with the “cut” from the mission (Valente, Matsoukas, Macheiras, Christodoulis, Pogosian, Bassa) being a purely regular choice.
