AEK-PAOK: Krichoviak against Europeans

Biceps derby in the second match of the playoffs with AEK to welcome PAOK to OAKA (19:30, COSMOTE TV, News Bulletin 247 and sport-fm.gr). The psychology in the classes of both groups is on the rise for different reasons, but the goal is common.

The hosts want the victory both to maintain a position of power against Aris and Panathinaikos, who face “Vikelidis”, and to put an end to poor tradition of the last four years against PAOK, against which they count only one victory in Toumba. Socrates Ofridopoulos will throw directly into the deep the great acquisition of the team, Gregorz Krichoviak, who, after all, has both the quality and the racing readiness to respond. Simoes, Le Talec, Gevtic and Svarnas will be out of the battle for the “Union”, but Livai Garcia, who overcame the virus, is finally available.

The mission in detail: Tsintotas, Stankovic, Mohammadi, Rota, Michelen, Vranjes, Mitoglou, Tzavellas, Hadjisafi, Simanski, Francon, Krihoviak, Mandalos, Sakhov, Amrabat, Garcia, Ansarifar, Tsaarifar.

THE PAOK comes from great qualification to the quarterfinals of the Europa Conference League with a second victory over Ghent , but although he is separated by a long distance from the first and the third place, he will not be indifferent in OAKA. However Razvan Lucescu has again a mountain of problems to face, as out of battle are the injured Crespo, El Kantouri, Michailidis, Swab and Mihai, while in addition there were two cases of players who are also knocked out. The Romanian coach, who did not announce a missionwill necessarily recruit Varelas, who has been playing since December, in a key role.

AEK has to beat PAOK at home from November 5, 2017, 1-0 (25 ‘shot Livagia). Since then, PAOK has gone undefeated six times for the championship, with five draws and one victory. If we add both Cup games, PAOK’s unbeaten run reaches eight games. In fact, if we count the two finals of the Greek Cup at “Spyros Louis”, PAOK is undefeated in its last 10 games with AEK at this stadium! In total, however, the “Union” has 46 victories as hosts in the league, PAOK only 8, while 15 matches ended in a draw.

Possible compositions:

AEK (Ofridopoulos): Stankovic, Michelen, Tzavellas, Vranies or Mitoglou, Mohammadi, Krichoviak, Simanski, Amrabat, Mandalos, Chuber, Araujo.

PAOK (Lutsescu): Paschalakis, Sastre, Varela, Ingason, Siddklay, Kurtic, Tsigaras, Zivkovic, Murg, Mitritsa, Akpom.
