Aris-Panathinaikos: A clash with a big “must” in Vikelidis

Clash with big “musts” at “Kleanthis Vikelidis” tonight at 19:30! In one of the most interesting matches of her 7th matchday Stoiximan Super League Aris welcomes Panathinaikos with both teams wanting, more than anything, victory, each for different reasons.

Aris, before the break despite the fact that he had started the season very well, Manolo Jimenezhe fell into two “traps” that landed him abruptly. The “yellows” even though they had a good image against Panserraikos, stayed at 1-1but then suffered a heavy defeat in “neutral” Tripoli, by a score 3-0 from OFI. In this way, he stayed in 5th place in the standings with 10 points and now he has to… gas up and maintain the tradition against Panathinaikos for the third consecutive season.

In the competitive part, the Spanish coach cannot count on Uros Racic and Carles Perez, while Lovro Majic was also left out.

The Mars Mission: Dioudis, Athanasiadis, Karai, Techero, Fatiga, Mendil, Friedek, Fabiano, Pedro Alvaro, Sudberg, Rose, Jensen, Modsu, Ning, Mizeoui, Dudou, Sisto, Morouchan, Moron, Cantevere, Alfarella, Gianniotas, Donis, Galanopoulos, Panagidis.

Same goal for Panathinaikos, who traveled to Thessaloniki to build a streak that will bring them even closer to the top. The “greens” are back in action after two difficult, but very important, victories against in Panatoliko and Atromito. The “clover”, with one less match, are in 7th place in the standings with eight points and want to have taken advantage of any loss that may occur for three points AEK and PAOK from the derby between them.

In a week of rapid developments at all levels, Mr Christos Kontisprepared his team properly and announced a squad from which Pellistri, Renato Sanchez and Dessers are absent due to injuries.
