Football Results

This season has finally brought a change in the Greek football championship, and Olymiacos is no longer dominant, but it is much more interesting and it seems that we should look for a new champion between these two teams, given that they are currently holding the first two positions. PAOK had a terrific situation, and then the derby with Olympiacos in Thessaloniki was interrupted, and they were defeated in the last round, while AEK’s results are also changeable with the elimination from Europa League. In the first part of the season AEK celebrated against PAOK with 1-0.

PAOK Thessaloniki

Only two rounds were enough to spoil a lot for the team of PAOK and now the fight for the title of the champion is more complicated. It all started in the derby against Olympiacos, which they excluded from the fight for the first place. However, the match was marked by fans’ riots and PAOK was blamed, and they will lose that duel with 3-0 at the “green table” and they are also announcing that three points would be subtracted.

After that they have also suffered a defeat in the last round by Asteras in a shocking finish when they equalized in the injury time and immediately received another goal for the final 3-2. It was only their third defeat in the season, but it was very painful and cost them dearly. They do not have too much trouble when it comes to their team, but it is important to say that they will not have support from the stands because they will play in front of the empty stands.

Probable lineups PAOK Thessaloniki: Paschalakis – Matos, Varela, Crespo, Vierinha – Shakhov, Mauricio – Djalma, Pelkas, Mak – Prijovic

AEK Athens

All these events that have cost their host dearly, now offer a great opportunity for AEK to come to a title of the champion for which they are waiting for more than two decades. They currently have two points more than PAOK, but if we really take three points from the team from Thessaloniki, that is five points more before this derby. This team has lost only two matches in the championship, and the last one was in late October last year. They also played in Europa League where they did not lose any of the eight matches and after the opening win they even played seven draws.

Two against Dynamo Kiev have cost them elimination, due to a goal they received on their field. In the Cup, AEK reached the semi-finals and they lost their first duel from Larisa with 2-1. Prior to that, they have played 1-1 with Atromitos, and they have celebrated against Panionios with 1-0 in the previous round. Coach Jimenez has rotated a team a little bit lately, and Chygrynskyi, Johansson and Mantalos have been injured.

Probable lineups AEK Athens: Tsinotas – Galo, Vranjes, Lampropoulos, Hult – Galanopoulos, Kone – Christodoulopoulos, Livaja, Bakasetas – Araujo

Verdict:

PAOK is now under great pressure and somehow it seems that everything goes in the wrong direction for this team that has all the so far solved all the matches to their benefit, but now there are no fans and it is a chance for AEK to get at least a draw that would satisfy them. We do not expect a lot of goals in this match.
