1ος όμιλος: 
ΠΑΟΚ, Λάρισα, Τρίκαλα και Ελευσίνα ή Ζάκυνθος.

Η πρώτη αγωνιστική θα διεξαχθεί στις 25-27 Οκτωβρίου και από τους ομίλους προκρίνονται οι δύο πρώτοι.

Στην πρεμιέρα, ο ΠΑΟΚ θα υποδεχθεί την Λάρισα, ακολοθούν τα Τρίκαλα εκτός έδρας και μετά η Ζάκυνθος ή η Ελευσίνα και πάλι εκτός έδρας. Άλλωστε, οι ομάδες της Super League θα παίξουν ένα ματς εντός έδρας και δυο εκτός.

Interesting fact is that PAOK will face PAOK ex-coach Aggelos Anastasiadis against Larisa, ex-player and ex-coach Georgios Georgiadis against Trikala, and if we end up playing Panelefsiniakos ex-PAOK players Thanasis and Christos Dimopoulos.

Our cup schedule is as follows:

October 26:      PAOK - Larisa
November 29:  Trikala - PAOK
December 13:  Panelefsiniakos or Zakynthos - PAOK

Well, you had one draw right (Giannina - Platanias). Not bad regarding the odds.

OFI's up 2-0 now, with about 20 minutes left. Was a real battle to get that second one in. Good news for us.

 

-edit- game ended 2-1, Xanthi progresses. Questionable non-PK call in Xanthi's favor in the last ten or so minutes. But them's the breaks. Xanthi looks quite beatable to me.

It pains me to think who is running things in EPO. What a joke of a tournament. The cup is supposed to provide suspense to the fans and allow the smaller teams to cause an upset and earn a bit of money. A two-leg encounter should be from the quarter final onwards and not from previous games. In my honest opinion I see EPO using the double game to give their red counterparts the opportunity to make amends should they mess up in the first game. Don't get me started on the group format before the knock out phase. Why are Greeks just co incapable or organizing anything?

I actually like the group format.  For the small teams it's a 100% chance to play a "big" team so for them it's a boon and for the big teams it's a chance to give players who don't get any or little game time some minutes on the pitch.

Well, first two competitors are all but assured - Panathinaikos beat Asteras Tripolis 0-1 (0-5 on aggregate) to book their place in the next round.

AEK is currently leading against a ten-man Platanias 2-0 at home (after a scoreless first round). Would be a huge upset if Platanias could steal a tie out of this.

It will be quite hard for Platanias, since they are playing with 10 after an AEK player dive in the box and penalty that gave them the lead. Looks like it will be the big 4 in the semis.
