Tsiggaras and Felipe Soares to miss the game. Good news is that Tsiggaras's injury is not broken ribs and he might be able to play in Scotland next week. As for Soares his injury is still being monitorred, but he is expected to miss at least 2 weeks. There porobably will be more changes in our lineup for this game. For one I expect Soares to start instead of Baba, since Baba will not play against Hearts. I also see either Lyratzis or Sastre replacing Kedziora as RB. As for midfield I expect the Ozdoev, Schwab duo, since I don't believe Lucescu will risk throwing in the youngsters Vrakas or Giaxis. There were rumors that the game might be postponed, but it appears that this will not be the case. More likely it's the next weeks game that is a candidate for postponement.

Some May think we lose, but we are the favorites according to the betters. Also due to coefficients. Being better doesn’t mean we win though

them. personally I think we overestimate our abilities. we try and play a possession passing game but don't have the class to pick teams apart. hearts can and will counter attack at pace. our defence is slow and if we allow them space we will suffer. I hope I am proved wrong

100% us, all day and all night. Though I did catch the last three minutes of yesterday's game and the limey was waxing poetic about how passionate their friends were. Good lord they'll be eaten alive...

Us and it’s not even close. They work hard, but they aren’t a good team. If we play to our best we easily win this leg. Their best player is Shankford, valued at 1.3 mil.

Konstantelias is the real deal!

Every year, they get knocked out early...

Does PAOK actually produce P&L statements? It would be interesting to see. I'd be surprised if Savvidis isn't tens of millions in the red in his "investment" in PAOK. I think others forget before Savvidis our wages to players were *much* lower and even those measly amounts were often not paid in full. Players leaving the club unpaid and often we'd underpay them just so they could leave. Fire sales. A back office that was for the most part more a kafeneio than a modern professional club. Debts, lots of debts. Short term memory loss maybe. What was I talking about? If Savvidis were to leave and we went back to the old ways, the Athenians would *REJOICE*. As would sadly, a bunch of "PAOK" fans. It's ok to be frustrated at our lack of improvements since the title win. But to want to return to the old days ... insanity. In the meantime, I am trying to tee up a zoom meeting with Mitsotakis and PAOKSYD. Proving to be a bit harder than I thought.

I think this is a classic case of “be careful what you wish for.” Sure, PAOK have stagnated a bit the past few years and the news on Nea Toumba has been very slow, but PAOK are certainly in a better position with Ivan today than they were without him 10-15 years ago.
