Blackhawk

Only reason to get him into playing form for the Thursday game since he missed a lot of playing time.

One more to lock the win and we are ready Gent. Don't understand how Kaddouri accumulated 4 cards. Did he even play 4 games this season?

Actually 2:1

Squad for the game: No Douglas but Zivkovic is in. Hopefully he will only get 20-30 minutes of play in order to minimize the chances of being carded. Also no Crespo and Lyratzis. Probably being rested for Gent. It's been raining for two straight days in Lamia, so the pitch will probably be in very bad shape.

He better claim injuries.

2021 - 2022 Season: Round 22 (06.03.2022, 14:45 EET - Makedonikos Stadium, Efkarpia) PAOK Thessaloniki 'B' - Apollon Pontou TV: no coverage

We need to win this game in order to have a chance to increase our lead over AEK and Aris in the standings. AEK playes against Tripoli at home, but Tripoli still has a chance to make the playoffs so they will try hard to win. As for Aris, they play Olympiakos and we already know the end result. So with a win we could go into the playoffs with +10/+11 points ahead of AEK/Aris.

The players in question are A. Zivkovic - 6 cards Douglas - 6 El Kaddouri - 3 Mitrita - 3 To be on the safe side I would not even start Zivkovic and Douglas, since they will miss 2 games in the playoffs if they get yellow cards. El Kaddouri and Mitrita will miss only one game if they are carded so it's not such big deal. After the end of regular season all accumulated cards are erased going into the playoffs.

Red card Tsiggaras

Starting lineup:

I am fairly sure the fact that he is now 3 years older has more to do with his decline than his cool haircut.

Now that Russia is banned by UEFA, Greece moves to number 14 position in the standings.

Situation yellow cards going into the playoffs: 6 - Zivkovic, Douglas 5 - Michailidis Going into the playoffs the accumulated cards are being erased at the end of regular season and everything starts from scratch. However if the players reach 7 cards in the next two regular season games (AEK, Lamia), they will need to serve the 2 game bans. This means that those players need to be careful not to receive any cards in those two games in order to be clean for the playoffs.

He will probably rest on Sunday as well so he can be ready for Europe and playoffs.

Squad for the game: Zivkovic out with COVID.

Looks like every team fires their coach prior to their games with PAOK. Giannikis out at AEK.

Akpom and Murg are back and taking part in full practices. They will be available on Wednesday.

The Czechs have one team left, but Slavia Prague plays a very weak team and will most likely advance to the next round. Good scenario if Slavia advances is for PAOK to be drawn against them and eliminates them. As for Turkey and Denmark, both have tough games and might not be in the competition after this round of games.

The game is on Wednesday. We are ahead of them by 7 points. With a win we make it 10 and are set for easy playoffs.

El Kaddouri renewed last June. He is set for few years. I expect him to have a good playoffs stretch.

The postponed game from last week will be played this Wednesday: 2021 - 2022 Season: Round 13 (02.03.2022, 15:00 EET - Dimotiko Stadio Neapolis, Volos) Olympaikos Volos - PAOK Thessaloniki 'B' TV: no coverage

Well one of them has COVID. I think it's Zivkovic. As it is he need needs the rest.

We have not created a single scoring chance in the second half.
