Blackhawk

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.

Jaba needs to become more of a team player.

Paschalakis keeps us in the game.

Penalty now.

Another big save.

Big save by Paschakakis after a tragic Sastre mistake.

No penalty but it did look like a hand ball to me.

We have a pre-season friendlies history with the Belgian team: Also we have played KAA Gent on several occasions during our pre-season training Holland: 2017: PAOK - KAA Gent 0:2 2018: PAOK - KAA Gent U23 5:0 (Mauricio, Lambrou, Pelkas, Mystakidis, Limnios) 2018: PAOK - KAA Gent 1:1 (Jaba)

The dates and times for the games against Gent: 10-Mar-2022, 19:45 EET: PAOK - KAA Gent (Toumba Stadium) 17-Mar-2022, 22:00 EET: KAA Gent - PAOK (Ghelamco Arena)

Something needs to be done with those fans. I really doubt that they even pay for a ticket to get in. At the beginning of the game they hung up a banner at Gate 5 in support of the people that murdered the Aris fan. During the game the banner was moved to Gate 4. During all this time the security did not do anything to remove the banner. At the end of the game they opened the game and some of those fans got unto the field and allegedly stealing things from the Midtylland's bench. I am pretty sure there will be a serious punishment from UEFA.

They will appeal the decision.

Only two Dutch possibilities for PAOK. Alkmaar and Feyenoord.
