After 20 years we meet Olympiakos in a Greek Cup Final. Let's hope the result is the same as the one back in 2001.

Zivko 2:1

can't let AEK score now. All they need is one goal.

krmencik 1:1

We are not qualifying. We can barely walk out there.

The missed penalty was the turning point. Now we really need to score.

it was just a matter of time

WTF Vieirinha

penalty

We should be 2:0 up by now. Hope we don't pay for it in the end.

Crespo, El Kaddouri, Kagawa, Pereyra, Mihaj will miss the game. I am assuming Garcia will stick with his new formation tomorrow. My lineup: ------------- Paschalakis -------------- -- Vieirinha -- Ingason -- Michailidis -- Rodrigo ------------------------ Baba ------ Douglas ------ Schwab -------- Tzolis ---------------------- Zivkovic ------------ Swiderski --------------

I think it's in the league, which is good. I want him to play in the final as he is a liability. I also want Avraam to play.

Olympiakos is the first finalist beating PAS 3:1. This means that team finishing 4th in SL has a guaranteed spot in Europe.

3:1 final score. Unfortunately PAS lost the qualification in the first game when they had 2 clear chances to put the game away while they were leading 1:0.

The longer we can keep clean sheet, the more chances we will have to score as AEK will open up their game. If we can score an early goal, even better.

First degree sprain for El Kaddouri. He will miss 15 to 20 days. Might be able to make the cup final if we qualify.

This will be a tough game. Hopefully we are not fooled by the fact that AEK will be missing some very key players.

Paschalakis in the last two games saved our ass. We could have easily tied with Aris and lost to Panathinaikos.

Two more points down the toilet.

Krmencik in for Swiderski

We has some attempts at goal but all weak efforts. PAO had none but I am afraid they will find one lucky one in 2nd half as they had done all season against us.

Warda, Crespo and possibly Zivkovic out for this game. Also if I was Garcia I would rest couple other players considering we have the important cup game coming up. All Finnish crew for this game led by Mattias Gestranious who called several PAOK games in the past.

That's bad news. We will be left with a thin selection of CB's, including Varela who hardly played this season and slightly injured Ingason. On a good note Mihaj today took part in full practice, but will need couple weeks to be game ready. At least he will be available as a backup. In other news A. Zivkovic came down with high fever today. Two COVID test were negative which is good new, but I don't see him playing Sunday.

AEK - PAO 1:1 final score. The table: 2. PAOK 57 3. Aris 57 4. AEK 55 5. PAO 50 With a win on Sunday we pretty much end any hopes of European spot for Panathinaikos.
