Blackhawk

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.

I would take draw, then PAO win in that order.

Good win. Still in the hunt for 2nd place and much closer to European spot.

What the hell are we missing

After scoring the goal we just sat back and let Aris dominate the game. They did not really create any chances and it was actually PAOK having a great chance with El Kaddouri to score. We will need to get more control and possession in second half in order to slow Aris down.

so close El kaddouri

Schwab 1:0

Oh no! The white jerseys. Don't believe we won a game this season wearing that jersey.

Except that Varela is playing instead of Ingason. Ingason is not even on the bench.

Looks like they re-deigned PAOK e-shop web site. Looks much better now. https://store.paokfc.gr/

I think we will go with 3-4-3 again. Main thing is not to lose this game. We then have two more games within 7 days, with the cup game being the most important one next Wednesday, so I am assuming some players will need a break, including our muslim players which can't eat food all day.

Doesn't mean a better coach will take over.
