So close by Kedziora.

Not a bad lineup. The only thing that worries me are the four players (Kenny, Meite, Zivkovic and Mythou) that had over two months to play a competitive game. Hopefully they are in good shape. I am expecting Konstantelias to have a big game.

Big game tomorrow that we need to win at any cost. If we lift the cup, we will secure Europa League playoff round and automatically also League Phase in Conference League in case we get eliminated in the Europa League. Only players that won't be available tomorrow are Lovren, Despodov and Giakoumakis. My lineup: ---------------- Pavlenka -------------- Sanchez - Kedziora - Michailidis - Baba ------ Meite ------------ Zafiris -------- Zivkovic ---- Konstantelias ----- Taison --------------- Mythou ----------------

PAOK - Bilbao 79:73 In the first game of the finals. Second leg in 7 days in Bilbao.

2:1 win against Kambaniakos. Nex and final game of the season: Play-Outs: Round 10 26-April-2026, 15:00 EEST Kalamaria - Apollon Kalamaria Stadium PAOK Thessaloniki 'B' - Makedonikos Neapolis TV: Action 24 TV

With relegation avoided, the last two games will just be fun games. First against Kambaniakos on Wednesday: Next game: Play-Outs: Round 9 22-April-2026, 15:00 EET Chalastra - Kambaniakos Stadium Kambaniakos Chalastra - PAOK Thessaloniki 'B' TV: Athletiko.gr

One day after the big cup final, our girls will also play against OFI in a league game: WOMEN'S FOOTBALL LEAGUE - Round 23 26-APRIL-2026, 17:00 EEST Iraklio - AK Vardinogiannis OFI - PAOK Thessaloniki TV:

I am afraid Giakoumakis might have played his last game for PAOK. By the time he is fit (one month), the season will be over.

If Zivkovic starts, than Mythou will probably be the starter as the youngster, although I heard today that there is a possibility that Chatsidis might be used as a striker in this game. Either way, the team needs to show up and play. OFI is a much better team than Volos and Larisa, teams that we could not beat lately. Their biggest threat is Nuss. We need to contain him. He is also prone to receiving red cards, so I would place somebody like Sanchez on him in order to frustrate him.

The Sweden friendly has been confirmed: June 4, 2026, 20:00 EEST: Sweden - Greece ( Strawberry Arena, Stockholm)

Aggelos Evaggelou from Athens has been designated as the ref of the final.

Happy Birthday PAOK

One game remaining in order to salvage this season. If we show up like we did against Panathinaikos and AEK, we will not win the cup. OFI will be hungry and will try to take advantage of our bad form and low psychological state.

What a disaster.

2:0 Our defensmen just standing and watching. Another prediction. OFI will win the Greek Cup.

The plan was to keep the game 0:0 and and then go for the win in 2nd half. Obviously that is not happening. I can't see us turning this around. More likely scenario is AEK scoring on a counter instead of us creating any scoring chances. My prediction is 2:0 final score.

Next game: Play-Outs: Round 8 18-April-2026, 15:00 EEST Kalamaria - Apollon kalamaria Stadium PAOK Thessaloniki 'B' - Nestos Chrysoupolis TV: Sportal.gr

Today Zivkovic took part in full practice and Meite and Kenny in partial practice. Looks like all three will be in the squad for the game.

Zivkovic started limited practices. Probably won't be ready for this game, but hopefully he will be able to play in the cup final. Despodov is out for the season.

Important game to determine if we are still in the hunt for the title. Nothing but a win is what we need.

How about Chalov?

R.I.P.

The final schedule is as follows: 22-Apr-2026: PAOK - Bilbao Basket 29-Apr-2026: Bilbao Basket - PAOK

Well AEK lost 3:0 in the first match, so it looks almost impossible to advance to the semifinals. This also means that we lost the race for the 10th place to Czechia. Currently the rankings for the next season (starting in July 2026) are as follows: Our starting points in July of 2026 can increase to 40.412 if AEK gets a win against Rayo next week.
