PAOK 1:0 with Ingason.

Vieirinha in for El Kaddouri to start the half.

Panionios almost scored in the ending seconds of the first half. Big save by Zivkovic. The team was pathetic the whole first half. El Kaddouri appears to be playing injured and will most likely be subbed.

I am having a bad feeling about this game.

I don't see the new Toumba being built anytime soon. It will be a miracle if there is a new Toumba by 2025.

Players travelling to Nea Smyrni for the game: Πασχαλάκης, Ζίβκοβιτς, Μάτος, Ροντρίγκο, Βαρέλα, Κρέσπο, Ίνγκασον, Γιαννούλης, Βιεϊρίνια, Ντόουγκλας, Μαουρίσιο, Ελ Καντουρί, Μίσιτς, Εσίτι, Πέλκας, Μπίσεσβαρ, Λημνιός, Άκπομ, Σφιντέρσκι Stoch and Lambrou staying home once again.

Did a quick check on the establishments that ordered the commercial PAOK TV license and the current number stands at 1,077, including one establishment in Stuttgart, Germany.

Apparently the Saudi team will release Prijovic from his contract making him a free agent. Just saying.

I expect to see a similar game like Panaitolikos. If score one early it will end up with a similar score. I would start Akpom in this game over Swiderski.

Worst possible draw, but we should not have a problem.

Varela in for Matos

Great pass by Misic

Akpom

Limnios 2:0

Akpom, Kaddouri in Swiderski, Pelkas out

It will change when Biseswar comes in.

1:0 halftime Need to score one more to be safe. We did not play well after scoring the goal.

Why aren't you watching on ERT Sport?

Pelkas 1:0

The most PAOK fans outside of Greece are located mostly in Germany. There are not that many PAOK fans in the US and Canada. There are probably more PAOK fans in Australia (even though it does not exist). The problem there as noted by our friends from down under is the time when the games are played live, so we can't expect many subs from there. I would venture a guess that the subscriptions outside of Greece are around 3,000 as Yiankos points out. Definitely not more than 5,000.

For next European season we are already guaranteed 2 spots in CL and 3 in EL. For 2021-2022 we are almost 99.9% sure not to finish in 15th place, so it doesn't really much matter what Olympiakos does. The only good thing is that they will be busy with European game in between Superleague games. As it is the PAOK - Olympiakos game will be played in between the two EL games that Olympiakos will play (Thursday EL game, Sunday PAOK - Olympiakos, Thursday EL game). This can only be good for our team.

Glad to know there is at least one person that likes me. As for Larisa numbers I have not heard anything, but I think it would be safe to assume that the number is around 10,000 - 20,000 judging from previous similar games. As it is all those numbers are estimates anyway, unless PAE PAOK comes out with official numbers.

Petros Tsagarakis (Chania), the son of the ex-ref during the "paranga" days has been assigned to call this game. What is with all these ex-referee offspring's going into the refereeing trade? There must be some good money in that field.

@pash the commercial subs are around 1,000 (not 800). Not sure about the OPAP subs, but I think the 1,000 figure is a bit high.
