The teams for the Round of 16 have been set: SEEDED TEAMS PAOK Olympiakos OFI PAS Giannina Asteras Tripoli AEK Atromitos Kissamikos UNSEEDED TEAMS (and possible PAOK opponents) Trikala (can't get drawn against them) Platanias Panathinaikos AO Xanthi Aris Lamia Panaitolikos Levadeiakos The draw will take place on December 20 at 11:00 EET.

I think he is safe as long as we are progressing in the cup and are on road to make the playoffs. I think the team has turned the tide, and will be getting results. The upcoming games are: at Kerkyra at Levadeiakos PAS Giannina at Larisa Levadeiakos PAS Giannina at Agrinio Tripoli at Xanthi These are all games prior to the first Schalke match. We will need to get as many points as possible during this stretch of games. On Saturday, if we are serious and play to our potetntial, the most likely scenario is a win for PAOK.

Seven of the eight possible opponents for PAOK for the Round of 16 are known: SEEDED TEAMS PAOK Olympiakos Iraklis, OFI, Apollon Smyrnis, Panathinaikos (will be decided tomorrow) PAS Giannina Asteras Tripoli AEK Atromitos Kissamikos UNSEEDED TEAMS (and possible PAOK opponents) Trikala Platanias Iraklis, OFI, Apollon Smyrnis, Panathinaikos (will be decided tomorrow) AO Xanthi Aris Lamia Panaitolikos Levadeiakos Bring on Aris.

And it's important that we are winning 7:0 as Trikala scored and are leading Larisa 1:0

7:0 Pelkas. Nice shot. So much for my prediction.

4:0 Mystakidis

Poggouras in for Varela. I guess we woke up inthe 2nd half. I predict a 6:0 final score.

Shakhov 3:0

Koulouris in for Klaus.

Pereyra 2:0

Klaus 1:0

It's not only Pelkas. Mystakidis has been disappointing as well. Same for Charisis. These players are not cut to be starters. They get chances to prove themselves, but they squander those chances. Might as well be playing with 10, since Klaus has been invisible. Pereyra poor as well. Shakhov probably our best player on the field.

There is absolutely no excuse why we are not winning right now.

Klaus is non-existent in the game. As for Pelkas there is a reason that only 3rd division German team would like his services.

Goal post by Shakhov.

Pelkas should have scored on that.

The possession must be something like 96:4 in our favor, but not a single scoring chance yet.

I thought Deligiannidis was a forward.

Ksorkismenos is AK aka I-nferno7. Blast from the past.

... or more. Depends on how many goals Trikala score in their win against Larisa. If they only win 1:0, than we need 5. If we are tied on points, and also on goals scored, then the tie breaker is who has the best defense. Currently we are tied in that event as well. So if we win 4:0, and Trikala win 1:0, we will be tied in all the possible tie-breakers. The final tie breaker is a play-off game to decide who finishes 1st. In any case, I hope Larisa at least ties Trikala and we don't have to worry about any tie breakers, assuming we beat Elefsina. In unlikely event that we do lose to Panelefsiniakos, and Larisa beats Trikala, we will be eliminated from the Greek Cup.

Why would you fear something that does not exist?

Even if we win there is a good chance that we will finish in second place and as result will not be seeded in the draw for the next round. If we win and Trikala also win, we will be tied with them. The tie breaker will the best offense, and right now Trikala have 5 goals and we have only two. This means that we should try hard to score as many goals as possible. Of course this will not matter if Larisa defeats or ties Trikala.

One good thing is that this time we will play them at Toumba with fans. Sold out no less. Chances of us qualifying are probably slim, but I think we will see two good games.

No Glykos or Brkic. Wonder if Vellidis plays ahead of Siabanis. I think Thiam's days at PAOK might be numbered.
