Kickoff first leg 19.:45 EET Kickoff return 22:00 EET

Panserraikos will not use gate 8 in order for us to fill the stadium after Tuesday's crash of our fellow-PAOKtzides in Romania. Game is allready sold out. But there will be some people of Serres to bring a wreath and honor the lads that died.

A pity we will miss Delias (2 yellows yesterday), Giakoumakis (3 yellows during the League Phase) and Lucescu (red) in our homegame. But they will play in Spain. And we can make three substitutions in our list. Thursday February 5th is the deadline.

Celta again it is. First leg is on February 19th at Toumba. Return on February 26th away.

Finishing 17th gives us 2,000 points in the ranking. A quick recap of this years EL League Phase: We did well with 4 opponents from the big 5 leagues. In comparison: Panathinaikos only got one. And they finished below us despite playing 5 opponents that are elminated. We only have two of those opponents. To be exact. We played #1 and #4. 4 teams from #9-#24. And 2 eliminated teams. Pana played #8. 2 teams from #9-#24. And the 5 formentioned elimated teams. The draw is tomorrow, btw.

FT 4-2. We finished 17th. We will face Crvena zvezda (better known as Red Star Belgrade) or Celta (de) Vigo.

And there is the 4-2.

Camara our last sub. Ozdoyev subbed out.

Pff. 3-2 down. The player that missed the penalty was totally unmarked.

And now Mythou subbed in for Giakoumakis.

Giakoumakis had a yellow prior to the penalty. And our first sub: Despodov for Taison.

And Lucescu got a straight red card.

Penalty missed! On the crossbar.

VAR and penalty for them.

Meite 2-2

HT at all 18 matches. In the virtual table we are 17th now.

HT 1-1.

Two yellows Konstantelias in a few minutes and we are down to 10.

1-1.

7 fellow PAOK-fans died today in a car-accident in Roumania while heading for Lyon:

Draw is (postponed to?) February 2nd.

A dull weekend without PAOK playing. All the other teams had a day off too it seemed. 4 x a 1-0 win (including Olympiakos and AEK, the latter with a questionable after a push before the goal), a 0-0 (Atromitos missed a penalty against Pana) and a 2-2 between the skoulikia and Levadiakos. Top 3 not mathematically sure finishing top 3 but well, you know. Levadiakos 9 points clear of Pana (the Greens with 1 game in hand though) and a very very very serious contender for the last spot in the Championship play-offs. Next week we have Panserraikos at Toumba while AEK and Olympiakos meet eachother in the Agia Sophia Stadium. Too early to say what the best outcome would be for us, but with a draw they both drop 2 valuable points.

Draw for the play-outs is January 30th. MD 1 starts in the weekend of February 15th. Last MD April 26th.

FT 4-1. A pity Nestos won away in Karditsa, #3 in the table. We start like this in the relegation group: 5. ΠΑΟΚ Β 12 6. Καβάλα 12 7. Νέστος 9 8. Καμπανιακός 8 9. ΠΑΣ Γιάννινα 5 10. Μακεδονικός 3 PAOK B has the advantage against all opponents in case of equal points at the end of the season as the lads finished above all the other team in the regular season (PAOK B had 24 points and Kavala 23).

An early lead for the lads: 1-0 Balde
