The original Iraklis still exists and has the option to play in local amateur divisions.

I think it's about time we ended the 19 years without victory against Iraklis in away league games. 

[pash]

Wow, that's a crazy stat. If there's any time to do it, now's it.

[Blackhawk]

Shakhov will sit this one out due to cards accumulation.

[pash]

Panionios is playing Olympiakos this match day as well. A good chance to stake a claim on second place.

I think our strongest lineup is pretty clear. Only question mark is who between Crespo and Malezas will get the start. Great that these three have all been playing so well. Kace seems like he still needs to develop some chemistry with this new-look team, I'd say give Charisis the start there.

 

               --Glykos--

 --Matos--Varela--Malezas--Leovac--

         --Cimirot--Charisis--

  --Mistakidis--Warda--Henrique--

              --Prijovic--

[Blackhawk]

Panionios will definitively bend over for their master. As it is all the players with card issues will sit this game out.

I like your lineup pash, but I would not put anything past Ivic. He might be taking into account our two upcoming games against Xanthi and Olympiakos, when he fields Sunday's lineup.

[pash]

True. As long as we don't go wingerless again, I'll remain confident.

[Dutch Eagle]

Time to beat the Gries. 

This season is decided. We know the champion. Just finish top 5. All clubs lose a lot of points. And at the end 5 points difference is just one point on the PO. 

If Ivic will rest some one I'm OK with that. All for the glory of the cup.

Leovac went home early from training due to a viral infection, he may be questionable for this game.

Mistakidis had a minor injury vs Schalke and trained separately today. I bet we won't see him until the cup game.

On the plus side, Canas is coming up on the end of his rehab and should be training normally soon. Open question whether or not he'll be available vs Olympiakos (hopefully he will be).

[Blackhawk]

Mystakidis was left of the squad for the game. Canas is out too. Leovac is questionable and will be a game decision if he plays.

Squad for the game:

Γλύκος , Μπρκίτς,Κίτσιου , Λέοβατς , Μάτος , Κρέσπο , Βαρέλα , Μαλεζάς , Πούγγουρας ,Τσίμιροτ , Χαρίσης , Κάτσε , Πέλκας , Μπίσεσβαρ , Ενρίκε , Κάμπος ,Ουάρντα , Πρίγιοβιτς , Αθανασιάδης  

Also Sport Plus on their web site does not list the game even though they show Iraklis home games. Instead they have a B' division game scheduled in that time slot. Looks like stream again.

[pash]

Something tells me we'll see Henrique on the right side over Campos...

[Athens4]

Παίξτε μπάλα ρε κοπρόσκυλα!!!!!!!

[pash]

Leovac good to go.

Matos Malezas Crespo Leovac

Sport Plus is showing B' Division game from yesterday instead of this game. Aklautoi stream it is then:

[Blackhawk]

Warda and Biseswar in the same lineup. Interesting.

[pash]

Great quality on that stream.

doesnt seem to be working mate

You need to create an account.

[Blackhawk]

Iraklis the better team on the field so far.

If the ref does not start showing some yellows, there will be injuries to PAOK players in the game

thanks blackhawk , i'm an idiot

 

[pash]

You are a special snowflake and don't you let anyone tell you otherwise, file

[Blackhawk]

Biseswar needs to come off. His head is not in the game.

Some of these hits are way over the top

[pash]

Great pass to Prijovic, he just couldn't quite control it. Henrique's being shut down, Blackhawk is right that Iraklis is playing better
