[Blackhawk]

Akpom will most likely miss the game.

I predict that Matos will score in this game.

[BostonThanatos]

Crespo and Paschalakis are due for goals....lol

[Dutch Eagle]

Jaba, Akpom and Biseswar are questionable for this game due to (minor) injuries.

[Blackhawk]

For Jaba and Akpom we have replacements. Unfortunately Biseswar will be needed in this game.  This will be a physical game with a lot of fouls. Let's if the ref will let the Larisa players get away with it.

[pash]

We'll be fine. Biseswar is not God!

[Yiankos]

Sure, just when he is not playing we wish he would play...

[pash]

Canas seems to have sprained his quad. Seems minor and fortunately we have plenty of depth in that position. I'm not going to claim a conspiracy, though!

[Blackhawk]

No need to claim conspiracy. From what I understand Canas himself does not want renew his contract and wants to return to Spain.

[Athens4]

Absolutely fine with that.

[italosPAOK4]

nikh kai 3 bathmous PAOKARA PRWTA8LHTH 2019 !!!!!

[pash]

If our fans show up to this match, what are the potential punishments?

[Blackhawk]

None, since we officially will  not get tickets.

In other news concerning the game, Henrique is injured and will miss this game and possibly the Levadeiakos games as well. Biseswar returned to practices. Jaba will return to practice tomorrow. Akpom now practices with a cast on his hand and is questionable for Sunday.

[Yiankos]

Να γεμίσει το γήπεδο από ΠΑΟΚτσήδες!

[pash]

You've gotta be kidding me...El Kaddouri is also questionable for this game.

 

So assuming Jaba, El Kaddouri, Biseswar, and Henrique are not available, we're looking at the below (still very strong) lineup:

 

                 --Pashalakis--

--Matos--Varela--Crespo--Giannoulis--

          --Shakhov--Oliveira--

     --Limnios--Pelkas--Vieirinha--

               --Swidersky--

 

Might see Karelis make the squad again, after all.

[paokarag4]

Jaba and Biseswar trained fully so they'll be playing no need to worry. Feel like we might drop points in this one, a few players out Larissa will be gunning to delay our title celebrations by a week, has scrappy draw written all over it. 

[Yiankos]

Άσχημες οι θλάσεις του Ενρίκε και του Ελ Καντουρί. Χρειαζόμαστε κάθε παίκτη για αυτά τα τελευταία παιχνίδια. Ίσως δεν τους ξαναδούμε αυτούς τους δύο να παίζουν με τον ΠΑΟΚ;

Διπλό με τρέλα!

[pash]

Was there any actual talk about Henrique being renewed? I know I mentioned it a few times but it was really just me hoping. I don't think I've seen anything at all about it (though I would sign him again in a heartbeat).

[Blackhawk]

Henrique is signed until June 2020, but a most likely scenario was that he would be loaned out again.

Here is my lineup:

----------------- Paschalakis -------------------
Matos - Varela - Crespo - Giannoulis
--------- Oliveira -------- Shakhov -----------
Limnios ------ Biseswar ------ Vieirinha
------------------- Swiderski ---------------------

[Dutch Eagle]

Οι 18 παίκτες που θα ταξιδέψουν για τη Λάρισα είναι οι:

Ρέι , Πασχαλάκης , Μάτος , Γιαννούλης , Βιεϊρίνια , Βαρέλα , Κρέσπο , Ίνγκασον , Μίσιτς , Κάνιας , Σάκχοφ , Ολιβέιρα , Μπίσεσβαρ , Πέλκας , Ζαμπά , Λημνιός , Σφιντέρσκι , Καρέλης .
