[Dutch Eagle]

Andrija Zivkovic is suspended for this one.

[Blackhawk]

And so is Akpom for the red card he got in the cup game.

[Blackhawk]

Panaitolikos announced 13 COVID cases today. The game will most likely be postponed.

As a result Akpom's red card will carry over to the game against AEK on Sunday.

[Dutch Eagle]

Game officialy postponed by SL.

opote kai na paiksoume nikh kai 3 ba8mous !

[Blackhawk]

Game rescheduled for January 12 at 17:15 EET.

[Blackhawk]

Starting lineup:

[PaokCT]

Would love to see Jaba and Colak come in and make an impact

[Blackhawk]

I am just surprised we are starting a player(s) that are apparently leaving the team.

[paokarag4]

It is surprising to see Rodrigo in the squad let alone starting. Perhaps Sidcley was one of the many who had COVID and they felt he wasn't ready to start? Potentially the same issue with Vieirinha.

I'm calling it now, Colak will come on score

[Dutch Eagle]

Only thing we know for sure is that the lineup and bench do not have covid. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Penalty!

[Dutch Eagle]

Kurtic misses....

[Blackhawk]

Not starting 2022 very well.

[Dutch Eagle]

Biseswar missing his first competitive match this season btw. He could be one of the cases.

[Dutch Eagle]

VAR. Penalty. And 1-0 Kurtic

[Blackhawk]

This time Kurtic makes the penalty.

[paokarag4]

Olympiakos/Aris/AEK fans are going to be melting down with 2 penalties in the first 30 mins?

I think they are both there, the 2nd one just then the Panetolikos defender is a bit unlucky because it hits his chest first but the way his arm comes up and is away from his body you are running the risk. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Good strike Tsiggaras. Great save Melissas.

Like that dude on Twitter who is an Asteras fan who keeps tagging me

[Blackhawk]

We are dominating but need that second goal to be on the safe side.

I guess we should change the footballing laws to say PAOK isn't allowed to win any penalties? Ask him if that would suit him

[Dutch Eagle]

Lyratzis saved our ass there!

[paokarag4]

Yeah we are struggling to see this game out, seems our form from the late December matches has carried on until now. 

On the plus side Jaba has looked positive since he came on, running at and beating defenders.
