Crespo and Tsiggaras suspended for this one. 

Some players need to be carefull in order to avoid suspension in the play-offs. 

[Blackhawk]

The players in question are

A. Zivkovic - 6 cards
Douglas - 6
El Kaddouri - 3
Mitrita - 3

To be on the safe side I would not even start Zivkovic and Douglas, since they will miss 2 games in the playoffs if they get yellow cards.

El Kaddouri and Mitrita will miss only one game if they are carded so it's not such big deal.

After the end of regular season all accumulated cards are erased going into the playoffs.

[Blackhawk]

We need to win this game in order to have a chance to increase our lead over AEK and Aris in the standings. AEK playes against Tripoli at home, but Tripoli still has a chance to make  the playoffs so they will try hard to win. As for Aris, they play Olympiakos and we already know the end result. So with a win we could go into the playoffs with +10/+11 points ahead of AEK/Aris.

[pash]

El Kaddouri hasn't played in like two years and yet somehow still has three cards

[paokarag4]

When he does play he takes out his frustration on his injury prone genes on fit and healthy opponents

[Blackhawk]

Squad for the game:

No Douglas but Zivkovic is in. Hopefully he will only get 20-30 minutes of play in order to minimize the chances of being carded. Also no Crespo and Lyratzis. Probably being rested for Gent.

It's been raining for two straight days in Lamia, so the pitch will probably be in very bad shape.

[Dutch Eagle]

Lineup:

Πασχαλάκης, Σιντκλεϊ, Μιχαηλίδης, Ίνγκασον, Σάστρε, Σοάρες, Σβαμπ. Ελ Καντουρί, Μουργκ, Ζαμπά και Τσόλακ.

[Dutch Eagle]

It is raining cats and dogs in Lamia.

[Dutch Eagle]

Yellow Michailidis.

[Dutch Eagle]

Goalllll. Jaba. 0-1

[Dutch Eagle]

Yellow card El Kaddouri.

[Dutch Eagle]

HT. 0-1 in the municipal swimmingpool of Lamia.

[Blackhawk]

One more to lock the win and we are ready Gent.

Don't understand how Kaddouri accumulated 4 cards. Did he even play 4 games this season?

[Dutch Eagle]

Easy to get four cards if you make stupid fouls 60 meters from the goal or are "talking" to the refs while you know there isn't one ref in the world that will listen let alone change his discission. Even if you play just a few games.

[pash]

Second goal, Michailidis

[Dutch Eagle]

Great header Michailidis and 0-2.

[Dutch Eagle]

Jaba just wide

[Dutch Eagle]

Vieirinha subbed in for Sidcley at HT btw.

[pash]

Why would Lucescu be putting Zivkovic on? What possible reason is there to play him when we're up 0-2

[Dutch Eagle]

Paschalakis misses the ball and they hit the post.

To get that two games suspension?

[Dutch Eagle]

And he is coming in along with Mihaj. Murg and Ingason subbed out.

[Blackhawk]

Only reason to get him into playing form for the Thursday game since he missed a lot of playing time.

[Dutch Eagle]

Soares subbed out. Kurtic coming in.
