This one could be tricky - riding high after a few wins, against the team that is in fourth place, creamed Larissa, and had a fighting chance vs AEK. Should be able to win this at home, but mentality has been our main problem for a while now...

(at least, main problem excluding a bad defense)

[Dutch Eagle]

Kedziora will miss this one due to safety protocols after a head-injury.

Camara might miss this one too.

[Dutch Eagle]

No squad announced. But Ozdoyev and Taison are available. 

Pelkas on the other hand is not. He managed to hurt himself in 10 minutes against Lille. Chatsidis is out too.

Here is the lineup:

 

[italosPAOK4]

nikh kai 3 bathmous

[Blackhawk]

Giakoumakis barely misses.

[Blackhawk]

0:0 halftime,

This has the makings of a disaster in the end. I can see one counter attack by Volos deciding this game. We just can't create any real scoring chances. Konstantelias needs to come in as soon as possible.

[Dutch Eagle]

HT 0-0. Clear better team and possession but not able to score. 

[Dutch Eagle]

GGGGOOOOOAAAAALLLL Giakoumakis

[pash]

Wowowow what a spectacular goal by Giakoumakis

[Blackhawk]

Finally!

[PaokCT]

Hopefully this leads to the flood gates opening

[Dutch Eagle]

Vogliacco and Konstantelias subbed in for Lovren (looks injured) and Ivanusec. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Stupid yellow Meite 75 metres from our goal.

[Dutch Eagle]

According to the reporter Lovren catched fever during the match. 

[Blackhawk]

Need to score another one or we are facing a repeat from last season.

[Dutch Eagle]

Kenny subbing in for Sastre and Zivkovic for Despodov.

Is that the reason?? My stream started cutting out right as the guy started talking about it. How strange...

[Dutch Eagle]

First action Kenny is losing control of the ball and commiting a foul and yellow for him.

[pash]

Smooth by Ozdoyev for the 2nd

[Blackhawk]

2:0 Ozdoev

[Blackhawk]

3:0 Ozdoev

[Dutch Eagle]

3-0!!!! Ozdoyev with the brace

[Dutch Eagle]

Baba our last sub just before the 3-0 btw. Taylor out.
