It may seem like a lie, but Super League 2 is in the spotlight. After a five-month period, when once again even the holding of the championship was called into question, the match between Veria and PAOK II begins today (15:15, ERT 3).

Financial problems, of course, remain, and it is not known how many teams will be able to hold out until the end. The marathon will be played in two groups (North-South) of 15 teams each and the big difference compared to last year is that the two champions will be promoted directly to Super League 1, replacing the bottom two in the main division who will also be directly . There will be no playoffs, no playoffs, no playoffs. The bottom four from each group will be relegated to the 3rd National League, while the second Big Four teams (Olympiakos, Panathinaikos, AEK, PAOK) will not be able to advance or be relegated.

Judging by how the teams performed in the transfer window, there are two big favorites in each group. In the northern group stand out AEL in the era after Coya and Panserraikos. The victories of Volos and Hercules also seem to be reinforced. To the south of Apollo Sm. and Kalamata have financial comfort and a complete squad, while Kallithea and Kifisia are strong underdogs.

Two groups in detail: North: AEL, Almops No., Anagennisi Kard., Apollon No., Apollon P., Veria, Diagoras, Herakles, Herakles No., Thesprotos, Makedonikos, Niki B., PAO B’, Panserraikos, PAOK B. South: AEK B’, Egaleo, Apollo See, Episkopi, Iliupoli, Herodotus, Kalamata, Kallithea, Kifisia, Olympiakos B’, Ofierapetras, Panachaiki, Pao Ruf, Proodephtius, Chania.
