A very spicy menu with a classic derby and three difficult away games for the rest of the top teams is offered by football 2023 at its beginning, in the 16th round of Super League 1. Undoubtedly, tomorrow’s PAOK is brightest of all – Aris na Tumba, and therefore both compatriots remain in a double-digit lead from 1st place, the hottest matches are today in Livadia and Ioannina, where Panathinaikos and AEK will be tested respectively, five days before their Hagia Sophia clash on Sunday. Olympiacos also has an away mission with a lower difficulty factor compared to the last-placed Ionian side.

In the shadow of two straight draws at the end of his (excellent) 2022, Panathinaikos is aiming to get back on winning ways to enter Sunday’s derby with at least 4 points of air from AEK. With the victory over Ionikos, Levadeiakos has pulled away from the last two positions and wants to take advantage of the leader’s stress to climb up the rankings. Newcomer Poits will get playing time, conditions permitting, in a game with all 2,500 tickets sold at Panathinaikos, which has many more people on its side. In the transfer plan, the Greens have agreed with the 26-year-old international (he played in all 3 matches for Mexico in Qatar) right winger Uriel Aduna and are negotiating with Cruz Azul, who, according to the Mexican, is offered the media, 600,000 euros in as a loan until the summer with a €4 million mandatory option if it appears in certain locations.

AEK is furiously heading towards Ioannina after two straight wins that cut his lead from the top to -4, where he will face PAS who got a point from Olympiacos, Lamia in the first two matches of the second round. According to Bosnian media reports, in fact, Union is close to 22-year-old midfielder Benji Kikanovic, who has played 32 games in MLS this year.
