After… an almost 40-day break in the power of the World Cup, Super League 1 puts on its holiday clothes and returns people to the stadiums just before Christmas with the program of the 14th round and the 1st round. second round. Unprecedented by Greek standards, such a long break creates a stressful situation in terms of time, as a result of which the players spend their holidays in the stadiums and not with their families, as has been the case in recent years. By the end of 2022, the 15th round will take place, and immediately with the beginning of the new year and by January 8, two more matches will be played!

Today’s menu includes five games in the program of doubling and confrontation of the first in the standings “Panathinaikos” against the lagging “Ionian” at the stadium “Neapolis”. The Greens will compete without the injured Verbitz, Schenkefeld and for the first time in a mission with 22-year-old Teresio as an alternative to Juancar on the left flank, after Gania’s absence for the next quarter. The hosts made a splash by sending an invitation to KED President Stephen Bennett to attend the match. Panathinaikos go to Neapolis with a significant difference in points and want to continue with the almost unerring pace they had before the break.

AEK is hailing Lamia as a firm favorite despite having important omissions, the most notable being the absence of Gacinovic, who had a successful abdominal operation yesterday and will be out for 4-5 weeks. According to Almeida’s decision, the last training session took place not in Spata, but in Agia Sophia, so that the players could better adapt.

The bar is set higher for Olympiacos as it will be tested in Ioannina tonight against PAS, which is flying low this year but remains dangerous at home. The Red-Whites are aiming to launch a big counter-attack on new bases, with the peculiarity that none of the players who were in the eleven of the same match in the first round will be in the starting lineup today! Kasami will also be on the mission.

A strong test for the trailblazer Panathinaikos in Nice against Ionikos.

Of particular interest is the match between Levadekov and Ari, five days after the game between them for the Cup, where the team from Thessaloniki won at the same stadium with a score of 2:1, and a duel between Asteras Tr. and Hair. to be very one-sided, despite the big difference in the score between the two opponents.
