AEK’s dangerous outing at Panthessaliko against Volos and PAOK’s test at Peristeri against Atromitos are two matches that stand out from the main menu of the 15th round of Super League 1, which takes place today. The two winners of the resumption of the race a week ago hope to keep their achievements: now Enos has reduced the distance to the top, and Panathinaikos to six points, and the “Two-headed North” managed to overtake Olympiakos and climbed to 3rd place.
Trailblazer Panathinaikos, after losing in Neapoli and 1-1 with Ionikos, has nowhere else to throw points in a crowded Leoforo against an OFI who is trying to catch his breath, and every point is also super precious. Ivan Jovanovic has brought back Benjamin Verbitz and Bart Senckefeld after missing the game against the Ionians, but it is likely that only the Dutch centre-back will be in the starting lineup.
In Panthessalikos, AEK, with the support of about 5,000 fans, wants to end the year with a win so that there are no defeats until the 17th round, when it takes the “clover” in Agia Sophia, in a match that can resemble the “final” for both teams. Of course, Volos is not just an easy task, as he is having a great season that has lifted him to 5th place.
In Peristeri, PAOK gives the second away match in a row, as this is due to the “double” of Agrinio, which raised them to the third step of the standings. On the other hand, Atromitos edged out Jedi Cole in the previous round and is chasing another win to get closer to the top six.
OFI meets Panathinaikos, and Asteras tou Manziou Olympiakos – a derby in the “tail” with Levadeiakos – the Ionians.
Olympiacos, who welcomes Asteras Tripoli, also wants a victory that will help them both on points and psychologically. The Red-Whites are coming from a shock draw like they did at Zosimades with PAS Ioannina and if they don’t get three points today they will essentially be relegated from the start. On the other hand, Arcades, who has changed coach (Mantzios instead of Metaxas), is looking for his breakthrough in Faliro.
Finally, in Livadia, local levadeiakos welcome Ionikos in a tails derby. Both teams achieved very important results, as Aris brought the hosts to a 1-1 draw, while the Ionians managed to keep Panathinaikos with the same score in Neapoli.
Schedule of the 15th round: (28/12) Levadeakos – Ionikos (17.00), Olympiakos – Asteras Tripoli (18.00), Volos – AEK (19.30), Atromitos – PAOK (20.00), Panathinaikos – OFI (21.30). Tomorrow: Aris – Panaitolikos (18.00), Lamia – PAS Ioannina (18.30).
