Against the backdrop of the Cup final

Before the noise of what happened on Saturday night at G. Karaiskakis” and in the derby between Olympiacos and Panathinaikos, tonight we have another important date ahead of us for the 2nd match day of the semi-final phase of the Cup, with “red and white» greet her AEK.

The union goes to Faliro with a 3-0 cushion from the first game in Agia Sophia and is the one who has the first reason to get into the May final. Matias Almeida wanted to lower his tone, saying that there are still 90 minutes of the match ahead, during which anything can happen, as he knows very well that not only the qualifications play in this semi-final, but also the psychology of the two opponents, taking into account their last matches of the championship. If his team manages to get another victory over Olympiacos, it essentially sends them the signal for a matchup that will follow again in New Philadelphia in the regular season finale of the championship. The Argentine coach has announced a mission with all 25 players he has, but he is being asked to find a solution for the pinnacle of attack, as Levi Garcia and Van Wert are missing.

On the other hand, Olympiacos will have to climb a mountain today, as the difference in the first leg does not leave them many chances. The Red-Whites are determined to fight to wear them out, because even if they fail to cover the three-goal difference, they want to win in order to mentally recover from the “hot” final in the championship. Going into the derby with Panathinaikos is certainly a landmark, but this time his charges will have to finish off the chances they create. Mitchell can’t count on either the injured Hames or the suspended Papastathopoulos again.

In today’s other match for the institution, ghoul welcomes him PAOKin the first game between them, which was postponed due to bad weather in the city a few weeks ago.

Great battles in the league for the top spot and tail to avoid relegation.

Protests continue in Piraeus over the decisions of the Portuguese Pineydos in the match against Panathinaikos, culminating in Brusai’s disallowed goal in the last minute of the match, and yesterday they also reacted violently to the appointment of Aliyar Agageev from Azerbaijan in today’s semi-final.

However, despite the votes, following the results of the 24th race, the race continues with undying interest both in the top and bottom of the standings. With the point gained in Faliro, Panathinaikos has reached 55 and is waiting for the 25th game against Panaitolikos and on the last day they play in Peristeri against Atromitos. AEK, who beat Asteras 2-0, now has 53 points, and the decision on the appeal against Atromitos is pending. On Sunday he travels to Heraklion to play OFI and in the last game he has Olympiacos. The Red-Whites (50 p.), except for the derby with Enos, play on Sunday against Levadeiacos in Faliro. Finally, PAOK (48 b.) has the most tolerable schedule of the four, as they play Ionikos at Toumba and away with Volos.

The situation is similar in the queue, where three teams are fighting for a place in the sun. Ionikos (15 b.) suffered a 2-0 home defeat by OFI and has a rather difficult task, as he plays away with PAOK, and in Neapoli with Asteras. After a 0-0 draw with Panaitolikos, Levadeikos reached 14 points, but now he moves to G. Karaiskakis”, and on the last game day they greet OFI. Finally, Lamia scored a point in Volos (1-1) to reach 13th, but she also has a tough task as she will be playing inside with Ari and outside with Panaitolikos.
