Olympiacos and Panathinaikos clash on Sunday (6/10/24, 20:30) in the big Super League derby, with Jose Luis Mendiliber hoping to bring his side down with tactics similar to the match against Braga. Uncertain who will replace the injured Chiquinios.
It’s time for the first eternal derby of the Super League, with Panathinaikos and Olympiacos facing off in a highly anticipated match. The Piraeus players, coming from the emphatic victory against Braga, want to beat the “greens” as well to go to the break of the championship with the best possible momentum.
For his part, Panathinaikos, who are not going through their best season, are aiming for a big result in the derby, so that they can flip the switch.
Jose Luis Mendiliber has set up Rodney on the right wing in his team’s last two games, with Brazil performing impressively. Something that is expected to happen against Panathinaikos as well, and that the Spanish coach is not expected to “motivate” his eleven.
After all, the appearance – performance against Braga allows Mendiliber to make no changes, and the only question mark is who will step into the shoes of the injured Ciquinho who will miss the derby. Oliveira looks set to take on that role, while Mouzakitis is expected to start in another game.
From then on, Tzolakis will be in goal, with Kostinia-Retso-Karmo-Ortega in defence. Ese is certainly the only defensive midfielder, with Velde competing on the left wing of the attack and El Kaabi leading the red and white attack.
Willian, like Masouras, has little chance of breaking into the starting XI.
