PAOK and OFI play in Toumba (21:00, Nuachit.gr, Novasports Prime) aiming to return to winning ways, with the hosts without the suspended Razvan Lucescu on the bench.
Another pioneer Super LeaguePAOK hosts OFI in Toumba, looking to return to success after the draws with AEK (1-1 away) and Viktoria Plzen (2-2 in Toumba for the Europa League).
The Cretans, with Milan Rastavacs now on their bench, are asked to respond after the victory at Panathinaikos, and so far they seem to be better away from home, than at “Th. Vardinogiannis”. The guests have 11 points and – perhaps – also the mind in the upcoming Cup game, with Volos.
PAOK has 17 points and roommate Aris is at the top of the scoreboard, in a competition – however – that the “yellows” are playing at home Panathinaikos.
Razvan Lucescu will not sit on the PAOK bench, due to the punishment he received for his behavior in the recent derby with AEK (Pantelis Konstantinidis will replace him). The Romanian coach did not include Tsalouf, Sastre, Soretire and Michaelidis in the squad. Nous and Bressan are not available for him at Milan Rastavac.
