Derby No 19
February kicks off with yet another demanding test for PAOK. The encounter against AEK Athens feels like a final, but actually all 18 previous league matches were equally important…
There are three more points on the line for the “Double-Headed Eagle”, three more points edging PAOK closer to winning the league. Every match now is a final, every match has its own importance.
The football section of PAOK wrapped up preparations for their encounter in the Olympic Stadium of Athens with a training session focused entirely on tactics.
Răzvan Lucescu cannot count on suspended Dimitris Giannoulis, while José Alberto Cañas continues working on his own and is ruled out of the encounter. On the contrary, Pedro Henrique joins the squad for the first time since returning to the “Double-Headed Eagle”.
The Romanian tactician picked the following 18 players for the clash against AEK Athens:
Rey, Paschalakis, Μatos, Varela, Crespo, Toșca, Vieirinha , Shakhov, Maurício, Mišić, Biseswar, Pelkas , El Kaddouri, Jabá, Limnios, Henrique, Akpom, Świderski.
