Kerkyra vs AO Xanthi Match Preview
Two slumping teams meet when Kerkyra and Xanthi play on Saturday. Kerkyra began their campaign in fantastic form, but the team has cooled off in recent weeks as they have endured two straight defeats.Still, the goal this season for the club was to avoid relegation and that appears like an objective that should be achieved. What makes Kerkyra’s season all the more remarkable is that they don’t even have the luxury of playing on their own home ground. The team’s home fixtures have been played in Patras due to renovations to their own stadium.
Xanthi find themselves at the bottom of the pack, tied for last place on 7 points. Losers of 3 of their last 4, the club are looking for a new manager after the departure of Giorgos Paraschos. Amongst the big names being thrown around for the job is Spanish coach Jose Angel Ziganda.
The potential capture of the former Osasuna and Xerex manager would be a coup for Xanthi if they were to pull it off. Established foreign coach or not, Xanthi have it all to do if they are to turn their season around and start climbing up the standings.
Kerkyra vs AO Xanthi Match Report
Two injury-time goals was all the action in an otherwise poor 1-1 draw between Kerkyra and Xanthi. In a match of few chances, Kerkyra stole a point with Ivica Maijstorovic scoring an equalizer four minutes into added time.In a forgettable match, the ending was what was memorable. Xanthi surely must have thought they had claimed three crucial points in their fight against the drop when Thodoris Vasilakakis finished from close range two minutes into injury time.
Just two minutes after that however, Kerkyra equalized through Maijstorovic’s bundled effort. The draw leaves Kerkyra on 13 points in 5th place, while Xanthi are in 15th place with 8 points.
