PAOK Saloniki vs Panathinaikos Athens Match Preview
PAOK and Panathinaikos clash at the Toumba Stadium in Thessaloniki on Sunday. It should be a high-charged affair as always from two of Greece’s biggest clubs. Panathinaikos will be looking for the three points as they continue their fight to defend the title. They will be without leading scorer Djibril Cisse who is suffering from an ankle injury. Scorer of 17 goals this season, more than half his team’s total output, Cisse’s absence could be crucial in this match.
PAOK celebrated a spot in the Greek Cup semifinals this week after a 1-0 victory over Olympiakos. It was a fine result for the club and showed that especially in cup competitions this is a formidable side. In league play, PAOK have all but wrapped up a playoff spot and will be looking to maintain third place as they look ahead toward the final stages of the season.
