Greece vs Russia Preview

Greece currently share the 8th position in the FIFA World Ranking with UEFA Euro 2012 playoffs contenders Portugal. Russia are 5 places behind the Greeks in the standings but in Friday’s friendly, both teams will be on equal terms at the beginning of the match.

Greece’s cocach, Fernando Santos, wants to use the encounter as an opportunity to try out a few talents. The Portuguese man included 17-year-old goalie Stefanos Kapinos in his roster.

Defender Kostas Giannoulis, midfielder Giorgos Theodoridis and newly-acclaimed Greek citizen Jose Holebas have all been lined up to earn their first cap.

Georgia vs Greece Preview

Greece made the most of their penultimate game against Croatia last Friday. Thanks to a solid performance, the Euro 2004 champions downed their opponents with 2 goals from Samaras and Fanis Gekas during the final moments of the encounter.

It was vital for the Greeks to enter the 10th Matchday of the UEFA Euro 2012 qualifier with a 2-point advantage over second-placed Croatia. They won’t need to depend on the result of Croatia’s game against Latvia. Tickets for an automatic spot in Poland-Ukraine are theirs for the taking.

Greece vs Croatia Preview

A year ago, when Croatia and Greece met in Zagreb, neither side managed to kill the other. The match ended in a goalless draw and a repeat of such a result will be more beneficial to Group F leaders Croatia this time out.

However, it will emphasize the importance of each team’s very last Euro 2012 qualifier. On October 11, Croatia will host Latvia whereas Greece will end their campaign away to Georgia.

In fact, next Tuesday’s matches will lose the “thriller factor” if Croatia beat Greece on Friday. A 4-point gap will seal the Croatians’ UEFA Euro 2012 qualification as group winners.

Violence Forces Football To Go On Break In Greece. Has The Greek FA Got It Right?

On Friday, The Associated Press reported that Greece’s self-suspension is set to start on Monday, June 6. This means that the Galanolefki will have the chance to pursue their Euro 2012 qualifying campaign this weekend as they have been scheduled to host Malta.

Sofoklis Pilavios, who expressed his ambition to save Greece’s football from the “influence of hooligans, violence and match-fixers” called for the body’s executive to cast votes. The process resulted in a 49-7 result as the FA won the right to go ahead with the suspension. Commentating on the issue, FA chief Pilavios affirmed:

Greece Super League Preview: Week 6 (May 15-25)

Even though Panathinaikos had the advantage going into the playoffs as the club began the round-robin group with 3 points, Jesualdo Ferreira’s men have been in poor form. They have been overtaken at the top by AEK who have continued their recent upswing in form by winning two of their first three matches in the playoff phase.

After three matches, AEK lead the standings with 8 points, followed by PAOK in second place with 7 points. Panathinaikos are in 3rd spot with 4 points and Olympiakos Volos just a point behind in 4th with 3 points. All the clubs are still in contention for 1st place in the group which will give one team a spot in the next season Champions’ League qualifiers.

Here are mini previews for the final three matchdays of the Greek Super League playoffs.

Greece Super League Preview: Week 4 (May 8-15)

Panathinaikos, AEK, PAOK, and Olympiakos Volos comprise this season’s playoff participants. The teams will play each other in home and away fixtures and the winner of the mini-group playoffs will go into the Champions’ League qualifying stage while the remaining sides will enter the Europa League at various stages.

Thanks to finishing second place during the actual Super League season, Panathinaikos begins the playoffs with three points, AEK and PAOK start with a point apiece while Olympiakos Volos have zero.

Below are previews of the first three Matchdays.

Greece Super League Preview: Week 30 (Apr 17)

Olympiakos will seek to finish the season with a perfect home record when they take on relegated Larisa. This will be a match that Olympiakos supporters will look forward to as they will celebrate their league title after the 90 minutes are up.

The real drama on the night however will be for the battle for 5th place and the final playoff spot. A place in Europe next season is on the line as Olympiakos Volos hold a two-point lead over Aris. Volos play host to Panathinaikos on Sunday, while Aris are away to Xanthi. A Volos win will clinch the spot for that side, however if they fail to claim to the three points then Aris could steal 5th place with a win in Xanthi.

Elsewhere, in the final matchday of the regular season, playoff-bound AEK host Iraklis, while PAOK, also set for the playoffs, hosts Kerkyra. Relegated sides Asteras Tripolis and Panserraikos will play for pride as they take on Panionios and Ergotelis respectively. Finally, Atromitos and Kavala meet up with the former gearing up for their Greek Cup final match against AEK in two weeks.

Greece Super League Preview: Week 29 (Apr 10)

Olympiakos claimed the title two matches ago and this weekend they face an Atromitos side needing points to ensure safety. Panathinaikos will go into the playoffs as the league’s second-placed side, however will want to end the season strongly after going down to an embarrassing defeat last week to bottom side Panserraikos. This weekend they host Asteras Tripolis who need a win if they are to avoid the drop.

PAOK and Iraklis will contest a Thessaloniki derby on Sunday, while AEK seek the points at Larisa who can only survive with a miracle at this point. The biggest match on the weekend program may just be the clash between Aris and Olympiakos Volos, the result of which could bear greatly on the last playoff berth.

Elsewhere, Panionios host Panserraikos, Kerkyra welcome Ergotelis, while Kavala and Xanthi meet up in a midtable affair.

Greece Super League Preview: Week 28 (Apr 3)

Olympiakos’ 6-0 rout of AEK two weeks ago gave the Piraeus side their 38th league title with three matches to spare. They take on Kavala this weekend, a side still harboring playoff hopes.

Olympiakos Volos will try and hold onto the last playoff place when they host Xanthi on Sunday, while Aris seek to maintain their late charge at 5th place with a win against Asteras Tripolis, a side needing points to avoid the drop.

AEK and Atromitos meet at the Olympic Stadium in Athens in a preview of this season’s Greek Cup final. In other matches key to the relegation battle, Kerkyra and Panionios meet in Corfu with both needing points to ensure safety, while Larisa play their last hand in staging a miraculous comeback against relegation when they travel to Thessaloniki to take on PAOK.

Elsewhere in two matches with little bearing on the league table, Ergotelis hosts Iraklis while Panathinaikos travel to already relegated Panserraikos.

Greece vs Poland Report

Both sides created opportunities to score a winner, however an inability to convert chances at either end saw the game finish in a 0-0 stalemate. Kostas Mitrolgou and Robert Lewandowski had the best chances for each team in a forgettable affair at the Karaiskakis Stadium.

The match was memorable in the sense that it was the international curtain call for Polish defender Michal Zewlakow. The 35-year-old player turned out for his country for the 102nd time and was given a standing ovation by all in attendance when he was substituted in the 62nd minute. It marked the end of a fine Polish career which has seen Zewlakow become Poland’s all-time leader in international caps.

Greece vs Poland Preview

The Polish side are trying to gear up for EURO 2012 with a series of friendly fixtures and are coming off a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Lithuania over the weekend.

Greece meanwhile are aiming to qualify for the tournament and currently lead Group F of EURO 2012 qualifying with 11 points from five matches, ahead of Croatia, Georgia, and Israel in a tight section.

Greece squeaked through past Malta on Saturday with a 1-0 win courtesy of a last-gasp winner by Vasilis Torosidis in a Group F qualifier. Fernando Santos’ bunch were mediocre at best on the night in Ta’Qali where the hosts Malta so very nearly claimed a surprising point.

Malta vs Greece Report

A stubborn defensive display by the hosts almost saw Malta, ranked 163rd in the FIFA Rankings, earn a hard-fought point against the Greeks, but late intervention by Torosidis who headed home with the last kick of the game four minutes into injury time saw Greece escape the Ta’Qali National Stadium with a 1-0 victory.

The win put Fernando Santos’ team atop Group F in EURO 2012 qualifying as Greece have amassed 11 points from five matches in the section. The Greeks took advantage of a Croatia defeat to Georgia earlier in the day meaning that Greece now are the pace-setters in the group halfway through the campaign.

Malta vs Greece Preview

The qualifier at the Ta’Qali National Stadium is a crucial one from the Greeks’ perspective as a victory could see Fernando Santos’ side leapfrog Croatia for first place in the section. Currently, Greece are second place in Group F with 8 points from 4 matches, while Croatia lead the group with 10 points. Malta will be seeking their first points of EURO 2012 qualifying having lost all four matches they have played thus far.

Greece have virtually no injury worries heading into this match as Santos can select from a full squad of players. The only issues are in the form of long-term absences for Alexandros Tziolis and more recently first-choice goalkeeper Michalis Sifakis, both of whom were not fit enough to make the squad.

Malta vs Greece: Can The Greeks Top Group F After Match-Day 5?

Fernando Santos men are starting to pick form in the Euro 2012 qualifiers. Frustration captivated Greek fans after their team stumbled to two consecutive draws in the first stages of the campaign. However, narrow victories over Latvia and Israel respectively have turned the tables around for the 2010 World Cup losers.

Greece are now just behind Croatia in Group F and they stand a great chance of toping their section after match-day 5. The good news for the Greeks is that they will be playing Malta who are toothless, so expect 3 more points to fall in the bag of Saturday’s visitors. Portuguese coach Fernando Santos is looking forward to a victory against Group F’s bottom side.

Greece Super League Preview: Week 27 (Mar 20)

Ernesto Valverde’s team are coming off a 2-1 defeat to PAOK last week and now have the opportunity again to claim the title, this time at home to high-flying AEK, who this week advanced to the Greek Cup final.

Second-placed Panathinaikos appear to have a straightforward task as they host Kerkyra at the Olympic Stadium in Athens. The real interest now has to do with the playoff picture and the fight to avoid relegation. Kavala and Olympiakos Volos square off in a massive clash that could play a vital role in clearing up the playoff race. Atromitos need the points to avoid the drop when they face PAOK at home, while the latter are trying to clinch a playoff place.

Aris look rejuvenated under new boss Sakis Tsiolis and take on Panserraikos. Some key relegation battles are on tap this weekend. Larisa take on Ergotelis with a victory keeping their flickering hopes alive of staying in the division. Asteras Tripolis hope to continue their charge to avoid relegation when they travel to Xanthi. Finally, Panionios’ remarkable turn around could be solidified with a victory at Iraklis.

Greece Super League Preview: Week 26 (Mar 12-13)

With a giant 13-point lead, it appears only a matter of time before Ernesto Valverde’s side win the title. They can claim their 38th league title with a victory against PAOK in Thessaloniki in Sunday’s late fixture. Panathinaikos’ flickering title hopes can remain intact for a day at least if they are able to overcome Iraklis on Saturday.

This week allegations of match-fixing involving several officials from various clubs in Greece have been brought forth by Greek lawyer Alexis Kouyias, casting a shadow over the latter stages of the Super League season.

With five matches remaining, the races for Europe and the relegation battle are of most interest now. AEK and Kavala meet up on Sunday as 3rd place meets 4th in a match with serious playoff implications. Olympiakos Volos will look to take advantage of any slip-up by those sides when they travel to Asteras Tripolis, themselves looking for the points to lead them to safety.

In the match that could seal either team’s relegation fate, Panionios and Larisa battle it out at the Nea Smyrni Stadium, with a Larisa defeat probably condemning that side to the drop. Elsewhere, Ergotelis host troubled Atromitos while Panserraikos-Xanthi and Kerkyra-Aris feature matches with little to play for with regard to the standings.

Greece Super League Preview: Week 20 (Mar 5-6)

It will be the second time the two teams meet in the span of a few days as the the clubs played out a controversial 0-0 first leg Greek Cup semifinal on Wednesday also at the Olympic Stadium. Now, before the return leg of the semifinal in Thessaloniki this week, the two teams must turn their focus to the league in a match with playoff implications.

Olympiakos look to take another big step toward the league title when they host Ergotelis. Panathinaikos have only faint title hopes remaining at this stage but will be looking for the win when they travel to embattled Larisa.

Olympiakos Volos will expect nothing less than the three points when they take on Panserraikos. Kavala and Asteras Tripolis highlight one of the weekend’s more interesting match-ups with Kavala looking to keep up their playoff push with Asteras needing points to avoid the drop.

Aris and Iraklis battle it out in a Thessaloniki derby, while Panionios try to continue their positive form against Atromitos. Finally, Xanthi and Kerkyra meet up in a match without much bearing on the league table.

Greece Super League Preview: Week 24 (Feb 26-27)

In that match, Olympiakos came out victorious 2-1 and all but sealed up the title opening up a 10-point lead with seven matches remaining. However, the real story had to do with some poor refereeing decisions that went against Panathinaikos and chaotic scenes at the end when Olympiakos supporters stormed the pitch and allegedly attacked Panathinaikos players.

Add to this several instances of problems after the two sets of players headed into the locker rooms and it amounted to one of the most ill-tempered derbies in recent years. This weekend, Olympiakos face a difficult trip to Panionios, a side who seem to have the momentum in avoiding relegation. Panathinaikos are at home to Atromitos, the latter looking to assure themselves of remaining in the top-flight.

In two matches that have real bearing on the playoff race, Ergotelis welcome AEK to Crete while Kavala travel to Thessaloniki to face PAOK. Panserraikos look condemned to the drop and play their final card for survival against fellow embattled club Asteras Tripolis. Larisa also are prime relegation candidates and will hope to begin a sequence of victories beginning this weekend against Aris.

Elsewhere, Iraklis host Xanthi while Olympiakos Volos travel to Corfu to take on Kerkyra.

Greece Super League Preview: Week 23 (Feb 19-26)

Olympiakos currently hold a seven-point advantage at the top so for Panathinaikos it is potentially their last chance to close the gap with only seven matches remaining in the championship. PAOK, currently third place, have had their weekend match against Ergotelis postponed to a later date due to their Europa League encounter with CSKA Moscow on Thursday.

AEK are in the midst of a terrible run of form and will expect the three points against rejuvenated Panionios in order to maintain their playoff hopes. Olympiakos Volos hosts Iraklis and Kavala take on Panserraikos in two other matches with playoff implications.

Elsewhere, Aris seek to return to winning ways when they make the trip to Athens to face Atromitos. Asteras Tripolis will aim to climb out of the relegation zone with a home win against Kerkyra while Larisa need only a win in order to maintain their hopes of survival as they travel to Xanthi.

Greece Super League Preview: Week 22 (Feb 12-13)

With Olympiakos having a seven point advantage over Panathinaikos, a victory against Aris in Thessaloniki on Saturday could be prove to be the crucial moment of the season for Ernesto Valverde’s team in their bid to win the title. Panathinaikos host AEK at the Olympic Stadium in Athens aiming to capitalize on any Olympiakos slip-up and to keep their faint title hopes alive.

Ergotelis have a superb chance to enter the race for a playoff spot if they are able to defeat Kavala. Olympiakos Volos are also near the playoff places and meet Larisa this weekend in a Thessaly derby. Panionios and PAOK kick things off in Saturday’s early match with the former looking for any points they can get in order to avoid relegation.

Elsewhere, relegation battles are on tap as Iraklis and Asteras Tripolis meet up while Kerkyra and Panserraikos also clash. Xanthi host Atromitos with a view on picking up a victory that will ensure safety for another season.
