PAOK VS OMONIA MATCH PREVIEW (UEL MATCHDAY 5)

PAOK VS OMONIA MATCH PREVIEW (UEL MATCHDAY 5)

December 2nd 2020



By: Alexander Koutakos


After PAOK’s 3-2 defeat against PSV Eindhoven, all eyes are set towards PAOK’s match against Omonia. Omonia on the other hand recently lost to Granada 2-1. PAOK took a 2-0 lead  against PSV, but then conceded 3 avoidable goals. On the contrary, Omonia scored an equalizer against Granada(1-1) but then conceded very late in the match. Thus, resulting in a 2-1  loss for the Cypriots.


Below is my preview of PAOK vs Omonia;


Prediction of each team’s respective line-up and formation:


Prediction of PAOK’s line-up(4-3-3)

 Z. Zivkovic(GK)

Crespo ,Varela, Ingason,Wague, 

 El Kaadouri , Schwab, Douglas Augusto,

A.Zivkovic, Colak and Tzolis.


Prediction of Omonia’s line-up(3-4-2-1)

Fabiano(GK)

Lang, Luftner, Hubocan,

Kiko, Shehu, Kousoulos, Mavrias

Tzionis, Asante

Kakoulis(ST)

Omonia’s latest 5 game form:

Based on recent form PAOK  has a huge advantage over Omonia( 12 pts vs 2pts).


PAOK’s Injuries and doubtful players:  Dimitris Giannoulis

Omonia’s Injuries and doubtful players: Eric Bautheac


Prediction Of The Game Itself:

I predict that PAOK will beat Omonia 3-1.  PAOK have looked amazing in-front of goal, however the defence has been really poor this season. I think that Tzolis will score 1 and Andrija Zivkovic will score twice. I also think that Crespo will score on his own net.

 

Score Log:

PAOK 3( 5’ Tzolis, 37 A. Zivkovic, 62 A. Zivkovic)- 1 Omonia ( 57’ Crespo OG).


For Which Team Is This Game The Most Important?

This game is more important for PAOK than for Omonia. Furthermore, because  PAOK still has a very strong chance of making it to the round of  32 in the UEFA Europa League. In the meantime, Omonia has only  a point at the moment and will most likely not progress to the round of 32.


Standings After Matchday 4

Granada- 10 PTS

PSV - 6 PTS

PAOK- 5 PTS

Omonia 1 PT

Football players who could’ve played for the Greek national team but didn’t

Football players who could’ve played for the Greek national team but didn’t By Stephen Kountourou As Ethniki fans, we appreciate those who choose to represent Greece over another nation. It may come from tribalism, national pride, and a close connection with Greek culture. If a football player decides to play for Greece, they also represent us.  It's why supporters were thrilled at the news that Odysseus Vlachodimos, who was born in Germany, was convinced to be the starting goalkeeper for the last decade.  Why the late George Baldock’s passing wrenched at the hearts of every Greek who saw him line up in blue and white. Or most recently, after months of anticipation, Konstantinos Karetsas chose Greece over Belgium, despite being one of the highest-rated young talents in Europe right now, and lit up Hampden Park in our 0-3 victory over Scotland. However, some players do the opposite, for one reason or another, choose to play for a different national team despite having the optio...

Here are my top 10 chants in Greek football with a hyperlink to the YouTube video of them being belted out in full glory. 10. AEK – RE BIN LADEN This cheeky party starter aimed at Olympiakos from AEK’s Original 21 makes it as number 10.

PAOK – IRTHAME SKASTOI APO TIN KLINIKI Gate 4 of PAOK are notoriously known for creating an intimidating atmosphere wherever they go. This particular chant gets extra points for its climax ending when the fans rise from the ground as one jumping all over the place. The chant itself is also funny and sums up the passion of Greek football fans in general as it says they...

The new generation of talented Greek footballers

The new generation of talented Greek footballers By Stephen Kountourou Opportunity, experience and faith. These are just some ingredients in progressing youth players to the senior level. Some leagues are great at producing, promoting and developing academy prospects for their future football careers.  Of the big five leagues, La Liga, Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga have been lorded as the best for producing young domestic talent. La Masia is the biggest example for Spain, PSG, who in more recent times has finally attempted to take advantage of their melting pot of young talent in Pairs and Germany with Borussia Dortmund, who not only produce youth from their academy but are excellent at identifying players from abroad.  Other Leagues like the Dutch Eredivisie and the Belgian Pro League have also been great gateway leagues for their youth and players from elsewhere, to hone their skills in exciting attacking competitions before attempting to take the next big step to the big leagu...
