THE PAOK faces Ferentsvaros (19:45, Newsit.gr, COSMOTE SPORT 4 HD) for the 6th matchday of the League Phase in Europa Leaguewith Razvan Lucescu not facing any injury problems, having all his players available for the match.
PAOK has a final game ahead of them against Ferentsvaros in Toumba, with the Thessalonians only aiming for victory, in order to stay alive for the 9-24 places that lead to the knockouts of the Europa League.
The good thing for PAOK ahead of the match against the Hungarians is none other than the full “arsenal” that Razvan Lucescu has in his hands, as the experienced technician, in addition to the injured Bakayoko and Lovren, who is not eligible to participate in Europe, does not face some other issue.
Lucescu’s only dilemma concerns the position for the top of the attack, with Chalov and Brandon Thomas vying for the position. The former has a slight lead, as he seems to be in good shape lately, while in the previous game of the “black and white” in the competition and the 2-0 victory against Riga, he had found the net.
On the other hand, the fighting spirit of Tomas, the movements he makes without the ball and the pressure – tension that the Spaniard brings to his game are elements that Lucescu likes, while we must not forget that the 29-year-old was the main center forward of the “black and white ยป last season.
Beyond that, for the Thessaloniki team, Yannis Michailidis also claims a place in the starting line-up, who has a better chance of playing next to Ketzioras than Koley.
With these data, the best 11 for PAOK are: Kotarski, Otto-Keziora-Michailidis-Baba, Schwab-Kamara-Konstantelias-Zivkovtis-Tyson, Chalov.
