Superleague
Martin’s candidates for the match between Olympiakos and Asteras
Olympiakos meets Asteras (2/3, 19:00, NOVASPORTS PRIME, LIVE Sportish) at Georgios Karaiskakis in a postponed match of Game 17, with Pedro Martins making his plan for the game.
Olympiacos host Asteras (2/3, 19:00, NOVASPORTS PRIME, LIVE Sportish) against Georgios Karaiskakis in the postponed game of his 17th game Superliga Interwetten. The Reds and Whites will seek their sixth straight championship win against a team playing their… leftovers to advance to the playoffs.
Piraeus, after defeating OFI, have increased their gap with PAOK to +13 and intend to increase it even further. So they want to get the three-pointer in Faliro and then wait for the result in the AEK-PAOK derby.
Olympiacos v Asteras will look to extend their Super League Interwetten win streak while Pedro Martins is aiming for his 100th league win.
Pedro Martins’ plan
On Tuesday Olympiakos completed their preparation for the game with a training session with Rentis. Pedro Martins did not definitively include Costas Fortounis in the mission, while Oniekourou, Lopes, Koude, Kane, Sourlis, Androutsos, Karbovnik and Karargiris were also left out.
The Portugal manager was happy with many of his players in the game with OFI and is expected to keep them in the starting XI. At the same time, he has his sights set on Sunday’s upcoming match against Aris at Vikelidis, which will complete the regular championship schedule.
Thomas Watslick starts under the beam. In the center of defence, everything is open. The Ba-Cisse duo played against the Cretans, but it is not excluded that Manolas – Papastathopoulos, or at least one of them, will return. On the left, Fotis Kitsos seems to be holding his position as he has had a positive presence against OFI. At the other end of the line, Kenny Lala gets a break and Marios Vroussai will start again.
On the axis there are chances for Embila to rest and thus put Mandi Kamaras back in the starting XI alongside Bouhalakis. Joao Carvalho also presented a serious candidacy for the starting XI when he faced OFI. At the same time, the return of Agibu Kamara is possible, who can play either as a ten or as an extreme.
Pedro Martins can rest Giorgos Masouras, Rodrεςguez seems to hold his place, while Valbouena is also there. Finally, a differentiation in the center of attack is to be expected, with Ticinius starting instead of Arabi and Pedro Martins again dividing the time between the Red and Whites’ two forwards.
In detail the mission of Olympiakos: Vatslik, Christinson, Tzolakis, Lala, Ba, Papadopoulos, Papastathopoulos, Manolas, Cisse, Reabciouk, Kitsos, Embila, Bouchalakis, M.Kamara, Fantiga, A.Kamara, Carvalho, Valbasgue, Ralbouena, Valbouguera, Arabi.
