After the comically tragic "scenes" in Toumba, the decision of the committee is (among others) -3 to PAOK for this year's championship and the award of the game to AEK with 0-3. Thus, AEK is in the first place of the standings with 57 points, with a significant distance from its pursuers. It was preceded by a 1-0 victory over Panionios at home. In the period of the break, he gave two friendly games in which he prevailed with 5-0 of Lamia and 4-0 of Panetolikos. The work that Manolo Jimenez does in the team is very good. If he wins Panathinaikos, he is even closer to winning the championship. On the positive side for Manolo Jimenez is that he has an almost… white absence list in view of the derby (apart from the well-known absences of Mandolo, Johansson, Csosic), Livagia will serve his sentence.
On the other hand, Panathinaikos of the many financial problems "runs to anticipate the runs that run". The goal of those involved in the administration is the viability of the team. Marinos Ouzounidis, coach of the team, has taken over the pure races, but last January he saw many of the main footballers leaving the team. He played freely in G. Karaiskakis where he came in a draw with 1-1, as a draw with the same score came in the Avenue Tripoli before the break.
I do not think that the interruption will affect the yellow and blacks and I give a clear lead to the ace. The "greens" have their minds mainly on out-of-competition issues. AEK is a stable team, I estimate that it can win by at least two goals difference and take another step to win the championship.
