Another derby in Thessaloniki between Mars and PAOK will be held on Sunday afternoon in the "hot" palace. Only Mars is punished and if something does not change, the Pale will be empty. The final decision is expected tomorrow, Thursday, and of course will play a role in the game's evolution.
If the initial decision is maintained and Aris plays without the presence of his supporters, I foresee that the double bet will drop significantly. Mars has huge out-of-competition problems, the team is unpaid and has been greatly affected. She will fight for her salvation, since in my estimation one of Panionios, Faros and Mars will follow Trikala in Axnumx with probably the current ranked first. His victory against Lavrio was very high before two games in his quest to avoid relegation.
PAOK, on the other hand, comes from the victory over Karsiyaka for the BCHL with 74-68. Of course his very good looks almost throughout the game followed a devastating last four-minute period in which he made seven mistakes losing a difference of 19 points at that time. However, PAOK proved to be consistent as a team, has a depth on his bench and is heading in the right direction.
So the guests are superior. Last but not least they showed that their motivation in domestic games was rather reduced and focused mainly on Europe. After 4 consecutive defeats in the Basket League defeated Trikala at home, making a bad appearance.
On Sunday, of course, the motivation will be strong primarily for reasons of prestige. On the other hand, there is a rematch game in Smyrna. Hopefully he will not disorient them and prove on the pitch that he is the best team and certainly calmer at the current time.
Aris - PAOK | 2 (-1.5) | Stoiximan | 1.90 | 5/10
