With the Lamia-Panathinaikos game, the first round of double matches in the 16 phase of the Greek Cup finishes. The race is scheduled for 19.30 time in Greece and its television coverage has been taken over by Cosmote Sport 1 HD.
Referee: Komine (Union of Thesprotia)
In the "16" phase the matches are double (in-out) and the away goals are normally the same.
The two teams met last year in the same phase of the Cup, with Lamia losing to 1-0 in Athens, but taking the qualification with 4-1 in its first place in the first match.
This year's championship match: Panathinaikos-Lamia: 3-1 (01 / 09 / 2018)
Ghoul: It may have come from 4, but it was 0-7 at the headquarters of Apollo Larissa, which created the climate in the team of Makis Chavou, as this result managed to qualify for the 16 of the event and to go some way quieter at interruption. Now, even though it has the championship in mind, where it is just 3 points above the demo zone and is fighting at Mars next Monday, it will give it all for a positive result, which will increase its chances.
Stats: In 0-7 against Apollo scored for the first time after 6 matches (championship) where it was "awkward".
Racing News: Blazic is missing (midfielder, 11 / 0), Barals return (11 / 3) and Pliatsikas (defender, 8 / 0).
Panathinaikos: He praised 2018 with 2 wins, Championship and Cup. 1-2 at Kisamikos' headquarters gave him both qualifiers and gave him the first place in the group. A few days earlier he had to beat Atromitos in his first defeat (1-0). In the first part he had a very good presence, but in the second he also needed luck to make it (two beams, a lost penalty for Atromitos).
Stats: From 4 consecutive away GG (3 for the league / 1 for Cup) & 6/8 last away games in the two aforementioned tournaments.
Racing News: There are Missing Macedas (FOR, 11 / 5) and Mavromatis (PUP, 12 / 0), OK Koolimbali (8 / 0) and Muni (median, 5 / 0). (10 / 2), Bouzoukis (average, 0 / 14), Theoharis (average, 2 / 0), Kambetsis (form, 0 / 10) and Sats average, 1 / 9) not to be able to manage and to keep them out of the box.
Assessment: Lamia lost only once in its 1 most recent home games and this with difficulty from the champion PAOK. Sure, it "burns" more for the championship, but having mediated the break (that is, there is no fatigue) and wanting to build a momentum after the victory over Apollo, we do not think he will be indifferent. Panathinaikos is a very ambitious team but is affected by many and important absences. Stoiximan offers the match with 6% rake and the ace with coverage in the tie (0DNB) at 1 covers us.
