Dinamo Zagreb – PAOK: To build in Croatia the “road” to the “8” of the Conference League

He plays at its headquarters (22:00, Newsit.gr, COSMOTE SPORT 2) and wants to get a result that will give him the chance to “seal” the “ticket” for the Conference League’s “8” in the rematch of Toumba. PAOK faces Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia’s “Maksimir”, in the first match of the two teams for the Conference League “16”. The “head of the North” returns after three months to his European obligations, having secured the direct qualification to the Conference League “16” after the first he won in the group phase. Razvan Lucescu’s team goes to tonight’s showdown with ideal psychology, after rising to the top of the Super League scoreboard, surpassing the AEK in the… thread of the regular league season (+1), ahead of the league’s playoffs. The Thessalonians want to expand this year’s undefeated European streak (4-2-0 to 13-2 goals in the qualifying of the event and 5-1-0 to 16-10 in the group), taking a positive result in view of the rematch in Toumba (Thursday 14/3, 19:45), but also the derby with Mars, at the Super League Championship premiere. As far as PAOK’s mission is concerned, we should recall that Samata, Zivko Zivkovic, William Troost-Ekong, Giannis Michailidis and Joan Shastra are left out of the European list. Dinamo Zagreb had a… turbulent European course, which began with its exclusion from the AEK in the Champions League qualifiers. These games were “marked” by the attack of Croatian hooligans in New Philadelphia and the murder of Michael Katsouris. Zagreb’s team finished second or in a group with Victoria Plzen, Astana and Balkani and in the round of playoffs made the big surprise, leaving Real Bettis out of it, with a win in Seville (0-1) and a home draw (1-1). On Sunday (03/03) he stayed at 1-1 with Osijek away, even equalizing delays. The possible elevens: PAOK (Razvan Lucescu): Kotarski, Otto, Kenjiora, Kulierakis, Baba, Meite, Ozdoev, A. Zivkovic, Constantelias, Tyson, Brandon. Dinamo Zagreb (Sergkei Jakirovic): Nevistic, Ristovski, Bernauer, Teofil-Katrin, Perkovic, Sucic, Misic, Kaneko, Baturina, Hoca, Petkovic.
