His “16” phase continues today (30/10/2024), with the derby AEK – Mars in Opap Arena standing out. AEK and Mars come from games with opposite emotions. The Union experienced the defeat-shock of Panseraikos while the Thessalonians took a 1-1 draw from Panathinaikos in OAKA and were left alone in the rankings. The two teams were also faced last year, with Mars getting dramatic penalty qualification. Like AEK, Olympiacos is invited to leave behind the defeat of Asteras Tripolis and get a qualification score in the “Apostolos Nikolaidis” against Athens Kallithea FC who in turn wants… from somewhere to be caught after defeating Atromitos. Having psychology in heights, OFI and Volos are faced in Heraklion. The Cretans “salted” Toumba winning PAOK, the Thessalos in Agrinio winning Panetolikos. PAOK, however, is a clear favourite for qualifying against Aegaleo despite the fact that “Siti” took two qualifications already at home. Asteras Tripolis is even bigger favourite as he is confronted with Zakynthos which is two categories below although the islanders have shown elements of an organized group. It is recalled that the games are double and the rules of the away goal do not apply. In the event of a draw following the two games, an extension is followed and – if necessary – the penalty procedure.
