They also have a derby podar in 2025, as the two teams clash in OAKA (20:30) as part of the 17th Super League race. Panathinaikos hosts PAOK in the empty due to OAKA punishment, for the most important match of the 17th race in the Greek league, with the winner (if any) climbing to the top of the score, waiting for the result of Olympiacos’ match with Panetolikos, which will take place on Monday (6/1/25). CORVERSE The “greens” are in 3rd place with 32 points, having a winning six-game streak in league, Cup and Europe, with Rui Vitoria having changed Panathinaikos’ troubled image at the beginning of the year. In the last game for 2024, the “trifl” had won 1–0 Athens Kallithea with Yeremeev achieving the goal of victory. The Portuguese coach will not have at his disposal for tonight’s derby Max and Sporar who were left out of commission, while Palmer-Brown, Cherin, Pelistri and Sencephald are available. Lodigin, Dragovski, Lilo, Vajannidis, Senkeeld, Zeka, Ioannidis, Unai, Tete, Bakasetas, Palmer-Brown, Ingason, Cherin, Manchini, Limnios, Maximovich, Gentwei, Mladenovitch, Kotsiras, Pelistri, Yeremeev, Juritčić and Arao complement the green mission, with Panathinaikos wanting to continue his winning streak and enter with the right in the new year. CORVERSE On the other hand, PAOK who is 2nd having a more rank than the “greens” will descend to OAKA without the punished Rasvan Lucescu (he has been banned from entering the stadium for 4 months due to the episodes in the OPAP Arena parking lot), with the Thessalonians wanting the victory so that they can go with good psychology to the Greek Cup’s rematch against the AEK (9/01/25). The Thessalonians are undefeated in their last five games in the league and comes from three consecutive victories against Panseraic, Panetolic and Atromitos. It is worth noting that this season PAOK are undefeated, having 7 wins and 1 draw in 8 games! Outside a mission for the “white-blacks” is Giannis Konstantelias who is suffering from a virus, while Michaelides, Vieirinia, Thymianis, Gomez and Bakayoko remained in Thessaloniki. PAOK’s mission consists of Kotarski, Pavlenka, Chiftsis, Shastr, Otto, Kentziora, Loveren, Colley, Baba, Schwab, Ozdoev, Kamara, Murg, Tyson, Soretière, A.Zivkovic, Despodov, Tisundali, Brandon, Chalov and Samata. Referee of the contest will be Hansen Morten from Denmark, with assistants Rasmussen and Bramsen. Fourth referee is Vergetis and in the VAR Kellett and Gospel.
