The host is looking for the first success in the league and Ethnikos the first away.
One team goes down to the game (18:00) keeping in mind "as long as I live I hope" and the other with clearly bigger goals from the stay, which reach to the hunt for a place in the top six. In any case, the Anagennisi-Ethnikos match has its own interest, with both teams chasing victory for their own purposes.
The main element of the match is the fact that the tail Anagennisi is looking for its first victory in the championship (counts five draws), while the team of Achna the first away victory.
The hosts want goals to achieve their goal and from there on they will take care to neutralize the great asset of the guests Zelaya, since Katsiarava is not playing.
Savvas Poursaitidis will probably assign the guarding of Zelaya to Dalos. From there and beyond, he expects the goal from his forwards and especially from Fourtados, who has been silent lately.
There are many changes in the roster of Anagennisi, after the departure of Barpoudis, Vieira, Juspasian, Marisic and Hatzigiannakou. A new person - until now - is Gonzalez, who previously played in Doxa.
The National
Without his first scorer Nika Katsiarava, Ethnikos will go to "Tassos Markou". Georgianos for has completed four yellow cards and Valdas Ivanauskas is looking for a replacement. There are solutions and Giorgi Ilurince and Bogtan Gavrila are the favorites. As a third option there is the case of Hadjivasilis.
The Lithuanian coach is expected to keep the formation at 4-4-2 with Zelaya being one of the top forwards.
The injured Grigalava is also out of the plans. Pincelli is expected to be sent off in the cup game against Omonia, and will serve his sentence in the replay cup.
Ethnikos with 21 points entered the hunt for six and will chase its chances. But to stay in that goal, he will have to get the three points today, which if he succeeds, will be the first victory away from home.
* Apart from the match, Ethnikos is trying to lift the transfer embargo. Palavandishvili continues to train and will register when the embargo is lifted.
