Xanthi :
What the Xanthi has presented so far is the result of his work and it is not surprising that he is fighting for a place in the final hex. However, it is clear that his desire is always to be growing and he will fight hard to improve his campaign. For this to happen, it is important that you have regularity, especially in your domains, where you cannot lose points.

Panaitolikos :
Gradually the championship is coming to an end and the Panaitolikos is in a very awkward position. Logically, he is not satisfied, because he wants to be better positioned in the table. Obviously in the field you will need to show a more solid, mature and quality football in all sectors of the field. In this way, the tendency to obtain bad results diminishes and the possibilities of climbing places in the table increase considerably.
Put this, expect in this round to show an improvement, because you need to add points. Therefore, Panaitolikos must know the appropriate moments to act, either to defend themselves or to attack, as this reduces the risk of suffering goals. In the attack, stopped balls and counterattacks can be great weapons for this confrontation. For facing an opponent who is better in the championship he must redouble his attention and not make mistakes. In this match, Alexandros Malis will be absent, in the medical department.
