PAOK come to Karaiskakis without Kenny
PAOK will travel to Olympiacos without Kenny. The right-back is suspended for the Super League meeting at Karaiskakis, so Lisi has to patch the flank (3).
His options: Elustondo, Giakits, Taylor. There is also an unnamed "X" in the mix, as novasports put it (3).
No date is fixed in the report beyond next week, but the calendar says Sunday, November 8, 20:00 CET, at home. You go into it on five straight wins and second in the table with 22 points from 9 games.

Rennes away on Wednesday first
Do not skip ahead. Wednesday, November 4, 16:30 CET, Stade Rennais away in the Europa League. That is the next one.
You arrive with three wins from three in Europe: Marseille 0–1 Olympiacos, then Olympiacos 1–0 Sparta Prague at home (fixtures). Kifisia 2–3 Olympiacos on Saturday kept the domestic run going.
Kalamata are still feeling the 5–0
Olympiacos 5–0 Kalamata at Karaiskakis on October 25 is still the reference point for the visitors. Kalamata want to leave that heavy defeat behind and get back to positive results against Iraklis, and they do it without Vargas (4).
That is the scoreline your team put on them a week before the Kifisia trip.
Andino is the one that got away
Panathinaikos 2–0 AEK, and the loudest applause should go to the people who signed off €6.5m for Santino Andino. That is the line coming out of the Greek press (5).
The framing is what stings: one outlet calls it Panathinaikos' biggest theft from Olympiacos, with Nistrup, Nikolic, Tetteh and Ioannidis part of the same story (5). Your title race just got a rival with a winger who is delivering.
