PAOK are at Peristeri chasing a first cup win
PAOK 0–0 OFI in the Cup opener. That is why the trip to Atromitos on Wednesday matters: PAOK still have no three points in the League Phase (1)(3). One win changes the table and settles the group.
Alessio Lisi is the man carrying that hope, and Dusan Kerkez, Christopher Nunez and Petros Tsagdis are all part of the picture for this one (1).
The league form is exactly where you want it
PAOK 2–0 Aris on Sunday. The Thessaloniki derby went your way and the mood going into the cup tie is high (1)(2). You sit second on 9 points from 4 games, +5 goal difference, after wins over Levadiakos (4–0) and at Atromitos (1–2), a 3–1 loss at Panathinaikos, and the Aris win. Form: W W L W.
