Asteras at Toumba, and you need this one
PAOK face Asteras Tripoli at Toumba on Sunday, 18:00 CET, matchday 9 of the Stoiximan Super League (1) (5). You go in fifth on 15 points from eight games, after the 2–1 defeat at OFI Crete on October 25 (1). A win keeps you in touch with the top. Olympiacos away follows on November 8.
Three missing for Lisi
Pelkas, Michailidis and Lousse are all out for the Asteras game (5). That trims Alessio Lisi's options for the XI. No timetable is given on any of the three.
Lisi: "We needed a win like that one against AEK"
The PAOK coach was clear on what his team is chasing. "We needed a win like that one against AEK," Lisi said (2). He also flagged the tactical shift: "We changed things and I hope we keep the same momentum" (4). He was speaking ahead of the Asteras match at 19:00 (4).
Asteras without Bartolo and Riera, Perez back
Asteras travel without Julian Bartolo and Adrian Riera. Bruno Perez is back in the squad (7). That is two first-choice absences for the visitors and a return they will lean on at Toumba.
