Pelkas and Louse miss the OFI trip
No Dimitris Pelkas and no Tom Louse at OFI on Sunday. Alessio Lisci cannot use either of them, because neither has shaken off the problems they were dealing with (2) (4). Two attacking options gone before an 8th-round league game on the road.
The rest of the squad finishes preparation with a morning session at Toumba on Saturday, then a charter flight to Heraklion (2) (4). Kick-off is 20:00 on Sunday 25 October.
PAOK come off a 2–1 home win over Iraklis on 18 October. The away form is the worry: a 3–1 loss at Panathinaikos on 6 September still sits in that last-five run.

Where the points are coming from
Third place, 15 points from 7 games, goal difference +6. The Kalamata result on 12 October still stings, a 1–3 home loss at Toumba. The 2–1 win over Iraklis four days ago steadied it.
Then Asteras Tripoli at Toumba on Sunday 1 November, 18:00. Six points from the next two and you are right back in the chase at the top.
