Mars is hosted by Panathinaikos on Alexandras Avenue, which will once again be packed. Thessalonians come from the upset in the game with Ionian in Cleanthis Vikelidisbut also from two consecutive defeats with Bullet and AEK. For the first time this season, his team Alan Pardew he will travel to Athens, but here the yellow and black people do not have good memories.
In Athens, Aris, especially against Panathinaikos, does not get through easily. The “clover” rate is riveting, as it counts 47 wins at his headquarters, vs 6 of Marsbut also 10 ties. The truth is, however, that the “greens” have not forgotten the… kazo they received from the people of Thessaloniki during his tenure. Danny Pogiatos and his Laszlo Bologna.
On October 4, 2020, in just his fourth match Pogiatos on his bench Panathinaikouthe “greens” welcomed him Mars in the empty Olympic Stage due to measures against the Covid pandemic. The home team had possession throughout the game, but failed to capitalize on any of the 8 final chances they found in the game. On the contrary, the guests with 6 finals found a goal, with Daniel Mancini to score the only goal of the match in the 25th minute. The biggest opportunity for him Panathinaikos came in the second minute of stoppage time in the first half, but o George Delizisis he was literally on the line and cleared the danger for his team at the last moment, after his shot Fran Veleth.
Time Laszlo Bologna now. On April 18, 2021, at play off of the same season (2020/21), the “clover” welcoming him Mars for a second encounter, this time in Avenue, he could not have imagined what would follow. In the 31st minute, a lift from his left Juancar was the cause of concern in his rear Mars. The Spanish full-back, with one of his fills, sent… a curled ball to Shankar, who with a pinch header, gave his team the lead (1-0). In the 42nd minute, the guests had the opportunity to equalize, with Nail polish to take a penalty kick but fail to win it Socrates Dioudiwith the right crossbar to… save the Greek goalkeeper.
The scene started to change after the 52nd minute of the game, when Mauricio he was sent off with a second yellow card and left the hosts with 10 players. After a scramble, in the 62nd minute, the ball reached Manos, who was in the heart of the large area and at the height of the penalty and with a spot-kick he equalized at 1-1. Three minutes was enough to lose control, with him Sasha to attempt a shot from outside the area, o Dioudis refused, o Mateo Garcia he took the rebound and completed the turnaround for the visitors.
These are the two… sad defeats experienced by Panathinaikos by Mars at his headquarters. To find the previous defeat for the ‘green’, one would have to go way back to the day in the distant 2007. Since then, the ‘clover’ has 12 wins, 2 draws and the aforementioned 2 defeats against the yellow and black. In terms of goals, the “greens” have conceded 7 goals, while they have scored 26.
Tradition is clearly in his favor Panathinaikouwho wants to make it 9/9 and touch an all-time record for the club.
