The curtain falls on Matchday 4 of the Superbet Greek Cup at Panthessaliko Stadium, with Volos hosting Atromitos (6:00 p.m.), in a match where Juan Carlos Garido will take his place on the home team’s bench for the first time.
The Spanish coach replaced Kostas Bratsos, who stepped down following last Sunday’s home loss (10/25) to Panathinaikos, paying the price for a very poor start to the season with five losses and three draws.
Garido, who will be assisted by Ariel Ibagaza, wants to get off to a strong start, as Volos aims to enter the battle for qualification to the next round with momentum, having earned just one point in two matches in the Superbet Greek Cup.
On the other side, Atromitos has one win in two matches and is aiming for a victory, which would essentially secure its advancement to the next round of the competition.
At the same time, the Peristeri-based team will try to lift their spirits following their recent poor results in the league. Dusan Kerkez’s team is coming off a 3-1 loss to Aris at Harilaou—their fifth defeat in seven Stoiximan Super League matches— and so far has yet to taste victory, sitting in second-to-last place in the standings with just two points.
Possible starting lineups:
Volos ELABET (Juan Carlos Garido): Siabanis, Ayakua, Kargas, Lekous, Tasiouras, Lykourinos, Komba, Bournits, Gonzalez, Lambrou, Urtado.
