A key matchup in Boeotia, where Levadiakos hosts Olympiacos (5:00 p.m.) for Matchday 5 of the Stoiximan Super League.
The Boeotians have had a very rough start to the season and are looking for a result that will boost their morale. They have just one point, which they earned a week ago in a 0-0 away draw against Kifisia. They have conceded 8 goals and have yet to score. They have made many roster changes, have a new coach, and need time for the Boeotians to improve.

Sout and Symelidis felt some discomfort during the last training session and were ruled out by Ilias Charalambous.
On the other hand, the Cypriot coach was pleased to see that the new signings, Popescu and Panzo, are fully ready, while Liagas and Lamanara are returning.
The roster includes: Anakker, Eliasi, Pantea, Manthatis, Kornezos, Liagas, Panzo, Tsaras, Filon, Tsivelekidis, Vichos, Lamarana, Kostis, Nikas, Entiaye, Goumas, Vrakas, Papadopoulos, Ursi, Balde, Rodriguez, Baousa, Emmanouilidis, Popescu, Kompnan, Ozegovic
Here is the full roster:
The “Red-and-Whites” are riding high after their first victory with Imanol Alguacil at the helm. Although they lost 1-0 at home to OFI in his debut, they managed to beat Jagiellonia twice in midweek, getting off to a strong start in the Europa League Group Stage. They put on an outstanding performance in the second half, giving the Piraeus side a psychological boost heading into the rest of the season.
A return to winning ways in the league is imperative, and Imanol Alguacil is rubbing his hands with satisfaction as Roca, Sipioni, and Fortounis have returned to the roster, which also includes Marius Muadilmaji. Meanwhile, Dani García has been left out of the squad; he has not played a single minute in Basque’s first two matches. The 24-man roster in detail: Ortega, Popovic, Stournaras, Saliakas, Smailovic, Piola, Carmo, Pedersen, Retsos, Bruno, Tiknizian, Fortounis, Zelson, Puerta, Sipioni, Froiler, Chikino, Ese, Roca, Yaremchuk, Zota, Gonzalez, Clayton, Muadilmaji.
Levadiakos (Ilias Charalambous): Anaker – Pantea, Kornezos, Tsivelekidis, Vichos – Kostis, Sout – Emmanouilidis, Symelidis, Urzi – Kombnan.
Olympiacos (Imanol Alguacil): Ortega – Saliakas, Retsos, Smilovic, Tiknizian – Ese, Puerta – Zelson, Fortounis, Zota – Gonzalez.
