Without a moment to catch its breath, Panathinaikos has turned its attention to its next game. The “Greens” have put their Conference League League Phase match against CSKA Sofia behind them, turning their attention to the game against Heraklis at Kaftanzoglio Stadium. However, they will not have their fans by their side after all, due to a blockade by the Thessaloniki police.
The Danish coach is expected to make a few minor changes to the starting lineup. After all, it’s clear that it’s not his style to make major rotations from game to game; he has stated clearly that he believes his team isn’t yet ready for major changes. One change is unavoidable, since Kangwa—who was sent off with a straight red card against AEK—is suspended. So, the midfield duo will consist of Kamara and Louza. The 38-year-old coach is unlikely to make changes to the defense—and certainly not to Peña—with De Vrij and Van Dronhelen forming the center-back pairing, while Calabria and Kyriakopoulos are expected to remain on the right and left, respectively. Tetei and Desers are set to return to the starting lineup, replacing Levi and Rastonder, who started on Thursday.
