🗞️ Team News: Atromitos

Stefanos Stroungis (Collarbone fracture) and Kyriakos Kivrakidis (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) will be missing for Atromitos gaffer Chris Coleman.

🗞️ Team News: Ionikos

Due to a mostly healthy group of players, there’s just the one fitness issue for the Ionikos gaffer Michalis Grigoriou to be concerned about. Christos Ioannidis (Unknown Injury) won’t be playing here.
