PAOK Faces Crucial Clash Against Levadiakos in Title Race

PAOK faces Levadiakos at Toumba Stadium in a critical match for the top spot in the Stoiximan Super League standings. A win would bring PAOK to 57 points, tying with Olympiacos, while they await the result of the AEK-Atromitos match. The team, coached by Lucescu, comes from a draw against Olympiacos and previous victories against Asteras AKTOR and Kifissia, but is affected by the mourning for a deceased fan. Zivkovic, Yakoumaki, and Kenny are sidelined due to injuries. Levadiakos, on the other hand, is in poor form, having lost their last 7 games and suffering a heavy defeat against Panathinaikos. They have lost hope for the playoffs and face PAOK with several absences due to suspension (Palacios, Lamarana) and injuries (Kosti, Liagas, Papadopoulos). The two teams have met twice this year, with Levadiakos winning 4-1 in the Cup and PAOK taking revenge with a 3-2 victory. The match is expected to be difficult for PAOK, as Levadiakos, despite their poor form, can cause problems. A win is essential for PAOK to remain in the championship race.
