PAOK’s line-up

Kotarski, Otto, Ketziora, Michailidis, Rafa, Tsingaras, Svab, A. Zivkovic, Marcos Antonio, Despondov, Brandon Thomas

PAO’s line-up

Dragovski, Yedvai, Mladenovic, Kostenovic, Kociras, Arau, Reuben, Bakassetas, Bernard, Cerin, Palacios, Sporar

The two teams have been opponents in the Cup almost every season in recent years (last year in the quarter-finals, the year before in the final) and given that they are also fighting for the Super League 1 title, the battles between them are expected to be extremely interesting.

For PAOK, the big question mark is Yiannis Konstantelias who is suffering from a virus and has not trained since the game against AEK, while Razvan Louchescu is expected to make several changes to the starting line-up also due to the consecutive derbies his team has.

For PAO, the significant absence is Fotis Ioannidis as he is still not over his injury, while Fatih Terim is preparing to bring back the starting line-up after the changes he made in the league game against Pancerraikos, with the only question mark being which of Yeremeyev, Sporar will be at the top of the attack.
