The match against Heraklis today in Kaftantzoglio Stadium is key for the rest of the season. This match comes after the disgrace in Ioannina and the team are called to prove tonight that all that they managed to built up until today in the season is not just a coincidence. Tonight's result will define if team has what it takes to overcome a difficult situation and move on or not.

The home team are not something special this year as after repeated bud results have found themselves close to relegation zone. Of course they are looking for the points that will allow them to move away from this zone.

The match will start at 16:45 on Novasport 1 and will be broadcasted as always by Paokmania web radio.

In this crash test the fans will not be present due to the authorities decision not to allow host team's fans to enter the stadium. However our heart will be there next to our players in their effort to clinch the victory. If the desired result doesn't come we have to refrain from over criticism and maintain our composure. This match is not the beginning or the end of the world.
"Ο mecânico" has selected the following players for the squad:
Chalkias, Kresic, Arambatzis, Koutsianikoulis, Malezas, Papazoglou, Fotakis, Cristiano, Edinho, Garcia, Ivic, Lino, Muslimovic, Savini, Sorlin, Sznaucner, Vieirinha, Vitolo.

Even though the formation will remain the same as 4-2-3-1 the starting players are difficult to predict as most players have chances to be selected by Santos.
