Iraklis (5th 37 pts 9-1-1 at home)

Iraklis are 5th in the table, 4 points above 6th Larisa, ambitious for an Uefa Cup spot. They are strong at home. A team with good offensive line. They come from an away win vs Levadiakos in a crucial game for the hosts. Coach Kofidis asked for the fans to help the team in this crucial game. Not important absents for them, as regulars Snautser (D), Drougas (M) return in the squad. They will miss regular Fortuzi (F) that missed the previous games as well.

Egaleo (9th 29 pts 2-5-4 away)

Egaleo are 9th in the table, 4 points below 6th Larisa. They still have some hopes for an Uefa Cup spot, but the last loss at home vs Atromitos was a big blow for them. In this game they had many complaints from the ref. A team with good defense, but some scoring problems lately. As travellers they are a difficult opponent with many draws. Coach Hatzaras said he will make some changes in the team in the next games. In this game they will miss regulars Nikolopoulos (F), also Sezareq (F) that missed the previous game as well. Also Edusei (D) a long time absent.
