And they have indeed shown that they want to stay. The <strong>Nikaian<\/strong> club could easily be characterized by one of the pleasant surprises in this year&#8217;s championship.<\/p>\n<p>They have recorded 25 points and are in 11th place. But that does not tell the whole story about the <strong>Athenian<\/strong> team. Their style of play has been excellent, and they have met every opponent with the same determination, focusing on playing their own brand of football. They were in control of many matches that they somehow ended up losing, but generally the club seem to be here to stay and try to relive their former glories of the past.<\/p>\n<p>The main goal of staying up looks like it will be achieved with relative comfort, something which seemed as though it would be the case from early on in the season with a squad built with experience and talent, including some big names such as <strong>Jose Canas<\/strong> and <strong>Dmytro Chyhrynskyi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The black spot so far for them has been their failure in the <strong>Greek Cup. <\/strong>Although they managed to get past <strong>Xanthi<\/strong>, they fell to <strong>Lamia<\/strong> before the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n<p>Their player of the season so far is <strong>Aias Aosman<\/strong>. The <strong>Syrian<\/strong> attacking midfielder has scored six goals and produced six assists, while <strong>Reinaldo Lenis<\/strong> has also proven to be a solid acquisition, as the <strong>Colombian<\/strong> forward has scored three goals and contributed three assists.<\/p>\n<p>The architect of the team is coach <strong>Dimitris Spanos<\/strong>. The <strong>Greek<\/strong> technician guided the club to promotion and won the right to lead the team in the top flight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ionikos<\/strong> was active in the January transfer window, making four additions to give even more options to <strong>Spanos<\/strong> to cover the gaps he identified. <strong>Vassilis Mantzis<\/strong> returned after 1.5 years in <strong>Cyprus<\/strong> with <strong>Olympiakos Nicosia<\/strong>, while <strong>Valente<\/strong> was a free agent arrival from T<strong>uzlalaspor. <\/strong>Goalkeeper <strong>Nejc Vidmar <\/strong>(on loan from Olimpija Ljubljana) was brought in, while <strong>Vangelis Platellas<\/strong> returned after a spell at <strong>Xanthi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>For the game at the <strong>Toumba<\/strong>, <strong>Spanos<\/strong> is without the injured <strong>Canas<\/strong>, but also <strong>Kiato, <\/strong>who is suspended. The Ionikos squad includes the following:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Choutesiotis, Vidmar, Tsirigoti, Vafeas, Valeriano, Chyhrynskyi, Mygas, Sanchez, Gotsoulias, Aosman, Dalcio, Romao,Lenis, Manalis, Cabral, Matsoukas, Platellaa, Thuram, Valente, Mantzis.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ionikos are the last team to visit the Toumba during the regular season of the 2021-22 Super League Interwetten 2021-22, and paokfc.gr&#8217;s Rival Analysis column is here to give the lowdown on today&#8217;s opponents.","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":678103,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1520,5],"tags":[1519,2250,5815,5914,14730],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.5.1 -
