Öster will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 1 point behind Akropolis.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
