AEK to Face Panathinaikos with Zini

AEK is focusing on Sunday's derby against Panathinaikos at the «OPAP Arena» (21:00), aiming to react after their elimination from the Cup quarter-finals by OFI.

Following Marios Iliopoulos' warning of a potential fine if they don't achieve 3/3 in the games against Panathinaikos, Asteras, and Olympiacos, the team is called upon to improve their performance.

Marko Nikolic is expected to make changes to the starting lineup, with Ljubicic returning and Zini being available. Zini, who has been training normally, is expected to be in the squad and may play for the first time since his injury on November 27 in the match against Fiorentina.

Additionally, Mijat Gacinovic is available, while Roberto Pereira remains absent.
