In this match, Berg will be called upon to fill the void of one of his most stable players in this year’s Marathon, Hvoe Milisevic, who is punished. AEK’s defense (3rd best in the league with 22 passive goals) will be called upon to intercept the championship’s best attack (with 54 goals so far with Omonia), without one of its pillars …
