The OPAP Super League fixture has been announced and promoted sides AO Kerkyra and Niki Volos have been set very tough encounters to welcome their passage into the league.
Particularly Niki Volos, which has been set the tough task of taking on 2013-14 champion Olympiakos, at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium, whilst AO Kerkyra will take on mid-table side Panthrakikos at home.
Last season’s champion Olympiakos will be looking to further extend its record 41 Greek titles, having run away with the title by a blistering 23 points, whilst last season’s runner-up PAOK will host AEL Kalloni.
The ‘trifili’ will start its campaign 130 kilometres north of Athens, when it is hosted by Levadiakos.
Fans of Olympiakos and Panathinaikos will have to wait patiently for the first ‘Derby of the Eternal Enemies’ (as it has been dubbed in Greece) as it has been set on match day eight.
All match day one games are as follows:
· Veria – Skoda Xanthi
· OFI – Panetolikos
· AO Kerkyra – Panthrakikos
· Olympiakos – Niki Volos
· PAS Giannina – Asteras Tripolis
· Atromitos – Platanias
