Panionios prepares for Greek Cup match against Niki Volos

Panionios is preparing for its first official match of the new season against Niki Volos in the second qualifying round of the Superbet Greek Cup. The match is scheduled for Wednesday, August 19, at 17:00 at the Pantelis Magoulas Stadium.

Due to a stadium ban imposed on Niki Volos from the previous season, the match will be played behind closed doors, meaning no spectators will be present. The game is a single-leg knockout fixture; if the score is tied after regular time, the winner will be decided directly by a penalty shootout.

Under coach Juan Ferrando, Panionios has been working on a philosophy of dominant football and high pressing. The team aims to secure qualification to return to Nea Smyrni. Additionally, the competition rules for this season require the inclusion of two young players in the starting lineup.
