Olympiacos prepares for upcoming match against PAOK

Olympiacos is preparing for the 4th matchday of the Stoiximan Super League playoffs against PAOK at the Georgios Karaiskakis stadium this Sunday. Manager Jose Luis Mendilibar is planning two to three targeted changes to the 4-2-3-1 formation to improve team competitiveness. Potential starting lineup adjustments include Mouzakitis and Onyemaechi, while Podence is being considered for the attack to enhance creativity. Mendilibar recently criticized the team's defensive performance following their loss to PAOK in Thessaloniki, where he noted that defensive errors and lack of midfield support led to conceding three goals from seven attempts. The manager emphasized that these individual mistakes gifted goals to the opponent. The squad resumed training at the Rentis facility after a scheduled break to finalize preparations. Tactical decisions regarding the midfield partnership of Hezze and Garcia are also under review following the previous defeat.
