The next opponent of "PROO" is in the 5th place in the Leagues table with 21 points and with an offensive line that is the most productive of the group, having achieved  to score 24 goals and with key striker in the lineup, the top League scorer Nikos Katsikokeris who has achieved the 1/3 of these ( 8 goals) . 

 On the contrary, the defensive line of FC Episkopi with 13 times seeing the ball in their own net, shows some weaknesses in having failed keeping the opponent team at 0 in 5 of the 6 home games played.

 Without their coach Stefanides, who was sent off the pitch in the previous match, and has no right to be on the bench, will FC Episkopi  line up on Sunday.  As well as 3 missing important players due to red cards. Latest news of the week are also the withdrawal of two of the team's goalkeepers who had participated in previous games.

                
On the other hand the coach of PROODEFTIKI, Margaritis Chatzialexis, pointed out in an interview during the week, that every remaining match for the championship is likely to be  ‘’a final’’ and any point  that will be achieved in away games will be a positive result in the battle that everyone  in the "Crimson" squad will participate to save the club from relegation to the local divisions of Pireus. 
                                                                
  
The only missing player for PROO will be the punished with red card Tzitzikalakis during past game against Ethnikos Pireus, while expected is the participation of the striker Vlachos who returned to our club, by signing again up during past week
       
The squad of PROO, will travel by Ferry-boat on Saturday night to Crete and probably the starting  lineup of our club will not have many differences compared to those played against  Ethnikos Piraeus (1-1 final) in the previous Match past Sunday.
