Eternal derby in Greece, match in London..

The Greek derby for the first step in the semi-final phase of the Cup will take place tonight at OAKA. A big game is also expected in London with Arsenal hosting Tottenham.

PANATHINAIKOS - OLYMPIACOS PIREUS (19:30)
The EPO's central refereeing committee has recruited Simon Marchiniak to referee Panathinaikos' first game against Olympiacos Piraeus in the Greek Cup quarter-finals on Wednesday at OAKA.
The Polish elite UEFA referee is one of the most famous whistle blowers, having officiated at World Cup and European finals. This comes as a follow-up to the fierce complaints in recent weeks about refereeing.
On the purely competitive side, Olympiacos go into the derby with momentum due to the gap they opened up in the league from their rivals, who although they were ahead of Pancerraikos in Serres, nevertheless drew and dropped two very important points.
In the league game the two teams were tied in a whitewash.

STUTTGART-LEIPZIG (21:30)
Stuttgart and Leipzig welcomed 2025 with victories. The former beat Augsburg 0-1 and the other won at home against Werder Bremen 4-2.
Therefore, both teams go into the clash with their spirits up for the battle between them, with the home side wanting a win to move within a point of Leipzig and the latter aiming for success to consolidate their hold on the Champions League places.
There are no particular match problems.
In last season's games Stuttgart won 5-2 and Leipzig 5-1.

INTER-BOLOGNA (21:45)
Inter are coming off a difficult but important win, hosting Bologna who drew with Roma.
The Nerazzurri are favourites to win and reduce the gap from the top to one point.
On the other hand, Bologna are far from the top and at -14 from their current opponent.
In their last game Inter won 0-1.

ARSENAL-TOTTENHAM (22:00)
Coming off three negative results in the league and cup, Arsenal will be looking to entertain impressions against Tottenham in the London derby.
The Roosters, on the other hand, are counting two consecutive qualifiers in as many cup competitions.
The league game is expected with particular interest as it is one of the most important matches on the Island.
Arsenal have four wins and a draw in their last five games against Tottenham.
