The Super League released this following statement on Thursday evening:

“It is announced that the Xanthi - Atromitos Athens match, the first of the Super League playouts, will take place on Sunday 7 June at 18:45 (instead of Saturday 6 June).”

Initially, there were even rumours that the game was set to be played on June 10 at a different location, but the Super League has now confirmed that the match will only be held a day later than originally planned in Xanthi. The organisation is concerned about the rise of COVID-19 cases in the Xanthi area.

Atromitos will fly to Xanthi on Saturday morning.

In the 2019/2020 Super League regular season, Atromitos finished in seventh spot with 32 points from 26 games, while Xanthi claimed 12th position with 18 points. Xanthi were docked 12 points as a result of their involvement in a multi-ownership case with PAOK and irregularities in their shares.
