Asteras Tripolis vs Panionios Prediction and Betting Tips (08.01.2025)

Command Analysis

Asteras Tripolis

Greece

Current form

Before the start of the season, Asteras was one of the obvious contenders for a place in the top eight – the selection of players allowed them to count on fighting for European cups. So far, Savvas Pantelidis’ team has been coping with its task with great difficulty and occupies the eighth line in the table with 22 points, ahead of ninth Atromitos by only three points. This handicap was achieved thanks to a 1:0 victory in a face-to-face meeting against their main competitor in the last round, which became only the sixth for the yellow-blues this season.

Disqualifications and injuries

Redzic and Bile are injured.

Interesting trends for betting

Asteras have won their last three matches
Asteras have scored in their last four matches

Probable line-up: Papadopoulos - Alho, Triantafullopoulos, Deli, Alvarez - Kaltsas, Jablonski, Munoz, Bartolo - Macheda.

Panionios

Greece

Current form

Panionios represents the second-strongest division of Greece, where before the start of the season it was among the main contenders for promotion. While Antonis Nikopolidis' team occupies the third line in the table with 27 points and is seven points behind the second Kalamata, the leader Kifissia has moved ahead by nine points - such a handicap is not significant yet. In the last round, Panionios drew a goalless draw with the second team of AEK, thus breaking a series of two victories in a row. In the Cup, however, they were unable to surprise - a 0:2 defeat in the first match leaves little chance of success.

Disqualifications and injuries

Christopoulos and Nikokyriakis are injured.

Interesting trends for betting

Panionios have not won in their last two matches – a draw and a defeat
Panionios have not scored in their last two matches

Estimated line-up: Skafidas – Pochi, Avlonitis, Khrustinets, Venardos – Prifti, Nvgem, Gini – Kolovos, Felipe, Stupis.

Tip and bets

1.65total under 2.5 goals

Asteras fully justified their status as favourites in the first match and secured a confident 2:0 away win – they will now have to defend this advantage at home. It is unlikely that the yellow-blues will take a big risk in an attempt to increase the handicap, but they will most likely try to defend a positive result without spending much effort. Panionios is seriously inferior in class and is unlikely to be able to create many problems for the hosts’ defence; it is unlikely that they will be able to count on a goal extravaganza.

We believe that the match will not be productive. Betting Tip - total under 2.5 goals . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.65

1.61Asteras victory

Bet on the outcome

Asteras has already made a serious step towards the semi-finals, winning 2:0 away – now they will have to maintain this result on their home field. It is obvious that the hosts will not take too many risks, but at the same time they are unlikely to allow their opponent, who is clearly inferior in terms of the selection of players, to dominate. It is unlikely that we should expect a rout, but Asteras is quite capable of achieving a minimal victory based on class, without unnecessary expenditure of energy and in conditions of large-scale rotation.

Bet - Asteras win. This bet is offered for 1.61

Bet on corners

Panionios needs to come back and the visitors will probably spend a lot of time attacking, but the hosts are quite capable of responding, there should be a lot of corners.

Bet - total over 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.85
