Command Analysis
Panathinaikos
GreeceCurrent form
Before the start of the season, Panathinaikos was one of the clear contenders for the championship victory – in terms of player selection, the greens were second to none of their competitors. So far, Rui Vitoria team does not fully live up to this status, occupying third place in the table with 36 points, but has not fallen out of the championship race. Leader Olympiacos has moved ahead by four points, AEK has one point more and the entire fight for the title is still ahead. In the last round, Panathinaikos sensationally lost points in a match against Panserraikos – a 2:2 draw interrupted a series of eight victories in a row in all tournaments.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jedvaj, Magnusson, Ounahi and Sporar are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Panathinaikos have won eight of their last nine matches

Olympiacos
GreeceCurrent form
Olympiacos, like its current opponent, was considered a clear contender for the championship before the start of the season and so far it has justified this status. With 40 points, Jose Luis Mendilibar team leads the table, but so far it does not have a serious gap from its competitors - second AEK is three points behind, while Panathinaikos has four points less. In the last round, Olympiacos beat Aris 2:1 at home, thus achieving its third victory in a row and already the 12th this season.

2.07Tip and bets
Panathinaikos will certainly strive to win the home match and gain an advantage before the return match – without him, it will be difficult to count on Karaiskakis. Olympiacos has two difficult matches ahead against Atromitos in the championship and Porto in the Europa League, today the visiting coach will probably use a large rotation, given the presence of the return match, so it makes sense to give preference to the greens, they are quite capable of winning.
We believe that the hosts have a better chance of winning. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (0) on Panathinaikos . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.65
Bet on total
Panathinaikos will obviously be determined today and there will be a risk - without a win in the first match, it will be almost impossible to count on reaching the semi-finals. It is unlikely that Olympiacos has a chance to play to zero, the rotation will obviously be large-scale, and the opponent will take advantage of this. At the same time, the red-whites are in excellent shape and are distinguished by high implementation, they do not need many chances to score, the guests are quite capable of responding with their own ball, especially since the greens are far from ideal in defense.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.99
Bet on corners
Panathinaikos are the favourites and will clearly play first – the home team should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Panathinaikos win on corners. This bet is offered for 1.85
