Pedro Martins’s side has been playing very well lately, and the home side booked five straight victories in the league. Youssef El Arabi and the lads have been clinical in front of the oppositions’ net, producing 70 goals so far. On the other hand, Olympiakos is tough to beat in the back, as the red-whites conceded only 14 times.

Federico Macheda and the lads haven’t been convincing on the road lately, as they picked up just a point from the last three outings. Panathinaikos fans haven’t enjoyed a couple of previous seasons, and they hope their team can secure a place in the continental competitions at the end of the campaign.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

Olympiakos seeks revenge for the defeat in their previous encounter, and they are considered favorites. They haven’t lost at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium against the arch-rivals since 2014, and the hosts celebrated six times on eight occasions. Olympiakos wants to keep the unbeatable record at the home ground, and we believe they will meet the expectations.

Goals Market Prediction

Head-to-head clashes between these giants have usually been very tight. Just one of the previous five games at Olympiakos’s stadium went over a 2.5 margin, while Panathinaikos failed to score on their last three trips to Piraeus. Since the hosts are very tight defensively and PAO has trouble converting their chances into goals, we don’t expect to see more than two goals in total.
