Panetolikos vs Olympiakos Prediction: Olympiakos are favorite

Panetolikos welcome Olympiakos in the 25th round of the Greek Super League. The match is scheduled for Wednesday at 18:00. This will be another difficult match for Panetolikos in a row, as they played against PAOK last weekend in this stadium and lost 3:1. Olympiakos are back in the title race, and with their new manager, they are looking unstoppable.

After 24 played rounds, Panetolikos have a record of 4 triumphs, 7 draws, and 13 defeats. That is enough for position number 11 and 19 points won, which is only 2 points more than the last placed team Kifisia. Recently, they have played a little better, so in the last month they recorded 2 draws, 1 triumph, and a defeat in the last round against PAOK at home with a score of 1:3, even though they were leading at halftime in that match. In this match they will enter with the same tactic as in the last round, their main objective will be do defend and stop Olympiakos’ attacks.

The team from Piraeus is no longer as dominant as before, and every year they find it increasingly difficult to cope with their many rivals. They are currently in 4th place in the table with 50 points, which is 5 less than the first-placed AEK. However, we must emphasize that Olympiakos are currently in the best form of all rivals, and they have recorded the same number of victories in the last 5 matches. In the last round, they celebrated after a turnaround against Asteras with a score of 2:1. They have 3 triumphs and 2 defeats in their last 5 away games.

I think that Olympiakos will attack from the first minute and take control of the match. I expect them to push hard and try to decide the match winner in the first half. They will have another “easy” opponent in the next round, and with two more wins this week, they can put more pressure on the title contenders. Panetolikos are far from Olympiakos’ level, they are struggling against all top-level teams in Greece. In their last 5 matches, Olympiakos won all of them, and I expect an easy and confident away win in this match as well.
