Panetolikos vs Olympiacos: Match Preview
Panetolikos has struggled with consistency, failing to win their last two matches (one draw and one loss). Over their last ten matches, they have secured just three wins. Despite these struggles, they currently sit sixth in the Greek Super League standings. In Greece, teams finishing fifth to eighth compete for a spot in the UEFA Conference League, but Panetolikos has only a four-point cushion, leaving little room for error. Their aim will likely be to secure a place in this playoff group.
Olympiacos, on the other hand, is the current leader of the Greek Super League. With 34 points from 16 matches, they lead the league by just one point ahead of the second-placed team and two points ahead of the third. The competition in the top four is intense, with Olympiacos aiming to reclaim the title after two years without it. They are on a 12-match unbeaten streak, adding confidence to their title ambitions. Olympiacos also boasts the league’s second-best attack, scoring 28 goals in 16 matches, only behind PAOK, who has 31.
Probable Lineups
- Panetolikos: Chavez; Mavrias, Stajic, Liavas, Shelis, Pedro Silva, Pantelakis, Bouzoukis, Perez, Lazoud, Maidevac
- Olympiacos: Tzolakis; Rodinei, Pirola, David Carmo, Ortega; Chiquinho, Dani García, Muzakitis; El Kaabi, Gelson Martins, Kostoulas
Prediction
Olympiacos is the clear favorite for this match. With their impressive unbeaten streak, the second-best attack in the league, and strong championship ambitions, they are well-positioned to dominate. Panetolikos lacks consistency, and it’s unlikely they will take points off the visitors. My betting suggestion is on Olympiacos to score over 1.5 goals, with odds of 1.57.
