Panathinaikos were defeated just twice out of 20 recent matches of the season. In the Greek Super League “Oi Prasinoi” occupy the third position in the standings, meanwhile, they come close to the participation in the Greek Cup’s final. Marinos Ouzounidis’s team took second place in the Group of the Greek Cup with four points earned and 5-5 goal difference. In the Play Offs Panathinaikos knocked out Kissamikos 3:0, 4:0, Asteras Tripolis 4:0, 1:0 and got 2:0 victory against PAOK in the first-leg match. As a result, the side recorded 14 goals for without conceded goals in five encounters in the Greek Cup. Concerning their performance on the road, “Oi Prasinoi” got eight victories, nine draws and seven losses in 24 away games.
The teams met three times in this season whereby Panathinaikos got triumphs in both home clashes with 1:0 and 2:0 scorelines, while PAOK broke the rival in front of their fans with 3:0 scoreline. I believe that PAOK will manage to beat Panathinaikos at their own turf as well, nevertheless, that success will not allow the team to promote to the final.
Prediction for match: PAOK to win.
