Panathinaikos

Panathinaikos won’t want a repeat of their last result here following the 4-2 Super League loss in their previous game against Olympiacos.

In that game, Panathinaikos had 52% possession and 8 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. For Panathinaikos, the goals were scored by Filip Mladenović (25') and Fotis Ioannidis (75'). Olympiacos got 11 attempts at goal with 7 of them on target. Roman Yaremchuk (1', 51'), Chiquinho (16') and Charalampos Kostoulas (82') scored for Olympiacos.

It has not been often in recent games that Panathinaikos have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Panathinaikos have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 13 goals in the process.

Coming into this contest, Panathinaikos are undefeated in their last 12 home league matches. Visiting teams have certainly not had an easy time of it here.

🗞️ Team News: Panathinaikos

Bart Schenkeveld (unknown injury), Anastasios Bakasetas (Muscle injury) and Giannis Kotsiras (Ankle injury) are unavailable for Panathinaikos boss Rui Vitória.

In all likelihood, To Trifylli will probably use the 4-3-3 system with Bartlomiej Dragowski, George Vagiannidis, Tin Jedvaj, Sverrir Ingi Ingason, Filip Mladenovic, Azzedine Ounahi, Manolis Siopis, Nemanja Maksimovic, Tete, Karol Swiderski and Facundo Pellistri.

📋 Team News: AEK Athens

AEK Athens manager Matías Almeyda has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Anthony Martial (unknown injury) and Alexander Callens (heart problems) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

We’re of the thinking that AEK appear most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 system with a starting lineup of Alberto Brignoli, Lazaros Rota, Domagoj Vida, Harold Moukoudi, Mijat Gacinovic, Petros Mantalos, Jens Joensson, Erik Lamela, Aboubakary Koita, Orbelin Pineda and Frantzdy Pierrot.

⚡ Prediction

We believe that AEK Athens and Panathinaikos could both end up scoring in what appears to be a good match-up, with little separating these two teams.

It appears that a draw might be on the cards. Our tip is therefore for a hard-fought 1-1 score draw when the full-time whistle blows.
