Panaitolikos vs OFI Crete Match Preview

For the 7th and last matchday of the play outs of the Greek Super League, Panaitolikos welcomes OFI.

Panaitolikos suffered another defeat in this mini league, the previous matchday they were defeated in Peristeri by Atromitos 2-0. It was a match with few chances only, especially in the first half the only notable one was the one who conceded the goal. In the second half they tried to react and as time went on they had some chances to score but didn't succeed, while in the last minutes of the match conceded a second goal.

However, despite this defeat and overall bad performance in the play out process, Panaitolikos was favored by the rest of the results of the competition and mathematically ensured their stay in the division with 30 points, having 4 more than the relegation limit.

On the contrary, OFI continued the streak of positive results as last week they drew 2-2 at home against Ionikos. In the first half, they trailed in the score from the first quarter of the match, but shortly before the break they equalized. In the second half, they found themselves behind in the score again and with a numerical disadvantage, nevertheless they did not give up and in the last ten minutes equalized, shaping the final result.

Thus, OFI remained unbeaten in the play outs, having 3 wins and 3 draws, with 38 points they remained in first place in this mini-league.

Panaitolikos disappointed in the last matches, but thanks to the very good first round of the regular season of the championship, they managed to avoid getting in troubles in regards to thei stay. OFI, for their part, continued their decent course in the mini-league with an undefeated streak of 6 matches. This is a game without any interest in standings and I expect it to be open, with a good pace and lots of chances. My pick is Over 2.5 goals at odds of 2.11.
