Panaitolikos vs AEK Athens FC Match Preview

For the 5th matchday of the Greek Super League, Panaitolikos welcomes AEK to the stadium of Agrinio.

A great victory for Panaitolikos the previous matchday, they prevailed 2-1 against OFI in Heraklion. They entered the match stronger and in the first quarter took the lead in the score, but then as time went on their performance dropped and gave the home team the right to equalize just before the break. In the second half, the pace dropped on both sides but it was the team from Agrinio that took advantage of one of the few opportunities and scored the winning goal.

Thus, Panaitolikos completed 3 matches unbeaten and after 4 matches are in 4th place in the Super League with 7 points.

AEK didn't make it in the derby last weekend, they were defeated by Panathinaikos 2-1 at Leoforos. They took the lead on their first chance in the 35th minute, but then found themselves back on the scoreboard with two well-shot penalty kicks by the hosts. In the second half we had a fast paced match, with opportunities on both sides for both teams, but the result did not change, so the guests could not take anything from the match.

This was the second loss of points for AEK in the first 4 matches and the end of the match found them in 7th place with 6 points.

Panaitolikos has started the league very well, they come from great victory away from home, while at home are always competitive. AEK, for their part, after the defeat in the derby want to react, while with a new points loss they will stay away from the first places. I think we will see an open match with many opportunities and scoring from both sides. My choice is BTTS at odds of 2.05.
