Volos NFC vs Panathinaikos Match Preview

Volos welcomes Panathinaikos for the round of 16 of the Greek Cup in the rematch of 2-1.

After an impressive start in the league, Volos have started to slide. Last week, they drew in Lamia and thus stopped a series of 6 consecutive defeats. They did not have a league game at the weekend so the team had a week to prepare for this crucial cup game.

Panathinaikos come from 2 consecutive victories with 2-0 in the league and seem to be in good condition. The greens want to continue in the cup in order to fight for a trophy after many years. The 2-1 of Leoforos gives them the lead but if they do not score in Panthessaliko they will hardly be able to qualify.

Both teams want to continue in the next round and will put their best effort to qualify. Volos are expected once again to play offensively since they are not comfortable with a draw in any case and this will give a lot of space to the greens to create chances in counter-attacks.

My choice will be to see goals from both sides here. Besides, in their 2 previous encounters this year, we saw goals from both sides, 2-1 in the cup game and 5-1 in the league.
