'Do it like AEK did it' red-whites!

It was a quite difficult cup game the one against AEK for Giannis Petrakis' team who suffered an 0-4 home loss. The final result was formed before the halftime, Ponce scored a brace, Mantalos scored a penalty from the very beginning of the match and Michael scored an own goal (0-2). In the second half, Giannina missed a chance as Barkas blocked Atanasiadis' penalty kick. In the following game, PAS Giannina drew 1-1 vs Panionios in their first game of 2019. In the winter transfer window, they signed for 1,5 years the Georgian winger Shergelashvili, while Manos, a player of Olympiakos, came on loan for 6 months. They believe that in this way, they will secure their place in Super League.

Olympiakos qualified to last 32 of Europa League and they've improved their performance significantly from that point on. In the previous round they won the three-pointer against Levadiakos quite easily. Fortounis opened the scoreline at 7' while Guerrero formed the final 0-2 at 50'. They had also a bore draw with Xanthi in a cup game, so the second leg at Karaiskakis Stadium is still open. Team became stronger with the signs of attacker Soldano (from Union Santa Fe) and George Masouras (from Panionios), while attacker Gil Dias (from Nottingham Forest) is expected to join the squad as soon as possible.

In my point of view, the red-whites are closer to another win, one way or another. There is an huge quality difference with Giannina, and besides this, home team are not on their best form lately, especially after their embarrassing loss vs AEK. Odds at 1.40 are not a tempting price, but I'll give them a try.
