OFI vs Panathinaikos Match Preview

OFI prevailed once again at their home ground, 3-1 over Aris on Saturday. They may have a bad start in the first quarter of the match conceding first, but then they were better and deservedly won. After half an hour of playtime, they managed to equalize and they secured their win with two more goals in 3 minutes, between 71' and 73', taking all the 3 points. This was their 6th win in their last 7 home games, which placed them 4th having 22 points.

Panathinaikos won 2-0 over Lamia in the previous round at OAKA Stadium. They scored from the penalty spot just before the end of the halftime, and with a noticeable improvement in the second half, they secured the three points by scoring their second goal in the dying minutes. That was the 6th consecutive game where Panathinaikos remain undefeated and returned in the top-five places of the table having 20 points.

OFI's journey so far is rather impressive, as well as there performance, playing nice and aggressive football. In their last 7 home games, they lost only a single point and with the help of their fans, they are always very competitive. On the other hand, Panathinaikos keep playing better football and having improved performance in the so-called difficult matches, playing significantly better than in those against ''weak'' opponents! Both teams score and concede goals with ease, so my choice here is over 2.5 goals to be scored.
