Olympiacos vs PAOK

Olympiacos and PAOK clash for the Greek Cup at the Olympic Stadium, Athens.

Olympiacos after the very easy conquest of the championship with a difference of 26 points from the 2nd-placed PAOK, wants to close the season with the double.

Despite the big difference from his pursuers for most of the season, Pedro Martins managed to keep Olympiakos at a high level until the end.

Socrates Papastathopoulos overcame his injury and participated in Thursday's training program (20/5). Everything shows that he will be available, so Olympiacos will line up in this final with his best squad and absolutely ready in terms of the form.

PAOK, after a disappointing season, finally managed to secure the 2nd place in the championship for prestige reasons. At no point did they convince that can match Olympiacos by making very mediocre appearances for most of the season.

In the last 2 matches, they suffered an equal number of defeats with the last one playing at home by Asteras Tripolis. A defeat that despite the fact that it came in an indifferent match where Pablo Garcia led his team much rotated, seems to have caused shivers at PAOK. The management do not seem to be happy with the work of the Uruguayan coach and even if PAOK wins the trophy he will most likely be a thing of the past. Of course, it seems that Garcia has realized this, in his statements after the defeat from Tripoli seemed particularly irritated.

The red and whites are in excellent form and will have no problem getting another victory over PAOK this season, taking an informal rematch for their 4-2 loss in Nea Philadelphia in the previous final between the 2 teams, 21 years ago.

The difference in quality and in the competitive situation between these 2 teams is big and it is very logical that Olympiacos is the favorite for the bookies. The odds of Olympiacos' victory almost double our stake and seem extremely satisfactory.
