Olympiacos vs Panathinaikos Match Preview

Olympiacos two valuable points in the previous round, when they stuck in a bore draw at Volos against the local team. They were clearly superior over the home side, they created a lot of chances, they even saw the ball hit twice in the post. However, the winner never came for them. This outcome dropped them from the top of the standings to the 2nd place with a total of 38 points, 2 point less from the first placed PAOK.

Panathinaikos ended the year also with a bore draw, at home against Aris. It was a really bad performance from both teams, in a game with few final attempts. After this outcome, though, Panathinaikos extended their unbeaten run to 8 games, but they have still trouble winning, as they only have three home wins so far. At the end of the 16th round, Panathinaikos is currently sitting at the 7th place of the table with 22 points, barely outside from the playoff zone.

This is the traditional derby between the two biggest rivals of the Greek league, although in recent years Olympiacos have been a far better side. The fact that fans are not allowed in the stadium due to home ground suspension will surely affect the hosts, while for the away side will be a decent advantage. In addition, Panathinaikos showed in the first match up of these two teams this season, that they are very competitive in such games, capable to get a positive result.
