Panaitolikos vs Olympiakos Piraeus Match Preview

For the 9th matchday of the Greek Super League, Panaitolikos welcomes Olympiakos. 

Panaitolikos comes from a 0-0 away draw at Asteras Tripolis. A result that leaves them satisfied as they put special emphasis on their defensive function with the aim of keeping a clean sheet and succeeded.

With this point, they reached at 11 and are in the middle of the table having a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. Midweek however, Panaitolikos had an awful result for the cup, after the 2-2 draw in regular time and extra time, they were defeated on penalties shoot out 4-3 by Kalamata and were eliminated from the tournament.

Olympiakos are still unstable, last Monday they were defeated in Faliro by PAOK 2-1.They entered the match in a sluggish way and paid for it as they found themselves behind the score in the first quarter. They improved their performance and equalized before the break. In the second half, however, they also entered loosely and found themselves behind in the score again, and despite the opportunities they created until the end of the match, they could not avoid defeat.

It was a result that brought disapproval to the players and coach from the fans after the end of the match as at the end of the 8th matchday Olympiakos are in 5th place with 14 points, having 10 points less from the first-placed Panathinaikos.

Olympiakos could not afford another loss of points as they see the gap from the top places getting bigger and bigger. However, they are unstable, while defensively they rarely keep a clean sheet. Panaitolikos are competitive at home and will play without stress,trying for the best outcome. The competitive behavior of these two teams can give us a match with many chances and goals. My choice is Over 2.5 goals at 2.10 odds.
