Panaitolikos vs Atromitos Match Preview

Panaitolikos faced AEK in the previous round and they were unable to avoid defeat losing by 3-1. They were back in the scoreline conceding from the penalty spot at the 29th minute but they managed to equalize shortly before the end of the first half. However, in the second half they acceded to the superiority of the home side and simply suffered another defeat. With only one win in 17 games so far, Agrinio's team remains in the 13th place of the table with 8 points. The Greek Cup became a second priority for Panaitolikos, as they drew against Panionios in their midweek game for the round of 16 of the competition.

In an interesting game against Asteras Tripolis, Atromitos won 2-1 last week. After a mediocre first half without many goal attempts created from both sides, Atromitos opened the scoreline at the 76th minute of the game, and Asteras Tripolis equalized shortly after. However, Atromitos found the winner at the 86th minute from the penalty spot. After this outcome, Atromitos reached 22 points and is 8th-placed in the table. On Tuesday afternoon they prevailed over Volos 3-0 on the road and they almost secured their ticket for the quarter-finals of the Greek Cup.

This is a match between two teams that target the victory. Panaitolikos are aiming to get as many points as possible in order to stay at the top level of the Greek football and Atromitos to reach the top-six of the standings. My choice here is both teams to score.
