Panathinaikos vs PAOK Match Preview

Panathinaikos faces PAOK for the 26th round of the Greek Super League.

Panathinaikos continues to underperform, coming from a 1-0 defeat against PAS Giannina in the previous round on the road. PAS Giannina opened the scoreline early in the game, at the 19th minute, and since then the visitors were unable to create goal-scoring chances, and inevitably they lost for the third time in the last few weeks from the same opponent.

The hosts remain winless in the Super League for three consecutive rounds, sitting at the 6th spot of the league table, with a total of 42 points.

PAOK, on the other hand, had a mediocre performance in the previous round against city rivals Aris but managed to take at least one point with a 2-2 draw. Aris was far the better side on the pitch, leading 2-0 till the 70th minute. However, luck was not on their side and PAOK scored 2 late goals, finding the equalizer in the dying minutes of the game.

After this outcome, PAOK is placed 4th in the league table with a total of 47 points after 25 rounds played.

Both sides are in a bad spell and their managers are struggling to get a positive result in the last few rounds. I think that both teams will seek victory here in order to get some motivation for the upcoming playoffs.

Panathinaikos and PAOK have plenty of quality on their attack but both face a lot of defensive gaps, so I think that the best choice here is Over 2.5 goals to be scored, offered at 2.64 odds.
