Panathinaikos vs Xanthi Match Preview

Panathinaikos registered their first win in the previous round at Nea Smyrni 1-0. Their performance was average, however, after their draw with Olympiakos they had a boosted morale. Now they want to continue their positive streak in the game against Xanthi, which will take place on neutral ground, in Rizopouli, due to the maintenance of the grass in OAKA.

Before the international break, Xanthi registered another win, 3-1 over Volos. They were superior to their rivals and it was easy to reach their 4th win in 5 games, so now they sit in the 2nd place of the table, having 12 points. It's worth mentioning their great performance from the beginning of the season, completely different from what they have shown in the previous years.

Panathinaikos are in form and they will search for another three-pointer to improve their place in the table. On the other hand, Xanthi are playing attractive football and they can fight for a place in top-six of the table. I expect a spectacular game here so Over 2.5 goals is my call.
