The 'Red-white' train

Olympiakos have registered many concecutive wins lately. Ather they away drew 1-1 vs Xanthi for the Greek Cup, they won 0-2 vs Levadiakos, 1-2 vs Giannina, 3-1 vs Xanthi in the second leg for the Cup, 0-2 vs Asteras Tripolis and finally, 4-0 vs Larisa last Wednesday. Their captain K.Fortounis is playing better than ever. Team have a huge effectiveness and create many chances. Now Olympiakos target to another three-pointer, as their schedule is going to be quite crucial for their future in the League. The January newcomers are Soldanof from Union Santa Fe, Diaz from Nottingham Forest, goalkeeper Yuri Lodygin from Zenit and Abraham Papadopoulos from Brisbane Roar. On the contrary, Nahuel, Fetfatzidis, Manos and Nikolaou resigned. Fortounis and Guilherme will serve their suspension due to yellow cards.

Panionios face many financial problems, however, their last performance against Asteras Tripolis was great and they registered a very important win in Nea Smyrni (1-0). They took this crucial three pointer and now they have 5 points more than the relegation zone. The good news are that the team was finally allowed to make transfers this window. Yaya Banana and Fiorin Durmishaj will be missing tonight because of their yellow card suspension.

Olympiakos deserved even more than the final 4-0 vs Larisa, based on their missed chances. They will try to open the scoreline from the beginning for another game and eventually get another easy three-pointer, as heir upcoming schedule is quite difficult. Panionios can't compete Olympiakos, especially this period. A selection in scoring will be my call, over 2.5 goals is offered at decent 1.60.
