Top-five is their goal

Panetolikos suffered a huge loss (3-0) vs OFI in Iraklio. Things could have been different, if they have taken the advantage to score from the penalty spot in the first half and if they weren't playing with a man less from the 70th minute due to their goalkeeper's sent off. Now they sit on the 8th place of the table having 22 points. Their goal is to reach a top-5 spotspot and so it's crucial to win Xanthi tonight.

Xanthi registered an impressive home win 2-1 vs Atromitos, however Olympiakos eliminated them from the Greek Cup. Either way, based on their positive results in the League, they are above Panetolikos having 23 points, along with Aris and Panathinaikos. They are closer to a top-5 place more than ever and they want to keep up their successful journey.

Both teams want to win since their mutual goal seems to be quite reachable. According to their performances in the League so far, I expect goals, since both of them can score easily. BTTS will be my call.
