Tip Olympiacos - Panathinaikos Athens

Prediction published on 02/01/2020  by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 02/01/2020 at 16:56

Olympiakos are in second place in the Greek Super League, two points behind leaders PAOK. They are the only side still unbeaten in the league and will hope to keep that record intact at home against seventh placed Panathinaikos. Olympiakos are unbeaten in their last 26 league matches with just one defeat in 39 and are ten points clear of third placed AEK Athens. They have drawn two of their last five league matches with 14 goals scored. Home form has seen them win seven and draw one of their eight league games with only three goals conceded. Only the league leaders have come away from anything from Olympiakos this season. They are unbeaten in their last 19 home league matches with at least two goals scored in six of the last seven.

Panathinaikos are 16 points behind their opponents and have drawn three of their last four league matches. They are only a point adrift of fourth place but their current position puts them in the Relegation group. Panathinaikos have problems in front of goal with only 16 league goals scored this season and only four sides have hit less goals. They have only conceded 18 goals though and only the top two have let in less in the Super League this season. Away form has seen them draw five of their eight away league games this season. Their only loss was 4-0 at Aris and the last four they have played on the road have ended level. This is a much tougher game though and the tip is for a home win with Olympiakos ahead at both half and full time.
