Athens Kallithea and Olympiacos will battle for three points in a Greek Super League matchday 15 clash on Monday (December 16th). The game will be played at the Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium.
The hosts will be looking to bounce back from the 4-2 defeat they suffered at home to Levadiakos. They were two goals up by the 52nd minute courtesy of goals from Nicolas Isimat-Mirin and Mor Ndiaye. However, their visitors rallied, with Ioannis Kosti halving the deficit in the 56th minute while Zini scored a hat-trick.
Olympiacos, meanwhile, played out a goalless draw at home to Twente in the UEFA Europa League in a game that saw both sides miss a first-half penalty.
They will shift their focus to the domestic scene where their last game saw them claim a comfortable 3-0 home win over Volos.

Olympiacos are on course to end their two-year league drought and hold a three-point advantage at the summit of the standings. They are also relatively well-positioned in the Europa League.
