Olympiacos vs Panathinaikos Prediction
Thrylos head into the match in great form, winning 13 of their last 20 games across all competitions. They are unbeaten at home this season. Interestingly, their last home defeat in a competitive match was registered against the visitors in the Super League Greece in March. They are winless at home in this fixture since March 2023 and will look to improve upon that record.
The Shamrock are unbeaten in all competitions since November. Interestingly, their two away games in 2025 have both ended in draws. They have lost just one of their last 11 games in the Greek Cup and will look to build on that form.
There is not much to separate the two rivals as they both head into the match in great form. Thrylos have the home advantage and should be able to eke out a narrow win.
