Olympiacos host Panathinaikos at the Georgios Karaiskakis on Sunday in the opening championship round fixture of the Stoiximan Super League. The hosts will look to seal the deal in the final games of the season to confirm their place as champions.
Olympiacos extended their unbeaten league run to 16 games with a 1-0 win over 10 -men OFI to put themselves seven points clear at the top going into the championship round. They are yet to lose a domestic game since October as they seek a record 18th Super League title.
Panathinaikos, meanwhile, had a mediocre ending to the season, losing two of their final five games and only managing a point in the 90th minute against Atromitos in their last league outing.
Trending
Ten points off the top, Panathinaikos will be keen to return to top form and potentially move into Champions League qualification spots, as they are only three points behind second-placed AEK Athens.
