Panaitolikos will play host to Olympiacos at Stadio Panetolikou in the Super League Greece on Monday. The hosts are not in great shape heading into this game, as the visitors are aiming to keep their place.
Panaitolikos vs Olympiacos Preview
Panaitolikos are coming up against the best team in the campaign currently and will need to be at their best to pull through. The hosts dropped five points in their last two matches, which kept them in the sixth spot on 23 points. Panaitolikos have won six times, drawn five and lost five after 16 rounds of matches.
Καναρίνια are in search of their first top-flight title. Last season, they finished ninth out of 14 teams. They look ambitious this term though. Panaitolikos have defeated two of the top five teams, AEK Athens (1-0) and Aris (2-1), and held the leaders Olympiacos to a goalless draw at home. However, the hosts have suffered three defeats in their last five home matches.
Olympiacos have won 10 matches out of 16, drawing four and losing two. They sit atop the standings on 34 points, but are barely above second-placed PAOK, who are trailing by one point (34-33). The visitors could lose their leader status if they record any result other than a win on Monday.
Thrylos hold the record of the most Super League Greece titles – 47, with the last one won in 2021-22. Last season, they finished third behind champions PAOK and AEK Athens. With 10 rounds of matches to spare, Olympiacos will hope to hold on to their slim lead and possibly stiffen their stranglehold on the top spot.
