Panathinaikos and Atromitos will square off in the second leg of their Greek Cup round-of-16 tie on Wednesday (January 8th). The game will be played at the Olympic Stadium of Athens.

The hosts hold a narrow advantage in the tie, having claimed a 2-1 away win in the first leg last month. The Shamrock are coming into the game on the back of a morale-boosting 2-1 comeback win over rivals PAOK at the same ground in the league. Andrija Zivkovic gave their visitors the lead in the second minute but Fotis Ioannidis drew the game level 10 minutes later. Azzedine Ounahi stepped off the bench to score the match-winner in the 90th minute after PAOK were reduced to 10 men on the hour mark.

Atromitos, meanwhile, fell to a 1-0 defeat at home to Asteras Tripolis in the league. Nigerian defender Oluwatobiloba Alagbe's 79th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.

Pablo Garcia's side will turn their focus to the cup, having booked their spot at this stage with a 2-1 away win over Levadiakos. Panathinaikos received a bye to this stage.

The winner of this tie will face Olympiacos in the quarterfinal.
