Panathinaikos will welcome Kallithea to Athens Olympic Stadium in the Super League Greece on Sunday. Both sides are on opposite paths as the regular season enters its final lap.
Panathinaikos vs Kallithea Preview
Panathinaikos have won nine out of 15 matches, drawing five and losing two, which leaves them in the fourth spot on 29 points. They will qualify for the championship playoffs if they finish the regular season in this position. However, with nine rounds of games to spare, they must fight to avoid dropping out of the zone.
Trifýlli are in search of their first top-flight title since 2009–10 when they last won it. Last season, they finished fourth. However, with just a two-point gap between the top spot and the fourth place, the fight is expected to be intense this term. Panathinaikos will enter this meeting on the back of a five-game winning streak.
Kallithea’s campaign appears to be in complete disarray. They are yet to secure a win after 15 rounds of matches, drawing nine times and losing six. The unending run of poor results has led to the dismissal of Italian coach Massimo Donati, with Antonis Prionas now acting as a caretaker coach.
Kallithea won the Super League Greece 2 last season to earn promotion back to the top flight. It is unclear if they will survive the heat but, considering their journey so far, they are definitely not on track. They sit 13th out of 14 teams in the standings, tied on nine points with bottom-placed Lamia.
