Panathinaikos vs Olympiacos Prediction and Betting Tips

Panathinaikos will host Olympiacos at the Spiros Louis Olympic Stadium on Sunday in the final round of the championship playoffs in the 2024-25 Stoiximan Super League campaign. Both teams will be looking to conclude their impressive seasons with a good showing for the fans.

Trifýlli came from behind to pick up maximum points in their 2-1 win over AEK Athens last weekend to seal a second-placed finish and a spot in the Champions League qualifiers. The hosts have had a successful campaign, finishing two places higher than they did last season and will be looking to round things up with a home win against the newly crowned champions.

Olympiacos extended their record league title triumphs to 48 with three games to spare as they picked up a 4-2 win over PAOK in their game last weekend. The visitors are set to play in the cup final just six days after Sunday's outing and will likely opt to rest key players but will still remain confident of finishing the league season on a high.

The sides are very closely matched going into the weekend but Trifýlli will hope to receive an edge from their remarkable home record, having lost just one home league game all season.
