Panathinaikos vs Panaitolikos Prediction and Betting Tips

Panathinaikos and Panaitolikos battle for three points in a Greek Super League round 25 clash on Saturday at the Olympic Stadium of Athens.

The hosts will look to bounce back from their disappointing 3-1 defeat at Lamia. Aaron Tshibola broke the deadlock for Panathinaikos in the sixth minute before Filip Djuricic equalised in the 72nd minute, eight minutes after coming on. Gustavo Furtado netted a late brace to seal the three points for Lamia.

Panetolikos, meanwhile, fell to a 2-1 defeat at Aris. They were two goals down at the break, thanks to Loren Moron and Monchu strikes. Sergio Diaz halved the deficit just past the hour-mark, but Panetolikos were unable to complete the comeback.

The loss left them in eighth spot in the standings, with 32 points from 24 games, while Panathinaikos are third with 46 points.
