Panathinaikos vs AEK Athens Betting Tips & Predictions

Panathinaikos have missed out on the Greek Super League again after another dominant showing from Olympiakos, who have a huge 28 point lead in the table to improve on their 12 point lead at the end of last season.

They are still in a battle for for the Champions League though. They sit in 3rd in the Greek Super League playoff table with a point between them and top of the table AEK Athens due to the hosts’ poor start to the playoff round. However, there is a long way to go yet with only two games having been played, so things could change drastically before the end of the season.

Panathinaikos come into this game having not lost any of their last six matches in the Super League, but three of their last four have ended as draws and allowed AEK to close the gap behind them.

AEK were promoted last season after their financial difficulties led to relegation a few years ago. Their season is going as well as they could ever have hoped as they challenge for qualification to the Champions League.

Three of their last five games have resulted in a victory for AEK Athens, but away from home they have only won one of their last nine outings and have lost four of them.

Panathinaikos, on the other hand, have won four of their last five home matches and scored an impressive 16 goals in the process. This record should continue on Monday as they face a poor away side, so odds of 19/20 for a Panathinaikos win look very good value. I’m going for a 2-1 correct score prediction at 17/2 as well.
