Asteras T. vs Panetolikos Prediction: Asteras T. need a win

On Monday, two games of the Greek Super League are scheduled. In one of them, Asteras will meet Panetolikos. Asteras desperately need a win if they want to join the top half of the table. They were defeated in their last two matches in the league, and Panetolikos seems like an opponent against which this bad run can end.

Asteras currently are going through a crisis. They tied two defeats against two better-positioned teams in the Super League. Now they are in seventh place with 29 points, and it is time to regain their good form. In the last round, their opponent were Lamia. Asteras, who were guests in this match, opened the match well, scored a goal in the 11th minute, and kept everything under control until the 36th minute when Ruben Garcia earned a red card. The home team began to pressure the Asteras defense, and they scored two goals in the second half of the game. In the match before it, Asteras lost away to the more powerful AEK 4:2, they beat Atromitos 3:1 at home, lost away to Panathinaikos 2:0, and beat Volos 1:0 at home in their last 5 matches.

In the last round, Panetolikos ended a long streak of matches without a win. Now they are in 11th place, they have only four wins and 12 defeats. In the last round, they finally got a victory. At their stadium, they played against Atromitos and won 1:0. Nikos Karelis scored the only goal in the 24th minute. Five minutes later, his teammate Marios Oikonomou was sent off due to a red card. Atromitos tried to take advantage of that momentum but without success. In the round before this one, Panetolikos played a draw against Volos 1:1. They lost to Lamia 2:1, and to OFI 1:0. In the Cup, they lost to Aris 1:0.

Last season, Asteras won against Panetolikos three times. The results were: 2:1, 2:1, and 1:0 for Asteras. Asteras lost the last two matches against better-positioned teams. Also, they played both games as guests. Asteras plays much better at home than away and will be the favorite in this match. Panetolikos have leveled up their form in recent weeks and are playing a good defense. They struggle in the attack, it is not easy for them to score a goal. This, however, means that they do not create enough scoring chances. I expect the home team to break the streak of bad results and win at home.
