Asteras T. vs Panathinaikos Prediction: Asteras T. are in big trouble

The series of difficult matches for Asteras T. continues this Sunday when they will welcome Panathinaikos. The visitors with their new manager improved a lot, they are playing well again and they are back in the race for the top. The hosts have three defeats in a row and the pressure on their manager Pantellidis is enormous, and another bad result might be a reason for his change.

Asteras are struggling the whole season, Pantellidis is their third manager this season, but after several good results, this team entered in a series of bad results. They indeed played against difficult opponents, AEK, PAOK, and Panserraikos, but their performances were poor. This match in their stadium can be a turning point or getting deeper in agony, but in my opinion, they can’t hope for a positive result against Panathinaikos considering the way they played so far.

Ever since the Portuguese Vitoria was appointed as manager, Panathinaikos started to play as a new team. They only lost to Djurgarden in the Conference League, and since then they are undefeated in 5 matches straight, winning four and drawing once. They are in fifth place in the table with 23 points, seven points less than Olympiakos, but they certainly can hope for a top 3 finish, considering their current form and the players they intend to bring this winter in the green part of Athens.

Expert Betting Tips

Panathinaikos are dominant in their head-to-head duels, and they are also a big favorite in this match. The hosts will have to do much more than in the previous matches if they want a positive outcome. Playing in this stadium is a big advantage for Asteras, they lost only once in their last five matches. I expect a very tough and tight encounter in which both teams will score a goal even though only one match in their last five ended with over three goals and both teams scored a goal, and Panathinaikos will take all three points in the end.
