Olympiakos vs Panathinaikos Prediction: What awaits us in the fiery “Derby of Eternal Enemies”?

The rivalry between Olympiacos and Panathinaikos has been known for years all over the world, and tonight at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium in Piraeus, they will face off. The match is part of the 20th round of the Super League, starting at 9:30 p.m. The matches between these two teams always exude rivalry and from the fans' side, hatred, so it is not surprising that tensions in Greece are at their peak, and it is especially important that this match has a great result significance. It remains to be seen whether Olympiacos will break away at the top or whether the guests will further complicate the season.

The hosts are on a great run of 17 games without defeat in all competitions. The main reason for this is Moroccan striker Ayoub El Kaabi, who has scored a fantastic 18 goals in 26 games in all competitions. The club from Piraeus is in first place in the table with 43 points from 19 games. In the Europa League, they have 12 points from seven games and are in a solid 12th place, leaving behind some much more expensive clubs from Europe. In the last round in the league they were better than Atromitos away, winning 2:1, and last week in the Europa League they won against Porto in Portugal, even though they were considered slight underdogs. However, I think that everyone in Europe respects Olympiakos now, after such a great result.

The guests, on the other hand, have a slightly weaker unbeaten streak, so the Greens are undefeated in their last 15 matches. In the last round, they celebrated (1-0) against city rivals AEK, so it is no surprise that many are rightly announcing today's match as the main turning point of this season. The guests are in third place in the league table with 39 points from 19 matches. They are also doing well in the Conference League, where they have ten points from six matches, which is enough for them to finish in 12th place. Last week Panathinaikos showed great strength as they faced Olympiakos at home in the Cup (1:1) and AEK Athens in the league (1:0) and remained undefated. They are now alongside Olympiakos the biggest favorite for both domestic trophies, and I already can sense that in the Green part of Athens the euphoria is rising and the fans are expecting a big trophy after so many years.

Expert Betting Tips

The home strategist can count on a complete team, while the visiting coach comes without Perez, Vilhena, Sporar, Trouillet, Magnusson, and Kleinheisler. In my opinion, the home team is the slight favorite to win this match. I believe that they are a better team than the guests and that they will win this match. Also, I think that this match will be very tense and we won’t see too many goals as it was in their last match in the Cup ten days ago.

Our prediction for the match is both teams not to score a goal for the odds of 1.74 at 1xbet.

Our second prediction home win for odds of 2 at Betway.

Our third prediction is under 1.5 goals for odds of 2.62 at Bet365.
