Panathinaikos vs AEK Athens Prediction: Is Athens green or yellow?

The last match of the Super League in Greece this Sunday is the great derby in Athens between Panathinaikos and AEK Athens. Both teams are having a disappointing season, especially AEK Athens, who were the main opponent of Olympiakos in the title race, but they lost the pace too early in the season, and they weren’t part of any European competition, which was a huge blow for them. Panathinaikos were hoping to finally, after 15 years of waiting, compete for the title until the end, but they didn’t have enough strength to keep up. A win in this derby, besides the important points, would mean a lot to the players and their fans and will boost the confidence of the winner.

In the first round of the Championship Group, Panathinaikos were blown away in the biggest Greek derby against Olympiakos 4:2. That match showed how big the difference between the biggest Greek teams really is. It was their third match without a win in all competition, and now they are in 3rd place with 50 points, three points less than AEK Athens and one point more than PAOK. At home they are very strong, and haven’t lost in the last 15 matches in all competitions. The last team that won in this stadium was Chelsea in the Conference League. I think that Panathinaikos have a good chance to end the bad run and get back to winning ways today in front of their fans.

I think that AEK Athens should be the most disappointed team this season from the top 4 teams in Greece. They were entirely focused on the league and winning the trophy again, but they failed to keep up with Olympiakos. They were also knocked out of the National Cup in the semifinals by Olympiakos, even though they won in the second leg last week 2:0, but lost in the first leg 6:0. However, it was a very important win for them as they ended a bad run of four matches without a win. It will certainly help them today in this derby against the other rival from Athens. In the last round in the league, they suffered a heavy defeat at home against PAOK, even though they were up 2:0. It showed how low confidence they have, and I expect of them to take a more defensive oriented, careful approach against Panathinaikos.

Expert Betting Tips

I think that Panathinaikos are in less crisis than AEK Athens at the moment, and they will use the energy from the stands to win this derby in Athens. Even though AEK Athens won last week in the Cup against Olympiakos, they showed many weaknesses recently, and it will cost them in a match of great importance. In their last four matches, the home team always won, and I think it will be the case once again. Also, I don’t expect to see too many goals as both teams will try firstly not to lose this derby.
