Panathinaikos vs Olympiakos Prediction: Last dance of the season of eternal rivals

Panathinaikos vs Olympiakos: Prediction and odds on the Match on 11 May 2025

Prediction for the Super League game between Panathinaikos and Olympiakos to take place on 11th May 2025 at the Olympic Stadium of Athens. Olympiakos won the league, Panathinaikos qualified for the Champions League, and this derby is only for honor and pride. In this rivalry, the honor sometimes comes even before the standings in the table.

Panathinaikos: form and statistics

What a Hamlet-like outcome in the Greek league playoffs and a great celebration for Panathinaikos. The "Greens" won after the reversal of AEK 2:1, while Olympiakos celebrated against PAOK 4:2 in the finish. Thus, their great rival secured second place and a place in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. Panathinaikos was losing to AEK at halftime, but managed to make a breakthrough and reach second place with the victory. Greek vice-champion Panathinaikos will try, from the second qualifying round, to win a place in the UEFA Champions League. In the last five matches in the league, Panathinaikos have three wins and two defeats. They reached their goal, 2nd place was a realistic objective, but they are highly motivated to win against their biggest rival and a new champion of Greece in front of their fans.

Panathinaikos: Lineup

Panathinaikos looked well on the field in the last round against AEK Athens in a 4-2-3-1 formation, and I think that they will certainly use it in today's derby. It gives them more opportunities to use counterattacks and exploit the flanks, while in defense, it gives them more stability. In the last duel against Olympiakos, they used a 4-4-2 formation, and it didn't work out very well for them. Rui Vitoria has some concerns about injured players, but the most important is whether Tin Jedvaj will be fully ready to start this match.

🔖 Panathinaikos probable starting lineup (4-2-3-1)

Dragowski– Vagiannidis, Palmer-Brown, Ingason, Mladenovic – Maksimovic, Gnezda Cerin – Pellistri, Ounahi, Tete – Swiderski

⛔️ Out: G. Kotsiras, P. Max, G. Nikas B. Schenkeveld (all injured)

👤 Head coach: Rui Vitoria

Olympiakos: form and statistics

It was celebrated last week in Paris, but it was also celebrated in Athens. By placing Paris Saint-Germain in the finals of the UEFA Champions League, like Inter a day earlier, the Greek champion Olympiakos secured, as the champion with the best club coefficient, a direct placement in the league part of the elite club competition. Considering that both Inter and PSG secured placement in the league part through the league stage, the Greek champion will not have to fight for the elite through the qualifications, but will be able to calmly prepare for this spectacular competition. The team led by Jose Luis Mendilibar convincingly won the 48th championship title of Greece, and the course of the competition in the Champions League also helped them. The last time the red and whites played in the group stage was in the 2020/21 season, when they were in a group with Porto, Manchester City, and Olympique de Marseille. "We are back", stated the new champion of Greece, Olympiakos, on social networks, after the European Football Union (UEFA) confirmed the status of the Athens club. Olympiakos has the best ranking, currently 37th in Europe, after winning the Conference League last season and becoming the first Greek club to win the European trophy.

Olympiakos: Lineup

Mendilibar created a very scary machine that dominates in every match in the Greek Super League. His standard formation is 4-2-3-1 and it allows Olympiakos to control all parts of the field and keep the ball in their possession for a long period. In the last round, we saw how mighty they can be now when they are relieved of the pressure, but Mendilibar certainly has in mind the National Cup final next week and will demand a serious approach from his players.

🔖 Olympiakos projected lineup (4-2-3-1)

Anagnostopoulos – Rodinei, Retsos, Pirola, Onyemaechi – Hezze, Stamenic – Chiquinho, Martins, Velde – El Kaabi

⛔️ Out: A. Horta, C. Kostoulas (all injured), D. Carmo, A. Paschalakis (suspended)

👤 Head coach: Jose Luis Mendilibar
